ABSTRACT A total of 3 to 5% of all ovarian malignancies include malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs). They are subdivided into germinomatous and non-germinomatous tumors. Common types of non-germinomatous tumors include yolk sac and immature teratoma. Ovarian yolk sac tumors (YST) are the second most frequent histological subtype of MOGCTs, after ovarian dysgerminoma. They account for 20% of MOGCTs and are frequent especially in childhood and in early adulthood. We report the case of a yolk sac tumor of the ovary in a 13yrs years old female.

Hepatic hydrothorax is a transudative pleural effusion which presents in 5-10% patients with liver cirrhosis. Although fairly uncommon, it is associated with higher morbidity and lower survival rate. The mechanism is yet to be understood fully, but the most widely accepted pathogenesis involves the presence of portal hypertension, diaphragmatic defects, and negative intrathoracal pressure, all of which lead to the formation of unidirectional passage of ascitic fluid from peritoneal cavity into pleural space. Due to its origin, the pleural effusion has similar characteristics to ascitic fluid. We herein report the case of a 60-year-old woman with advanced liver cirrhosis and right-sided moderate hepatic hydrothorax. Treatment given to the patient includes diuretics, sodium restriction, and repeated thoracentesis. Subsequent evaluation of the patient revealed improvement both clinically and radiologically.

Abstract Background: Pseudoangiosarcomatous squamous cell carcinoma, also called pseudovascular, pseudoangiomatoid or adenoid pseudovascular carcinoma, is an uncommon and highly aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma. Histologically, it is characterized by proliferation of atypical keratinocytes with acantholysis and formation of pseudovascular spaces, forming anastomosed channels lined with neoplastic cells that invade the dermis. These cells are positive for cytokeratin and vimentin and negative for vascular markers such as CD31 and CD34. There are few reports of this tumor variant in the literature. Skin, breast, lung and vulva involvement have been described. But to the best of our knowledge, no cases involving the penis have been described. This article aims to describe the first case of angiosarcomatous squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. Case Report: The patient presented with a painful lesion in the penis associated with urinary retention. Macroscopic findings exhibited an ulcerative vegetating lesion that involving the entire glans and part of the penile body, as well as infiltration of penile structures and scrotal skin. Microscopy shows atypical proliferation of sarcomatous keratinocyte pattern mimicking vascular spaces. These neoplastic squamous cells were positive for the cytokeratin marker and were negative for the CD31 and CD34 markers. Human papilloma virus biomarkers, p16, E6 protein and PCR, were all negative. Conclusion: This report presents the first reported case of penile pseudoangiosarcomatous squamous cell carcinoma, as an important differential diagnosis.

Cytokeratin expression has been documented in a variety of sarcomas including synovial sarcomas, epithelioid sarcomas, Ewing's sarcomas and, rarely, osteosarcomas. In osteosarcomas immunohistochemically shown to expression cytokeratins, a component of epithelioid cells is generally present. These epithelioid cytokeratin positive cells raise the possibility of metastatic disease with prognostic and therapeutic implications differing from primary osteosarcoma. The cytokeratin-expressing cells of the cases reported in the literature have not shown definitive squamous differentiation with keratin pearl formation. We report a case of osteosarcoma in which islands of malignant squamous cells were present showing keratin pearl formation and expression of cytokeratins.
