The oral cavity is very unusual site of metastases even though wide spread metastatic disease may be present. The most common primary sites that metastasize to the oral cavity are lung, kidney, breast, and hepatocellular carcinoma. We present a rare case of a 77-year-old Caucasian female with metastasis from a cholangiocarcinoma to the oral floor contiguous with lingual gingival mucosa. The patient presented with left sided rib pain. A CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis showed multiple pulmonary nodules and a single dominant mass in the right lobe of the liver. This tumor was 6.5 cm with multiple satellite lesions surrounding it. The liver biopsy was diagnostic of a moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, consistent with a primary cholangiocarcinoma. After undergoing one cycle of gemcitabine chemotherapy, the patient noticed an extremely rapidly growing mass involving her right lower gingiva and the entire right floor of her mouth. The biopsy of that mass also showed a moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The gingival tumor had a similar cytomorphology and immunophenotype as her cholangiocarcinoma. Therefore, an unusual site for metastatic cholangiocarcinoma was confirmed.

Background. Thyroid carcinoma complicated by hemiagenesis is very rare, and previous reports have not described this cancer on the side of the absent lobe. Methods and Results. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman in whom left thyroid hemiagenesis was discovered incidentally during investigations of abnormal sensation during swallowing. A tumorous 1.4 cm lesion was also found on the side of the absent lobe, left of the isthmus. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy revealed class V papillary carcinoma, but no lymph node metastases. Total thyroidectomy was performed for stage cT1bN0M0 carcinoma. Histopathology revealed normal thyroid tissues in the right lobe and isthmus, while the left lobe was absent. The mostly papillary carcinoma was adjacent to the truncated thyroid tissue, with a portion histologically consistent with poorly differentiated carcinoma. Conclusions. All previously reported cases of thyroid cancer complicated by hemiagenesis have represented carcinoma occurring within the present lobe. This case is extremely rare.

Metastatic tumours of the hand are uncommon. The majority of these tumours affect the phalanges and the primary tumours are usually bronchogenic in origin, with breast and kidney tumours next in frequency. Metastatic gastrointestinal to the hand is rare and usually from the colon. We report a case of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach antrum presenting with a metastatic lesion to the right 4th metacarpal bone. A review of the literature is included.

A Site

Cutaneous metastases from large bowel cancer are uncommon and are usually associated with organ involvement. Localization of lesions to the skin is mainly attributed to vascular and anatomical relationship, since most of them are seen in the abdominal wall or in a surgical scar. We report a 73-year-old woman in whom metastatic nodules from a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the right colon developed throughout the skin (buttock, trunk, chest wall, arms, and neck) and remained the only sign of extranodal tumor spread until patient's death, seven months later. This unusual behaviour suggests that localization of neoplastic cells to the skin may be a site-specific process, determined by adhesion molecules and/or by growth factors found at that site.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Hepatoblastoma is a malignant neoplasm of liver, exclusively seen in pediatric population. It has been known to occur with various syndromes like Li-fraumeni, Beckwith-Wiedemann, and Simpson-Golabi- Behmel among others. Small undifferentiated cells and macro-trabecular pattern with increased mitotic activity and AFP>100 are associated with unfavorable prognosis. Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a rare genetic disease. Even though there has been intensive research on the genetic and epigenetic function of the CREBBP and EP300 genes in animal models, the etiology of this rare and devastating syndrome is largely unknown. Hepatoblastoma with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is an extremely rare occurrence. Methods Here we present an incidental case of Hepatoblastoma with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome Results A 17-month-old Caucasian female with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, was found to have an incidental 1.1 cm nodule in the right lobe of liver. Her AFP was elevated (244.9ng/ml). Hepatic resection revealed a well-circumscribed tan white mass, measuring 3.5 cm in the greatest dimension. On microscopy, uniform round to cuboidal cells resembling fetal hepatocytes, with finely granular cytoplasm, small round nuclei, and indistinct nucleoli were seen. The cells were arranged in solid sheets and scant trabecular arrangement separated by narrow sinusoids. The tumor displayed predominantly fetal histology, with rare embryonal and small undifferentiated cell nests. The diagnosis of Hepatoblastoma was made. The patient underwent chemotherapy and was doing well at 5-years follow-up. Conclusion Extensive screening of patients in recent times has revealed mutations in CREBBP and EP300 in only around 50% of cases. The genetic and epigenetic associations of the syndrome in the remaining half of cases remains to be identified. Hepatoblastoma with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome is an extremely rare occurrence and might shed some light on other genes that could be involved in this syndrome. Further studies to review the mutation spectrum to understand the causative molecular mechanisms are deemed essential.

A 43 year old female presented to the emergency department for nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain secondary to a bowel obstruction subsequently revealed to be a poorly differentiated large cell neuroendocrine tumor of the colon. After a CT scan showed a mass in the ascending colon with possible metastasis to the right lobe of the liver, an exploratory laparotomy was performed. A hemicolectomy was performed with biopsy of the liver mass. Pathology was consistent with large cell neuroendocrine tumor in all specimens including the liver biopsy, ascending colon, and transverse colon. Although large cell neuroendocrine tumors of the colon are a rare malignancy, they are an important consideration in the workup of multiple colonic masses with metastases, especially in patients presenting with bowel obstruction. The literature on poorly differentiated large cell neuroendocrine cancer and treatment is reviewed. Poorly differentiated large cell neuroendocrine tumor is a rare pathology but should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a colon mass and bowel obstruction.

The incidence of synchronous colorectal and lung cancer associated with adrenal metastasis is relatively rare. We report of patient with tumour located in the right colic flexure adjoining ascending colon, mid and partly upper lobe of right lung. Pathological examination showed the colorectal and lung cancer were poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Right adrenal mass was adrenocortical metastatic carcinoma. Surgical treatment and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for the lung cancer were different from those for colorectal cancer with pulmonary metastasis. If possible, radical resection should be performed for each cancer when synchronicity is found. CBMJ 2020 January: Vol. 09 No. 01 P: 30-37

Abstract A 59-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain and weight loss. Ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging scans of the abdomen showed a tumor in segments 6 and 7 of the right liver lobe, measuring 8 cm in greatest diameter. The tumor was subsequently resected, and histopathology showed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma immunoreactive for CA 19-9 and cytokeratin 19. In the absence of any other clinically detectable primary tumor, the lesion was diagnosed as a peripheral intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. In addition, multiple bile duct hamartomas were found in the surrounding parenchyma. The tumor was unrelated to Caroli disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, or nonbiliary cirrhosis, as demonstrated by further clinical and histopathologic investigations, but probably was associated with the presence of multiple bile duct hamartomas. To our knowledge, this is the eighth reported case of a cholangiocarcinoma associated with multiple bile duct hamartomas.

Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst

Abstract Background Cystic echinococcosis (CE)/hydatidosis is an important neglected parasitic zoonotic disease caused by the metacestode of Echinococcus granulosus s.l. The present study was designed to identify the pulmonary CE species/genotypes in isolated human underwent to surgery in our center in Southern Iran. Methods The study population of this study were all patients in Fars province who were admitted to Namazi Hospitals for pulmonary hydatid cyst surgery. Thoracic surgery was performed in the thoracic ward and the cyst/s was removed by open surgery via posterolateral or lateral thoracotomy. DNA was extracted from the germinal layer or the protoscoleces. PCR technique was performed using the cytochrome C oxidase subunit1 (cox1) gene, and the products were sequenced. Results A total of 32 pulmonary hydatid cyst samples were collected from 9 (28%) female and 23 (72%) male aged from 4 to 74 years old. A total of 18(56%) cyst/s were in the left lobe and 14 (44%) cysts in the right lobe. Sequence analysis of the cysts showed that 24 samples (75%) were E. granulosus s.s (G1-G3) genotype and 8 (25%) were E. canadensis (G6/G7) genotype. Conclusion E.granulosus s.s genotype was the most prevalent genotype followed by E. canadensis (G6/G7) genotype. There was no significant statistical correlation between cysts’ size, location, genotype strain, and patients’ age and gender.

AbstractA 25-year-old woman with fever and epigastric pain was referred to our hospital. Blood examination showed significant liver dysfunction, markedly high C-reactive protein (CRP 19.1 mg/dL) and procalcitonin (48.3 ng/mL) levels. Dynamic computed tomography showed a tumor approximately 120 mm in size in the right lobe of the liver, but with no abscess formation. The patient was hospitalized and started on antibiotics; her CRP level improved, but the procalcitonin level did not decrease. Histopathological examination of the liver tumor biopsy revealed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC). Positive staining of the FLC with an anti-procalcitonin antibody suggested the production of procalcitonin.
