Successful rigid bronchoscopic resection of recurrent pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor after complete surgical resection

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal benign tumor which is generally seen in children and in young adults. It is especially located in the lungs. In histopathological examination, neoplastic fusiform cells originating from a subtype of accessory immune system cells which are called fibroblastic reticulum cells are seen (Kouichi and Youichirou, 2008). Although IMT is histopathologically benign, imaging methods show its tendency for local recurrence and invasion. In most of the cases, it may not be possible to make a distinction whether it is malign or benign. Complete surgical resection is the most important treatment method. In this study, we have discussed the findings of our case having a gastric submucosal located IMT in light of the current literatures.

Abstract Background Primary cardiac tumours are extremely rare. Most of them are benign. Sarcomas account for 95% of the malignant tumours. Prognosis of primary cardiac angiosarcoma remains poor. Complete surgical resection is oftentimes hampered when there is extensive tumour involvement into important cardiac apparatus. We report a case of cardiac angiosarcoma of the right atrium and ventricle, infiltrating the right atrioventricular junction and tricuspid valve. Case presentation Initially, a 22-year-old man presented with dyspnoea. One year later, he had recurrent pericardial effusion. Afterwards, echocardiography revealed a large mass in the right atrium, expanding from the roof of the right atrium to the tricuspid valve. The mass was causing compression on the tricuspid valve, and another mass was seen in the right ventricle. Complete resection of the tumour was impossible. The mass was resected with the biggest possible margins. The right atrium was reconstructed using heterologous pericardium. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative echocardiography showed a small mass remaining in the right side of the heart. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy later on. He survived for 1 year and 5 days after the surgery. After a diagnosis of lung and brain metastases, he ended up on mechanical ventilation for 48 h and died. Conclusions Surgical resection combined with postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy is feasible even in patients with an advanced stage of cardiac angiosarcoma when it is impossible to perform complete surgical resection.

Abstract Background Tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein secondary to colon cancer is rare. We report a case of tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein and liver metastasis due to advanced colon cancer that was treated with chemotherapy and complete surgical resection. Case presentation A 72-year-old man after transverse colectomy with lymph node dissection for advanced colon cancer was diagnosed with tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein and liver metastasis. He underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and had complete surgical tumor resection involving tumor thrombectomy and hepatectomy. There has been no recurrence at 36 months after surgery. Conclusion Herein, we report a rare case of tumor thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein related to advanced colon cancer. The combination of chemotherapy and complete surgical tumor resection may provide long-term survival.

Sinonasal glomangiopericytoma is a rare sinonasal tumour accounting for less than. 5% of all sinonasal tumours. This tumour often presents as another, more common type of vascular lesion and is similarly prone to haemorrhage. The optimal treatment includes complete surgical resection. We, herein, present two such cases adding to the world literature of this rare tumour.

Castleman Disease (CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by enlarged hyperplastic lymph nodes with regressed follicles surrounded by expanded mantle zones of small lymphocytes, and interfollicular vascular proliferation in the hyaline-vascular type. There are two types: unicentric and multicentric. Unicentric, hyalinevascular type of Castleman’s disease can be treated successfully with complete surgical resection with monitoring for reoccurrence. Here we report a case of a patient originally diagnosed with sarcoidosis who was found to have Unicentric Castleman’s disease.
