Carcinosarcoma of monoclonal origin arising in a dermoid cyst of ovary: a case report

Keratin granulomas in the peritoneum are a rare finding with multiple etiologies and can be especially challenging for both the pathologist and the surgeon when these lesions are grossly visible. We report a case of a unique frozen section diagnostic scenario of evaluation of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum of a 47-year-old woman in the setting of multiple potential culprits: endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma following fertility sparing treatment, and a concurrent dermoid cyst. We discuss the various etiologies of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum, mechanism of their formation, diagnostic significance, as well as implications of fertility sparing treatments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum with multiple distinct potential pathologic culprits as well the only case following fertility sparing treatment.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Introduction: Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare, congenital and, benign lesions. The etiology of these lesions is related to an embryonic defect during neurulation. Case presentation: The present study describes a case of a 3-year-old girl with a giant cerebellar dermoid cyst, which initially manifested as hydrocephalus. Discussion: We discuss its epidemiological characteristics as well as diagnostic and therapeutic management. The combination of high clinical suspicion, anamnesis, thorough physical examination, and adequate interpretation of neuroimaging data is crucial for the early diagnosis and timely therapeutic intervention for such cysts. Conclusion: Surgical approach involving complete lesion resection considerably improves prognosis.

Abstract Aim “For pre operative optimization and educational purposes, rare possibilities should be included in the differential diagnosis”” Material and Methods “CASE REPORT. Inguinal hernia is one of the common operations done by surgeons, often diagnosed clinically. Here we present a case of 29 year old male patient presented with inguinal swelling for 3 years. He was admitted for the surgical ward as a case of incarcerated inguinal hernia for elective repair under GA. Intra op the mass was not consistent with inguinal hernia, two other possibilities were a concern that can cause the swelling; 1) testes, which was excluded by examining the scrotum, 2) Dermoid/Epidermoid cyst which was checked by the mass content of hair and pasty fluid” Results “DERMOID CYST” Conclusions “Most surgeons depend on clinical picture in diagnosing inguinal hernia, thus even other rare possibilities should be included in the differential diagnosis. Unusual presentations of inguinal hernia should be having radiological evaluated.”
