Uterine Tumor

Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare indolent stromal neoplasm of unclear histogenesis with a distinct histopathological entity. Immunophenotypes of sex cord positivity are the most significant information to confirm the diagnosis. We present the case of a 61-year-old female with a polypoid mass in the uterus which was successfully removed by surgical resection as hysterectomy. The pathological diagnosis was UTROSCT, which was characterized microscopically by sex cord images and immunohistochemical features of calretinin, CD99, and WT1 positivity.

A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital for his right adrenal adenoma. Adrenal vein blood sampling revealed primary hyperaldosteronism, and he was referred to our department for surgical resection of his right adenoma. During the operation, a small nodule was discovered in addition to the adrenal tumor. The pathological diagnosis of this nodule was ganglioneuroma. We herein report a rare case of ganglioneuroma incidentally discovered by laparoscopic right adrenalectomy.

Abstract Background Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare, idiopathic, systemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis involving long bone and visceral organs. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is uncommon and most cases develop as a part of systemic disease. We present a rare case of variant ECD as an isolated intramedullary tumor. Case presentation A 75-year-old female patient with a medical history of diabetes and hypertension presented with sudden-onset flaccid paraparesis for 1 day. Neurological examination revealed grade 2–3 weakness in both legs, decreased deep tendon reflex, loss of anal tone, and numbness below T4. Leg weakness deteriorated to G1 before surgery. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) showed an intramedullary mass lesion at T2-T4 with no systemic lesion, which was heterogeneous enhancement pattern with cord swelling and edema from C7 to T6. Gross total removal was achieved for the white-gray-colored and soft-natured intramedullary mass lesion with an ill-defined boundary. Histological finding revealed benign histiocytic proliferation with foamy histiocytes and uniform nuclei. We concluded it as an isolated intramedullary ECD. The patient showed self-standing and walkable at 18-month with no evidence of recurrence and new lesion on spine MRI and whole-body FDG-PET/CT until sudden occurrence of unknown originated thoracic cord infarction. Conclusions We experienced an extremely rare case of isolated intramedullary ECD, which was controlled by surgical resection with no adjuvant therapy. Histological examination is the most important for final diagnosis, and careful serial follow-up after surgical resection is required to identify the recurrence and progression to systemic disease.

Endometriotic Cyst

Endometriosis is a relatively common condition among women, and pancreatic endometriosis has been reported on rare occasions. Such pancreatic lesions are difficult to diagnose and distinguish from other cystic lesions of the pancreas preoperatively. This report describes a case of pancreatic endometriosis in a 51-year-old female patient. Imaging demonstrated an enlarging cyst with findings concerning for a mucinous neoplasm. The patient underwent robotic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Histopathology revealed an endometriotic cyst. Pancreatic endometriosis can be difficult to distinguish from other lesions of the pancreas. Surgical resection should be undertaken in cases where malignancy is suspected.

Diagnostic Pitfalls

Paraganglioma or glomus tumour are named according to their origin. Jugulotympanic  paragangliomas (JTP) originates in the middle ear. There are several diagnostic pitfalls of this tumour. We now report a rare case of JTP in a 47 years old female. Pre-operative diagnosis of this case was chronic suppurative otitis media, Per-operatively it revealed an irregular     somewhat polypoid mass. On histologic examination the mass composed of nests of round to oval cells surrounded by delicate vascular septae and the diagnosis was JTP. Because JTPs are rare tumour and have variable clinical presentation & different histologic findings they are easy to misdiagnose. However this case report may help to generate awareness and to avoid misinterpretation of JTPs.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/akmmcj.v3i2.11693   AKMMC J 2012: 3(2): 37-38

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for around 3% of all cases of skin metastasis. In these patients, solitary metastasis from RCC shows a favorable prognosis. A 68-year-old woman was found to have a right renal tumor in 2009, and the pathological diagnosis was pathological T3 and grade 3 right clear cell RCC. Left-sided RCC developed and was resected in 2018. She subsequently noticed a cutaneous nodule on her abdomen. We performed surgical resection, and the pathological diagnosis was skin metastasis of RCC. We herein report a case of skin metastasis of RCC that developed 11 years after the initial diagnosis that was successfully treated by surgical resection.

Abstract Tailgut cyst is a rare tumor originating from the embryonic remnant located in the retrorectal space. The diagnosis is usually incidental duse to the absence of symptoms. When present, they are nonspecific, such as abdominal pain, dysuria and tenesmus. Imaging tests are a great help in the diagnosis and surgical planning. The standard treatment is resection, which the surgeon must perform to avoid future complications, such as malignancy. We present a case of tailgut cyst in a young patient with prior pilonidal cyst excision, subsequently submitted to surgical resection, to share our experience with a rare case, with few reports in the literature.

Background: Giant fibrovascular polyps (FVP) are relatively rare benign neoplasm of the upper esophagus and hypopharynx. Without previous history, their diagnosis might be difficult as the endoscopic findings are sometimes misinterpretedMaterials and methods: The present report describes a case, in which the patient regurgitated his giant polypoid mass into his mouth and captured it between his teeth and buccal surface until the emergency endoscopic removalResults: After one-year of follow-up, the patient is going well, without recurrence of his polypConclusion: Although the adequate therapy for these lesions is mainly the open surgical resection, most often via cervical esophagotomy, in our case the polyp was removed successfully by peroral endoscopic operation.

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.
