A rare cause of hemoptysis: Primitive pulmonary synovial sarcoma.

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.

An unusual metastatic site of renal cell carcinoma: A case report.

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.

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma with lung metastasis: A case report with literature review.

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.

Neuroendocrine breast carcinoma: The importance of the correlation between histological and radiological findings.

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.

Omental infarction found incidentally during metastatic workup: A report of 2 cases.

Omental infarction is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain that can occur in different several locations. We report 2 cases of omental infarction diagnosed at computed tomography (CT) scan performed as part of routine oncological surveillance, one right-sided and the other left sided. This paper illustrates the range of CT scan findings and highlights the important clinical implications of this radiological diagnosis.

Male breast myofibroblastoma: Imaging features and ultrasound-guided core biopsy diagnosis.

Mammary myofibroblastoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that typically presents in older men and women. Less commonly, these benign tumors may also occur in soft tissues located outside of the breast, in which case they are referred to as mammary-type myofibroblastomas. The histologic composition of this benign spindle cell tumor can be markedly varied.

Not to be confused, this is a pleural fibroma: Case report and literature review.

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare mesenchymal tumors. The diagnosis is often made incidentally. We report the case of 65 year old patient consulting for dry cough evolving for 1 year.

A tumor association to be aware: endometrial cancer and colon cancer in relation to Lynch syndrome.

lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with incomplete penetration caused by a germline mutation in one of the genes of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair system (MMR) namely: mutL homolog 1 (MLH1), mutS homolog 2 (MSH2), mutS homolog 6 (MHS6), post-meiotic segregation increased 1 homolog 2 (PMS2) or the EpCAM (Epithelial CellAdhesionMolecule) gene, which causes the inactivation of MSH2. Patients with this syndrome have a high relative risk of developing cancers at a young age, led by colorectal cancer (CRC) and endometrial cancer in females. The diagnosis is suspected when the patient's personal and family history meets the Amsterdam or Bethesda criteria.

Appendiceal mucocele with pseudomyxoma peritonei mimicking ovarian tumor with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Appendiceal mucocele with unprompted pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare malignant tumor, which is difficult to diagnose before surgery. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman, and subsequently discuss the clinical and imaging presentation of mucoceles. Findings on CT scan suggested 2 diagnoses: appendiceal mucocele with pseudomyxoma peritonei and malignant ovarian tumor with peritoneal carcinosis.

Second primary squamous cell carcinoma of nasal cavity after successful curative radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer of the cavum (UCNT).

After nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment, secondary malignant tumors of the nasal cavities in the irradiated zone are extremely rare, with an estimated frequency of 0.15%-0.75%.

An etiology of ground - glass images during COVID-19: pneumonia.

pneumonia is a common pathology in HIV-infected but also in uninfected immunocompromised individuals. The pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) is a new type of coronavirus disease caused by SARS-COV-2, and the chest imaging is often used as complementary tool in patients' evaluation. The imaging finding is similar with many pulmonary pathologies.

Liver metastasis mimicking an abscess.

Hepatic metastases from carcinoid tumours are typically solid, hypervascular lesions on imaging. The cystic form, mimicking an abscess, is extremely rare. We report a case of a 48-year-old female presenting with a large hepatic mass that was diagnosed as a hepatic abscess, but the ultrasound-guided biopsy showed well-differentiated grade 1 neuroendocrine tumour.

Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma mimicking ovarian cancer.

Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) and peritoneal carcinomatosis have similar computed tomography imaging features. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a known metastatic site for many malignancies and particularly gastrointestinal tract and ovarian cancers. Also, DMPM can masquerade as an ovarian epithelial neoplasm, with very similar clinical presentation and an overlap in imaging findings.

An unusual cause of peritonitis: Perforation of a gastric carcinoma.

Gastric carcinoma perforation is an uncommon consequence that is often missed during the preoperative stage. Perforation may occur at any stage of cancer, but it is more common in late stages. It can also happen early in the illness.

A rare case of pancreatic metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Metastases to the pancreas are rare in general and scares in cases of lungs primary lesion. They are discovered incidentally in most cases. Data on their incidence, diagnosis, prognosis and management remain insufficient.

Splenic metastasis from neuroendocrine tumor of the stomach: A case report.

Splenic metastasis is extremely rare, and neuroendocrine tumor of the stomach represents one of the rarest primary sources. The present study aimed to describe a rare case of an endocrine tumor of the stomach revealed by a splenic metastasis. We report a rare case of a 40 -year-old who presented a pain in her left hypochondriac, associated to sensation of heaviness.

Klatskin tumor presenting as unresectable perihilar hepatic mass: A case report.

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare liver tumor with three types: intrahepatic, extrahepatic, and perihilar, which alone account for about 50% of cases. The diagnosis is late with a poor prognosis. Imaging through Bili MRI and CT scan plays an essential role in the classification and staging of tumors for therapeutic management.
