Primary cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma on the left iliac region: A rare case report from Syria.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

and importance: Leiomyosarcoma is a rare aggressive soft-tissue malignancy typically originating from embryonic mesoderm or mesenchymal cell lines in smooth muscles.Leiomyosarcoma of the skin is termed as "Dermal Leiomyosarcoma", and is categorized into two subdivisions; superficial cutaneous and deep subcutaneous.Both types begin either as primary lesions or metastatic lesions from distant sites.

Case presentation

We report the case of a 60-year-old male patient with Primary Cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma (PCL) located in the left iliac region.His history is insignificant and he has no family or genetic history of leiomyosarcoma. The lesion was itchy without any other symptoms and existed 20 years before our evaluation.A biopsy from the nodule was performed and sent to the pathology department, where the section was stained with smooth muscle actin stain (SMA) and the result was positive.We referred the patient to a surgeon to excise the nodule. The lesion was excised with a 3cm safety margin, the eradication includes also the of the major iliac muscle.After one year of follow-up there was no metastasis nor recurrence.

Conclusion

Primary Cutaneous Leiomyosarcoma is a very rare malignancy and it is hard to diagnose without biopsy and pathological examination.

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.

Primary umbilical cutaneous endometriosis: The first case report in Syria.

Project description:Endometriosis in the umbilical region is a very rare case. Although it is possible to have migrating endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus, for example, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs, the umbilicus is a unique place. In our case it was a 40-year- old female patient with no surgical history. She has been suffering for years from symptoms that are very consistent with endometriosis in terms of pain, mass and bleeding. but the diagnostic procedures from imaging and pathology have been taken completely up, then the case was managed while preserving the patient's reproductive function.

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.

A Rare Case of Synchronous Double Cardiac Leiomyosarcoma in the Left Atrium.

Project description:Primary cardiac tumors are rare and leiomyosarcoma is an even rarer entity with a reported incidence of <0.25% of all cardiac tumors. We demonstrate the need to include leiomyosarcoma on the differential when presented with an atrial mass on echocardiogram, which may guide intraoperative decision making. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Multiple Chromoanasynthesis in a Rare Case of Sporadic Renal Leiomyosarcoma: A Case Report.

Project description:We present the genetic profile of kidney giant leiomyosarcoma characterized by sequencing of 409 cancer related genes and chromosomal microarray analysis. Renal leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behavior and poor survival prognosis. Most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in the TP53, RB1, ATRX, and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability (CIN) and chromoanagenesis. 67-year-old woman presented with a right kidney completely replaced by tumor. Immunohistochemical reaction on surgical material was positive to desmin and smooth muscle actin. Molecular genetic analysis revealed that tumor harbored 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 copy number variations (CNVs) or tumor specific single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in TP53, RB1, and PTEN genes were present. We hypothesize that chromoanasynthesis in 12q13.11-q21.2 could be a trigger of observed CIN in this tumor.

Primary Stromal Breast Sarcoma with Concomitant Contralateral Carcinoma: A Rare Case from Syria.

Project description:Bilateral breast cancers are rare cases encountered and are usually the same type in both sides. Only very few cases were reported to have different histological types of neoplasia involving sarcoma. Moreover, sarcomas rarely originate from the breast as a primary lesion whereas the common presentation is having angiosarcoma following radiotherapy. In this report, we present a rare case of a Syrian 43-year-old woman having two distinct primary lesions in the breasts: invasive ductal carcinoma and contralateral stromal sarcoma.

Synchronous uterine adenocarcinoma and leiomyosarcoma: A rare case report causing a clinical conundrum.

Project description:IntroductionSynchronous gynecologic primary cancers are uncommon. When present, the most frequent malignancies consist of endometrial and ovarian carcinomas. Here we report an exceedingly rare case of concurrent uterine adenocarcinoma and leiomyosarcoma.Case presentationA 60 year-old female presented with four years of postmenopausal bleeding. An endometrial sampling showed grade 2 endometrioid adenocarcinoma. She proceeded with hysterectomy that contained an anterior endometrial mass and a posterior myometrial mass. The final pathology demonstrated concurrent uterine adenocarcinoma and leiomyosarcoma.DiscussionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case of simultaneous uterine adenocarcinoma and leiomyosarcoma. As this presentation is infrequent with limited literature, this caused a clinical management conundrum. Unfortunately, the follow-up PET scan suggested possible recurrence or metastasis three months after the surgery.ConclusionSimultaneous uterine adenocarcinoma and leiomyosarcoma is an exceptionally rare event. As the experience is limited, a multidisciplinary approach in managing these patients may be the best option currently available.

A Rare Complex BRAF Mutation Involving Codon V600 and K601 in Primary Cutaneous Melanoma: Case Report.

Project description:BRAF is one of the most common mutated kinases detected in human cancer, particularly in cases of primary cutaneous melanomas (PCM). Mutations of the BRAF proto-oncogene, at the p.V600 codon, has been detected in more than 50% of primary and metastatic melanoma cells in clinical samples. In addition to the most frequent BRAF p.V600E mutation, corresponding to the single base pair substitution c.1799T>A, rarer mutations, within and outside the V600 codon, have been described. Expectedly, BRAF and MEK inhibitors (or their combination) have been poorly explored as potential therapeutic strategies in metastatic melanomas harboring this rare mutation. By using a set of sequencing techniques and immunohistochemistry, this work reports the genomic and clinical features of two melanoma patients showing a rare complex mutation affecting codon V600 and K601 of the BRAF gene, leading to a V600E2; K601I change. Specifically, these two patients show a distinct clinical behavior and significantly differ in their responses to BRAF and MEK inhibitors. Indeed, although this treatment has proven to be effective and safe in both cases, the observed variability between the two patients resulted as a direct consequence of the baseline extent of brain involvement, intracranial treatment failure as well as on the PTEN status.
