Isolated distal ulnar bone metastasis from lung squamous cell carcinoma: an extremely rare case report.

ABSTRACT: Bone metastases commonly occur in patients with lung cancer. However, metastasis from primary lung carcinoma to the bone below the knee and elbow is rarely encountered. We herein describe a man who developed an isolated distal ulnar bone metastasis originating from lung squamous cell carcinoma. A 68-year-old man presented to our orthopedic outpatient clinic for evaluation of a rapidly progressing tumor over his right wrist area. Tenderness with increased local temperature was noted, and the tumor was firm in consistency, oval-shaped, and 7 × 5 cm in size. Magnetic resonance imaging and radiographic imaging revealed an osteolytic tumor in his distal ulnar shaft. A 99m Tc-phosphate bone scan showed that this tumor was isolated and newly observed compared with the previous bone scan findings during initial diagnosis. Bone tumor biopsy confirmed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Segmental tumor resection with cementation was subsequently performed. This rare case report of an isolated ulnar metastasis includes detailed descriptions of the clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of the tumor.

Case report: Rare isolated cystic hepatic metastasis of a patient with squamous cell lung carcinoma history and the prognosis.

Project description:Cystic hepatic metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma usually develops from necrosis due to insufficient blood supply, yet metastasis initially resembling simple liver cyst is rare. Here, we present a case of a patient with squamous cell lung carcinoma history who found an isolated cystic mass in the liver. Historical MR studies indicated that the mass did not exist 12 months ago and emerged as a small cystic lesion 7 months ago. Radiological findings and tumor markers level suggested metastasis, while 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT showed moderate tracer uptakes in solid parts of the mass. Pathological study after surgery confirmed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Chemotherapy plus recombinant human endostatin and sintilimab therapy was employed after surgery; however, the patient developed remote metastasis of osteolytic lesions in the humerus bone and thoracic vertebra. Our case indicates that metastasis should be taken into consideration in emerging cystic hepatic lesion with malignant history.

Isolated complete dislocation of hamate bone with an ulnar nerve injury: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundIsolated complete dislocation of the hamate bone is a rare wrist injury. Only 22 cases have been reported in the literature. Four of them were associated with nerve injury, but it is a pity that the causes of ulnar nerve injury had never been deeply analyzed. In the case report, it was stated that the ulnar nerve injury was caused by both displacement of uncinate bone and change of position of transverse carpal ligament. The complete dislocation of the hamate bone is mostly caused by direct force, often accompanied by tears of the surrounding ligaments.Case descriptionA 30-year-old woman was treated because her left hand was crushed by a machine roller. Plain film X-ray showed isolated dislocation of the volar hamate and rotation of the hamate bone to the volar side. Clinical manifestations and computed tomography (CT) signs suggest ulnar nerve injury. The patient was quickly transported to the operating room for open reduction and internal fixation of the hamate bone and repair of the dorsal carpal ligament. The patient fully recovered after 12 months.ConclusionsIsolated complete dislocation of the hamate bone is a rare injury. The most common cause is direct compression force to the wrist. Diagnosis can be made through review of the patient's medical history, physical examination and X-ray, however, CT can accurately evaluate the displacement and rotation of the hamate bone, hamate bone fracture and other concomitant wrist fractures, suggesting compression changes of the median nerve and ulnar nerve to provide a reliable basis for the formulation of a clinical care plan. The case report added the evidence-based practice, and discussed the anatomical mechanism and imaging manifestation of ulnar nerve injury associated with complete dislocation of hamate bone.

Case Report: Oblique Fracture of the Ulnar Sesamoid Bone of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint, a Rare Pathology.

Project description:Fractures of the sesamoid bones of the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) are a rare pathology in hand trauma. Only a few case reports and case series were found in literature. The diagnosis of an ulnar sesamoid bone fracture of the MCPJ is difficult and can pose a differential diagnostic problem with Stener lesions or ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) instability. This pathology is frequently missed with subsequent poor functional outcomes. Correct and early diagnosis is important as this will allow for correct treatment with full recovery of function without sequelae.We report a case of a 35-year-old male Caucasian patient after a thumb injury due to a fall with his mountain bike. X-ray showed a fracture of the ulnar sesamoid of the MCPJ of the pollex, which is rarely reported in this literature. Anamnesis, clinical examination, and X-ray evaluation contributed to our diagnosis. The ulnar sesamoid bone fracture of the MCPJ of the right pollex was initially treated conservatively with immobilization, rest and ice application. After 3-4 weeks, physiotherapy with thenar muscles exercises was started. 10 weeks after the injury, our patient reported a total recovery of function and pain-free thumb movement during daily activities.Ulnar sesamoid fractures are rarely reported in current literature. This type of injury should be recognized as early as possible since it can be easily missed. Then a benign course can be expected after short immobilization of the MCPJ of the thumb during circa 2 weeks. UCL instability or a Stener lesion should be excluded at the emergency department by performing an ultrasound. With this case report, we underline the importance of early diagnosis and exclusion of an unstable Stener lesion.

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.

Bladder Lymphangioma Treated by Holmium Laser: Extremely Rare Case Report.

Project description:Introduction: Lymphangioma is a sporadic benign tumor of the bladder. It is a congenital disorder and based on the size of lymphatic spaces, it is divided into 3 types of capillary, cavernous, and cystic. Case Report: In this paper, we presented a 40-year-old woman with microscopic hematuria and a normal urinary ultrasound. Urethrocystoscopy showed a flat 4 mm highlighted strawberry-like lesion on the right lateral wall of the bladder. After a cold cup biopsy, the lesion was coagulated by the holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) laser. Conclusion: In Bladder Lymphangioma Based on the size of the lesion, partial cystectomy or minimally invasive surgeries such as laser modality would be the principal treatment.

An extremely rare case of adult with first branchial cleft fistula: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionAnomalies of the first branchial cleft are rare and represent 10% of lateral cervical malformations. Very few cases have been described in literature. In our research, we didn't find cases of adults with first branchial cleft fistulas. First branchial cleft fistulas in adults are difficult to diagnosticate, and the surgery of the parotid gland to extract the fistula requires to be precautious.Case presentationThe aim of this work is to present an extremely rare case of a 65 years-old patient with first branchial cleft fistula. Fistula excision surgery completed with superficial parotidectomy were performed. No sign of recurrency were found after 6 months surveillance.DiscussionFirst branchial cleft fistula is hard to diagnosticate, especially with adults. Very few cases of adult male are described in the literature. It is often misdiagnosed with parotid tumours or as otitis with ear drainage.The treatment of First branchial cleft fistula is surgical. A complete resection of the tract is necessary to prevent recurrency. It usually requires a superficial parotidectomy and the fistula tract passes under the parotid gland.ConclusionFirst branchial cleft fistulas are rare, and forms with adults are extremely rare to encounter. Imagery can't always help to diagnosis. Surgery is indicated in the management of this pathology, with preservation of the facial nerve.

Sellar Gangliocytoma: Case Report and Review of an Extremely Rare Tumour.

Project description:Sellar gangliocytomas (SGs) are rare, well-differentiated, low-grade neoplasias that commonly present along with a pituitary adenoma (PA). We describe a case of a 52-year-old woman with a 2-year history of headache, body weight increase, and recent onset of arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Work-up tests revealed a normal hypophyseal profile, except for mild ACTH elevation, and a sellar mass on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnosis of an enlarging pituitary macroadenoma was established, and to prevent symptom progression, the tumour was resected. Pathology showed 2 cell populations: ganglion and corticotrope cells. Three years after surgery, the patient no longer had a headache but persisted with arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A literature review produced 207 cases of SGs. They typically present in women at 40 years of age and the most common clinical presentation are symptoms of acromegaly. Of the documented cases, 74 and 93% were treated with surgery alone or combined treatments (radiotherapy, radiosurgery, or pharmacotherapy), respectively. The majority of deaths associated with a SG came from the first half of the 20th century. In conclusion, this patient presented with a silent SG with likely pituitary hyperplasia. SGs are a challenging diagnosis, have a benign course, and may provide insights into PA tumourigenesis.

Rare isolated trapezoid fracture: a case report.

Project description:Isolated fractures of the trapezoid are rare. Of all of the fractures of the carpus, the most common is the scaphoid, which represents 68.2% of all carpal fractures (Papp, Orthop Clin N Am 38:251-60, 2007). In contrast, trapezoid fractures represent 0.4% of all carpal injuries. Because it is an infrequently fractured carpal bone, there is a wide variety of treatment plans, including rest, immobilization, and surgery (Green and Pederson, Green's Operative Hand Surgery, Elsevier, Philadelphia, 759 pp, 2005). In this report, we describe a patient who presented with an isolated fracture of the trapezoid that was successfully treated with cast immobilization and had a full functional recovery.
