Article Synopsis
  • The pancreas is a common site for metastasis from renal carcinoma, but it's rarely impacted by ovarian carcinoma.
  • Metastatic ovarian cancer in the pancreas usually leads to symptoms like epigastric pain.
  • The case study discusses a patient who developed pancreatic metastases 13 years after having surgery for bilateral serous ovarian carcinoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Extra-medullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare type of tumor, primarily found in the head and neck area, particularly the paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx.
  • Diagnosis of EMP requires histological confirmation of a single plasma cell lesion, minimal plasma cells in the bone marrow, and no significant organ damage typical of multiple myeloma.
  • A case study of a 55-year-old male with recurrent nosebleeds led to the discovery of an EMP in the nasopharynx, confirmed through endoscopy and MRI, along with pathology and bone marrow analyses.

Lymphoma encompasses a range of cancers originating in the lymphatic system, categorized into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma classically present as nodal disease, whereas non-Hodgkin lymphoma tends to involve extranodal regions. While it can be part of a systemic lymphoma, isolated nodal involvement is not uncommon.

Synovialosarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor with soft tissue predilection, metastasizing to various organs, including the lung. Primary pulmonary involvement is rare and requires histological examination for confirmation. In early stages, the treatment is surgical followed by radiotherapy to avoid recurrence, while there's no consensus in chemotherapy.

Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma (PHL) is a rare malignant tumor, which originates from smooth muscles. The imaging features are nonspecific and the diagnosis is often delayed until the tumor reaches a large size, which leads often to a dismal prognosis. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient who was complaining about abdominal pain for 2 months.

The main metastatic sites of renal cancer are the lungs, bone, liver, and brain. Dissemination of clear cell renal carcinoma to the rectum is very rare, with only a few sporadic cases published in the literature. The clinical presentation is usually dominated by lower gastrointestinal haemorrhage.

Rectal cancer Is a Common malignant pathology; its usual spread in volves the liver and lungs. The occurrence of renal metastases is exceptional. CT scanning aims to evaluate extension and may incidentally reveal a renal mass, which can be better characterized through MRI and ultrasound.

Spontaneous urinoma is a rare urological complication that can occur following acute urinary obstruction. It involves a collection of urine that typically forms around the kidney as a result of rupture of the fornix. There are several causes of acute urinary stasis, including lithiasis, tumors, prostatic hypertrophy, and others.

Adenomyoepithelioma represents a rare tumor of the breast characterized by biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Owing to its nonspecific clinical presentation, the rarity, and the morphological pitfalls in differential diagnosis, the diagnosis may be extremely difficult especially on limited samples such as core needle biopsy; thus, the diagnosis is histological, which is confirmed by the specificities of the immunohistochemical analyses. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old female who presented a benign adenomyoepithelioma diagnosed on core needle biopsy, review the clinicopathological features of breast adenomyoepithelioma diagnosed on core needle biopsy, and discuss the useful clues to prompt accurate diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Rectal carcinoma metastasizing to skeletal muscle is uncommon, with only 30 cases reported since 1970.
  • A case study presents a middle-aged man diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma three months prior.
  • A subcutaneous mass in his left proximal buttock was identified and confirmed through histological analysis as a metastatic lesion from the original rectal cancer.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare tumor that typically originates from secretory glands, most commonly found in the salivary glands. However, it can also develop as a primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma, which appears identical under the microscope to adenoid cystic carcinoma originating in other tissues. Distinguishing between primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma and extracutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma with cutaneous metastases is crucial for determining the prognosis and appropriate management of the condition.

Perirenal hematoma is a common complication of traumatism and renal procedures such as nephrostomy, angiography, and lithotripsy. It may constitute a challenging diagnosis in a pre-existing tumor context or in case of an atypical imaging appearance. We present a female patient followed for cervix cancer, who developed bilateral perirenal hematoma with an atypical MRI appearance evoking a malignant tumor.

Neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC) is an uncommon and malignant breast lesion. The absence of proper testing for this type of breast cancer carcinoma exacerbates this paucity. Additionally, only scant evidence of these tumors is present because of the repeated revisions in their diagnostic criteria throughout time.

Article Synopsis
  • Skin metastasis is an uncommon issue that can arise in patients with pulmonary carcinoma, showing a range of symptoms including skin nodules.
  • A case study of a 66-year-old man highlights this rare skin manifestation and its clinical features.
  • The report focuses on using ultrasound, CT, and pathology to help diagnose pulmonary carcinoma through its appearance in the skin.

The fistulization of a hepatic hydatid cyst to the duodenum is an extremely rare case demonstrated in computed tomography and confirmed surgically. We reported a case of 56 years-old woman representing this unusual complication. We show, through this work, the importance of radiological signs that can help to make the diagnosis before surgery.

Osteoblastoma is a rare benign tumor arising predominantly in the vertebrae or long tubular bones. Its naso-sinusian origin is rare and can be responsible for ophthalmological complications [1]. We report the case of 19-yeaold patient admitted to the Ophthalmology department for progressive right exophthalmia and ptosis evolving over 8 months.

Takayasu's arteritis exposes to complications of varying severity, such as arterial stenosis, thrombosis, and more rarely aneurysms. Aortic dissection is a rare complication of Takayasu's disease, reported in few times in the literature, only 7 of which concern the abdominal aorta. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman followed for Takayasu disease for 15 years, who presented an asymptomatic and chronic dissection of the abdominal subrenal aorta.
