Rare Benign Tumor

Hemangioma in the renal pelvis is a very rare benign tumor that may be mistaken for renal cell carcinoma. We present, herein, a case of a 59-year-old woman with a renal mass that was diagnosed as a cavernous hemangioma in the renal pelvis. The patient underwent intravenous pyelography, urine cytology, retrograde pyelography, kidney dynamic computed tomography (CT), and surgical excision.

Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor composed of mature lipomatous and hemopoietic tissue. Although it is often discovered as an incidental finding on imaging of the abdomen for some other reason or at autopsy, adrenal myelolipoma has been reported to present with symptoms such as flank pain resulting from tumor bulk, necrosis, or spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Myelolipomas are hormonally inactive but have also been reported to coexist with other hormonally active tumors of the adrenal gland. They are usually unilateral but may be bilateral and may also develop in extraadrenal sites like the retroperitoneum, thorax, and pelvis. We report a patient with symptomatic adrenal myelolipoma diagnosed on computed tomography scan and confirmed on computed tomography-guided biopsy. The patient underwent surgical resection for symptomatic relief. We also review the literature to evaluate the presentation and optimal management of this rare adrenal tumor that is not encountered by most general surgeons and therefore not well known to most surgeons.

Abstract Introduction: Renal hemangioblastoma (RH) is a very rare benign tumor. Hemangioblastoma most commonly occur in the central nervous system (CNS) and only few cases of RH have been reported as they occur most commonly as asymptomatic masses found incidentally. Mixed Mullerian Tumor (MMT) of the uterus is a rarer and aggressive form of uterine malignancy. The detection of two primary rare tumors incidentally is a rare entity. Case presentation: A 50 years female presented with abnormal uterine bleeding which on endometrial sampling was diagnosed as a rare variety of endometrial cancer i.e., MMT or uterine carcinosarcoma. On preoperative imaging, a renal mass was also detected which was highly vascular and was mimicking Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done from the renal mass to differentiate between RCC and metastasis but it showed only blood cells. Patient underwent staging laparotomy for endometrial cancer and frozen section examination of the renal mass which was inconclusive with few atypical cells and thus patient underwent radical nephrectomy too. Histopathological examination revealed it to be a RH which is a very rare benign tumor. Discussion: RH is a rare benign tumor which doesn’t require any treatment in majority of the patients. Only 26 cases of RH outside the CNS have been reported till date. MMT is a rare aggressive uterine tumor with an incidence of 1-2 % of all uterine neoplasms, which metastasizes early and thus early identification and treatment is the key. RH needs to be differentiated from RCC to avoid over treatment. Morphological findings are similar in both, preoperative FNAC, PET scan and intraoperative frozen section can be utilized to differentiate in between two in well circumcised tumors and in high suspicion. Occurrence of renal mass as an incidental finding in the preoperative work up of uterine malignancy directed us to the differentials of metastasis or another histologically distinct primary tumor. The presence of two rare primary tumors i.e., RH and MMT in the same patient which are unrelated is a rare entity.

Abstract Introduction Renal hemangioblastoma (RH) is a very rare benign tumor. Hemangioblastoma most commonly occur in the central nervous system (CNS) and only few cases of RH have been reported in literature. They occur most commonly as asymptomatic masses found incidentally. Mixed Mullerian Tumor (MMT) of the uterus is a rarer and aggressive form of uterine malignancy. The detection of two primary rare tumors incidentally is a rare entity. Case presentation A 50 years female patient presented with abnormal uterine bleeding which on endometrial sampling was diagnosed as a rare variety of endometrial cancer i.e., MMT or uterine carcinosarcoma. On preoperative Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a renal mass was also detected which was highly vascular and was mimicking Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done from the renal mass to differentiate between RCC and metastasis but it showed only blood cells. Patient underwent staging laparotomy for endometrial cancer and frozen section examination of the renal mass. Frozen section report was inconclusive with few atypical cells and thus patient underwent radical nephrectomy too. Histopathological examination revealed it to be a RH which is a very rare benign tumor. Discussion Only 14 cases of RH outside the CNS have been reported till date. Occurrence of renal mass as an incidental finding in the preoperative work up of uterine malignancy directed us to the differentials of metastasis or another histologically distinct primary tumor. RH may mimic RCC radiologically. To correctly diagnose RH is important because sporadic RH does not require further treatment and the prognosis is much better than that of RCC. MMT which compromise 1-2% of all uterine neoplasms have higher chance of metastasis than endometroid variety. Conclusion Renal hemangioblastoma is a rare benign tumor which doesn’t require any treatment in majority of the patients. Mixed Mullerian tumor is a rare aggressive uterine tumor which metastasizes early, henceforth early identification and treatment is the key. RH needs to be differentiated from RCC to avoid over treatment. Morphological findings are similar in both, preoperative FNAC, PET scan and intraoperative frozen section can be utilized to differentiate in between two in well circumcised tumors and in high suspicion. The presence of two rare primary tumors i.e., RH and MMT in the same patient which are unrelated is a rare entity.

Histopathologic Findings

Osteoma of the external auditory canal is a rare benign tumor with an estimated incidence of 0.05% of total otologic surgeries. In most cases, an osteoma in the external auditory canal does not cause symptoms because the tumor grows slowly and does not occlude the ear canal. However, if the mass grows to occlude the external auditory canal, several symptoms can occur, including conductive hearing loss, aural fullness, and keratin debris accumulation. We present two cases of this rare tumor in a 23-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man. The mass was surgically excised at the level of the peduncle under local anesthesia with microscope assistance. The base of the excised mass was drilled with a diamond burr to remove all osseous lesions. Histopathologic findings showed spongiotic osteomas. In these cases, patients had symptoms of aural fullness, although the osteomas did not completely occlude the external auditory canal, and the symptoms improved after surgical excision without recurrence.

Abstract Background: Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, benign tumor. The most common sites are the long tubular bones and mandible. Although generally considered a benign tumor, it can invade surrounding tissues and has a high rate of local recurrence after incomplete surgical excision. However, there is currently no stantard treatment. Here we present a novel case of DF in the left 6th rib in a 35-year-old man.Case presentation: The man presented to our center with left chest pain and swelling. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a 4.5×2.0 cm mass on the left 6th rib with pathological fracture.Wide resection was performed. Open biopsy revealed that the tumor destroyed medullary cavity and partially broke through the bone cortex. Pathologically, the tumor was composed of spindle-shaped cells arranging in a woven pattern on a backgroung of abundant collagenous fiber. No β-catenin were detected. Based on the pathological and radiological findings, a final diagnosis of DF was made. No postoperative adjuvant treatments were administerded. Fortunately, there was no evidence of recurrence 22 months after surgery. Conclusions: DF originated from rib is a kind of extremly rare benign tumor but locally aggressive and show unique biologically features. Wide resection or total resection can effectively reduce the risk of local recurrence when compared with curettage. Rarity of the tumor favors documentation in literature.

A Prospective Study

BACKGROUND The advent of Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) has created several important advances in the detection and characterization of renal masses due to its high accuracy, low cost, and easy availability. There is a growing need to separate benign lesions from malignant ones so as to provide an appropriate timely treatment. It can be used with contrast agents and helps in providing data during multiple phases along with the possibility of multiplanar image reconstruction anytime in the future. We wanted to study the role of CT imaging as a diagnostic modality for the evaluation of renal masses. METHODS This is a prospective study conducted among 50 cases, with clinically or radiologically diagnosed renal mass who were referred to our department . A detailed clinical history, thorough clinical examination, ultrasonography and multiphase - CECT using a Philips 128 - slice multi detector scanner (Ingenuity), were performed using the set - protocol followed by multiplanar reconstruction and detailed evaluation. Findings of CT scan were correlated with clinical / biopsy / surgical findings. RESULTS Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was the most common renal mass in our study group (48 %) followed by renal cyst (30 %). The most common presenting symptom of RCC was haematuria (91.6 %) followed by flank pain (58.3 %). Renal cyst was a fairly common lesion with majority (93.3 %) being BOSNIAK - I category. RCC most commonly showed malignant extension via lymph nodes (83.3 %) while transitional cell cancer (TCC) most commonly spread via ureteric extension (75 %). Inferior vena cava (IVC) extension, even though seen only in a small fraction of cases (4 %), was only associated with RCC. On correlation with histopathological findings, a sensitivity of 95.8 %, specificity of 96.15 % and a diagnostic accuracy of 96 % was found, for diagnosing RCC in our study. CONCLUSIONS MDCT is a robust technique for detection and characterisation of renal mases. It is rapid and easily available with excellent patient compliance. MDCT has excellent sensitivity and specificity for characterisation of renal masses. KEY WORDS MDCT, Renal Mass, Renal Cell Carcinoma, Cyst, Attenuation, Enhancement
