Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma

Metastasis from distant primary tumors is extremely rare in the paranasal sinuses with few hundred cases in the literature. Metastatic carcinoma of the prostate is even rarer, despite being one of the most common tumors, with only 24 cases published. In this article, we report a case of a 58-year-old male presenting with epistaxis and nasal obstruction as initial symptoms of a metastatic prostate carcinoma in the ethmoid cells and maxillary sinus.

AbstractLeiomyoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is rare. It constitutes about 1 per cent of all benign tumours. This is due to the paucity of smooth muscle in the nose.In this paper, the authors present one case of vascular leiomyoma which arose in the inferior turbinate in a 64-year-old lady. It was treated by partial turbinectomy with the relief of her symptoms of nasal obstruction, epistaxis and facial pain.The English literature on the topic is reviewed.

Proptosis is the forward protrusion of the eye from its normal position in the orbit. There are many causes, the commonest of both unilateral and bilateral proptosis being thyrotoxicosis. Antral tumours are an uncommon cause of proptosis but one that should be considered in any patient with proptosis. A mucocele is a cystic expansile lesion that is lined with epithelium and filled with mucoid secretions. It results from disrupted or obstructed drainage of the paranasal sinuses. Maxillary sinus mucoceles are infrequent and can result in proptosis, nasal obstruction, facial swelling and involvement of the oral cavity. Primary lymphomas of the sinonasal tract are rare, representing approximately 8% of sinonasal malignancies, the maxillary sinus being the commonest site. Malignancy is a diagnosis that must be considered in the aetiology of maxillary mucocele and we believe that this is the first documented case of bilateral maxillary mucocele caused by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma

Objective: Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis (XGP) is a rare entity that has different clinical presentations. This report of three cases illustrates the diversity of clinical features of XGP, together with a comprehensive literature review. Methods: Three elderly male Sri Lankan patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate for severe lower urinary tract symptoms. Carcinoma of the prostate was suspected in two patients, and one of them had a very high prostate-specific antigen level (324 ng/mL), suggestive of metastatic prostate carcinoma. The third patient had a clinically benign prostate gland. The histology of all three resected prostate chippings revealed XGP. Results: This case series encompasses two cases of XGP that mimicked carcinoma of the prostate clinically and another case that had benign clinical features. Patients with XGP can have clinical, radiological and serological evidence of advanced prostate carcinoma. Other rare modes of presentation of XGP include prostate abscess and haematospermia. Many concerns of XGP such as aetiology, epidemiology, natural history, risk of malignant transformation and possible treatment options remain unclear due to the paucity of the literature. Conclusions: XGP presents with a variety of benign and malignant clinical features. The possibility of encountering XGP in patients with clinically malignant prostates should not be overlooked.

Benign Osteoblastoma

The benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon bone tumor. It is a benign but actively growing neoplasm that must be differentiated from more aggressive bony lesions. A review of the literature indicates that 14% of benign osteoblastomas are located in the head. The clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features and treatment of the benign osteoblastoma are discussed. In addition, the third case of a benign osteoblastoma of the paranasal sinuses, and the first of the maxillary sinus, is described.

Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma

Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare and life-threatening complication of prostate carcinoma. Whether plasma exchange has a role in treatment remains a subject of debate. Here we present a case followed by a systematic review of the literature on this subject. Case report: We describe a 69-year old patient presenting with TMA, which was associated with an underlying metastatic prostate carcinoma. We conducted a search of similar cases in literature. Results: Our patient was treated and responded well on plasma exchange. Systematic review of the literature showed 17 additional cases of TMA associated with prostate carcinoma of which eleven were treated with plasma exchange with mostly good response. Conclusion: Based on current data we cannot exclude a potential role for plasma exchange in prostate cancer associated TMA.
