Leiomyosarcoma of the Vulva Mimicking as Chronic Bartholin Cyst: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Smooth muscle neoplasms of the vulva are rare, and when localized in the Bartholin's gland, it can be mistaken as a benign lesion leading to a delay in diagnosis. We report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the Bartholin's gland in a 63-year-old postmenopausal woman, which clinically mimicked a chronic Bartholin's gland cyst. This case report emphasizes the importance of suspecting malignancy in any vulvar lesion in women of postmenopausal age, despite its location and asymptomatic appearance. A prompt, careful evaluation with adequate clinical judgment will help to manage such cases efficiently.

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.

Mesothelial cyst of the spleen mimicking a metastasis: a case report.

Project description:Mesothelial cyst of the spleen is a developmental disorder. Previous reports have elaborated on the radiological features of splenic mesothelial cysts as being unilocular with a smooth and well-defined margin. However, due to its rarity, it is unclear whether these characteristics are representative and specific for the diagnosis of mesothelial cysts. Herein, this case report presents an atypical case of splenic mesothelial cyst mimicking a malignant tumour, especially splenic metastasis in a 66-year-old woman with ascending colon cancer. Due to an overlapping imaging finding of hypodense splenic lesions, and considering the clinical history, a mesothelial cyst that developed as a multilocular hypodense mass from an ill-defined small nodule was inevitably misdiagnosed as metastasis. Although rare, it is important to consider the possibility of mesothelial cyst in a patient with multilocular hypodense lesions of the spleen.

Cecal duplication cyst mimicking intussusception in a female: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionCecal duplication cysts occur only in 0.4% of all the gastrointestinal tract duplication cysts. More than 80% cases present in the first two years of life. However, asymptomatic individuals may also present in adult life.Presentation of caseA female patient of 42 years presented with generalized abdominal pain and multiple episodes of vomiting from one day. A vague tender mass was palpable in the left lumber region, firm in consistency with ill-defined borders and not moving with respiration. Ultrasound shows mild free fluid with internal debrinous echoic area noted in lower abdomen and pelvis along with fatty hepatomegaly. CeCT scan of the abdomen and pelvis shows twisted appearance of the gut and mesentery in right sub-hepatic region. Complete resection and Ileocolic anastomosis was done along with right hemicolectomy. Based on radiological, surgical and pathological findings, the final diagnosis was enteric duplication cyst.DiscussionBased on their location, terminal ileum and ileocecal junction are the most common sites (53 %) with colonic duplication second to it (13%). However, cecal duplication cysts remain the least common with incidence of 0.4 % only. Females are more common than males. However, their exact cause is not known. Possible causes are defective recanalization, fusion of embryonal longitudinal folds, persistant diverticulae of embryonic life and uterine vascular anomalies.ConclusionEnteric duplication cysts most commonly presenting with palpable abdominal mass, pain mimicking appendicitis & bleeding per-rectum. The treatment of choice is resection and ileocolic anastomosis with overall good prognosis. The delay in the diagnosis can lead to high mortality.

Laparoscopic excision for ectopic peritoneal paragonimiasis mimicking a gastric duplication cyst: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionParagonimiasis, lung fluke disease caused by infection with Paragonimus species, is a food-borne parasitic zoonosis. The overriding symptoms of Paragonimus westermani infection include chronic cough, shortness of breath, and pleuritic pain. Extrapulmonary paragonimiasis caused by aberrant parasitic migration is known to occur in a variety of sites such as the brain, abdominal wall, and intraperitoneal cavity. Ectopic paragonimiasis is an uncommon disease that presents with a few clinical manifestations, which makes it difficult to diagnose and treat.Case presentationA 47-year-old man with an unremarkable medical and surgical history presented with a peritoneal lesion that was discovered incidentally on abdominal computed tomography during routine health screening. The patient did not exhibit any associated symptoms such as abdominal pain. The radiologic diagnosis was a gastric duplication cyst and we performed laparoscopic excision of the peritoneal mass. Histopathological examination revealed paragonimiasis, and the result of the skin test for paragonimiasis was positive. The patient was treated with praziquantel.Clinical discussionThe diagnosis of ectopic peritoneal paragonimiasis remains challenging due to inexperience, misdiagnosis, and its rarity. Clinicians should bear in mind that an intra-abdominal mass may be related to a parasitic infection. The detection of the ova of Paragonimus parasites in sputum and biopsy specimens may be difficult due to an insufficient amount.ConclusionClinicians need to thoroughly take the patient's history and clinically suspect parasitic infections. Laparoscopic resection of this rare mass is safe, feasible, and allows for rapid recovery.

Primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma: A case report.

Project description:Adrenal leiomyosarcomas are rare mesenchymal tumors of the suprarenal region that are usually diagnosed after they have reached a large size. We report the case of a 62-year-old male with an incidentally found left adrenal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging of the retroperitoneal space showed a heterogeneously enhanced mass, measuring 10x8.2 cm, with characteristics suspicious of malignancy. The patient underwent left radical adrenalectomy after the hormonal evaluation of the tumor due to the high probability of adrenocortical carcinoma. However, microscopic examination of the tumor showed a spindle cell sarcoma. Immunohistochemically the neoplastic cells were found positive for desmin and smooth muscle actin and the diagnosis of a well differentiated adrenal leiomyosarcoma was established. During follow-up the patient presented an aggressive course as he developed bone, liver and pulmonary metastases early postoperatively, which were treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The patient has progressive metastatic disease while on chemotherapy 31 months after surgery.

Delayed Presenting Gastric Duplication Cyst Mimicking a Left Adrenal Cyst in a Young Female: A Case Report with a Literature Review.

Project description:IntroductionGastric duplication cyst (GDC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Though GDC is often misdiagnosed, misidentification as an adrenal cyst has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a case of GDC in a young female mimicking an adrenal cyst.Case presentationA 17-year-old female presented with chronic epigastric pain, nausea, and intermittent vomiting. Physical examinations revealed mild tenderness in the epigastric region. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed no abnormality. Ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan, and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis showed an oval-shaped left adrenal cystic lesion measuring 33 × 26 mm. Preoperative blood investigations and hormonal assessments were normal. Laparoscopy showed that the cyst originated from the greater curvature of the stomach. The left adrenal gland was normal. After an intraoperative consultation with a gastrointestinal surgeon, a wedge resection of the cyst was performed. Histopathology confirmed the gastric duplication cyst.ConclusionGDCs are rare congenital malformations that may become symptomatic during adulthood. They can mimic adrenal cysts and lead to misdiagnosis.

Eight-year chronic wound caused by Tarlov's cyst: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundTarlov's cyst is often underdiagnosed since it is difficult to identify without imaging assistance. Herein, we report the case of a young girl who presented with an 8-year history of chronic osteomyelitis of bilateral proximal phalanges and metatarsal bones caused by a Tarlov's cyst that did not contain a nerve root. The chronic wound in the forefoot is an unusual presentation and resulted from the Tarlov's cyst accompanied with tethered conus syndrome.Case presentationA 10-year-old Asian girl presented with an 8-year history of chronic osteomyelitis of bilateral proximal phalanges and metatarsal bones. She received sequestrectomy five times, however the immune function tests were all normal. A neurological examination revealed diminished sensation and a slapping gait pattern. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a lobulated cyst at the right aspect of the sacrum (S) 1 to sacrum (S) 3 canal near the dorsal root ganglion. Tethered conus syndrome was highly suspected. She received laminectomy of lumbar (L) 5 and S1-S2, which led to the diagnosis of a right S1-S3 epidural cyst. The final diagnosis from the histopathological examination was a right sacral Tarlov's cyst. The clinical conditions of diminished sensation and slapping gait pattern greatly improved after successful surgical treatment.ConclusionIn children who present with a recalcitrant chronic wound in the forefoot accompanied with a slapping gait pattern and foot hypoesthesia to pain, aggressive imaging examinations such as spine MRI should be arranged for further evaluation, especially in immunocompetent children.

A Case of Papillary Craniopharyngioma Mimicking Rathke's Cleft Cyst.

Project description:Craniopharyngioma (CP) and Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) are both suprasellar lesions. They are sometimes difficult to distinguish due to their similar findings. We report a case of papillary craniopharyngioma (pCP) with the clinical findings suggesting RCC. A 42-year-old female with intellectual disability presented to our hospital with severe visual dysfunction. Preoperative images revealed a suprasellar cystic lesion without calcification. We performed transsphenoidal surgery. Since the cyst had condensed-milk-like content suggesting RCC, we performed cyst fenestration and wash without removal of the cyst wall. Thereafter, we found fish-egg-like structures on the cyst wall. The histopathological analysis revealed that they had papillary structures surrounded by hyperplastic squamous epithelium with parakeratosis. Immunostaining for BRAF V600E was positive, leading to the diagnosis of pCP. After the surgery, her visual function improved and follow-up Magnetic resonance imaging at 18 months postoperatively showed no apparent recurrence. The presence of condensed-milk-like content suggests a likelihood of RCC indicating that aggressive resection may not be necessary. In contrast, the existence of fish-egg-like structures suggests pCP and requires careful follow-up.

Giant presacral tailgut cyst mimicking rectal duplication in a girl: report of a pediatric case.

Project description:Tailgut cyst, or retrorectal cystic hamartoma, is a rare congenital lesion found in the presacral space. The lession has been infrequently reported in medical literature. It is most common in middle-aged women and is rare in children. We report a case of a tailgut cyst mimicking a rectal duplication in an 8-year-old child. Excision and histological examination of the mass confirmed the tailgut cyst.
