Clinically aggressive “low-grade” uterine carcinosarcoma: A case report

AbstractFibrosarcomas are malignant tumors of the connective tissue, which are characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts. Most of these tumors are localized subcutaneously and cause different symptoms depending on their location. The case report describes a dermal tumor on the outside of the pinna in a 7-year-old female Cashmere goat. The tumor was surgically removed and histopathological examination revealed a low grade fibrosarcoma. Although tumors are rare in ruminants because of the animals’ short lifespan (age of slaughtering in most cases < 24 months) in modern production processes, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Comprehensive Discussion

Rheumatic pneumonia is a well-described, poorly understood, rare manifestation of rheumatic fever that is generally fatal. Until 1958, when Brown and his colleagues presented their comprehensive discussion, pediatric journals provided only five references. Since then, only one article has appeared in the pediatric literature. As illustrated by the following case report, pediatricians need to be aware of rheumatic pnuemonia in order to determine optimal therapy and management. CASE REPORT A.M., a 13-year-old Mexican-American boy, was in apparent good health until he developed fleeting arthralgia, abdominal pain, and low-grade fever. The day following the onset of symptoms acute appendicitis was suspected, and a laparotomy was performed at a community hospital.

Histopathologic Findings

Extraskeletal chondroma is defined as a rare, benign, cartilaginous tumor arising from soft tissues such as tendons, tendon sheath synovia, and joint capsules with no continuity to the periosteum or bone cortex. In histopathologic findings, the tumor exhibits many lobular structures and some parts similar to hyaline cartilage. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate this tumor from low-grade chondrosarcoma because of their similar histopathologic findings. In order to prevent recurrence, it is necessary to remove the tumor as a whole, including the capsule, so as not to leave any remnants of the tumor. In this article, we report our treatment experience with a case of extraskeletal chondroma in the index finger of a 63-year-old patient.
