Cystic Angiomatosis

Systemic cystic angiomatosis is a rare benign disorder due to the maldeveloped vascular and lymphatic system with less than 50 cases reported in literature so far. We report here a case of systemic cystic angiomatosis (SCA) with multisystem involvement affecting the neck, thyroid, thoracic cavity, and skeletal system. The patient initially presented in her 4th decade of life with isolated lymphangioma in the neck requiring surgery. However, she experienced full-blown manifestations of SCA in her 6th decade which closely mimicked metastatic cancer. The diagnosis of SCA could only be established after multiple biopsies. The radiological and histological features of SCA with its course over 31 years in this patient have been described.

Histological Features

Synovial sarcoma (SS) represents about 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is believed that its origin would be found in cells that are related neither to ultrastructural nor to histological features of the synovial tissue. Head and neck is very rarely affected, with the lower extremities being most frequent. Complete resection with or without radiotherapy and chemotherapy is currently considered the best available therapy. This time we present the case of a patient with SS located in the infratemporal fossa, its diagnosis, treatment and evolution. According to our knowledge it is the first reported case in South America.

✓ Extracranial meningiomas comprise approximately 2% of all meningiomas. Involvement of peripheral nerves by meningioma, either by a primary tumor or through secondary extension of an intraaxial lesion, is a much rarer entity; there have been only two reported primary brachial plexus meningiomas and one description of secondary involvement of the brachial plexus by extension of an intraaxial lesion. Although thoracic cavity meningiomas have been described in the literature, their pathogenesis is poorly understood. The authors present the case report of a 36-year-old man who was initially treated for a thoracic spinal meningioma that infiltrated the brachial plexus. After resection, progressive and massive growth with infiltration of the brachial plexus and pleural cavity occurred over a 5-year period despite radio- and chemotherapy. The case report is followed by a review of the literature of this rare entity.

Mucosal Involvement

Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive type of neoplasm that develops in the inner lining of blood vessels and lymph nodes. It accounts for less than 0.1% of head and neck malignancies. The treatment is based on surgery followed by wide field radiotherapy. Anyhow, the risk of local failure and recurrence as well as distant relapse remains high for this disease. We present in this paper a 55-year-old male patient case, with no significant medical history, who was referred for the evaluation of an erythematous and indurated plaque of 2.5 cm in the bridge of the nose. The physical exam showed no head or neck lymphadenopathy, and no nasal or oral mucosal involvement were noted. Multiple biopsies of the nose were taken, and the diagnosis of the specimens was angiosarcoma. MRI showed only soft tissues involvement and no distant metastasis were found on the CT scans. The patient was subsequently treated with total rhinectomy followed by total nose reconstruction. Thus, angiosarcoma of the nose is an uncommon pathology and it should be rapidly diagnosed. A delay in the diagnosis could result in significant therapeutic challenges. Surgery and postoperative radiotherapy are the two pillars of treatment.

Neural tumors localized in jaw bone are relatively rare. This article presents a case of intraosseous neurofibroma of the mandible in a 37-year-old female patient. A review of clinical, radiographic, histological features and surgical management of the patient are discussed along with a review of the literature.

Intracerebral schwannomas are rare tumors of the CNS. We report a rare case of intracerebral schwannoma, presenting as a cystic and solid frontoparietal mass, arising in a 16-year-old girl. The patient presented seizures and headache. Neuroradiologic findings showed a left frontoparietal lesion with cystic and tissular components. The tumor was removed through a left frontoparietal craniotomy. Histological features confirmed the diagnosis of intracerebral schwannoma. Intracerebral schwannomas, unrelated to cranial nerves, are rare. The Schwann cells are not indigenous to brain substance, and hence histogenesis of these tumours has attracted a lot of speculation, but because most reported cases have involved young patients, a developmental origin has been suggested. The theories and literature related to this case are reviewed.

AbstractObjective:We report a histologically proved case of lymphangiomatosis of the skull, involving the temporal bone and presenting as multiple lytic bone lesions.Method:A case report and a review of the literature concerning lymphangiomatosis are presented.Results:Lymphangiomatosis affecting bones is a rare disorder caused by a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, resulting in diffuse proliferation of the lymphatic channels and involving bones, parenchymal organs and soft tissue. Involved bones show massive osteolysis and progressive, localised bone resorption.Conclusion:Lymphangiomatosis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of lytic lesions of the skull.

Immunohistochemical Profile

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis is a rare pathological lesion that affects salivary glands. The majority of cases involve the parotid and its occurrence in minor glands is exceedingly rare. Here, we report the first case of this lesion in the retromolar pad area and discuss its histological features and immunohistochemical reactivity withαSMA and Ki67 markers. A review of the literature on its immunohistochemical profile is also provided. Sclerosing polycystic adenosis has a diverse histomorphology and should be differentiated from other more important pathologic lesions.
