Incidental finding of bilateral renal and adrenal anastomosing hemangiomas: A rare case report.

ABSTRACT: Anastomosing hemangiomas are rare variants of vascular tumors found in adrenal, hepatic, and gastrointestinal tissue. Frequently, renal anastomosing hemangiomas are misdiagnosed on computed tomography (CT) as kidney cancers, resulting in unnecessary workups and detrimental treatments. We present a rare case of bilateral renal and adrenal anastomosing hemangioma found incidentally on renal biopsy. Patient is a 39 year-old African American male on hemodialysis with a history of end-stage renal disease secondary to lupus who presented with acute pericarditis and worsening renal insufficiency.

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.

A Rare Case of Bilateral Adrenal Hemorrhage.

Project description:Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage (BAH) is a rare but potentially fatal entity that carries a mortality rate of 15%. Most cases are associated with sepsis, antiphospholipid syndrome, the use of anticoagulants, as well as trauma and surgery. In this case report, we present a case of BAH in a previously healthy man with a recent history of corticosteroid use. Our case emphasizes the ambiguous clinical presentation of BAH, which poses a challenge in the establishment of a correct diagnosis. We also illustrate the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and subsequent therapeutic approach to this rare clinical entity.

Case Report: Rare Case of Synchronous Neck Metastasis From Metachronous Bilateral Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor that can metastasize easily. Hence, many patients have already developed metastasis when they are diagnosed. It is also one of the most common tumors that metastasize to the head and neck through extranodal disease. Herein, we reported a case of a 53-year-old man with cervical metastasis from bilateral RCC. Interestingly, whole exome sequencing (WES) and clonal evolution analysis revealed that bilateral renal tumor lesions and neck metastases (squamous cell carcinoma) share the same subclones and a large number of gene variants, while the pathological morphology is different (left nephrotic foci, a mixed pattern of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) with papillary adenoma; right renal foci, papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC)). This was first reported in RCCs to the best of our knowledge. This case suggests that genotype analysis can be a powerful supplementary examination for clinical histopathological diagnosis. Gene detection has great significance for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of RCC metastasis or multiple lesions.

Histiocytosis Presenting as Bilateral Adrenal Masses: A Case Report.

Project description:IntroductionAdrenal masses are a rare diagnosis in children, with bilateral masses even less common. At present, appearance of the mass on imaging and histology can give important clues to the diagnosis; however, there is significant overlap in 10-30% of cases and it can be difficult to distinguish benign from malignant adrenal masses. As a result, the clinical presentation remains a large part of the diagnostic process, as well as thorough endocrinology evaluation to determine if the tumor is functional versus nonfunctional.Case presentationWe present a recent case of bilateral adrenal masses in a pediatric patient at our institution, with an unusual diagnosis of histiocytosis.ConclusionIn this case, the diagnosis was unclear, until genetic testing and pathology allowed for expedient diagnosis and targeted therapy for this patient. We hope that presenting this case will increase physician awareness of this condition and expedite diagnosis and treatment in other patients with this rare presentation.

Spontaneous Bilateral Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy: Incidental Finding During Laparoscopy - Brief Report and Review of Literature.

Project description:Objective: Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies are rare; the reported incidence is only 1 in 200 000 pregnancies. Detecting bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is urgent because of the associated morbidity and mortality. The appropriate fertility-preserving surgery must also be considered, as preservation of both tubes is presumed to offer better fertility prospects. Case Report: A 39-year-old gravida 2, para 1 presented with vaginal bleeding at 8 + 4 weeks of gestation. An approximately 18 mm adnexal mass in the right fallopian tube was detected on ultrasound. Laparoscopy was performed because ectopic pregnancy was suspected. This suspicion was confirmed during laparoscopy; the right fallopian tube was found to contain a mass measuring 20 mm in the isthmic part. Ultrasound of the left fallopian tube also showed a mass in the ampullary region (diameter: 10 mm), also suspicious for ectopic pregnancy. Bilateral salpingotomy was performed laparoscopically. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusions for Practice: Although ectopic tubal pregnancy is seen more often after assisted reproductive techniques, bilateral spontaneous ectopic pregnancies must also be considered in other cases. Laparoscopic surgery is effective to confirm the diagnosis and treat heterotopic pregnancies. Further studies will be needed to confirm whether unilateral or bilateral conservative fertility-preserving surgery is more appropriate.

Asymptomatic large duodenal GIST - An incidental finding in abdominopelvic ultrasonography: A case report.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Duodenal GISTs are rare mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract. They usually present as gastrointestinal bleeding or non-specific abdominal pain, but they can also be asymptomatic. High-risk GISTs have malignant potential. Surgical resection is the only curative option and its extension depends on different factors. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are of the utmost importance in high-risk and metastatic disease. CASE DESCRIPTION:We herein report the case of a 75-year-old male, referred to our general surgery outpatient clinic, with an asymptomatic duodenal mass incidentally diagnosed during an abdominopelvic ultrasonography. Abdominal CT suggested GIST. Since no other lesions were found, a segmental duodenectomy was performed and the patient recovery was uneventful. Histologic exam confirmed the presence of a high-risk GIST, therefore adjuvant therapy with imatinib was initiated. DISCUSSION:Duodenal involvement by GISTs is rare, even more in its third/fourth portions. The widespread clinical use of radiological exams such as ultrasonography may lead to the diagnosis of asymptomatic masses. Surgical treatment is the gold-standard giving the malignant potential of these neoplasms. There are risk stratification scores that may be used to assess the need for adjuvant therapy. CONCLUSION:Even large GISTs can by asymptomatic. Giving their malignant potential, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. The histologic findings and genetic profile have an impact on the patient's survival.

Incidental para-ureteral aggressive angiomyxoma: a rare case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundAggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare tumor that typically occurs in the pelvis and perineum, most commonly in women of reproductive age. However, no para-ureteral AA has been reported according to the literature. Case presentation We herein describe the first case of para-ureteral AA. A 62-year-old male presented to our institute in March 2017 with a para-ureteral mass that was 15 mm in diameter incidentally. No symptom was observed and laboratory analysis was unremarkable. Magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging showed a non-enhancing mass abutting the left ureter without causing obstruction. Laparoscopic resection of the mass was performed without injury to the ureter. Pathologic and immunohistochemical results were consistent with AA. Till now, no recurrence was noticed.ConclusionsWe reported a rare case of para-ureteral AA, along with a literature review. Early diagnosis, proper surgical plan and long-term close follow-up is recommended for its high risk of recurrence and malignant potential.

Incidental finding of tuberculous pleural effusion in patient undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionPleural effusion is common in patient with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) usually due to heart failure in preoperative and trauma of surgery in postoperative patient. Tuberculous Pleural effusion is most common form of extra pulmonary Tuberculosis. Preoperatively Tuberculous pleural effusion in CABG patients has rarely been described in literature.Presentation of caseA 62 years old gentleman with ischemic heart disease was admitted for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Preoperative workup showed left sided pleural. Intraoperatively left sided turbid yellowish colour effusion with loculation was noted while harvesting left internal mammary artery. Loculation were broken down, effusion was drained and tissues were sent for microbiology and histopathology. CABG was performed smoothly. Microbiology of pleural tissue revealed Mycobacterium tuberculosis while histopathology showed chronic granulomatous inflammation. Patient was started on antituberculous therapy and remained well six months postoperatively.ConclusionIn developing countries even without any constitutional symptoms of Tuberculosis high index of suspicion for Tuberculosis should be made for patient with pleural effusion especially in cases of cardiac surgery as to prevent morbidity and mortality.
