Adenomatoid tumor of epididymis-A case report.

ABSTRACT: Adenomatoid tumors are rare benign mesothelial neoplasm involving the Para testicular region, mostly the tail of the epididymis. However, it may occur in some other parts of the genitourinary system. A definitive diagnosis of the tumor is very important because it is very difficult to differentiate it clinically and radiologically from the other intrascrotal tumors. Herein, we report a case of adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis in a 60-year old male patient, with its clinical data and review of the literature.

An atypical presentation of a Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma, a case report.

Project description:IntroductionRespiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma (REAH) is a benign disease that can resemble other malignant entities. Thus, it is essential to diagnose it accurately as the treatment approach differs, from radical surgeries in malignant cases, to a simple excision in hamartoma. We present an unusual case of bilateral REAH that was misdiagnosed, and hence it was treated aggressively.Case reportA 57-year-old male patient presented with anosmia, 2-years history of bilateral nasal obstruction, and was accompanied with a moderate headache. An impression of olfactory neuroblastoma was made after history taking physical examination, and imaging studies. The patient underwent Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), excisional biopsy of the cribriform plate mass bilaterally, and superior septectomy. Histopathologic examination of the bilateral masses showed sinonasal polyposis with crypting of surface mucosa and pseudoglandular formation. A diagnosis of sinonasal polyps with REAH was established. The patient's nasal obstruction improved, with no recurrence of sinusitis ± polyposis. However, he still complains of anosmia after 2-years follow-up.ConclusionAlthough REAH is a benign disease, it is critical to reach the correct diagnosis, in order to avoid aggressive treatment. Unfortunately, the preoperative investigations were not consistent with REAH, thus it was misdiagnosed and treated aggressively.

Post-traumatic hematoma of the epididymis: Case-report.

Project description:Scrotal trauma accounts for less than 1% of all trauma-related injuries. Traumatic injuries of the epididymis are extremely rare.Here we report a rare case of hematoma of the epididymis, diagnosed with US, in a 10-year-old boy after a sport injury.

Obstructive shock in pediatric patient with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation: A case report.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare cystic lesion in the lungs. CCAM might present in the early neonatal period with symptoms of respiratory distress.Case presentationA 2-year-old girl was admitted to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with signs of severe respiratory distress. She had been diagnosed with CCAM since she was three months old. She also had undergone several procedures such as thoracotomy and decortication since then, but she still suffered some episodes of pulmonary infection. In this admission, her computerized thoracic tomography revealed a pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB).Clinical discussionAn obstruction of blood outflow from the left ventricle could happen when an intrathoracic mass exists, leading to a decrease of cardiac output and resulting in an obstructive shock, which could be fatal. One of the malignancy types commonly occurring is pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), which has a poor prognosis. Early detection on CCAM can be done by prenatal ultrasound.ConclusionObstructive shock is one of complication that might occur in pleuropulmonary blastoma.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation - dangers of misdiagnosis: a case report.

Project description:Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare pulmonary malformation, but is the most common lung malformation observed in children. In developing countries, such as Morocco, prenatal diagnosis is missing. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation may occur after birth in the presence of complications and needs a computed tomography scan for confirmation. However, our lack of awareness of this malformation has been responsible for a late and wrong diagnosis along with therapeutic errors. We report the first case in Morocco where diagnosis is confirmed by histology after death.A 10-month-old Arab boy was prescribed various antibiotics (including anti-staphylococcal) and endured repeated chest drainages, leading to his death just after radiological diagnosis and instant surgery.The goal of this case report is to firmly express the need for both pediatricians and radiologists to enlarge diagnosis investigations, especially of congenital or constitutional entities in children, as soon as recurrence of respiratory distress and pulmonary infections are manifested. We also emphasize this important entity because of its frequency, to avoid the eventual therapeutic errors.

Glioneuronal tumor with CLIP2-MET fusion: A case report

Project description:Glioneuronal tumor (GN) is one type of biphasic central nervous system (CNS) tumor that exhibits both glial and neuronal immunohistological characteristics. We report a case of glioneuronal tumor (GN) with a discovery of novel gene fusion of CLIP2-MET resulting from aberrant chromosome 7 abnormalities. The tumor exhibited typical characteristics on histological examinations. We executed an elaborate genomic study on this case including whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Genomic analysis of the tumor revealed aberrations in chromosomes 1 and 7 and a CLIP2-MET fusion. Further analysis of the upregulated genes revealed substantial connections with MAPK pathway activation. We concluded that the chromosome 7 abnormalities prompted CLIP2-MET gene fusion which successively leads to MAPK pathway activation. We deliberated that MAPK pathway activation is responsible for the oncogenesis of GN based on our case and other previously reported ones.

Traumatic rupture of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation mimicking traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst: a case report.

Project description:Thoracic trauma is commonly encountered in daily clinical practice; however, blunt thoracic trauma in patients with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is rare. CCAM rupture denotes a broad spectrum of manifestations on imaging and may be misdiagnosed as many other conditions. Consequently, this leads to inaccurate treatment and poor patient outcomes. We report the case of a girl with the initial diagnosis of a cavitary lung lesion that was likely a traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst or CCAM. The patient received medical therapy for 20 days; however, her condition did not improve. Subsequently, she underwent right lower lobectomy. Ruptured CCAM was confirmed during surgery and with histopathology. No complications occurred postoperatively, and the patient made a good recovery.

Case Report: Dendritic Cells and Macrophages Capture Sperm in Chronically Inflamed Human Epididymis.

Project description:Chronic inflammation of the male genital tract is thought to be a primary etiological factor of male infertility. The abundance and activation of macrophages and dendritic cells in patients with chronic inflammation of genital tract were closely associated with oligozoospermia and asthenospermia. Chronic epididymitis appears to be more important than seminal vesiculitis or prostatitis due to the direct interaction between spermatozoa and epididymal inflammatory cells. In this study, we present a case report of a 41-year-old male with oligoasthenospermia and chronic epididymitis. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence analyses showed that antigen presenting cells including macrophages and dendritic cells were found capturing spermatozoa in the lumen of cauda epididymis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report that directly observed dendritic cells capturing spermatozoa in the lumen of an inflamed epididymis. This finding directly explains chronic epididymitis as the possible cause of oligospermia in patients.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.
