Pancreatic metastases are rare, accounting for 2%–3% of pancreatic tumors. The pancreas represents an unusual metastatic site of synovial sarcoma (SS) outside the usual localizations (regional nodes, lung, bone, and liver). The diagnosis is evoked by the personnel medical history of SS and imaging then confirmed by histological examination of the guided pancreatic biopsy. Its therapeutic management is mainly surgical with extensive removal of the lesion. So far only four cases have been reported in the English literature. We reported the case of a male aged 30-year-old who was admitted to our Institute for a local recurrence of SS of the left thigh which was initially treated by surgical excision. The patient underwent a wide surgical excision followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. About 15 months later, he experienced a pancreatic metastasis of his SS. He had a caudal splenopancreatectomy with partial resection of the transverse colon followed by chemotherapy. This report highlights the diagnostic difficulties of this rare localization and therapeutic challenge.

Melanoma Case

Background: Nevus spilus is characterized by a pigmented patch with scattered flat or maculopapular speckles. Nevus spilus was first described by Burkley in 1842. Since then, this lesion has been widely debated in the literature, particularly for the possible occurrence of melanoma within the lesion. Objective: We describe the case of a 65-year-old female presenting with a nodular achromic melanoma that occurred within a nevus spilus on the left thigh. Conclusion: Our observation is consistent with the idea that this entity in some circumstances may have the ability to evolve into a malignant melanoma.

Tomography Scan

Left colon perforation usually occurs in complicated diverticulitis or cancer. The most frequent signs are intraperitoneal abscess or peritonitis. In cases of retroperitoneal colonic perforation, diagnosis may be difficult. A 59-year-old woman presented with left thigh pain and with abdominal discomfort associated with mild dyspnea. Computed tomography scan showed air bubbles and purulent collection in the retroperitoneum, with subcutaneous emphysema extending from the left thigh to the neck. Computed tomography scan also revealed portal vein gas and thrombosis with multiple liver abscesses. An emergency laparotomy revealed a perforation of the proximal left colon. No masses were found. A left colectomy was performed. The retroperitoneum was drained and washed extensively. A negative pressure wound therapy was applied. A second-look laparotomy was performed 48 hours later. The retroperitoneum was drained and an end colostomy was performed. Intensive Care Unit postoperative stay was 9 days, and the patient was discharged on the 32nd postoperative day. Pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumomediastinum are rare signs of colonic retroperitoneal perforation. The diagnosis may be delayed, especially in the absence of peritoneal irritation. Clinical, laboratory, and especially radiologic parameters might be useful. Surgical treatment must be prompt to improve prognosis.
