Background: Sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary is a rare benign neoplasm that is usually unilateral in menstruating women with a mean age of 27.

Case: An 11-year-old girl presented with asymptomatic bilateral sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovaries prior to menarche. We describe the clinical, radiologic and histologic findings with reference to other reported cases.

Conclusion: We herein report a unique case of bilateral sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovaries arising in a premenarchal girl.

Introduction And Importance: Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen is a rare benign vascular lesion arising from red pulp of spleen with unknown etiopathogenesis. It is a non-neoplastic condition that affects the spleen only; not described in other sites except one case reported in adrenal gland. Epidemiologically it has slight female predilection.

Sclerosing adenosis (SA) is a subtype of adenosis characterized by proliferative adenosis and stromal sclerosis with distortion of the terminal ductal lobular unit. Although SA is the most prevalent benign breast condition among middle-aged women, it may be associated with a two-fold increase in breast cancer risk. Microscopic findings of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in a SA (SA-DCIS) may mimic microinvasive carcinoma or even invasive carcinoma, which may result in overtreatment by a breast surgeon.

Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary glands.

Virchows Arch

November 2024

Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, Charles University, Pilsen, Czech Republic.

Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma (SMEC) of the salivary glands is a rare variant of low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma with scanty cellular atypia characterized by marked fibrosis/sclerosis and a rich inflammatory infiltrate. Herein, we report 25 unpublished cases of SMEC, two of them with prominent eosinophilia (2/25; 8%) and three with abundant IgG4-positive plasma cells (3/25; 12%). In our series of salivary SMEC, molecular analysis using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or next-generation sequencing (NGS) provided evidence of MAML2 gene rearrangement in 18 cases of the 21 analyzable cases tested (86%), while this gene locus was intact in 3 cases (14%).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on improving diagnostic accuracy for pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) by analyzing 79 confirmed cases from Zhengzhou University between 2015 and 2023.
  • The analysis revealed a predominance of females, with typical age around 47 years, and noted that 5 cases were initially misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma and 1 as carcinoid.
  • Key diagnostic features include the observation of dual-cell populations within the tumor and specific histological characteristics such as glandular spaces and surface cell types; recognizing these can help prevent misdiagnosis in needle biopsy specimens.

Triple treatment therapy for congenital stromal iris cyst.

Article Synopsis
  • Iris cysts can cause a range of serious eye issues, so their complete removal is crucial to prevent recurrence and improve patient outcomes.
  • A new three-step technique was developed for managing iris cysts, which includes aspiration, wall removal, and cauterization while minimizing tissue damage.
  • This minimally invasive approach led to fewer complications, no reported recurrences in six months, and overall better visual outcomes compared to more aggressive treatments.
