: Renal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare malignancy of the urinary system, which normally spreads from its origin to the renal parenchyma. So far, various reasons, including stones, infections, and urinary tract radiotherapy have been considered for this type of malignancy. These tumors are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage; thus, the life expectancy of these patients is not long. This report tends to present a 52-year-old patient with a staghorn kidney stone and subsequent renal SCC in the right kidney.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the renal parenchyma is an extremely rare entity. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is usually unsuspected due to the rarity and inconclusive clinical and radiological features. Most of the patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and are with poor outcome. Radical nephrectomy is the mainstay of the treatment. We reported a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney in a 50-year-old female who presented with the right sided abdomen pain. The patient was treated with radical nephrectomy.

A case is reported of the simultaneous occurrence of a squamous cell carcinoma and a small cell carcinoma, both centrally located, in the right upper lobe and a peripheral adenocarcinoma in the right lower lobe. The simultaneous occurrence of three primary lung carcinomas is discussed in the light of a probable common cell origin.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the kidney is a rare malignancy of the upper urothelium usually seen at advanced stage due to delay in diagnosis and or presentation. Mostly seen in patients with history of untreated chronic urolithiasis, chronic renal infection or analgesic abuse. A 46-years-old man who presented with right recurrent loin pain that radiates to the right groin of 10 years duration which worsened 2 weeks prior to presentation, he had history of recent haematuria, right loin pain, significant weight lost with associated history of untreated right renal calculi. General examination was not remarkable, ultrasound scan revealed a huge right renal mass with calculi. Intravenous urogram showed a non-functioning right kidney. Right radical nephrectomy was done, cut surface showed replacement of the renal parenchyma with greyish white tumour with stones in some blind calyxes. Histology revealed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the right kidney. We report a case of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the right kidney in a patient with a long history of untreated renal calculi. High index of suspicion for malignancy should be kept when seeing patients with long history of untreated renal calculi.

Introduction: Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignancy that usually presents in the distal extremities along fascial planes, aponeuroses or tendon sheaths. Very rarely, it presents as a primary or metastatic lesion of the head neck. Methods: Chart review and comprehensive literature review using PubMed and Google Scholar. Results: A 17-year-old non-smoker was referred for evaluation of an ulcerative lesion of the right anterior-lateral tongue, progressing over several months. Incisional biopsy was concerning for squamous cell carcinoma. He underwent partial glossectomy and bilateral selective neck dissections, with reconstruction using a radial forearm free flap. Final pathology was consistent with epithelioid sarcoma, proximal type, demonstrating perineural invasion and close margins. Post-operative PET scan showed no persistent nor metastatic disease. He underwent post-operative radiation therapy to a total dose of 56 Gy to the primary site. Conclusion: Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare malignancy usually presenting in the extremities of young adults, which uncommonly presents in the head and neck as a primary or metastatic lesion. The infrequency of these lesions has prevented development of evidence-based treatment recommendations. As with most sarcomas, surgery is the mainstay of therapy for epithelioid sarcoma, while radiation has been used in an adjunctive role. Although a rare lesion, epithelioid sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis for atypical epithelioid lesions of the tongue and oral cavity when patient demographics, gross lesion characteristics, or histopathology are not entirely consistent with more common lesions, such as squamous cell carcinoma.

Rare Malignancy

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the trachea is an extremely rare malignancy with only a few reported cases in English literature. As such the diagnosis can be frequently missed or delayed. We present a case of a 69-year-old male who underwent tracheostomy for airway obstruction secondary to glottic squamous cell carcinoma and treated definitely with radiation therapy. Subsequently, the patient developed LMS of the tracheostomy site. The case further details multiple risk factors that could contribute to development of LMS including radiation exposure, prior malignancy, and chronic inflammation. These risk factors have been well established for LMS in other sites but less so in the head and neck region, which is the subject of our discussion. We also review the current guidelines for head and neck as well as limb sarcomas and discussed role of surgery or radiation and their accompanying challenges in management of this rare malignancy.

Abstract Background Bladder tumors in pregnancy are extremely rare. No more than 50 cases have been published to date, including all histologic variants, and only three cases of bladder squamous cell carcinoma have been described. Case presentation We present a clinical case of a 31-year-old woman with bladder squamous cell carcinoma in the second trimester of pregnancy. After a C-section at 30 weeks, we performed radical cystectomy with extended bilateral lymphadenectomy, hysterectomy and right oophorectomy. The Studer neobladder technique was performed for urinary tract reconstruction. Definitive pathology showed invasive bladder squamous cell carcinoma, Grade 2, with microscopic infiltration of the perivesical fat, negative margins, and 3/28 lymph nodes with carcinoma (pT3aN2M0). The patient underwent 18 months of surveillance after radical cystectomy, without recurrence by PET-CT. Conclusions Bladder cancer in pregnant women is extremely rare but must be considered in those with recurrent gross hematuria and/or recurrent urinary tract infection. To our knowledge, this case involves the longest recurrence-free survival of a pregnant woman with squamous cell bladder cancer published thus far.

Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of rapid on-site cytological evaluation (ROSE) in determining specimen adequacy and diagnostic accuracy in the interventional diagnosis of lung lesions. Methods This retrospective study included 127 consecutive cases of lung lesions, which were sampled by bronchoscopy or transthoracic fine needle aspiration, and diagnosed on ROSE followed by histopathology. ROSE was performed by a trained pulmonologist and the diagnosis of ROSE was compared with the final diagnosis. Results The sensitivity of ROSE in determining adequacy of specimens was 97.5% and specificity in determining inadequacy was 85.7%. The diagnostic efficacy of ROSE for assessing malignancy (sensitivity of 94.5% and specificity of 100%) and non-malignancy (sensitivity of 97.8% and specificity of 100%) was excellent. The sensitivity of ROSE for diagnosing small cell carcinoma (100%) was highest, followed by adenocarcinoma (89.2%) and squamous cell carcinoma (75.0%). Performance of ROSE by a trained pulmonologist also determined tuberculosis with a high diagnostic sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (100%). Conclusions A trained pulmonologist can reliably carry out ROSE to ensure the adequacy of the sample, distinguish between malignancy and non-malignancy, and make a preliminary diagnosis in a large number of cases.
