Rare Case Report

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are very rare malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissues of tunica, epididymis or spermatic cord. They present as painless hard masses in inguinoscrotal region, and large tumors can be mistaken for testicular tumors. They can spread to retroperitoneal lymph nodes or hematogenously metastasize to lung, bones and bone marrow. Here, we report a case of Embryonal RMS with spindle cell component presenting with painless scrotal mass and lung metastasis at initial diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Spindle Cell Lipoma (SCL) is an uncommon benign tumor of adipose tissue that is usually super􀃶cially located in the posterior neck, back and shoulder region. We report a rare case of SCL in a 39 years old male presenting as neck swelling with c/o stridor and dysphagia. The contrast enhanced computed tomographic scan of neck showed an external and internal part of the swelling traversing through the thyrohyoid membrane suggestive of Mixed Pyolaryngocele. The tumor was excised by a trans-cervical approach but the post operative histopathology was found to be spindle cell Lipoma. We report this case due to its atypical presentation and location.

Rare Case Report

AbstractSarcomatoid carcinoma occurring in the small intestine is very rare. They can be monophasic or biphasic. We report a rare case of monophasic Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the small intestine in a 60 year old male patient. The tumor was an ulceronodular mass involving the ileum circumferentially. The tumor infiltrated the full thickness of the intestinal wall and the serosa of an adjacent loop of ileum. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of sheets of malignant spindle cells. The carcinomatous nature of the tumor was evident only after Immunohistochemistry. The diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant spindle cell tumor of small intestine and immunohistochemical stains are required for the correct diagnosis.

Abstract Epithelioid leiomyosarcoma in the external deep soft tissue is extremely rare. Most epithelioid leiomyosarcomas occur in the uterus. We present a case of epithelioid leiomyosarcoma occurring in the muscle of the thigh of a 78-year-old man. Histologically, the tumor predominantly consisted of round or polygonal cells arranged in sheets with a focal spindle cell component. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the tumor cells expressed vimentin, α-smooth muscle actin, and α-sarcomeric actin. The tumor was negative for desmin, S100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, pan-keratin, epithelial membrane antigen, CAM 5.2, HMB-45, leukocyte common antigen, factor VIII–associated antigen, and CD34. Electron microscopically, some tumor cells contained abundant actin-type filaments in their cytoplasm.

Head Of The Pancreas

Abstract Introduction/Objective Carcino-sarcoma of the pancreas is a rare tumor and very limited clinical and pathologic data have been reported in the literature. As per World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the digestive system, the carcinosarcoma of the pancreas is classified together with sarcomatoid carcinoma and anaplastic giant cell carcinomas in undifferentiated carcinoma of pancreas. Carcinosarcoma is a rare entity with very poor prognosis. Methods/Case Report Here we report a rare case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma in a 68 year old male patient who underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy for unilocular cystic mass in the head of the pancreas. The mass grossly replaces the whole head of the pancreas. Histologically, the lesion showed a high-grade spindle cell component and adjacent moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. On immunohistochemical examination, the carcinomatous component was positive for epithelial markers, and the sarcomatous component was positive for DOG1 and had a focal cytoplasmic staining for S-100. The diagnosis of pancreatic carcinosarcoma was rendered. Treatment options are same as of pancreatic carcinoma. Surgical resection is the best option available for patients. Systemic chemotherapy is indicated for patients with distant metastasis or patients with other contraindications. Despite surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, recurrence rates are high, and prognosis is poor. However, there are no relevant standard chemotherapies available. Based on the limited number of reported cases, the prognosis of carcinosarcoma of the pancreas appears to be poor. But some cases with long term survival have been reported. There are very few primary pancreatic neoplasms with carcinomatous and sarcomatous components reported in the current literature. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion This case highlights the importance of familiarity with histopathology of this rare entity, and to order proper immunohistochemical and molecular work-up when there is a suspicious abnormal spindle cell component.

Rare Case Report

AbstractLiposarcoma in the inguinal region though rare are clinically significant lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult since the clinical findings are very similar to that of inguinal hernia. We report a rare case of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in 85 year old male, clinically diagnosed as left sided indirect inguinal hernia. Surgical excision specimen showed multiple globular lipomatous masses which were yellowish and grey tan with areas of myxoid degeneration and necrosis seen. Microscopic examination showed adipocytes arranged in lobules with numerous blood vessels, lipoblasts and myxoid stroma confirming the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma. He is on regular follow up since two years without any recurrence or metastasis. Our case report highlights the importance of sampling and examination of fatty masses in the inguinal region to rule out the possibility of liposarcoma as they are mistaken for lipoma at surgery.

Liposarcomas are malignant tumors derived embryologically from mesodermal tissues. An unusual site of presentation is the spermatic cord, presenting as an inguinal or scrotal mass. We report a rare case of a liposarcoma of the spermatic cord, mimicking a testicular tumor. The patient was operated, and an orchidectomy, including the tumor, was performed. To our knowledge, there are about 185 similar cases reported in the literature.
