Management of Spigelian hernia caused by necrobiotic fibroma of the uterus in a pregnant woman

INTRODUCTIONSpigelian hernias are a rare type of hernia through the Spigelian aponeurosis. Spigelian hernias are very uncommon and constitute only 0.12% of all abdominal wall hernias. These hernias are located in the aponeurosis of the internal oblique muscle and transverse abdominal muscle.PRESENTATION OF CASEA 30-year-old woman at 28 weeks’ gestation was admitted to the obstetrics department due to pain and swelling in the anterior abdominal right region. On inspection, we suspected either a lipoma, a spontaneous hematoma, a tumor of the abdominal wall, or a Spigelian hernia. A Doppler USG and abdominal and pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed necrobiotic fibroma of the uterus in Spigelian hernia. The patient was started on dual analgesic and corticotherapy. Overall, the patient improved one week after the acute episode and had no further pain during her gynecologic follow-up.DISCUSSIONWe have reported a first case of Spigelian hernia that was complicated by uterine fibroid. The clinical presentation varies, depending on the contents of the hernial sac and the degree of herniation. MRI is the preferred method for accurately identifying masses of the abdominal wall. Our treatment options were based on the extent of the acute-phase reaction and the venous thrombosis.CONCLUSIONIt is important to differentiate this rare Spigelian hernia from other hernias as the treatment for this hernia is medical rather than surgical. Before the final choice of treatment is made, digestive surgeons should bear this rare hernia in mind.

钙化性腱膜纤维瘤的影像学特征

目的探讨钙化性腱膜纤维瘤(CAF)的影像学特征。 方法回顾性分析襄阳市中心医院、汕头市中心医院、湖北省肿瘤医院及红河州第一人民医院放射科2005年1月至2022年5月期间经手术病理证实的12例CAF患者临床资料、影像学表现及病理组织学特点,并复习相关文献。 结果12例CAF患者中男性6例,女性6例,年龄2~75岁,其中4例位于手部,3例位于足部,3例位于髋部,1例位于跟腱,1例位于腹腔。临床上多表现为缓慢生长的无痛性肿块。X线平片多显示为非特异性软组织肿块,直径多小于3.0 cm,伴有不同程度的细小点状或结节状钙化,形态不规整,无包膜,很少观察到邻近骨质受累;CT和磁共振成像(MRI)显示病灶多靠近手掌、足部腱膜或腱鞘处,发生于肌腱内则与肌腱纵轴方向一致。 结论CAF的影像学表现具有一定特征性,结合发病部位和年龄,可提高对该病的准确诊断。     

Syndrome du canal carpien et poignet à ressaut révélant un fibrome de la gaine des fléchisseurs

The tendinous sheath fibroma (TSF) is a rare benign tumor, exceptionally responsible for carpal tunnel syndrome and “trigger” wrist: we found this association less than ten times in the English and French literature. We report the case of a 63-year-old right-handed carpenter who featured a triggering phenomenon of the right wrist during the flexion-extension movements and compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel, secondary to a TSF of the flexor digitorum superficialis. The diagnosis was suspected at the sonography and MRI, the tumor was excised and proven histologically to be a TSF. One year later, the patient remained free of symptoms.     

Fibro-Osseous Lesions of the Craniofacial Skeleton: An Update

Benign fibro-osseous lesions of the craniofacial skeleton (BFOL) are a variant group of intraosseous disease processes that share similar microscopic features characterized by hypercellular fibroblastic stroma containing various combinations of bone or cementum-like tissue and other calcified structures [1–6]. Whereas some are diagnosable histologically, most require a combined assessment of clinical, microscopic and radiologic features. Some BFOL of the craniofacial complex are unique to that location whereas others are encountered in bones from other regions. Reactive, neoplastic, developmental and dysplastic pathologic processes are included under the rubric of BFOL and treatment varies from disease to disease. This review will discuss the clinical, microscopic and radiologic aspects of the more important types of BFOL of the craniofacial complex with updated information on underlying genetic and molecular pathogenic mechanisms of disease. Four main groups of BFOLs will be addressed.     

Heterozygous FGFR1 mutation may be responsible for an incomplete form of osteoglophonic dysplasia,characterized only by radiolucent bone lesions and teeth retentions

Non-ossifying fibromas are seen in different disorders recognizable by specific features. Indeed, osteoglophonic dysplasia (OD) is characterized by radiolucent bone lesions associated with severe short stature, dysmorphism and failure of dental eruption. This syndrome is caused by heterozygous activating mutations in the immunoglobulin-like D3 domain of the FGFR1 gene, encoding a tyrosine kinase. Here, we report three patients from the same family presenting with radiolucent bone lesions and teeth retentions. Exome sequencing allowed identification of a novel mutation c.917C > T, p. Pro306Leu in exon 7 of the FGFR1 gene. Our patients present with normal stature and no severe dysmorphism. This report describes a mild form of OD and expands the phenotype related to FGFR1 mutations. These findings emphasize the need to consider FGFR1 variants in the case of multiple non-ossifying bone lesions associated with dental eruption anomalies.     

Small Central Odontogenic Fibroma Mimicking Hyperplastic Dental Follicle and Dentigerous Cyst

Central odontogenic fibroma has been defined as a benign odontogenic tumor, representing the intraosseous counterpart of a peripheral odontogenic fibroma. The odontogenic fibroma is a rare tumor. Differential diagnosis of radiolucent lesions in the molar-premolar region of mandible which involve impacted tooth may include central odontogenic fibroma, hyperplastic dental follicle, dentigerous cyst, unicystic ameloblastoma, and keratocystic odontogenic tumor. We describe an example of a small central odontogenic fibroma mimicking hyperplastic dental follicle and dentigerous cyst, resulting in uneruption of a primary tooth.
