Cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma of lower eyelid: Case report of a rare malignant entity.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare epithelial tumor with slow development, it is most often described in the scalp; palpebral involvement is very rare. And is accompanied by local aggressiveness and frequent recurrence. The aim of this work is to discuss the management and the interest of a close surveillance of adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Case presentation

The authors report a case of palpebral cystic adenoid carcinoma in a 65-year-old patient who underwent surgical excision followed by reconstruction of the loss of substance.

Discussion

Cutaneous cystic adenoid carcinoma of the eyelids remains a very rare entity that must be evoked in front of a nodular cutaneous palpebral tumor that progresses slowly. An early diagnosis and a complete excision guarantee a better prognosis.

Conclusion

Adenoid cystic carcinoma, because of its local aggressiveness and its capacity to recur despite satisfactory surgical removal, requires long-term surveillance. Its surgery may be responsible for functional and aesthetic sequelae.

Rare imaging appearance of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast: A case report.

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare tumor comprising <0.1% of all breast malignancies. The present study reports the case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent multiple imaging techniques, including mammography, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient reported gradual enlargement of a mass in the left breast. Mammography identified a high-density, irregular mass, with nipple retraction. Ultrasonography revealed an irregular, complex cystic and solid mass with an unclear margin in the subareolar region. The internal vascularity was seen on Doppler examination. The lesion on MRI was also mixed cystic and solid, with an irregular shape and irregular margins. The solid part of the lesion appeared heterogeneously isointense on T1-weighted imaging (WI) and a slightly high signal on T2WI, and exhibited internal septations with a low signal on T2WI. Following injection of contrast agent, the enhancement of the solid part was rapid and heterogeneous. The cystic parts of lesion appeared as high-signal on T1WI and T2WI. The tumor infiltrated the left nipple and adjacent skin. The patient underwent a left modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. The pathological examination confirmed the tumor as ACC of the left breast. The axillary lymph nodes were negative for tumor metastasis. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of mixed cystic and solid breast masses with unclear margins and internal septations on T2WI exhibiting delayed enhancement, must include ACC.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma mimicking an oroantral fistula: a case report.

Project description:Introduction Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is one of the most frequent malignant salivary gland tumors, which commonly affects the minor salivary glands of the mouth and is rare in the nose and paranasal sinuses. In the maxillary sinus, ACC can mimic inflammatory diseases and has a poor prognosis. Objective To report a case of a 50-year-old man with ACC of the maxillary sinus whose clinical findings in the alveolar ridge mimicked an oroantral fistula. Case Report An excisional biopsy was performed and histopathologic analysis revealed ACC. Lung metastases and residual tumor in the maxillary sinus were detected by imaging methods. In view of the poor general health of the patient, no new surgical intervention was performed and he was only treated by radiotherapy and follow-up. Conclusion Although rare in the maxillary sinus, ACC should be included in the differential diagnosis of lesions affecting this site.

Mandibular involvement of plasmacytoma - Uncommon case report of rare entity.

Project description:Solitary plasmacytoma (SP) is an early-stage plasma cell malignancy that is in between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) along the spectrum of plasma cell disorders. SPs can be divided into 2 groups according to location: solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) - these occur most commonly in the vertebrae and secondarily in long bones, and extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) - these encompass all nonosseus SPs. The etiology is still unknown, and they generally display a destructive course with preponderance of males. Both lesions present a risk of progression to multiple myelom. Its presence in jaws is extremely rare and when it is seen, angulus and ramus mandible are most common sites of occurrence. Histopathological examination and systemic investigation are mandatory for confirmation but support of immunohistochemistry positivity for CD138 was also done for establishing the final diagnosis.

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.

Port site tuberculosis a rare post operation entity: A case report.

Project description:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures done worldwide. Post-surgical site infections are common, yet there are occurrences of uncommon complications, including port site tuberculosis (TB). We report a case of a 62-year-old man who was the victim of post-surgical site infection of port sites caused probably by improper sterilization. The patient lacked any common symptoms of tuberculosis and his initial lab investigations were not affirmative. A biopsy depicting the growth of multiple epithelioid granulomas finally led to the diagnosis of port site tuberculosis. The patient was treated by incision and drainage followed by anti-tubercular therapy. This treatment regime showed complete resolution of disease on follow-ups. Such cases require multidisciplinary team (Surgery, Pathology and Infectious disease department in our case) inputs for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

An unusual case report of pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma metastasis to the kidney. Case report and literature review.

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant neoplasm, frequently affecting the salivary glands, and rarely occurring in other locations. ACC is characterized by slow growth, perineural invasion, local and late recurrence after original treatment. However, renal metastasis of ACC is very rare. To our best knowledge, only 11 cases of ACC metastasis to the kidney have been reported in the English literature to date. Herein, we presented a rare case of a 70-year-old man with renal metastasis from ACC of the right lung after 3 years of primary presentation. Our patient underwent right radical nephrectomy and histologically confirmed as Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma with MYB aberrations: report of three cases and comprehensive review of the literature.

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a relatively rare slow-growing and often-aggressive epithelial-myoepithelial neoplasm that arises in multiple organs including the skin. The t(6;9) (q22-23;p23-24) translocation, resulting in a MYB-NFIB gene fusion has been found in ACCs from the salivary glands and other organs. Recently, MYB aberrations occurring in a subset (40%) of primary cutaneous ACC (PCACC) examples was described. Herein, we report three additional cases of PCACC harboring MYB aberrations. The tumors presented in three males aged 43, 81 and 55 years old and affected the extremities in the first two patients and the scalp in the third one. None of the patients had history of prior or concurrent ACC elsewhere. Lesions exhibited the classic ACC morphology of nests of basaloid cells arranged in cribriform and adenoid patterns. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed in two cases with one case showing lymph node positivity. Fluorescence in situ hybridization with break-apart probes for MYB and NFIB loci revealed that two cases showed MYB rearrangements while one case showed loss of one MYB signal. None of the cases showed NFIB rearrangements. We contribute with three additional cases of PCACC exhibiting MYB aberrations, the apparent driving genetic abnormality in these tumors.
