Paratesticularleiomyosarcomas are rare neoplasms. Radical orchidectomy and high ligation of cordfollowed by surveillance is the treatment of choice. Here we report a 73-year-old man who presentedwith a 2-year history of painless lump in the left hemiscrotum. A left radical orchiectomy with highligation of the spermatic cord was performed. The histo-pathological and immunohistochemistryevaluation revealed a moderately differentiated leiomyosarcoma of paratesticular region. Thepatient is still alive with no evidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis after seven years offollow-up._______________________________________________________________________________________Keywords: leiomyosarcoma; spermatic cord; paratesticular; surgical procedures.

AbstractEpithelioid sarcoma is an aggressive, malignant tumour of the soft tissue which tends to arise in proximity to large tendons and aponeuroses. We report the case of a patient presenting with an epithelioid sarcoma arising in the neck. A 56-year-old man was referred with a three-year history of a sensory disorder as well as a slowly growing mass in his right neck. The patient underwent resection of the tumour by means of a conservative neck dissection. The final diagnosis, based on the histological and immunohistochemical findings, was epithelioid sarcoma. Radiotherapy was performed after the operation. The post-operative course was uneventful, and there was no local recurrence or distant metastasis.

ABSTRACT Background Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. However, it can potentially be associated with several complications. One of the very rare complications post-tonsillectomy in adults is subcutaneous emphysema, as in our case here. Although, most reported cases are resolved spontaneously, it may lead to fatal complications, like tension pneumothorax. Case report Tonsillectomy was performed on an adult patient with history of frequent tonsillitis. The patient developed facial subcutaneous emphysema 48 hours after the surgery (evident by clinical and radiological examination) that resolved within 2 days without further complications. Conclusion Tonsil should be removed along with tonsilar capsule. If tonsillectomy causes deeper than usual mucosal tear up to the level of the muscles, then air might pass into the subcutaneous tissue through the tonsillar fossa and superior constrictor muscle into fascial layers of neck. Emphysema can then spread to parapharyngeal, retropharyngeal spaces and mediastinum with its related morbidity. Though a rare complication, all otorhinolaryngologists must be aware of this complication and its management. How to cite this article Abraham SS, Stephen V, Deve L, Kurien M.

Function preserving management of a dominant thumb metacarpal chondrosarcoma is reported, with a literature review for this uncommon neoplasm. Wide local excision of the metacarpal followed by temporary silicone block interposition and definitive iliac crest bone grafting was performed. A persistent wound defect was managed by a radial artery forearm flap. The functional result was acceptable. In the literature, there were seven cases of thumb metacarpal chondrosarcoma reported; two were treated by ray amputation, and the other five were treated by excision of the metacarpal. Three of those five had bone graft and the other two had simple resection. Of these seven cases, three had local recurrence and one a distant metastasis.

A seven-month-old, intact female Jack Russell terrier was presented with a history of recurrent hemorrhage originating in the oral cavity. The puppy had a severe anemia and a lingual hemangioma. Several blood transfusions and two separate surgical procedures were necessary to control the problem. The first surgery was a resection of almost 50% of the tongue lengthwise. A similar intervention was performed two months later. A literary review of lingual tumors in animals and in humans is presented.

Malignant paratesticular tumours are uncommon. Of these, liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumour type with good prognosis, found above all in the elderly. Most have a low level of malignancy and relapses tend to be localised. Choice treatment is radical orchiectomy and patients should be followed closely since local recurrence is not uncommon. This study briefly reviews the literature on spermatic cord liposarcoma and reports an additional case that was treated for a relapse by radical. orchiectomy.

Angiosarcoma is a rare vascular malignant soft tissue tumor, with highly malignant, invasive, and multifocal characteristics of biology, which is prone to local recurrence and distant metastasis, so the prognosis is extremely poor. It rarely involves the diaphragm. We present the case of an adult patient who had a primary giant angiosarcoma of the left-sided diaphragm.

Abstract Background Isolated genital elephantiasis outside filariasis endemic tropical and subtropical regions is rare and presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Serologic and radiographic investigation must be undertaken to exclude reversible causes of genital elephantiasis. Case presentation Authors report herein the case of a 58-year-old patient with chronic penile and scrotal elephantiasis. He had a history of untreated urethritis and an endoscopic urethrotomy for urethra stricture three years ago. Serological test for chlamydiosis was positive. Retrograde urethrocystography demonstrated a bulbar urethra stricture. The patient spectacularly and completely improved after endoscopic urethrotomy and long-term doxycycline. Conclusions Early treatment of sexual transmitted infections such as chlamydiosis is important to prevent the evolution of penoscrotal elephantiasis and to avoid surgical procedures.

Cecal Cancer

Metastatic spermatic cord (SC) tumor is extremely rare. Recently, we experienced a case of late-onset metastatic SC tumor from cecal cancer. This case is a 68-year-old man presenting with a painless right SC mass. He had undergone a right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer 6 years ago. Radical orchiectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 were performed. No recurrence was found after one year of follow-up. We identified a total of 25 cases, including our case, on a literature search via PubMed from January 2000 to April 2015. The most frequent primary sites of the tumors metastasizing to the SC were the stomach (8 cases, 32%) and the colon (8 cases, 32%), next the liver (2 cases, 8%), and kidney (2 cases, 8%). The majority of the cases underwent radical orchiectomy for the metastatic tumors of the SC. Over half of the cases received adjuvant interventions based on the regimens for the primary tumors. Prognosis in the patients with metastatic tumor of the SC was unfavorable except for late-onset metastasis. In patients with a mass in the SC and a history of neoplasm, especially in gastrointestinal tract, the possibility of metastasis from the primary cancer should be considered.

Purpose.To illustrate the propensity of meningeal hemangiopericytoma to spread extraneurally, as a distinction to the ordinary meningioma.Patients or subjects.A patient with long history of meningeal hemangiopericytoma was reported.Methods.A case report on meningeal hemangiopericytoma with a literature review was presented.Results.The patient has multiple local recurrence as well as distant metastases.This is the first case report of metastatic meningeal hemangiopericytoma causing compression of the pancreatic head.The patient also has biopsy-proven pulmonary metastases.The patient received both local and systemic therapy.Discussion.It is important to recognize the distinctive features differentiating meningeal hemangiopericytoma from meningioma. The positive impact of clinico-pathological correlation on patient management is emphasized.
