Urachal carcinoma is a very rare tumor, commonly found in the urachal remnant connecting the bladder dome to the umbilicus. Diagnosis is often challenging due to the location of the tumor and its late presentation. We hereby report the case of a 49-year-old female where the diagnosis of urachal carcinoma was made and a robotic partial cystectomy associated with en bloc resection of the umbilicus was performed. We aim to present the clinical aspects, presentation, and diagnosis of this rare entity along with a review of the literature.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: To report the clinical presentation and management of an intracranial frontoparietal malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) and its recurrence in a 6-year-old girl, along with a systematic review of the literature. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A previously healthy 6-year-old girl presented with severe signs of increased intracranial pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large heterogeneously enhancing mass at the right frontoparietal convexity. The tumor was completely removed, the histological diagnosis was MPNST, and the patient underwent adjuvant radio- and chemotherapy. Fifteen months later, MRI revealed a small local recurrence. After upfront chemotherapy, the recurrence was removed in a radical, ie, true oncological, neuronavigationally guided, en bloc resection, including approximately 1 cm surrounding gray and white matter and overlying dura mater. Neuropathological examination revealed tumor-free margins. The patient again received adjuvant chemotherapy. Four years after diagnosis and 20 months after cessation of adjuvant therapy, there are no signs of tumor recurrence. The literature search resulted in 17 cases of intracranial MPNSTs not associated with cranial nerves. Despite macroscopically complete resection in many cases and adjuvant radio- and chemotherapy, overall survival was poor, with only 5 patients still alive upon publication (including the current patient). CONCLUSION: Intracranial MPNSTs not associated with cranial nerves are extremely rare and highly malignant tumors with poor overall survival, probably because of infiltrating growth into surrounding brain tissue. We therefore advocate consideration of nonconventional true oncological en bloc resection when approaching this rare tumor or its recurrence.

History Of

Parathyromatosis is a rare entity and usually appears as a consequence of the seeding on previous parathyroid surgery which was applied for the secondary hyperparathyroidism. A 63-year-old woman presented with a history of subtotal thyroidectomy 20 years ago and parathyroidectomy due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) four years ago. Imaging methods revealed multiple parathyromatosis foci on subcutaneous tissue of the neck. En-bloc resection was performed and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of parathyromatosis. After an uneventful 10 months, biochemical and radiological tests revealed recurrence on bilateral thyroid lodges. En-bloc resection was performed. The patient has remained well for 24 months after the second operation and has been followed-up with normal parathormone and serum calcium values. To the best of our knowledge, this report describes the twenty-first case of parathyromatosis in PHPT setting in the literature. It should be kept in mind that parathyromatosis may recur at different sites in the neck even in patients with PHPT.

The Common

Due to a lack of early symptoms, pancreatic cancers of the body and tail are discovered mostly at advanced stages. These locally advanced cancers often involve the celiac axis or the common hepatic artery and are therefore declared unresectable. The extended distal pancreatectomy with en bloc resection of the celiac artery may offer a chance of complete resection. We present the case of a 48-year-old female with pancreatic body cancer invading the celiac axis. The patient underwent laparoscopy to exclude hepatic and peritoneal metastasis. Subsequently, a selective embolization of the common hepatic artery was performed to enlarge arterial flow to the hepatobiliary system and the stomach via the pancreatoduodenal arcades from the superior mesenteric artery. Fifteen days after embolization, the extended distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and en bloc resection of the celiac axis was carried out. The postoperative course was uneventful, and complete tumor resection was achieved. This case report and a review of the literature show the feasibility and safety of the extended distal pancreatectomy with en bloc resection of the celiac axis. A preoperative embolization of the celiac axis may avoid ischemia-related complications of the stomach or the liver.
