Rare lipomatous tumor of the posterior mediastinum in children.

ABSTRACT: The mediastinum is a unique anatomic area containing various structures and pluripotent cells, which allow for the development of a range of tumors. We report two pediatric cases of a lipomatous tumor of the posterior mediastinum. Complete surgical excision of the mass in each was achieved through a lateral thoracotomy. Histopathologic findings showed a lipoma in one case and a lipoblastoma in the other. A lipomatous tumor in the posterior mediastinum is extremely rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult. When an operative plan is being considered, the presence of a potentially malignant tumor should be kept in mind.

A Rare Case of Lipomatous Hypertrophy of the Interventricular Septum.

Project description:Asymmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to interventricular septum hypertrophy is usually considered a typical phenotype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In rare cases other conditions such as tumors or lipomatous hypertrophy of the interventricular septum may have a similar presentation. We present a case of a male patient who presented for routine cardiology work up and was diagnosed of having ventricular septal hypertrophy secondary to localized lipomatous hypertrophy.

Arthroscopic Excision of Angio-Fibro-Lipomatous Hamartoma of the Knee: A Rare Case Report.

Project description:Angio-fibro-lipomatous hamartoma is a benign adipose tissue tumor very rarely seen in musculoskeletal distribution, and its incidence in the knee joint has never been reported. The patient in our case presented with knee pain of 2 years' duration, following blunt trauma. Preoperatively, veno-lymphatic malformation/hemangioma was considered as the diagnosis. Only after arthroscopic excision biopsy, histopathological examination, retrospective radiological analysis, and a review of literature, we were able to diagnose this rare condition. The histopathological picture of this benign adipose tissue tumor contained a mixture of mature adipose tissue and fibrous and vascular tissues. Here, in this case report, we discuss about PTEN gene causing PTEN hamartoma of soft tissue and angiolipoma presentations and its variants.

US and MDCT diagnosis of a rare cause of haematuria in children: Posterior nutcracker syndrome.

Project description:Posterior nutcracker syndrome is caused by compression of the left renal vein between the abdominal aorta and the vertebral column. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl with vague left loin pain, mild haematuria and proteinuria. Diagnosis of this rare syndrome was achieved using color Doppler US and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography.

Rare copy number variants implicated in posterior urethral valves.

Project description:The cause of posterior urethral valves (PUV) is unknown, but genetic factors are suspected given their familial occurrence. We examined cases of isolated PUV to identify novel copy number variants (CNVs). We identified 56 cases of isolated PUV from all live-births in New York State (1998-2005). Samples were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmni2.5 microarrays. Autosomal and sex-linked CNVs were identified using PennCNV and cnvPartition software. CNVs were prioritized for follow-up if they were absent from in-house controls, contained ? 10 consecutive probes, were ? 20 Kb in size, had ? 20% overlap with variants detected in other birth defect phenotypes screened in our lab, and were rare in population reference controls. We identified 47 rare candidate PUV-associated CNVs in 32 cases; one case had a 3.9 Mb deletion encompassing BMP7. Mutations in BMP7 have been associated with severe anomalies in the mouse urethra. Other interesting CNVs, each detected in a single PUV case included: a deletion of PIK3R3 and TSPAN1, duplication/triplication in FGF12, duplication of FAT1--a gene essential for normal growth and development, a large deletion (>2 Mb) on chromosome 17q that involves TBX2 and TBX4, and large duplications (>1 Mb) on chromosomes 3q and 6q. Our finding of previously unreported novel CNVs in PUV suggests that genetic factors may play a larger role than previously understood. Our data show a potential role of CNVs in up to 57% of cases examined. Investigation of genes in these CNVs may provide further insights into genetic variants that contribute to PUV.

Bayesian detection of causal rare variants under posterior consistency.

Project description:Identification of causal rare variants that are associated with complex traits poses a central challenge on genome-wide association studies. However, most current research focuses only on testing the global association whether the rare variants in a given genomic region are collectively associated with the trait. Although some recent work, e.g., the Bayesian risk index method, have tried to address this problem, it is unclear whether the causal rare variants can be consistently identified by them in the small-n-large-P situation. We develop a new Bayesian method, the so-called Bayesian Rare Variant Detector (BRVD), to tackle this problem. The new method simultaneously addresses two issues: (i) (Global association test) Are there any of the variants associated with the disease, and (ii) (Causal variant detection) Which variants, if any, are driving the association. The BRVD ensures the causal rare variants to be consistently identified in the small-n-large-P situation by imposing some appropriate prior distributions on the model and model specific parameters. The numerical results indicate that the BRVD is more powerful for testing the global association than the existing methods, such as the combined multivariate and collapsing test, weighted sum statistic test, RARECOVER, sequence kernel association test, and Bayesian risk index, and also more powerful for identification of causal rare variants than the Bayesian risk index method. The BRVD has also been successfully applied to the Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction (EOMI) Exome Sequence Data. It identified a few causal rare variants that have been verified in the literature.

Double trouble: A rare case of posterior urethral valve and Cobb's collar.

Project description:Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in boys. Cobb's collar, a rare narrowing of the bulbar urethra, is one of the lesser-known causes of congenital urethral obstruction. We present a case of both congenital anomalies occurring concomitantly, in a preterm baby presenting with urinary ascites.

Radical surgical resection of giant Angiosarcoma of the posterior Mediastinum: A rare neoplasm with rare presentation as epigastric pain.

Project description:Angiosarcoma of the Posterior Mediastinum is a rare entity. We herein report a case of a giant posterior mediastinal Angiosarcoma. A 54-year female presented with a one-year history of epigastric pain. Her upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy revealed no abnormality. Chest x-Ray showed a shadow in the hilar area. A computed tomographic scan of the Thorax (CT) and MRI Scan showed a mass in the Posterior Mediastinum. CT-guided biopsy revealed the tumor of vascular origin. The tumor was completely resected. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. After 14 months follow up patient is disease-free, and a CT scan of the chest showed no recurrence.

Scrotal abscess as a manifestation of posterior duodenal perforation; a very rare presentation.

Project description:Posterior perforation of duodenal ulcers is very rare; the infection may spread from the retroperitoneal space to the scrotum. A 75-year-old male presented with painful right scrotal swelling for 2 days associated with fever. During abdominal examination there was abdominal tenderness and scrotal swelling and tenderness. CT scan of the abdomen showed large amount of air collection in the retroperitoneal space extending to the right scrotum with contrast media passing to the retroperitoneum and right scrotum. Laparotomy done and there was a perforation in the posterior wall of the duodenum, suturing done and right scrotal abscess drained.

Cutaneous Angioleiomyoma - A Rare Cause of Posterior Heel Pain: A Case Report.

Project description:Heel pain is a common presentation in outpatient clinics. Here, we report a 69-year-old woman who complaint about a painful nodule on her left posterior heel. There was no history of trauma. The lesion developed during ten weeks without any bleeding or ulceration. On examination, we observed a subcutaneous firm nodule of about 1 cm in diameter. The lesion was hypoechoic in diagnostic sonography suggesting a fibromatous tumour, which was removed surgically. Histologic investigations confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous angioleiomyoma. The occurrence of this benign tumour on the heel is quite uncommon but obvious a possible cause for heel pain. During follow-up, no recurrence was observed.
