Pancreatic Metastases

Primary hepatic leiomyoma (PHL) is a rare entity, with very few cases reported in the literature. Even more rarely, until now practically undescribed, is the transformation of a hepatic leiomyoma into leiomyosarcoma with pancreatic metastases. Here, we report a single case of the progression of PHL in primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma, with clinical–surgical and histopathological features, and we conducted a review of the literature of related cases that can be found.

AbstractObjective:To report an extremely rare and interesting case of a woman who developed a laryngeal stone.Case report:A 44-year-old woman was referred to our ENT clinic complaining of dyspnoea and stridor. She had been treated for chest problems for approximately 30 years. On examination, she had a large, spiky, subglottic lesion compromising the airway. A laryngeal computed tomography scan and histopathological and biochemical examination showed the lesion to be a calcium phosphate stone. Review of the literature from the past 50 years, using several search engines, revealed no similar cases.Conclusion:To the author's knowledge, this is a unique case of a stone that developed in the subglottis. This rare entity was the cause of long-standing chest problems unresponsive to medical treatment. The patient recovered completely from all her symptoms after removal of the laryngolith.

Abstract Background Microcystic stromal tumor (MCST) of the ovary is an extremely rare subtype of sex cord-stromal neoplasm first described by Irving and Young in 2009. Tumors from all previously reported cases (fewer than 40 total) were benign, but one was a case of ovarian MCST that reoccurred. Case presentation Herein, we present a unique single case of ovarian MCST with omental metastasis in a 47-year-old Chinese female along with its histologic and immunohistochemical profile and genetic alterations. The tumor exhibited the previously described classic microscopic features and immunoprofiles of MCST. The tumorlet in the omentum presented the same histological structures and characteristically expressed β-catenin protein (localized in the nucleus). Molecular analysis identified a point mutation (c.98C > G) in exon 3 of CTNNB1. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, no such report has been documented for ovarian MCST with omental metastasis. The study may provide new insights into the tumor biology of MCST and provide a better understanding of this rare entity.

Penile ossification is an exceedingly rare condition, with only a handful of histologically confirmed cases reported in the literature.  The most common condition leading to penile ossification is Peyronie’s disease.  Other conditions such as gout, ERSD, diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism, and local trauma have also been associated with penile ossification.  We report a unique case of near-complete penile ossification of the corporal bodies with histologic confirmation on pathologic review.  Our report summarizes the literature regarding this rare entity.

We present a case of a healthy young female with axillary vein compression caused by the pectoralis minor muscle. Diagnosis was made by clinical findings and dynamic venography. After pectoralis minor tenotomy, the patient had total resolution of her symptoms. Compression of the axillary vein by the pectoralis minor is a rare entity that needs a careful exam and imaging to reach its diagnosis and establish the appropriate treatment.

Background: A lipoma is one of the commonest benign tumors in surgical practice. Lipomas are usually found on the trunk and limbs but less commonly within the abdomen, where they occur frequently in the mesentery as well as the subserosa and submucous layer of the gastrointestinal tract. Pre-peritoneal lipomas are rare. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old woman presented with a painless and progressive right-sided abdominal swelling of 5 months duration. Examination revealed a 16cm x 14cm slightly mobile and non-tender firm-to-hard hour-glass-shaped mass extending from the right hypochondrial to right iliac and the suprapubic regions. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a 5cm x 6cm bowel thickening in the right iliac fossa suggestive of an ileocecal mass while a computerized tomography showed a 20.8cm x 6.3cm x 20.1cm hypodense mass within the peritoneal cavity, extending from the epigastric region to the pelvis, anterior to the bowel loops and more to the right. At laparotomy, a huge, well encapsulated yellowish mass in the pre-peritoneal space, weighing 1,520g was excised. Histology confirmed a lipoma. Conclusion: A preperitoneal lipoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor and the giant ones are extremely rare. Although a rare cause of a painless abdominal swelling, pre-peritoneal lipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with an unremarkable feature suggestive of an intra-abdominal pathology.

Abstract Background Pilonidal sinus is commonly seen at the sacrococcygeal region and few other sites, usually located at the midline, at areas where hairs collect or near protuberances or some adjacent rubbing surfaces. Its presence elsewhere is uncommon. We share an interesting case of a recurrent discharging sinus from the cheek bulge of a male which turned out to be a pilonidal sinus containing tuft of hairs on exploration and wide excision. Case presentation A 37 years old hirsute male presents to us with a non-healing discharging sinus at the bulge of the cheek. Exploration after a course of antibiotics showed 2 subcutaneous cavities with tuft of hairs. The area was excised along with a margin, thorough irrigation and curettage was done and the wound was closed primarily; a Z-plasty was incorporated in the central part to break the resultant suture line. Histopathological examination was done to confirm the diagnosis and rule out an off-midline dermoid cyst or an underlying/coexisting malignancy. Post-operative course was uneventful. The patient has been recurrence free for 1.5 years and is satisfied with the nature of the scar. Conclusions Pilonidal sinus of the cheek bulge is an extremely rare entity. Complete excision and clinical suspicion are important for cure of this nagging ailment, especially at unexpected areas.

<p>Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare entity. Sometimes it may associate with mild diffuse or segmental coronary ectasia. CAF with giant coronary artery is exceptionally rare. We present a unique case of a 49-year-old female patient with a giant right coronary artery of diffuse ectasia coexisting with a fistula draining into the right ventricle. To our best knowledge, CAF with diffuse coronary ectasia of such giant size has never been reported. The patient was treated successfully by resection of the dilated right coronary artery, fistula closure, and coronary artery bypass grafting.</p>

Abstract Background Primary Seminal Vesicle (SV) tumours are a rare entity, with most SV masses representing invasion of the SV by malignancy originating in an adjacent organ, most often the prostate. Previously reported primary SV epithelial tumours have included adenocarcinoma and cystadenoma, with limited prior reports of inracystic papillary structures. Case presentation A 35-year-old male presented with azoospermia, intermittent macroscopic haematuria, and mild right iliac fossa and groin pain. A papillary appearing seminal vesicle mass was found on imaging and seminal vesicoscopy. The mass was robotically excised with diagnosis of benign cystic papillary adenoma made. Conclusion In this manuscript we describe a rare case of a benign cystic papillary adenoma of the seminal vesicle, a unique histological entity differentiated from cystadenoma of the Seminal Vesicle by its papillary component.
