Characteristic Features

Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft-tissue sarcomas and classified as five groups. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma includes multiple elements such as solid tissue, adipose tissue and calcified tissue, which is different from common liposarcoma in tissue constitue. Dedifferentiation to osteosarcoma is rarely described in the literature. We reported the radiological and pathological findings in a case of dedifferentiated liposarcoma with osteo-sarcomatous dedifferentiation in the retroperitoneum and discussed the characteristic features of this specific tumor. Complete surgical resection of the neoplasm is the only curative means, but establishing a prognosis remains a challenge for long-term evaluation.

ABSTRACT Background: Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is a rare low-grade malignant neoplasm. Most patients present with nonspecific symptoms until the tumor becomes large. Complete surgical resection by pancreatoduodenectomy is the treatment of choice for tumors located in the head of the pancreas Aim: To analyzed the clinicopathologic features, management, and outcomes of patients who had solid pseudopapillary tumor of the head pancreas and underwent surgical resection. Methods: Were analyzed 16 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for this condition. Results: Mean age was 25.7 years old, and 15 patients were female (93.7%). Nonspecific abdominal pain was present in 14 (87.5%). All underwent computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging as part of diagnostic workup. The median diameter of the tumor was 6.28 cm, and surgical resection was performed with open or laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Postoperative complications occurred in six patients (37.5%) and included pancreatic fistula without mortality. The mean of hospital stay was 10.3 days. Median follow-up was 3.6 years, and no patient had local recurrence or metastatic disease. Conclusion: For these patients surgical resection with pancreatoduodenectomy is the treatment of choice showing low morbidity, no mortality, and good long-term survival.

Background Intracerebral Cladophialophora bantiana may carry up to a 70% mortality rate despite advances in surgical resection capabilities and the use of both systemic and intrathecal antifungal treatments. Objectives The authors examined a retrospective case series of two patients with intracerebral infection from the rare, neurotropic fungus Cladophialophora bantiana and conducted a literature review to evaluate optimal therapies. Patients/Methods At our institution, the patients' cases presented with raised intracranial features of headache, visual field cut, and/or memory loss, with a correspondingly wide variety of radiological differential diagnoses. It was the microbiological, histopathological, and genomic identification of C. bantiana that ensured targeted, individualized patient therapies. Results and Conclusions Successful treatment depends on obtaining a complete surgical resection, an accurate microbiological diagnoses for mold identification, and an effective long-term, personalized antifungal treatment. Close radiographic surveillance is necessary to ensure complete eradication of pheoid fungi.

Abstract Background Dedifferentiated liposarcoma, one of the most deadly types of soft tissue sarcoma, is an aggressive and high-grade form of liposarcoma. Liposarcoma occurs most commonly in the retroperitoneum, extremities and trunk, but less frequently in the female genital tract. The vagina is a very rare site of origin. Herein we report the first case of dedifferentiated Liposarcoma deriving from vagina and discuss its clinical course. Case presentation A 38-year-old female patient presented to our institution with a painless vaginal mass. Abdominal computed tomography showed a 17.6 cm× 10.4 cm solid mass originating from the right lateral wall of her vagina. Then she underwent complete surgical resection of the tumor mass, and postoperative pathological result confirmed the diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma deriving from vagina. Six courses of combination chemotherapy with pirarubicin plus ifosfamide were performed after surgery. The patient remains with no evidence of disease recurrence with 13 months of follow-up. Conclusions Liposarcoma is very rare in female genital tract, and more rare for dedifferentiated liposarcoma in gynecologic field. Little is known about the clinical characteristics, pathological diagnosis, prognosis and optimal management strategy of vaginal dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Complete surgical resection followed by systemic chemotherapy is suggested to be standard treatment for dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Combination chemotherapy with pirarubicin and ifosfamide may be effective for treating vaginal dedifferentiated liposarcoma.

Purpose Children with pure fetal histology (PFH) hepatoblastoma treated with complete surgical resection and minimal adjuvant therapy have been shown to have excellent outcomes when compared with other patients with hepatoblastoma. We prospectively studied the safety and efficacy of reducing therapy in all children with stage I PFH enrolled onto two consecutive studies. Patients and Methods From August 1989 to December 1992, 9 children with stage I PFH were treated on the Intergroup Hepatoblastoma study INT-0098 and were nonrandomly assigned to receive chemotherapy after surgical resection with single-agent bolus doxorubicin for 3 consecutive days. From March 1999 to November 2006, 16 children with stage I PFH enrolled onto Children's Oncology Group Study P9645 were treated with observation after resection. Central confirmation of the histologic diagnosis by a study group pathologist was mandated. The extent of liver disease was assigned retrospectively according to the pretreatment extent of disease (PRETEXT) system and is designated “retro-PRETEXT” to clarify the retrospective group assignment. Results Five-year event-free and overall survival for the 9 patients treated on INT-0098 were 100%. All 16 patients enrolled onto the P9645 study were alive and free of disease at the time of last contact, with a median follow-up of 4.9 years. Retro-PRETEXT for the 21 patients with available data revealed seven patients with stage I disease, 10 patients with stage II disease, and four patients with stage III disease. Conclusion Children with completely resected PFH hepatoblastoma can achieve long-term survival without additional chemotherapy. When feasible, surgical resection of hepatoblastoma at diagnosis, without chemotherapy, can identify children for whom no additional therapy is necessary.

Fibrous Tumor

Abstract Solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura (SFTPs) are rare neoplasms, usually described as relatively benign neoplasms and only 10-20% presenting malignant features. Imagistic investigations are useful in the incipient evaluation of SFTPs, and the histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations after surgical resection are mandatory for establishing the diagnosis and for differentiating SFTPs from other aetiologies of pleural masses. The unpredictable evolution (10%-20% of the cases reported in literature display malignant features) and limited data regarding the treatment needs an early detection, a complete surgical resection and long-term imagistic follow-up. We present a case of SFTPs alongside a review of the typical clinical, imagistic and pathologic features consistent with this diagnosis.

We report a case of giant gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the stomach in a 71-year-old woman, with emphasis on its going through surgical resection. The physical examination and radiological findings revealed that a giant mass occupied most of the abdominal cavity. The patient underwent an en-block resection of the mass, partial resection of the distal stomach and Billroth II gastrojejunostomy. The pathological diagnosis was gastrointestinal stromal tumour. The patient had a long-term disease-free survival. We emphasise that complete surgical resection is the only effective radical treatment approach for giant gastrointestinal stroma of the stomach. In some cases, we still have the opportunity for resection of these tumours because of their expansive growth, even though the lesions are very large.
