Tumors of the Bladder in Infants: A Case Report of A Benign Tumor And A Review of the Literature

Abstract Adenomyoma is a benign tumor composed of smooth muscle and benign endometrium. These tumors typically originate within the uterus. An extrauterine adenomyoma is a rare entity. We report a uterine-like mass consistent with an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting 22 years following a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The mass was pear-shaped with uterine-type smooth muscle and a cavity lined by functional endometrial glands and stroma. To our knowledge, only 4 other cases of an extrauterine uterine-like mass are reported in the literature. Three involved the ovary, while one was located adjacent to the broad ligament with normal pelvic organs. Although none of these other uterus-like masses were described as adenomyomas with uterine-like features, the histologic findings are strikingly similar. An understanding of the müllerian system suggests that either an embryologic malformation or a differential multipotentiality existing in the subcoelomic tissues in response to hormonal stimulation results in a supernumerary müllerian structure like a uterus, as observed in this case. The presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the mass confirms that the tissues in this mass are hormonally responsive. It is most likely that this uterine-like mass arose from the tissues of the secondary müllerian system in response to estrogenic stimulation.

Rare Benign Tumor

We report a rare case of a parotid oncocytoma in a 63-year-old woman. It is a rare benign tumor accounting for less than 1.5% of all salivary gland tumors. It is known as the parotid mitochondrioma because it is made of cells rich in mitochondria with granular cytoplasm. It is a rare entity poorly documented in the literature, and there are no pathognomonicsymptoms or imaging, which makes the diagnosis of this tumor challenging.Surgery is the main treatment, and the diagnosis is confirmed by the histological study of the specimen. Through this observation, and in light of the literature, we will underline the anatomoclinical and radiological peculiarities of this tumor, to induce clinicians to consider this histological type.

Associated Malignancy

Abstract Background. Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a rare, usually benign tumor arising from the respiratory mucosa of the sinonasal tract. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. In histologically overt benign IPs (i.e. without associated malignancy) irradiation was employed only anecdotally. The patient with gross residual of benign IP after up-front surgery that was subsequently treated with irradiation is presented and the literature reports on the use of radiotherapy (RT) in this tumor type are reviewed. Case report. After the surgical treatment the residuum in the region of the sphenoid and adjacent cavernous sinus was irradiated to 54 Gy in 1.8 Gy daily fractions. No recurrence or deterioration of olfaction, hearing or vision was observed 2.6 years post-RT. Review of the literature. In the literature, six reports were identified with 16 patients describing necessary details on RT and outcome. Twelve of 14 cases (our case included) with gross or subtotal tumor resection and postoperative RT were locally controlled. The lowest and the median irradiation doses were 47.15 Gy and 56.5 Gy, respectively, and the follow-up period ranged between 0.5-20.5 years (median 7.8 years). Conclusions. RT is safe and valuable treatment option in histologically overt benign IPs. It is indicated when the risk of tumor recurrence after surgery is increased and in inoperable tumors.

Review Of The Literature

Myomas or fibroids represent the most frequent type of genital benign tumor in women. Abdominalmyomectomy was developed in the early 1900s as a conservative treatment for women with uterinemyomas. A 29-year-old woman was admitted in our clinic for menomethrorragia and lowerabdominal pain. She had no obstetrical past regarding abortions or deliveries but she desired toobtain a pregnancy in the future. The clinical and ultrasound examination revealed an enlargeduterus of about 10/9 cm with a 8/7 cm fibroid involving the entire anterior wall. We decided toperform myomectomy. Laparotomy was the choice instead of laparoscopy, considering the size andlocalization of the myoma. We succeeded to remove the fibroid, control the bleeding and let theuterus in place. Postoperative the patient presented anemia with hemoglobin levels between 6-8g/dl due to heavy intraoperative blood loss. She received blood products to correct the anemia. Shewas discharged 5 days after the surgery and made a check visit one month later. She had nocomplaints and there was no pathology according to her physical examination. We report the caseof a young woman with uterine large intramyometrial fibroid. The challenge of this case was topreserve uterus and fertility after myomectomy in consideration of the heavy operative hemorrhage.

Pilomatricoma is a benign tumor originating from hair follicle matrix cells and characterized by the presence of cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules up to 3.0 cm in diameter, usually on the head, neck, and upper extremities, rarely on the trunk and lower extremities. An eleven-year-old female with a painless, erythematous-purplish tumor of the back. A dermoscopic examination revealed irregular linear vessels, white structures, and structureless grayish-blue areas. Histological examination after excision confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatricoma. Dermoscopy may be a useful tool for improving the clinical recognition of pilomatricoma.

Giant Pilomatrixoma

Pilomatrixoma, also known as pilomatricoma, is a benign tumor that originates from the matrix of the hair root. It usually presents as a single, slow-growing subcutaneous or intradermal firm nodule with a general size of less than 3 centimeters (cm) in diameter. However, giant pilomatrixomas (more than 5 cm) have been reported infrequently. It is more common in females and usually presents during the first two decades of life (60%) as an asymptomatic, mobile, hard, elastic mass. Most of the cases are benign and affect the face. The authors report a rare case of a giant pilomatricoma of the cheek and discuss the surgical management of these lesions, histopathological findings, and review of the literature.
