CASE REPORT: COMPLETE RESECTION OF RETROPERITONEAL CYSTIC LYMPHANGIOMA AND SURROUNDING ORGANS

Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas is a rare benign vascular tumor. Its histogenesis is still hypothetical and its preoperative diagnosis difficult to establish. We report a case in a 26-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain with the notion of a constipation-type transit disorder. Radiological investigations showed an intraperitoneal mesenteric cystic tumor. A complete resection of the mass was performed. Pathological examination of the operative specimen confirmed the presence of cystic formations, the wall of no need keep it.to the end which was lined by a squamous, endothelial epithelium with a fibrous wall dotted with a few lymphoid clusters in favor of cystic lymphangioma.

Introduction: Nasal chondromesenchymal tumors (NCMT) are rare benign neoplasms that usually present in children <1 year of age. They can display rapid growth and significant local bony remodeling that can mimic a malignant process. Of the ∼50 published cases to date, few have documented the need for neurosurgical intervention. We herein report a NCMT in an infant treated with a staged cranial and transnasal approach, as well as summarize the available literature on this pathology. Case Report: A newborn male with a compromised airway was noted to have a large sinonasal lesion. After stabilization, MRI demonstrated a 4-cm enhancing mass with diffuse sinus involvement and significant extension into the anterior cranial fossa, with displacement of the optic apparatus and hypothalamic pituitary axis. After an initial biopsy, the patient underwent a bifrontal craniofacial approach at 2 months of age, followed by a second-stage transnasal endoscopic approach at 15 months which resulted in a complete resection. There were no neurosurgical complications. Pathology was consistent with a NCMT. Discussion: Although rare, neurosurgical involvement is critical for the treatment of NCMTs with intracranial extension. Staged cranial and endonasal endoscopic approaches may be needed for complete resection of such lesions.

Pleural Neoplasms

Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are rare pleural neoplasms that are distinct from mesothelioma. Most of them are benign, although some behave aggressively; morphological and pathological features are important in distinguishing them from mesothelioma and in predicting clinical behaviour. Solitary fibrous tumours often grow to a large size before causing symptoms, and are characteristically associated with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy in up to 20% of cases. In cases of benign lesions, complete resection is usually curative. A case involving a 62-year-old woman who underwent surgical resection of a solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura measuring 25 cm in size is described.

Review Of The Literature

Nodular fasciitis is a rare disease, and its diagnosis is difficult. We present a case report of a seven-year-old child with progredient swelling of the left pectoralis muscle three weeks after trauma. After histopathological diagnosis, we performed complete resection. Normally, a conservative approach with regular follow-up is regarded as appropriate since nodular fasciitis does have the capability to regress spontaneously. Since recent publications indicate the possibility of malignant transformation, the complete primary resection also has to be discussed as therapy of choice.

Review Of The Literature ◽

Histological Features

Synovial sarcoma (SS) represents about 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is believed that its origin would be found in cells that are related neither to ultrastructural nor to histological features of the synovial tissue. Head and neck is very rarely affected, with the lower extremities being most frequent. Complete resection with or without radiotherapy and chemotherapy is currently considered the best available therapy. This time we present the case of a patient with SS located in the infratemporal fossa, its diagnosis, treatment and evolution. According to our knowledge it is the first reported case in South America.

Primary osteosarcomas of the bladder account for about 0.04% ofbladder neoplasms. Most of the patients in the literature expiredwithin 6 months and, in almost all of the cases in the literature,radical cystectomy with postoperative chemotherapy was thetreatment choice. A 79-year-old gentleman presented with grosshematuria. Cystoscopy demonstrated a 2- to 3-cm tumour along thelateral wall of the bladder. The tumour was resected incompletelyvia initial transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), anda second TURBT was subsequently performed to fully resect theresidual mass. Surgical pathology from these 2 resections revealedosteosarcoma with invasion into the muscularis propria. Acystoprostatectomy was performed and final pathologic specimenrevealed high-grade CIS without evidence of residual osteosarcoma.Postoperatively, the patient did not receive chemotherapy orradiation and currently remains disease-free 2 years post-radicalcystectomy. Only 33 well-documented cases of primary osteosarcomaof the bladder have been reported to date. However, thereare only 3 cases in which TURBT resulted in complete resection.
