Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer in all age groups. Metastasis mostly occurs with high-grade tumors disseminating to the lungs and other bones. Spread to the pancreas is rare and undocumented in the low-grade subtypes. Additionally, it is uncommon for the disease course of low-grade subtypes to involve multiple relapses. We present a 35-year-old woman with parosteal osteosarcoma who has experienced an atypical metastasis to the pancreas as well as multiple local and pulmonary relapses. The lesion was identified incidentally on routine imaging, and the patient underwent resection. We compare our case to the other reports of pancreatic metastasis in the literature. Despite being especially rare, clinicians ought to be aware of pancreatic metastasis of osteosarcoma. Furthermore, despite parosteal osteosarcoma’s less aggressive disease course, it can uncommonly lead to multiple relapses. We present a rare case exemplifying these phenomena in the prognostically favorable histologic subtype of parosteal osteosarcoma.

Uncommon Tumor

Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

Background: Pilomatricoma is a common benign adnexal tumor differentiating toward elements of the hair matrix and shaft. It typically presents as a solitary, deep, dermal nodule. We describe a case of a pilomatricoma with the unusual feature of a thick-walled dermal bulla overlying the tumor. Objective: We describe a case of bullous pilomatricoma and discuss the potential etiology of the bullous feature of the lesion. Methods: This article includes a case report and a literature review. Conclusions: Bullous pilomatricoma has rarely been described. A common pathological feature in this type of pilomatricoma is the presence of dilated lymphatics. Bullous morphea associated with dermal lymphatic dilation has also been described. In both bullous pilomatricoma and morphea, it is possible that individual pathological features of the lesion lead to obstruction and congestion of the dermal lymphatics thereby inducing enough dilation and edema to form a dermal bulla. Antécédents: Le pilomatrixome (épithéliome calcifiant de Malherbe) est une tumeur annexielle bénigne qui ressemble aux éléments de la matrice et de la tige pilaires. Il se manifeste typiquement par un nodule sous-cutané solitaire. Nous rapportons un cas de pilomatrixome présentant la caractéristique inhabituelle d'une bulle dermique à paroi épaisse située au-dessus de la tumeur. Objectifs: Décrire un cas de pilomatrixome bulleux et présenter l'étiologie potentielle d'une telle manifestation. Méthodes: Cet article comporte une étude de cas ainsi qu'une revue de la littérature. Conclusion: Le pilomatrixome bulleux a rarement été décrit. La dilatation des vaisseaux lymphatiques constitue une manifestation pathologique fréquente de cette forme de pilomatrixome. La morphée bulleuse a également été associée à une dilatation de vaisseaux lymphatiques. Il est possible que les caractéristiques pathologiques individuelles des lésions du pilomatrixome bulleux et de la morphée entraînent une obstruction et une congestion des vaisseaux lymphatiques, provoquant ainsi une dilatation et un œdème suffisamment importants pour former une bulle.

Malignant Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor

Proliferating trichilemmal tumors (PTTs) are neoplasms derived from the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. These tumors, which commonly affect the scalp of elderly women, rarely demonstrate malignant transformation. Although invasion of the tumors into neighboring tissues and being accompanied with anaplasia and necrosis are accepted as findings of malignancy, histological features may not always be sufficient to identify these tumors. The clinical behavior of the tumor may be incompatible with its histological characteristics. Squamous-cell carcinoma should certainly be considered in differential diagnosis because of its similarity in morphological appearance with PTT. Immunostaining for CD34, P53, and Ki-67 is a useful adjuvant diagnostic method that can be used in differential diagnosis aside from morphological findings. In this study, we aimed to present the case of a 52-year-old female patient with clinicopathological features. We reported a low-grade malignant proliferating trichilemmal tumor in this patient and detected no relapse or metastasis in a 24-month period of follow-up.

Sebaceous adenocarcinoma is a rare adnexal tumor that can affect the skin and is divided into ocular, a more common form and extra ocular, of a rarer occurrence. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) who developed an extra ocular, bulky and fast-growing sebaceous adenocarcinoma on the face. The literature has suggested that transplanted patients and HIV-positive patients have an excess risk for developing adnexal tumors, including sebaceous adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to examine several tumor markers and their correlation with pathohistological findings in patients with adnexal masses. METHODS: Study involved 139 patients, 84 of them with benign, 47 with malignant and 8 with borderline adnexal tumor. Levels of CA 125, CA 19-9, CEA and CA 15-3 were obtained preoperatively and assessed regarding the specific pathohistological diagnose and the patient?s age. Obtaining these results led us to divide the patient?s CA 125 levels with age and by doing that we have attained a new Tumor Marker Age score (TMA score). Results: Patients with malignant adnexal tumors had significantly higher levels of CEA (p<0.05), CA 125, CA 19-9 and CA 15-3 tumor markers (p<0.01), in comparison with patients with benign tumors. TMA score highly statistically correlate with the tumor type (benignant/malignant). CONCLUSIONS: With the increase of tumor marker levels and the patient?s age the malignant nature of adnexal tumors is more often. Results of our study highlight the importance of the use of combined tumor markers (at least CA-125 and CA 19-9) in women with adnexal masses. Those levels along with the patient?s age and new TMA score could preoperatively predict malignant nature of the tumor.

The Common

Female adnexal tumor of probable wolffian origin (FATWO) is a tumor of low malignant potential that arises predominantly in the broad ligament, mesosalpinx, and ovarian hilus. The rarity of FATWO increases its susceptibility to misdiagnosis as other tumors, especially when it occurs at an unusual site. We report a 29-year-old woman with a 7.2 cm left paravaginal FATWO that invaded into the vaginal lumen. The initial biopsy demonstrated features suggestive of vaginal spindle cell epithelioma, but with increased Ki67 proliferation index. Pathologists should be aware that the common sieve-like architecture of FATWO may not be apparent on small biopsies, which by sampling error may demonstrate predominantly the less common spindle cell architecture. Awareness of FATWO in the differential diagnosis of paravaginal tumors may help to avoid misinterpretation as vaginal spindle cell epithelioma, a previously unappreciated pitfall in the diagnosis of FATWO.
