Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that rarely occur in the kidney. Renal leiomyomas usually occur in the renal cortex or capsule. They are less commonly found in the muscularis propria of the renal pelvis and cortical vascular smooth muscle. In this case report, we present a 41-year-old woman who had right flank pain and detected a mass in the right kidney hilum.

Angiomyolipoma is a benign, mesenchymal, hamartomatous lesion often described in the kidney and may be associated with tuberous sclerosis. Nasal angiomyolipoma is an extremely rare tumor with fewer than 20 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of angiomyolipoma arising in the right nasal vestibule in a 68-year-old male with mild, recurrent right-sided epistaxis, and nasal obstruction. With the exception of arterial hypertension, the patient did not have any comorbidities. Gross examination showed a well-circumscribed, lobulated mass. On the microscopic level, it was composed of mature smooth muscle cells, thick-walled blood vessels of varying sizes, and islands of mature adipose tissue. Angiomyolipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis for unilateral nasal masses, especially those situated in the nasal vestibule.

Introduction. Primary hypopharynx involvement of small cell carcinoma is very rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx in a male patient.Case Report. A 50-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of sore throat and swellings in the right side of the neck. Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx located in the right pyriform sinus.Discussion. Small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx has no clear treatment modality due to the rarity of the disease. Systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy should have priority among the therapy regimens because of the high metastatic potential of the tumor.

Introduction. Angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign neoplasms composed of fat, smooth muscle and thick-walled blood vessels in varying proportions. These tumors have a significant female predominance. Case report. We reported a 61-year-old man with spontaneous rupture of AML. Computerized tomography revealed a change in morphology of both kidneys. Multiple lesions of fat density with dilated blood vessels were found in the left kidney. The right retroperitoneum was obliterated with a giant heterogeneous mass originating from the right kidney with a massive hemorrhage, active extravasations, compression of inferior the vena cava and intraperitoneal collections. After radical nephrectomy, histological examination revealed that the tumor was composed of relative proportions of fat, smooth muscle and blood vessels. We incidentally found small renal adenoma. Conclusion. The true nature of AML is unclear, but they are usually classified as hamartomas. Angiomyolipomas are generally benign lesions, although the epithelioid angiomyolipoma, a subtype that occurs in about 3% of cases, can behavior aggressively.

An adenomyoma of the uterus is a nodular tumor-like mass of benign endometrial glands, endometrioid stroma and smooth muscle tissue. Extra-uterine adenomyoma is an extremely rare tumor. The majority of the cases described was from ovary and located in the pelvis. We present a case of a 70 years old woman with clinical and radiological suspicious of disseminated malignancy. In the abdominal wall, a 5-cm nodule of larger dimension detected by computed tomography-scan was biopsied for accessibility reasons. The morphological and immunohistochemical features of the biopsy led us to propose the diagnosis of an extrauterine adenomyoma. This article reports the 22nd case of extrauterine adenomyoma, a rare and poorly understood tumor that could be imagiologically and clinically indistinguishable from a metastasis.

Four days after emergency caesarean section, a 26-year-old lady presents with severe right flank pain and is found to have right hydronephrosis. A right nephrostomy was inserted, but antegrade stent insertion failed. Cystoscopy revealed two sutures obstructing the right intramural ureter. These sutures were removed via the cystoscope using Holmium LASER. Immediate and follow up investigations showed resolution of the injury and normal urinary drainage. This case highlights the importance of cystoscopic assessment of iatrogenic lower ureteric injuries, and its role in their management.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant neoplasm of bones in children; this tumor accounts for 50 to 80% of all skeletal sarcomas. Less often, osteosarcoma affects flat bones (scapula, ribs, bones of the skull and pelvis), bones of the foot, hand and spine. Description of the observation. A 13-year-old girl, 8 months before admission to the clinic, began to complain of pain in her right hand, six months later, a swelling appeared in this area. After radiography, which revealed a bone tumor of the III metacarpal bone, a trepanobiopsy with histological examination was performed. Conclusion: subperiosteal telangiectatic osteosarcoma G II. The child was admitted to the oncology department in November 2018. Before the operation, the girl underwent 4 courses of chemotherapy, as a result of which the tumor reduced in size, which made it possible to perform organ-preserving surgical treatment extirpation of the third metacarpal bone affected by the tumor, followed by autoplasty from the wing of the right iliac bone with fixation of the graft Kirschner needles. The postoperative period passed without complications. As a result of the operation, it was not only possible to radically remove the tumor, but also to preserve 3 fingers of the right (working) hand with good functionality. After surgery, the child received 5 courses of polychemotherapy and is currently in remission. Conclusion. The above observation demonstrates the possibility of performing organ-preserving surgeries using bone autoplasty for rare tumor lesions of the metacarpal bones. This method is more physiological in comparison with the use of allo- or artificial grafts.

Background: Cellular angiofibroma is a benign and rare tumor. It usually arises in middle-aged women and involves the vulva. Complete local excision of the tumor is the best cure, and, usually, there is no recurrence after surgery. Case Report: We describe a 20-year-old woman with a painless, growing vulvar mass who presented about 3 years ago. Her past medical history was negative for oral contraceptives, tobacco, and alcohol, and there were no similar lesions in her family history. A physical examination revealed two masses on the right and the left labia majora and similar lesions on the left axilla and both breasts. An uncomplicated simple resection of the vulvar masses was done in the operating room. There was no evidence of recurrence 12 months after surgery. Histopathologic examination revealed that the findings were consistent with the diagnosis of the cellular angiofibroma. Based on our knowledge, this patient is the youngest case of vulvar angiofibroma. The lesions were large and symmetrical (on both labia majora), although they differed in size. Extravulvar (breast and axilla) lesions were also noteworthy in this patient.

Urological Procedures

Double j stent is commonly used in urological procedures. Its main purpose is to afford the sufficient drainage from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder. Following increased usage of double-J stent, several consequences associated to it have been reported. In this work, we report on a case of “forgotten” double j stent for 1 year in a 32-year-old male patient who visited emergency department with bilateral flank pain, fever, and vomiting for a duration of 3 days. A double-J stent was detected in the plain abdominal X-ray. It was also observed that a 20 × 15 mm stone has impacted the left renal pelvis. Therefore, two operations were performed successfully until the full recovery of the patient. Hence; the main aim of this paper is to increase awareness about the potential complications of “forgotten” double J Stent.

Introduction. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. They frequently occur in the stomach and small intestine, but they rarely occur in the colon and rectum. Case report. This is a case report of a patient with a GIST involving the cecum, and acute obstruction of the small intestine. A 47-year- old male patient was admitted to the emergency surgery department with abdominal pain and distension lasting for a few days. Clinical examination revealed tenderness in the right iliac fossa. Routine hematologic testing revealed anemia, and abdominal x-ray multiple air-fluid levels in the small intestine. Based on the clinical findings, we decided to perform an explorative laparotomy. A large cecal tumor was detected. The proximal parts of the small intestine were severely distended. Discussion and Conclusion. GISTs are more common in the stomach (60-70%) and the small intestine (25-35%), than in the colon, rectum and esophagus. The most frequent complications associated with GISTs are obstructions and hemorrhages. Surgical resection is the primary treatment of GISTs. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally ineffective. Continuous postoperative follow-up is necessary, because most recurrences occur within the first 2 years after complete surgical resection. In the past few years, surgical resection was followed by adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. .
