Pleomorphic Sarcoma

Primary pleomorphic sarcoma of the left atrium is a rare tumor. There is no actual evidence of the management of this pathological entity, so the main treatment is individualized, surgical management being the cornerstone of the treatment. We present a 78-year-old female who had a clinical picture of heart failure, documenting an atrial mass of the left atrium, with high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma revealed in histopathology. The tumor was surgical removed, with no clinical evidence of residual mass. The tumor recurred again within 3 years, to which the patient succumbed.

Abstract Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare tumor of appendix it accounts for only 0.4% of the gastrointestinal tract malignancies and is reported rarely in literature. Therefore the surgical management is not yet established. Here we report a case of a 65 year old female who presented with a dragging sensation and a feeling of mass in right iliac fossa. Her computed tomography (CT) suggested an abscess formation of the parietal peritoneum. She was planned for laparotomy and upon exploration a mass was found arising from tip of retroperitoneal appendix. Whole of the appendix was studded with mucoid material. Limited right hemicolectomy was performed and histopathology of appendix showed mucinous cystadenoma with no evidence of malignant changes. Patient remained uneventful and was discharged on 4th post operative day. The unusual presentation of retroperitoneal pseudomyxoma without any intraperitoneal pathology, prompted us to report this case. Continuous...

Adolescents And Adults

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma constitutes less than 5 % of all sarcomas in adults and has been rarely seen in the breast and is dened as a group of pleomorphic, high-grade sarcomas in which any attempt to disclose their line of differentiation has failed . Most undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas(UPS) have occurred in their sixth and seventh decades of life and very rarely in adolescents and adults. We report a case of 24 year old female presented with painless lump in right breast and rapidly increasing in size for last 5 months. Iinitial diagnosis was made as sarcoma breast on the basis of physical and radiological examination. After that total mastectomy was done without axillary lymph node dissection, as lymphatic spread is very rare. But without histopathological examination and most importantly IHC-panel, it is impossible to make a denitive diagnosis of UPS breast.

Pleomorphic Sarcoma

Although several thousand patients are diagnosed with sarcoma annually in the United States, metastases to the heart are very uncommon. In this case report, an overall low frequency cancer presents masquerading with common cardiac symptomology. This case illustrates the importance for detailed diagnostic cardiac evaluations and heightened suspicion by physicians to consider metastatic disease to the heart in cancer patients with cardiovascular complications. Also discussed is a review of surgical and chemotherapeutic options for this problem.
