Müllerian Agenesis

Mullerian agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly characterized as aplasia or hypoplasia of uterus in women with normal development of secondary sex characteristics. Presence of leiomyoma in mullerian agenesis is very rare and only few cases have been reported in the literature.  Ultrasound and MRI showed a large soft tissue mass in right adnexal region. A provisional diagnosis of mullerian agenesis associated with two pelvic masses was made. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma.

AbstractThe aim of this report is to describe an unusual localization of nerve sheath tumour (NST), clinical presentation, imaging, surgical management, and outcome in a 2-year-old dog. A 2-year-old female American Staffordshire Terrier presented with nonambulatory paraparesis, thoracolumbar hyperaesthesia, hindlimb hyperreflexia, and mild muscle atrophy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extradural mass at T7-T8, without vertebral lesions. Surgical treatment consisted in resection of the soft tissue mass through dorsal laminectomy. The dog was ambulatory within 24 hours and free of recurrence at 18 months postoperatively. Histopathologic and features of immunohistochemistry were consistent with NST. The NST of this report was similar to those described before, but exhibited unusual characteristics, such as being extradural, without extension into intervertebral foramina, and being located in an atypical region (T7-T8). Moreover, survival time and relapse-free interval are greater than previously reported for similar cases.

Primary muscle hydatidosis is very rare. Rupture and spreading of the cyst contents by improper handling may later cause secondary cyst or allergic reactions. Pre-operative recognition of a hydatid cyst is therefore critical. It often presents as a soft-tissue mass, however, and pre-operative recognition of this rare entity is clearly difficult. Here, a case of primary hydatidosis affecting the gracilis muscle is presented, and the magnetic resonance imaging, clinical and pathological findings are described.

Per Se

Vulval malignancies per se are very rare and a liposarcoma in this location is rarer still. The literature consists only of case reports of patients, often with a very limited follow up. We present a rare case of a young 30 year old unmarried nulliparous woman presenting with a giant vulval mass of 30×20 cm and weighing nearly 6 kilograms. Ultrasonography, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and biopsy were done. Local resection with adjuvant radiotherapy was given. Histopathology was suggestive of myxoid liposarcoma and the patient is presently recurrence free with over 8 years of follow up. Though rare, myxoid liposarcoma should be kept in differential diagnosis of vulval soft tissue mass. Management includes a combination of surgery and radiation. Excision of lymph nodes is not recommended. Strict prolonged follow up for recurrence or metastasis is mandatory, and any new complaints should be addressed promptly. This is particularly true in the setting of liposarcoma, which may exhibit unusual patterns of spread and recurrence.

Angioleiomyoma is a benign pericytic neoplasm with smooth muscle differentiation. Intra-articular angioleiomyoma is exceptionally rare with only four cases reported, all involving the knee joint. Here we report the first case of intra-articular angioleiomyoma entirely localized within the ankle joint. An 83-year-old male presented with progressively worsening ankle pain. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging showed a soft tissue mass within the talocrural joint. Histologic examination and ancillary testing demonstrated fascicles of smooth muscle cells and interspersed, often compressed, vascular channels, consistent with an angioleiomyoma. This case highlights the importance of including angioleiomyoma in the differential diagnosis of an ankle joint mass.

Background & Method: Study was conducted at Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences, Medchal, Telangana number of cases studied 30. All clinically suspected female patients with pelvic masses referred to the Department of Radio-diagnosis were evaluated. These patients were first subjected to Ultrasonography followed by MRI (plain and contrast where ever required). MRI findings were compared with that of Ultrasonography. These findings were compared with that of operative findings and histopathological findings wherever performed. Result: Majority of uterocervical lesions on MRI were malignant in nature. One case of endometrial polyp in usg, diagnosed as stage Ib endometrial carcinoma, and cervical fibroid was diagnosed as cervical carcinoma stage II, on MRI 2cases of cervical and 2 cases of endometrial carcinoma. Conclusion: In practice USG is the primary modality for diagnosing the pelvic mass. MRI is superior to ultrasound and can be used as problem solving tool in the assessment of pelvic mass. The multiplanar imaging capability allows accurate identification of origin of mass, characterization of mass(solid, haemorrhagic, fatty and fibrous contents).This may obviate surgery or significantly contribute to the preoperative planning of pelvic  mass Keywords: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, pelvic & female.

Pigmented Villonodular

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare, benign, proliferating disease affecting the synovium of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths. Involvement of bursa (PVNB, pigmented villonodular bursitis) is the least common, and only few cases of exclusively extra-articular PVNB of the pes anserinus bursa have been reported so far. We report a case of extra-articular pes anserine PVNB along with a review of the literature. The lesion presented as a painful soft tissue mass in the medial part of the proximal leg. A magnetic resonance imaging showed areas of low to intermediate signals in all sequences and the lesion enhanced heterogeneously with contrast. Diagnosis was confirmed by an incisional biopsy, and an intralesional resection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient is free of disease with no functional deficit at 2 years followup. As with other rare lesions, clinical and radiographic findings in addition to histological examination are essential for correct diagnosis.

Multiple Schwannomas

This case study presents a 72-year-old male patient who presented with multiple schwannomas. The patient underwent several soft-tissue mass excisions performed by general surgery and podiatry. The physical examination displayed multiple nodules on the left foot, ankle, and previously in the groin. Magnetic resonance imaging displayed high–T2-weighted signal masses in the left plantar heel and ankle. These masses were excised and, through pathologic analysis, were diagnosed as schwannomas. Immunohistochemistry displayed a mosaic pattern of INI1 expression, a gene associated with tumor suppression. The patient demonstrated findings consistent with multiple schwannomas (eg, schwannomatosis or neurofibromatosis type 2). Because of the patient's medical history, neurofibromatosis type 2 was more probable.

Femoris Muscle

Quadriceps muscle strains are common sporting injuries, but occasionally a tear of the rectus femoris muscle can appear as a soft tissue mass of the anterior thigh with or without a significant history of trauma. Between 1992 and 1996, seven patients were referred to the Orthopaedic Oncology Unit at Walter Reed Army Medical Center with an unexplained soft tissue mass of the thigh. Three were active duty soldiers, three were military dependents, and one was a retired serviceman. All patients were men, and the mean age was 32 years (range, 15 to 73). A palpable, mildly tender mass was confirmed on clinical examination. Laboratory studies and plain radiographs were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an obvious, but often ill-defined, lesion at the musculotendinous junction of the rectus femoris muscle. Four patients subsequently underwent a tissue biopsy to rule out a soft tissue sarcoma. Histologic studies showed fibrosis, degeneration of muscle fibers, and chronic inflammatory cells with no evidence of malignancy. A chronic rectus femoris muscle tear can mimic a soft tissue tumor or sarcoma and needs to be excluded in the differential diagnosis. These tears may occur acutely or may represent an overuse injury caused by repeated micro-trauma. Careful history taking, physical examination, and selective radiographic studies, specifically magnetic resonance imaging, can confirm the diagnosis of muscle tear and full functional recovery can be anticipated.
