<p>Primary mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a very aggressive and rare disease with only about 0.5 % of malignant melanoma arising from the nasal cavity. There are only few reports from India. We report a rare case of sino-nasal mucosal malignant melanoma in a 58 years old female who presented with blackish coloured sino-nasal mass involving right nasal cavity, spontaneous and recurrent epistaxis and obliteration of the right naso-labial fold with occasional pain in the past 10 months. Contrast enhanced computed tomography scan showed a heterogenous mass involving right nasal cavity, right maxillary antrum and right ethmoidal area. A positron emission tomography computed tomography was also done which showed increased uptake in the region mentioned above. Initial biopsy, the mass was diagnosed as malignant melanoma. Total maxillectomy was performed with plan of post-operative radiotherapy.</p>

Primary Mucosal Malignant Melanoma

AbstractPrimary mucosal malignant melanoma (PMML) of the larynx continues to be a rare entity. To date, there are few cases reported in the world literature consisting of mainly isolated case reports and literature reviews.Traditionally believed to be radioresistant, we present a case of PMML of the right vocal fold managed with right cordectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient is well without any evidence of local recurrence or metastasis three years and four months from presentation.

Introduction. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare tumor that is benign in nature, usually asymptomatic, unilateral, and nonsecreting. It is composed of variable mixture of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements and develops within the adrenal gland. With the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography, the incidental detection of these tumors is increasing in frequency.Case Presentation. We report a case of adrenal myelolipoma in a 63-year-old Kashmiri male, who presented with pain in the right upper abdomen. Physical examination was unremarkable. Ultrasound abdomen showed the presence of a hyperechoic mass in the right suprarenal region with undefined margins. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan of abdomen revealed a well-defined, round lesion in the right suprarenal region with heterogeneous attenuation suggesting the possibility of myelolipoma. The patient was subjected to right adrenalectomy and his postoperative course was uneventful. The histopathological evaluation of the mass confirmed the initial diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma.Conclusion. Although mostly discovered as an “incidentaloma”, the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma warrants thorough diagnostic study. Imaging techniques such as ultrasonography and CT scans as well as biochemical studies are useful for indicating the best treatment taking into account the size of the mass and possible hormone production. Surgical resection is advocated through extraperitoneal approach as it minimizes postoperative complications and leads to quicker recovery.

Abstract Primary angiosarcoma is extremely rare malignant tumor that has no typical symptoms and progress rapidly with poor prognosis. It is mesenchymal in origin and observed most frequently in the right atrium, cases in the pericardium is much more rare. Only few can detected in the early-stage allowing complete radical resection with a mean survival of 3 months to 1 year. There is few pericardial angiosarcoma reported among these years. The present study reports a case of a 44-year-old woman with primary pericardial angiosarcoma, who underwent a wide range of imaging methods, including transthoracic echocardiography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI). The patient recovered well after operation in two years and died due to the recrudescence and pulmonary metastases in April, 2020. We report the case for its rarity and revealing the early detection of primary pericardial angiosarcoma with imaging examinations is critical for prognosis. Finally a literature review is done.

Paragangliomas can be found from the skull base to the sacrum. Sinonasal paragangliomas are infrequent. A 16-year-old female reported spontaneous discrete bilateral epistaxis once a month beginning when she was 3 years of age. Computed tomography showed an expansive hypervascular mass occupying the right nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Sinonasal paragangliomas usually occur in middle-aged women. Radiologic investigation is essential for the diagnosis of sinonasal paragangliomas and evaluating extension of the lesion. Endoscopic and conventional approaches are effective, and preoperative embolization is paramount for reducing bleeding risk. Histopathological features cannot differentiate benign from malignant paragangliomas, and since metastasis may eventually occur, follow-up must be carried out for a long period of time.
