Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with sarcoma-like mural nodule : a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT: Primary retroperitoneal cystadenomas are extremely rare. This is the first report in literature to describe a primary retroperitoneal cystadenoma with a sarcoma-like mural nodule. A 45-year-old woman complained of a left-sided abdominal mass. A computed tomography scan revealed a cystic mass with a mural nodule, which seemed to originate from the tail of the pancreas. At laparotomy the cyst was not adhered to the pancreas but localized retroperitoneally. Histologic examination showed a mucinous cystadenoma with only foci of borderline malignancy with a mural "sarcoma-like" nodule. In view of the surgical and histopathological findings, the mucinous cystadenoma was regarded as primary retroperitoneal. This case demonstrates that in the era of radiological preoperative refinement, pathological diagnosis remains of utmost importance, especially for rare cases.

A case report of unilocular cystic mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma with mural tumor nodule.

Project description:Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Classic type of MTSCC is characterized by small, elongated tubules lined by clear cuboidal or spindle cells with mucinous stroma. The neoplastic cells are always low-grade histological features. But, unclassified variants of MTSCC have also been reported, e.g., mucin-poor, papillary, high grade, and sarcomatoid variants. We present the first case of simple cyst with mural nodule exhibiting the histological features of mucin-poor MTSCC. We should be aware that MTSCC can arise in a cystic renal lesion.

Recurrent retroperitoneal Schwannomas displaying different differentiation from primary tumor: case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal Schwannomas are uncommonly found in the retroperitoneum and few of them show malignant transformation and invasion. Local recurrence are common in malignant Schwannomas with very few reports of tumor distinct differentiation at recurrences. CASE PRESENTATION: We report here a rare case of retroperitoneal schwannoma with multiple origins from retroperitoneum and pelvic wall. Pathological examination confirmed the case as a schwannoma with malignant transformation. Radical dissection of the tumors along with the sacrifice of adjacent sigmoid colon and left kidney failed to provide a cure for this patient. Due to tumor recurrence, a second and a third surgery of radical excision were performed 6 months and 17 months later after the first surgery, respectively. Histopathologic analysis identified that the recurrent tumors were different from the original schwannoma because of their smooth muscle-like differentiation. CONCLUSION: Malignant schwannomas are uncommon sarcomas with a high incidence of local recurrence. Distinct immunohistochemical staining results of the tumors at recurrence indicate their potential of smooth-muscle like differentiation. Radical excision of the tumors may provide benefit for their local recurrences.

Metastatic retroperitoneal paraganglioma: Case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors with 500 to 1600 new cases in the United States each year (1). The clinical presentation may range from asymptomatic to the classic triad of episodic diaphoresis, headache, and palpitations. Surgery is the hallmark of treatment when tumors are amenable to resection. When patients are found to have metastases, systemic therapies may be employed. In this case report, we present a patient found to have a large retroperitoneal paraganglioma with nodal metastases.

Non-functional retroperitoneal paraganglioma: A report of case with literature review.

Project description:IntroductionRetroperitoneal paragangliomas are rare tumors, they arise from ganglia along the sympathetic and parasympathetic chain. We report a rare case of a non functional paraganglioma in whom surgical resection was performed.Presentation of caseA 35 years-old female presented with chronic abdominal pain, A contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of abdomen showed a well-defined Left latero-aortic cystic retro-peritoneal surgical resection using laparotomy was performed, The patiente recovered well and was discharged three days after surgery. Histological examination and immunohistochemical revealed a retroperitoneal paraganglioma.Discussion and conclusionNon-functioning retroperitoneal paragangliomas are rare and are most often Isolated. Radiological techniques including, Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful for identifying and locating retroperitoneal paragangliomas. surgical excision is still the most effective treatment when it possible.

Recurrent giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma: Review of literature and a rare case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceRetroperitoneal liposarcomas (RPLS) are usually grow large with frequent recurrences. Complete surgical excision remains the gold standard treatment for primary and even recurrent tumours. Their prognosis depends on their histological type and grade. We report a recurrent giant de-differentiated RPLS weighing 18.55 kg which was completely excised. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the largest liposarcoma reported in the literature.Case presentationA 40 year old female presented with a gradually progressing large abdominal lump for 1year. She had had a similar large lump twice in the past and undergone excision of the tumour elsewhere. Firm non-tender mass felt all over abdomen with edema noted over abdominal wall and bilateral lower limbs. PET CT showed large heterogeneously enhancing mass occupying almost the entire abdominopelvic cavity. 50 × 40 × 40cm tumour was completely excised and biopsy showed grade 2 dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS). She is under close follow up with no recurrence at 12months.Clinical discussionDDLS have lower risk of distant metastases but have a high risk of local recurrence. The most important favourable prognostic factor in these tumours is complete resection with negative margins. Because of the ineffectiveness of current chemotherapy and the requirement of intolerably high radiation doses, surgical excision remains the most effective treatment even for the localized recurrences of RPLS.ConclusionThe dedifferentiated subtype should be suspected in locally aggressive RPLS. Close follow up with early detection of recurrences and prompt excision with negative margins lowers the risk of recurrences and improves survival.

A Giant Primary Retroperitoneal Serous Cystadenoma: Case Report and Review of Retroperitoneal Cysts.

Project description:Primary retroperitoneal serous cystadenomas (PRSCs) are rare cystic lesions whose pathogenesis is currently not well understood. Although the vast majority of tumors are benign, early recognition and resection is necessary to avoid malignant transformation, rupture, and secondary infection. Here we present the case of a 79-year-old woman who presented with confusion, visual hallucinations, and a history of fall. As part of the work-up for abdominal distension, computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis was performed, which revealed a right-sided retroperitoneal cystic lesion measuring 26.6 × 16.7 cm in size. The lesion was resected laparoscopically, and the surgical specimen measured 28 × 17 cm. Histology revealed a serous cystadenoma. The postsurgical course was uneventful, and no radiological recurrence was noted on 3 months follow-up. Very few primary retroperitoneal cystic lesions have been reported in the literature. Most lesions are benign and predominantly occur in females. They may remain asymptomatic for long periods of time and are usually discovered when they reach very large in size. In rare cases, these lesions may have malignant potential. Diagnosis of PRSC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all retroperitoneal cysts.

Incidentally discovered huge retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with successful laparoscopic management: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionRetroperitoneal cystic lesions are uncommon heterogeneous clinical entities with no definite incidence. Their clinical presentations are different and their diagnosis is challenging. The management necessitates complete surgical excision, usually via laparotomy. Recently, laparoscopic approach is being increasingly used.Case presentationA 29-year-old female patient was referred for an incidentally-discovered huge retroperitoneal cyst. Imaging studies revealed a retroperitoneal cyst, measuring 13 * 11?cm. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed a retroperitoneal cyst displacing the small bowel and the right colon to the left side. The peritoneal covering was dissected from the cyst with caution not to cause cyst rupture. The cyst was removed partially using Endobag, then aspiration of its content to facilitate its delivery. The patient had a smooth uneventful postoperative course.DiscussionThe retroperitoneal space is large, expandable space which enables retroperitoneal cystic lesions to grow asymptomatic. CT scan remains the best imaging modality. Aspiration of its content is not routinely done as its sensitivity and specificity has been reported low. Moreover, it carries the risk of leakage of the cyst content into the peritoneal space. Open surgical complete excision is the traditional management and remains of choice. However, laparoscopic management can be tried with caution not to cause content spillage. Intraoperatively, controlled aspiration of the cyst helps in its retrieval.ConclusionPrimary retoperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma is a rare clinical entity that is usually incidentally discovered. Laparoscopic excision is safe and feasible if done by an expert laparoscopic surgeon. Care should always be taken not to cause spillage of its content.
