A Rare Case of Liver Metastasis in Malignant Melanoma of the Vagina

Abstract Background Anorectal malignant melanoma (ARMM) has an extremely poor prognosis, and there is no report of resection of liver metastases so far. We report herein a rare case of postoperative laparoscopic partial hepatic S7 resection for rectal malignant melanoma. Case presentation A 51-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of an ARMM underwent a laparoscopic rectal amputation. Eleven months later, computed tomography (CT) revealed a 14-mm nodule in liver segment 7 (S7), which was diagnosed as a hepatic recurrence of the ARMM. Because no other recurrences were found, a laparoscopic partial resection of S7 was performed. Pathological analysis found intracellular melanin deposition, and immunostaining was S-100 (+), HMB-45 (+), and SOX-10 (+). Based on these findings, a liver metastasis of malignant melanoma was diagnosed. The patient is alive 7 months after the second surgery and has so far experienced no recurrences. Conclusion We reported an extremely rare case of a laparoscopic resection of a liver metastasis following surgery for ARMM.

Breast Metastases

The metastasis of extra-mammary malignancy to breast is extremely rare; literature reports the incidence between 0.4-1.3%. Primary sites include the contralateral breast, leukaemia, lymphoma, malignant melanoma, sarcoma, lung, prostate, ovary, colon and the stomach. Here we present a rare case in which lung cancer was found to metastasise to the breast. Initially the patient presented with chest symptoms and a left breast lump was detected clinically. The radiological and histological investigations confirmed the diagnosis of primary lung cancer with breast metastases. Prognosis of such cases is generally poor.

Abstract Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma(ACC) is a rare and highly invasive endocrine malignant tumor with poor prognosis and insensitivity tochemotherapy, which don't have effective treatment. Although Surgical resection is considered to be the main treatment for ACC, postoperative recurrence and metastasis have become the most important factors of death. Therefore, local treatments such as trans-catheter arterial chemo-embolization, radiofrequency ablation become be new treatment for ACC. Trans-catheter arterial chemo-embolization therapy for ACC patients with liver metastasis has good efficacy and can effectively reduce the tumor burden of patients, which is considered to be safe and easy for patients. Case presentation: We report a 47-year-old female patient diagnosed with stage Ⅳ ACC with liver metastases, who developed symptoms of acute adrenocortical dysfunctions after hepatic arterial catheter chemo-embolization.Conclusion: Trans-catheter arterial chemo-embolization therapy for ACC patients with liver metastasis is not completely safe, and there is a certain probability that it will lead to secondary adrenal dysfunction. Hydrocortisone supplementation can effectively alleviate the symptoms.
