Rare Lesion

Adenolipoleiomyoma is a very rare lesion of the uterus. Only four cases were reported. We describe one case of adenolipoleiomyoma presenting as a polyp in a postmenopausal woman with menorrhagia. Adenolipoleiomyoma is a very rare lesion and the histogenesis remains unclear. We discuss the origin and the differential diagnosis of this lesion.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

AbstractWe report a case of a chronic mesotympanic otitis media with a smelly purulent secretion from both ears and recurrent otalgia over the last five years in a six-year-old girl after swimming in the German Baltic Sea. Besides Staphylococcus aureus a non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strain could be isolated from patient samples. An antibiotic therapy with ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone was administered followed by atticotomy combined with tympanoplasty. We conclude that V. cholerae should not be overlooked as a differential diagnosis to otitis infections, especially when patients present with extra-intestinal infections after contact with brackish- or saltwater aquatic environments.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) with satellitosis is a rare phenomenon that typically occurs in children and teenagers. It can be seen after excision or trauma to the original lesion. Objective: The aim is to review an atypical case of PG with satellitosis and to highlight a conservative approach to management. Methods: This article includes a case report of a 48-year-old woman developing PG with satellitosis in her right foot and includes a review of the literature. Results: There are few cases of PG with satellitosis in the literature. Our patient differs from most given her age and the location of the lesions. She was managed differently with a conservative observational approach, and, over time, her symptoms abated. Conclusion: PG with satellitosis can occur in varying patient populations with varying presentations. Although several treatment options exist, managing patients conservatively should be considered an approach to management. Early investigations should be conducted to rule out more sinister items in the differential diagnosis.

Worse Prognosis

Gastroblastoma (GB) is a rare gastric epithelial-mesenchymal neoplasm, first described by Miettinen et al. So far, all reported cases described the tumor in children or young adults, and similarities with other childhood blastomas have been postulated. We report a case of GB in a 43-year-old patient with long follow up and no recurrence up to 100 months after surgery. So far, this is the second case of GB occurring in the adult age >40-year-old. Hence, GB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of microscopically comparable conditions in adults carrying a worse prognosis and different clinical approach.

We report the case of a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman whopresented with incidental left hydronephrosis during an investigationfor a gastrointestinal complaint. The patient denied any historyof flank pain or hematuria. Contrast-enhanced computedtomography revealed severe right-sided ureterohydronephrosis aswell as renal atrophy. The contralateral kidney was normal, as wasthe patient’s overall renal function. A retrograde ureterogramdemonstrated complete ureteral obstruction 4 cm proximal to theureterovesical junction. Subsequent ureteroscopy revealed a polypoidmass completely occupying the ureteral lumen, of which thebiopsies demonstrated inconclusive atypical urothelial changes.The patient underwent a laparoscopic nephrectomy with opendissection of the distal ureter. The patient recovered well postoperatively.Final pathology revealed a benign obstructingendometrioma without evidence of invasion from periureteraltissue. This appears to be the first reported case of asymptomaticprimary ureteral endometrioma with secondary renal atrophy.Earlier investigation and treatment may have allowed for renalpreservation earlier in the course of the disease.Nous décrivons le cas d’une femme ménopausée de 56 ans présentantune hydronéphrose gauche découverte de façon fortuite aucours d’un examen mené pour donner suite à des symptômes gastro-intestinaux. La patiente n’avait pas d’antécédents de douleurau flanc ou d’hématurie. Une TDM avec agent de contraste arévélé une urétéro-hydronéphrose droite importante accompagnéed’une atrophie rénale. Le rein controlatéral et la fonction rénaleglobale de la patiente ne présentaient aucune anomalie. Uneurétérographie par voie rétrograde a permis d’observer une obstructioncomplète de l’uretère proximale à 4 cm de la jonction urétérovésicale.Une urétéroscopie subséquente a révélé une masse polypoïdeoccupant la totalité de la lumière urétérale et des analysesaprès biopsie ont montré des changements atypiques non concluantsau niveau de l’épithélium urinaire. La patiente a subi unenéphrectomie par laparoscopie avec dissection ouverte de l’uretèredistale. La patiente s’est bien rétablie après l’intervention. Lerapport final de pathologie a révélé un endométriome obstructifbénin sans signe d’invasion des tissus péri-urétéraux. Il sembleque ce soit ici le premier cas signalé d’endométriome urétéralprimitif asymptomatique avec atrophie rénale secondaire. Un examenet un traitement réalisés plus tôt dans le cours de l’évolutionde la maladie auraient pu permettre la préservation du rein.

ABSTRACT Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults, occurring in 15 to 20% of all patients with sarcoma. Primary liposarcoma of the stomach is rare. We report a case of patient with giant gastric liposarcoma who underwent surgery after a gastrointestinal bleeding. Preoperative hystopathological diagnosis was not established, even after three biopsy attempts. We discuss differential diagnosis, genetic causes, diagnosis strategies and treatment.

The aim of this paper is to stay a very rare umbilico-inguinal fistula (UIF) resulting from a delayed suture reaction after the use of silk suture to repair an inguinal hernia. A 3-year-old boy presented with persistent umbilical discharge. The initial diagnosis was omphalitis and he was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics but a UIF was subsequently diagnosed. Surgery was performed to ascertain the cause of the UIF. This case demonstrates that silk suture used in inguinal hernia repair can lead to a UIF, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with persistent umbilical discharge.
