Abstract Glomus tumors are exceedingly rare tumors arising from the normal glomus body. Only a very few cases located in the small intestine were reported to date. Here, we present a case of glomus tumor of the jejunum in a 30-year-old female patient, and discuss its clinical, imaging, and pathologic features.

Abstract BackgroundGlomus tumors are exceedingly rare tumors arising from the normal glomus body. Only a very few cases of glomus tumors located in the small intestine were reported to date. Here, we present a case of glomus tumor of the jejunum in a 30-year-old female patient, and discuss its clinical, imaging, and pathologic features.Case presentationA 30-year-old female referred to our hospital with the chief complain of melena and fatigue for 3 weeks. Oral single-balloon enteroscopy discovered a 2.0*2.0cm tumor without epithelial lining in the jejunum. The patient then underwent partial enterectomy. HE stain illustrated that the tumor was interspersed with congestive capillaries of various size, and admixed with smooth muscle bundles. Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were strongly positive for SMA and collagen type Ⅳ. The Ki-67 proliferation index was less than 1% and mitotic activity is very low (about 1/50 HPF). The case was finally diagnosed as benign glomus tumor.ConclusionsGlomus tumors arising from the small intestine are extremely rare. The final diagnosis is made by histological and immunohistochemical examination. Although there is no standardized management pathway for these patients, early diagnosis and treatment are important for a good prognosis.

Glomus Body

Glomangioma or glomus tumors are rare neoplasms of the glomus body, which are located in the stratum reticularis of the dermis throughout the body. With a female preponderance, 75% of them occur in the subungual region and present with non-specific pain as the main complaint. Extradigital glomus tumours are rare and present a diagnostic challenge, seen most commonly in males. We present a case of a 47-year-old male who presented with a painful swelling in the forearm. MRI showed a hypodense lesion in the subcutaneous plane. After a wide local excision, histopathology revealed sheets of round cells with intervening vascular channels, characteristic of a glomus tumor.

Abstract Background Glomus tumors are subcutaneous tumors arising from glomus bodies, thermoregulatory components of the skin. These tumors could occur in visceral organs where glomus bodies are not normally present. Herein, we report a case of primary pancreatic glomus tumor with aggressive direct invasion into the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case report of a glomus tumor arising in the pancreas. Case presentation A 46-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to vomiting with epigastric and back pain. Dynamic-CT revealed a well-circumscribed hypervascular mass, measuring 37 mm in its maximal diameter involving the pancreatic head. Both CT and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed direct invasion into the SMV and radiologically suspected tumor thrombus. Biopsy sample obtained by EUS-guided fine needle aspiration revealed proliferation of small cells, round-to-oval tumor cells with round nuclei and scant cytoplasm. A histological diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, G1 was initially considered. Therefore, subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy using Child-II reconstruction was subsequently performed. Her SMV was resected and reconstructed due to extensive tumor involvement. Subsequent histopathological analysis revealed solid tumor cells proliferation that comprised oval-shaped nuclei and scant cytoplasm around disorganized or slit-shaped vessels in hematoxylin–eosin-stained slides. Immunohistochemical analysis then demonstrated positive immunoreactivity for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and CD34, but negative for chromogranin A, synaptophysin, CD56, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6. Based on these histological findings of resected specimens, the lesion was subsequently diagnosed as a primary pancreatic glomus tumor harboring direct invasion into the SMV. Her postoperative course was uneventful and annual surveys for the following 4 years post-op detected no clinical signs of recurrence. Conclusions We report a very rare case of glomus tumor of the pancreas accompanied by venous invasion. Curative surgical resection is the best treatment option for pancreatic glomus tumors. Although pancreatic glomus tumor is rare, it should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of a pancreatic solid tumor with hypervascularity.

Case Presentation

Abstract Background: Subhepatic appendicitis is an exceedingly rare presentation accounting for 0.01% of Acute appendicitis. It is of prime importance to be aware of various variants and thereby managing such challenging cases accordingly.Case presentation: We present a middle-aged female patient with subhepatic perforated appendicitis and peritonitis who underwent an exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy.Conclusions: Surgical management of such patients is challenging due to an atypical presentation. The surgical management of such patients is discussed with a brief review of literature.

Glomus Body

A glomus tumor is an uncommon, predominantly benign, neoplastic lesion that primarily involves a thermoregulatory microvascular apparatus, the glomus body. Although these lesions can occur anywhere in the body, the subungual tissue of the hand represents the most common presentation site. Glomus tumors are not often encountered in the foot. Symptoms traditionally include the classic triad of pain, pressure, and cold sensitivity. This case report describes a variant location for a glomus tumor in the subcuticular tissue adjacent to the medial middle phalanx of the second toe. The nonsubungual location for this presentation should prompt the inclusion of glomus tumor in a digital soft-tissue lesion differential diagnosis. The lesion was excised surgically and was subsequently diagnosed histopathologically as a glomus tumor.

Adrenal sarcomatoid carcinomas are extremely rare tumors presenting with extensive locoregional spread at the time of diagnosis. Patients succumb to metastases within a couple of months. As a result, very few cases are reported in the literature until now. We present a case of a 62-year old female with non-functional sarcomatoid carcinoma of the right adrenal gland. There was no radiological evidence of locoregional metastases. Patient underwent right adrenalectomy. Follow up after 3 months showed para-aortic lymphadenopathy and similar left adrenal mass on computed tomography. Patient refused further treatment and succumbed to the disease. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.
