Transitional Cell Tumors

Brenner tumors are rare ovarian tumors, which are a subgroup of transitional cell tumors of ovary. Most of these tumors are benign presenting as incidental unilateral masses in postmenopausal age group. Only 5-7% cases are bilateral. These tumors are mostly small, solid and asymptomatic, seen commonly in association with mucinous cystadenomas of ovary. In such cases they may attain a massive size. Specific diagnosis of Brenner tumor is difficult using imaging studies and can be definitely diagnosed only on pathological examination. Surgical removal is usually curative for benign tumors. We present a rare case of bilateral Brenner tumor of ovary with associated unilateral mucinous cystadenoma in which bilateral Brenner tumor was a rare incidental finding on pathological examinatio

Brenner tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms composed of ovarian transition cells surrounded by dense fibrous tissue. Most of them are small tumors (<2 cm), detected incidentally in asymptomatic women. Its predominantly fibrous content results in relatively low signal on T2 weighted images, establishing differential diagnosis with ovarian fibroma and thecoma. Their imaging features are very similar, the differentiation is based on secondary characteristics, such as signs or symptoms of estrogen excess and the presence of a second ovarian neoplasm, which has been reported in up to 30% of patients with Brenner tumor. Although originally thought to be universally benign, there have been scattered reports in the past decades of borderline and malignant forms of Brenner tumors.

Laparoscopic Cystectomy

Mucinous cystadenoma arises from the totipotent surface epithelium of the ovary. Its association with Brenner tumor suggests its origin as mucinous metaplasia of the epithelioid cells. The chance of malignancy is 5–10 percent. Patients usually present with abruptly increasing abdominal mass. Cystectomy is the management of choice in these cases. It was managed by laparoscopy.

Brenner Tumors

Ovarian Brenner tumors, accounting for ∼5% of overall ovarian epithelial neoplasm, are often reported in association with mucinous neoplasm. Histogenetically, the two tumors are thought to arise from similar precursors. To date, fewer than 60 borderline Brenner tumors alone have been reported, and the concomitant presence of atypical proliferative components in Brenner and mucinous tumors is even rarer. Therefore, the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with the borderline Brenner tumors alone or coexisting with mucinous neoplasm are extremely limited. Herein, we report a unique case of a 53-year-old woman with a unilateral ovarian borderline Brenner tumor associated with focal atypical mucinous epithelial proliferation and her clinical presentations. The clinicopathological features of the tumor are documented and the literature review along with the clinical molecular advances are summarized in this study.

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas (PRMCs) are observed more frequently in women with no specific symptoms. A 35 Years old female patient presented with Intermittent abdominal pain in her left flank associated with fullness in abdomen. CECT confirmed a well-defined smoothly marginated homogenous non-enhancing unilocular cystic lesion in retroperitoneum in left lumbar region, separated from the pancreas, left kidney and ovary. On Laprotomy, the retroperitoneal tumor was completely removed, without spillage of its contents.

Mucinous Cystadenomas

Pancreatic mucinous cystadenomas (MCAs) are considered to be benign tumors with a high risk of malignant progression. The pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma is considered to be a rare condition that may lead to pancreatic cancer when not surgically resected. MCAs represent 9.7% of all neoplastic pancreatic cysts. The male:female ratio of MCAs is 1:10. The condition appears mostly in women, mean age in the 5th decade. The cyst is restricted by a fibrous capsule of variable consistency and has usually no communication with the pancreatic ductal system. The MCAs are located mostly in the body or tail of the pancreas. The MCAs located in the head of the pancreas are more likely to be malignant. Complete surgical resection is the recommended therapeutic option. We present a case of a 59-year-old female patient admitted in the Departemt of Surgery and Liver Transplatation of Fundeni Clinical Institute for recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. After a thorough investigation was performed, the CT-examination showed a pancreatic mass, located in the tail, measuring 30/40mm. Because the CT aspect was specific for a cystic-like lesion, surgery was recommended. The patient underwent a laparoscopic caudal splenopancreatectomy with a favorable postoperative evolution. The particularity of the case comes from the patient’s clinical presentation, with recurrent acute pancreatitis and the imagistic aspect (ultrasound and CT) that initially suggested a pseudocystic-like lesion, but the elevated CA 15-3 and further elaborated examinations indicated a possible malignant lesion.

Mucinous Cystadenomas

Epithelial ovarian tumours are rare in the adolescent age group, accounting for less than 15% of overall ovarian malignancy. Of this, one-fourth of them are mucinous in nature. Mucinous cystadenomas, being precursors of borderline and invasive ovarian tumours, can reach to size as large as 15-30 cm in diameter without having malignant potential. Also, intraoperative management of such large abdominal mass can be challenging. We present a case of a giant unilateral 12 kg mucinous cystadenoma in a 13-year-old young girl, that grew over a period of 1 year. She underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy after decompression of the mass without any complications.

Histologically distinct tumors that coexist in an organ without any histological admixture at their interface are denominated collision tumors. We report 3 cases of colliding mature cystic teratoma with mucinous cystadenoma and a case of mature cystic teratoma colliding with benign Brenner tumor in the ovary. We also provide a literature review based on 35 previously published ovarian collision cases. Ovarian tumors from all classes, benign, borderline and malignant lesions may collide. Both our case series and the literature review indicate that ovarian tumor collisions tend to be clinically and ultrasonographically/radiologically unrecognized. The awareness among surgeons, radiologists and pathologists of this rare phenomenon and histological recognition are crucial in order to offer adequate treatment to patients. There is a need to identify novel and more specific imaging clues pointing towards collision tumors in the ovary.

Abstract Background: Pancreatic lymphangioma (PL) is a rare benign neoplasm arising from the lymphatic system. The imaging features of PLs are valuable but not pathognomonic, distinguishing PLs from other pancreatic cystic lesions is still a great challenge.Case presentation: In our study, we present a 62-year-old woman with PL showing tumor in the distal pancreas, which was misdiagnosed as mucinous cystadenoma preoperatively. Laparoscopic cystectomy was performed after onsite assessments intraoperatively and the recovery was uneventful. Conclusions: PLs should be included in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasms and a minimally invasive way for PL treatments is also of great importance. This case will be a good complement for the whole PL cohort.
