Round Blue Cell Tumor

Ewing sarcoma/Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (ES/PNET) is a malignant small round blue cell tumor of neuroectodermal origin that affects bones and soft tissue in children and young adults. ES/PNET is very uncommon in parenchymal organs. We report a case of primary adrenal PNET in a young female having pregnancy induced persistent hypertension. She underwent right adrenalectomy for a large adrenal mass. On histopathology, it was typical malignant round cell tumor (MRCT). Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of ES/PNET with expression of CD99, FLI-1 and NKX2.2. Until now, only 38 cases of primary adrenal ES/PNET have been reported in the English literature with just 5 cases from India. Adrenal ES/PNET can be mistaken with other MRCTs like Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and neuroblastoma. Since the biology, treatment and prognosis of these tumors is entirely different, we emphasize that pathologists must be aware of this possibility and try to differentiate them using ancillary techniques.

Leg Edema

Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy worldwide in women and the third most common cause of cancer death in developing countries. This type of cancer spreads mainly to the lung, the bone, and the brain; however, the pericardium is an unusual site of invasion, which is associated with a poor prognosis. We present a case of a 35-year-old woman with six months of leg edema and abnormal uterine bleeding. During the initial evaluation, cardiac tamponade and a bilateral pleural effusion were found. A left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy was identified on physical examination, while gynecological examination and MRI were irrelevant. Initial cytology of the pericardial fluid showed a poorly differentiated carcinoma, and a cervical biopsy revealed a squamous cell invasive carcinoma. Chemotherapy was started with carboplatin and paclitaxel, but no clinical improvement was noted and the patient died 46 days after arrival. Cardiac tamponade in a young female patient is a harbinger to widen the differential diagnosis to include not only infectious, cardiac, or metabolic etiology but also oncological causes since this will allow appropriate treatment.

Indian Scenario

Extra-gonadal teratomas are rare and occur at various sites with the retroperitoneum being an unusual site. We report a case of an adenocarcinoma arising in a mature retroperitoneal teratoma with bilateral lung metastasis in a young female. Around less than 20 such cases have been reported in literature with the present case being probably second in the Indian scenario and the first to have adenocarcinomatous component matastasize to lungs. We hereby emphasize on the importance of looking for such suspicious areas in a teratoma in order to tailor subsequent management.

The first reported case of an extraosseous osteogenic carcinoma of the parotid gland is presented. The head and neck region is an unusual site for these unusual neoplasms, with approximately 5 per cent of all extraosseous osteogenic sarcomas originating in the soft tissues of the face and neckThe neoplasms may arise after a latent period following radiation therapy. The majority, however, arise de novo. As a group, extraosseous osteogenic sarcomas are very aggressive and lethal neoplasms with an average 5-year survival of 15.6 per cent (Rao et al., 1978)

Good Agreement

For years the separation of carcinoma and sarcoma and the subclassification of sarcomas has been based on the appearance of the tumor cells and their microscopic growth pattern and information derived from certain histochemical and special stains. Although this method of study has produced good agreement among pathologists in the separation of carcinoma from sarcoma, it has given less uniform results in the subclassification of sarcomas. There remain examples of neoplasms of different histogenesis, the classification of which is questionable because of similar cytologic and growth patterns at the light microscopic level; i.e. amelanotic melanoma versus carcinoma and occasionally sarcoma, sarcomas with an epithelial pattern of growth simulating carcinoma, histologically similar mesenchymal tumors of different histogenesis (histiocytoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma, lytic osteogenic sarcoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma), and myxomatous mesenchymal tumors of diverse histogenesis (myxoid rhabdo and liposarcomas, cardiac myxoma, myxoid neurofibroma, etc.)

Type Particle

We have reported the maturation of an intracisternal A-type particle in murine plasma cell tumor cultures and three human tumor cell cultures (rhabdomyosarcoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and osteogenic sarcoma) after IUDR-DMSO activation. In all of these studies the A-type particle seems to develop into a form with an electron dense nucleoid, presumably mature, which is also intracisternal. A similar intracisternal A-type particle has been described in leukemic guinea pigs. Although no biological activity has yet been demonstrated for these particles, on morphologic grounds, and by the manner in which they develop within the cell, they may represent members of the same family of viruses.
