Endometrial Stromal Tumors

Uterine tumors with sex-cord-like differentiation are extremely rare types of uterine stromal neoplasm. These tumors were classified into two groups with considerable practical relevance because clinical behaviour of uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) differs widely from its closely related endometrial stromal tumors with sex-cord-like elements (ESTSCLE). Treatment and prognosis of these tumors are unresolved issues because of the exiguous number of reported cases. We describe a rare case of endometrial stromal tumor with sex-cord-like differentiation successfully treated by resectoscopic surgery and conservation of the uterus, in an infertile patient affected by metrorrhagia. This procedure resulted in a pregnancy immediately after treatment and in a successful delivery. During 60 months of follow-up no evidence of recurrence was observed.

Gastric Mass

Gastric schwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors that arise from the nerve plexus of gut wall. They present with nonspecific symptoms and are often detected incidentally. Preoperative investigation is not pathognomic and many are therefore misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report a rare case of a 37-year old woman who underwent laparotomy for complex bilateral ovarian cyst with resection of gastric-gastrointestinal stromal tumor preoperatively, but confirmed to have a gastric schwannomas postoperatively. This case underscores the differential diagnosis of submucosal, exophytic gastric mass as schwannoma.

Endometrial Stromal Tumors

Endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) is the least common of the endometrial stromal tumors. They are rare neoplasms which are diagnosed in most instances by light microscopy. Although such nodules are benign, hysterectomy has been considered the treatment of choice to determine the margins of the tumor required for diagnosis and to differentiate it from invasive stromal sarcoma Whose prognosis is totally different. We report a case of a 45 years old woman, with presurgical diagnosis of adnexal mass or uterine tumor. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy. Pathologic examination revealed an endometrial stromal nodule. Through this observation, we insist on the fact that the ESNs are rare and benign entities which must be differentiated from the other invasive malignant stromal tumors; this can change the final prognosis.

Sixth Decade

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors that can arise in any part of gastrointestinal tract. It is commonly seen in the fifth or sixth decade of life with slight male preponderance.Intussusception and subsequent obstruction is a very uncommon presentation of these lesions because of their tendency to grow in an extraluminal fashion. In the literature, very few cases of small bowel intussusceptions from a stromal tumor in adults have been described. We report a rare case of GIST presenting as acute intestinal obstruction due to intussusception in an elderly male.

Uterine Tumors

UTROSCTs (Uterine Tumors Resembling Ovarian Sex Cord Tumors) are rare neoplasms of unknown etiology usually occurring in middle-aged women. Less than 100 cases of UTROSCT have been reported so far. Although the typical behavior of UTROSCT is benign, metastatic and recurrent cases can occur. Here we describe an extremely rare case of vaginal vault recurrence of UTROSCT occurring 5 years after total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Though rare, UTROSCT should always be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of uterine masses initially considered leiomyomas.

Rare Tumors

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare tumors, constituting less than 3% of all gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms but are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 10% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors are extraintestinal and mostly arise from the mesentery or omentum. Here we report a rare case of an extraintestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumor of mesentery. Morphological and immunohistochemical features led to a diagnosis of extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i8.11610 Journal of Pathology of Nepal; Vol.4,No. 8 (2014) 682-684

Abstract Context.—One case of leiomyosarcoma and one case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor with prominent osteoclast-like giant cells have so far been reported in the digestive tract. Objective.—To ascertain the clinicopathologic features and biologic behavior of these tumors, we report 3 additional cases of leiomyosarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract and one malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Design.—Histologic and immunohistochemical examinations were performed. Clinical and follow-up data were recorded, and the literature was reviewed. Results.—The age of the patients ranged from 50 to 68 years (mean, 62 years). One of the lesions arose in the stomach, one in the ileum, and 2 in the colon. Three tumors showed a strong positivity for muscle actin and desmin and were diagnosed as leiomyosarcomas, 2 of them showing spindle cells and 1 of them showing epithelioid cells. The fourth tumor reacted strongly positive for c-Kit (CD117) and vimentin, and it was diagnosed as an epithelioid malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor. All tumors were characterized by numerous osteoclast-like giant cells that were unevenly distributed and that, using immunohistochemistry, reacted strongly with CD68. Conclusions.—Malignant stromal tumors with osteoclast-like giant cells of the gastrointestinal tract are rare entities, are more commonly of a myogenic origin such as leiomyosarcoma, and seem to have an aggressive behavior.
