Treatment issues related to this uncommon clinical situation are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/108. Pelvic malignant mixed mesodermal tumor of uncertain origin: a case report.Extra-uterine, and especially extragenital, malignant mixed mesodermal tumors (MMMT) are very rare. A large intrapelvic tumor resected from a 56-year-old woman was investigated with morphological and immunohistochemical methods. A large, soft and fragile tumor was located in the pelvic space. The tumor showed high cellularity and was biphasic; it consisted of an admixture of adenocarcinoma and various kinds of sarcomas. The latter were comprised of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, pleomorphic sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma. The pleomorphic sarcoma showed a storiform pattern. The periodic acid-Schiff-positive eosinophilic hyaline droplets and globules in multinucleated giant cells revealed a typical ring-like or peripheral staining for alpha-1-antitrypsin and alpha-1 antichymotrypsin. We considered this case to be pelvic MMMT of uncertain origin, heterologous type.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/108. Cancer protection in xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V).We describe herein a brother and sister diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V) in early adult life, who presented with increased sensitivity to sunlight and with cutaneous carcinomas on sun-damaged skin. The 27-year-old male farmer (Case 1.) was diagnosed with advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and multiple actinic lesions. Surgical removal of these lesions was performed. Three months later he died of multiple pelvic metastases of SCC. His 29-year-old sister (Case 2.) was operated on for different tumors, histologically SCC-s or basal cell carcinomas (BCC), or praecancerous conditions many times. After a two year interval she was treated with low dose isotretinoin (2 mg/body weight). diagnosis of XP-V was based on unscheduled dna analysis (USD) and on clinical symptoms. We observed that during the long lasting isotretinoin treatment the tumor frequency dropped to a quarter. Therefore, the isotretinoin treatment seems to be a good approach for cancer prevention in conditions with high predisposition to skin cancer, such as in XP-V.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.60512782676165keywords = carcinoma, squamous cell (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/108. Postirradiation sarcoma after external beam radiation therapy for localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate: report of three cases.We report 3 cases of postirradiation sarcoma that arose in the pelvis 8, 15, and 16 years after completion of external beam radiation therapy (RT) for localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Although such cases must be regarded as extremely rare, postirradiation sarcoma should be considered as a potential cause of pelvic pain developing after RT.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/108. Late pelvic recurrence of nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma after negative retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.We report a case of pathologic Stage I teratoma recurring in the pelvis as embryonal carcinoma 12 years after radical orchiectomy and bilateral retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND). The patient received three cycles of chemotherapy (cisplatin, etoposide, bleomycin) followed by complete surgical excision of the pelvic mass. Successful treatment of these rare late recurrences usually requires chemotherapy and complete surgical excision. Pelvic relapse may potentially result from incomplete iliac node resection at the time of RPLND, altered lymphatic drainage from an incompletely resected spermatic cord, or a second primary extragonadal tumor focus. Our case emphasizes the importance of meticulous surgical technique during RPLND and the necessity for follow-up beyond 5 years in patients with testicular cancer.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/108. Catheterized urine cytology of mucinous carcinoma arising in the renal pelvis. A case report.BACKGROUND: Primary mucinous carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare tumor; therefore, criteria for cytologic diagnosis of this tumor have not been established. CASE: An 81-year-old woman suffered from macrohematuria for six months and was found to have a tumor in the right kidney by radiographic examination. Catheterized urine obtained from the right renal ureter was viscous and contained spherical clusters of cells with occasionally vacuolated, lacy and basophilic cytoplasm. In the small to medium-sized nuclei, chromatin was coarse and granular, and the nuclear membrane was thin and nearly smooth. Large nucleoli were evident in some of the nuclei. These findings were consistent with adenocarcinoma possibly of mucinous type. CONCLUSION: Preoperative diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma is possible by cytologic findings of catheterized urine together with clinical data.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/108. Parotid lymph node metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the urachus.The parotid gland and its lymph nodes are frequent sites of metastases from head and neck cancers. However, metastasis from a distant primary below the clavicle is unusual. These originate from a variety of sites, most commonly the lung, kidney and breast. A case of a 59-year-old woman with parotid lymph node metastasis from an adenocarcinoma of the urachus, diagnosed on the basis of two discrete periparotid masses on CT and the patient's history, is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/108. Primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum: CT-pathologic correlation.We present the CT findings of three cases of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum. All patients presented with massive ascites. CT of the abdomen and pelvis showed omental caking in all patients. The parietal peritoneum of the pelvis showed diffuse enhancement with nodular thickening in all patients. No calcification was noted in the omental and parietal peritoneal masses, although psammoma bodies were present microscopically in one case. The ovaries were normal in size but showed a fine enhancing surface nodularity similar to the pelvic peritoneum. The CT findings of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum are nonspecific, but this diagnosis should be considered when peritoneal carcinomatosis is seen on CT with normal-sized ovaries in the absence of other primary malignant neoplasms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/108. An unusual case of choriocarcinoma following live term pregnancy.Post-term choriocarcinoma is an infrequent event with poor prognosis. The diagnosis is usually delayed due to failure to recognise the mode of presentation of this disease. Being a rare occurrence, limited data is available regarding its clinical features. The choriocarcinoma in our patient presented as an isolated huge pedunculated growth over the uterine serosa without intrauterine involvement and distant metastasis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/108. Lymphocyst: ultrasound diagnosis and urologic management.Three cases of lymphocysts occurred in a series of 97 patients undergoing extension pelvic urological operations, an incidence rate of 3.1 per cent. This is the first report of this complication after urological lymphadenectomy. awareness of the entity is important to urologists since lymphatic staging operations for prostate and bladder carcinoma are widely used to help plan definitive therapy. Athough this complication is rare after renal transplantation it may cause significant interference with graft function. The etiology, symptoms, findings, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are reviewed. Echography is presented as an ideal technique to diagnose the condition and to guide in its management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = carcinoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
