The patient is a one-year-old girl referred to the hospital for an enlarged head after a 1.5-month history of two falls, followed by polydipsia, polyuria, and slow movement and growth. Three subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the brain revealed nodular lesions disseminated in the brain parenchyma and intraventricular ependyma, resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus. Thoracic and abdominopelvic sonography showed no additional lesions. The preliminary diagnosis was a primary or metastatic neoplasm or infection...

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare and serious complication of kidney transplantation (KT), with 85% of cases being of B cell lineage. We present a case of T cell PTLD (T-PTLD) that rapidly progressed to liver failure, septic shock, and death despite various therapeutic interventions. A 50-year-old woman underwent ABO- and human leukocyte antigen-compatible preemptive living donor KT for diabetic endstage kidney disease under basiliximab induction therapy. During routine monitoring, 2 months after KT, her Epstein-Barr (EB) viral load was found to be elevated to 318,443 copies/mL...

Peritoneal metastasis from breast cancer is a relatively rare life-threatening condition. The gold standard for diagnosing peritoneal metastasis is a direct peritoneal biopsy. In this report, we describe an interesting case of peritoneal inflammation mimicking peritoneal metastasis in a patient with breast cancer, as confirmed by laparoscopic peritoneal biopsy. A 45-year-old woman with a history of right breast cancer presented with a peritoneal wall mass seen on an abdominal computed tomography (CT) in routine follow-up...

Lymphangiomas are benign lesions of vascular origin with lymphatic differentiation, most commonly found in the head and neck. Generalized lymphangiomatosis is a very rare condition in adults, which is characterized by a diffuse proliferation of lymphatic vessels. The lymphangioma is composed of lymphatic endothelium-lined cystic spaces. This condition can be histologically differentiated from other vascular disorders such as cavernous or capillary hemangioma. However, many cases of lymphangioma can be confused with other vascular disorders, because of overlapping histologic findings...

Post-surgery recurrence of meningiomas with multiple extracranial metastases is rare. Currently, information on extracranial metastases is limited, and no clear predictors and standardized treatment protocols can be applied clinically. Herein, we report a case of meningioma that recurred after two surgeries and had multiple distant metastases. Computed tomography revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the para-aortic arch, left lower lung region, retroperitoneum, and abdominopelvic region, as well as soft tissue mass-like lesions under the liver capsule in the right lobe of the liver...

Introduction Accurate diagnosis of deep-seated abdominopelvic masses is crucial to distinguish malignant from non-malignant lesions for proper treatment and prognosis. Ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (USG-FNAC) is a cost-effective and straightforward procedure that offers rapid diagnosis, facilitating early initiation of treatment. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of USG-FNAC in comparison to the biopsy diagnosis of various abdominopelvic masses in a resource-limited setting...

RATIONALE: The function and use of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) has developed in recent years, particularly in distinguishing malignant from benign masses. It is a generally safe method that can be completed without any uncommon complications. Here, although no complications from EUS-FNB were noted, we report about an unexpected catecholamine crisis that occurred after EUS-FNB. PATIENTS CONCERNS: A 60-year-old man visited an outpatient clinic with an incidental diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass on his last abdominopelvic computed tomography (APCT) scan taken at the time of a previous liver abscess treatment...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are a group of soft tissue neoplasms with a predilection for the lungs and abdominopelvic cavity, characterized by a mixture of fasciitis-like, compact spindle cells, hypocellular fibrous histologic patterns, and distinctive molecular features. Due to their unspecified symptoms and non-specific radiologic presentation, the histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of a biopsy specimen is crucial for the diagnosis. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with intermittent hemoptysis diagnosed with a pulmonary IMT...

OBJECTIVES: Heterotopic ossification (HO), which occurs when bone tissue forms outside the skeleton, is extremely rare in rectal cancer. Adenocarcinoma is the histological type of all reported primary colorectal cancers with HO. However, in the present case, we observed areas of adenocarcinoma with squamous cell carcinoma-like differentiation. Here we conducted histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses to identify the mechanisms of HO development, to differentiate between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma-like phenotypes, and to understand the associated prognostic implications...

Endosalpingiosis is a pathologic phenomenon in which non-neoplastic fallopian tube epithelium implants in ectopic locations. It is an uncommon and poorly understood condition, with most cases occurring within the abdominopelvic cavity. Cutaneous presentations of endosalpingiosis are even more rare, with only six cases described in international literature to-date. This report describes an additional case of cutaneous endosalpingiosis. The lesion arose within the scar tissue of a Pfannenstiel incision from 4 years prior in a 24-year old, previously healthy African-American female...

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem idiopathic disease that can affect virtually any organ of the human body. However, genitourinary tract involvement is rare. We describe the case of a 33-year-old man with post-coital right scrotal pain. Scrotal ultrasound showed two vascularized nodular lesions in the right testicle and one in the left. A thoracic and abdominopelvic computed tomography scan showed micronodular infiltrate in the liver, spleen, lungs, and millimetric retroperitoneal and iliac lymph nodes. Levels of alpha-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin beta were normal...

Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common malignancy in young and middle-aged men. Spontaneous primary testicular tumor regression, or testicular tumor burn-out, is a rare clinical phenomenon where extragonadal metastatic lesions are observed concurrently with the spontaneous regression of the primary testicular germ cell tumors. Here, we describe the case of a 36-year-old male who presented to our hospital with left-sided abdominal pain and testicular swelling and was found to have significant retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy on his abdominopelvic CT scan...

A man in his 60s underwent percutaneous biopsy and cryoablation of a right upper pole clear cell renal cell carcinoma followed by repeat cryoablation 8 months later for possible residual disease. The patient was followed with imaging with documented stability for 19 months after repeat ablation. However, imaging at 32 months demonstrated intrahepatic nodular enhancing lesions along the initial percutaneous biopsy and ablation tract, consistent with metastatic implantation. The patient underwent repeat percutaneous biopsy and two rounds of microwave ablation for treatment of the intrahepatic implants, with no residual disease at 10 months postablation...

INTRODUCTION: Colonic lipomas are common mesenchymal tumours. They are usually asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed during endoscopic or radiological examinations. Taking into account their typical endoscopic and radiological features and benign nature, tissue sampling, resection or follow-up are generally not required. CASE REPORT: A 61-year-old woman with poor surgical fitness presented with colonic subocclusion and lower gastrointestinal bleeding. A colonoscopy performed 1 month earlier showed a large polypoid lesion with necrotic and ulcerated areas occupying the lumen of the proximal ascending colon with inconclusive histology...
