Rare Case Report

This report presents a case of a neck epithelioid sarcoma in a 20-year-old man with poor prognosis. The patient underwent surgery followed by external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy performed as a boost. The treatment was well-tolerated, and there was no local recurrence or distant metastasis.

Purpose:The aim of this study was to assess treatment and outcome with respect to clinical and pathological features.Patients and methods:Thirty-nine patients were identified (range 7–66 years, mean 23). Initial treatment comprised local excision in 11 patients and wide excision in 14. Post-operative external beam radiotherapy was prescribed in 22 patients with a total dose of 60 Gy, delivered in two phases.Results:The cause-specific survival for the entire group was 79, 63, 56 and 45% at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years, respectively. A distal limb location was associated with a better prognosis than proximal limb location (P= 0.04).Conclusions:Our data favour treatment with wide functional excision followed by radical dose radiotherapy in attempt to minimize risk of local recurrence, especially when primary tumours are bigger than 3 cm. Our data also suggest the same treatment for local recurrence, when technically possible, to avoid amputation.

Marantic Endocarditis

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has overwhelmed healthcare globally with millions of cases and over 2 million deaths worldwide. The hypercoagulable state associated with COVID-19 is a well-recognized complication that carries a poor prognosis. Marantic endocarditis, or non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE), is caused by a sterile vegetation on the cardiac valves resulting from the deposition of fibrin and platelet aggregates. It is highly associated with the hypercoagulable and acquired inflammatory states. Herein, we report a unique and rare case of COVID-19 presenting with NBTE.

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.

<p>Follicular thyroid carcinoma is the second most common thyroid carcinoma and causes distant metastasis more frequently than any other types. Choroidal metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported since 1979. We present the case of a 60 years old woman developing choroidal metastasis with associated local (lymph nodes) and distant (lungs) metastasis after nine years of diagnosis as primary follicular carcinoma.</p><p>Bangladesh J.

Rare Malignancy

Primary prostate sarcoma is a rare malignancy of the prostate with poor prognosis. It accounts for <1% of the tumors of the prostate. Leiomyosarcoma is the most common sarcoma involving the prostate in adults affecting men between the ages of 40 and 78 years. Tumor cells commonly express vimentin, smooth muscle actin and desmin, and up to 25% express cytokeratins.
