A 53-year-old man presented for further evaluation due to microscopic hematuria and left lumbar pain. Computed tomography revealed a large tumour in the left renal pelvis with multiple metastases. Despite effective systemic chemotherapy, he developed dyspnea, and was diagnosed with cardiac tamponade. Pericardial involvement in an advanced malignancy is common, but symptomatic cardiac metastasis from urothelial carcinoma is rare. Of the reports of symptomatic cardiac metastasis from urothelial carcinoma, only 3 cases presented as cardiac tamponade. We report here a rare case of cardiac tamponade caused by a renal pelvic carcinoma with positive cytodiagnosis of pericardial effusion. We also summarize and discuss the symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of the pathological condition, and present a brief review of previously published reports. 相似文献

IntroductionGallbladder cancer is a rare tumor in the gastrointestinal tract has poor prognosis, low survival and is difficult to diagnose. The most common type of gallbladder cancer is adenocarcinoma, and the incidence of clear cell carcinoma is low. Mostly, it is difficult to determine whether the isolated tumor is a primary tumor in the gallbladder or a metastatic tumor from another region. Before accepting a clear cell carcinoma as a primary gallbladder tumor, the kidneys and other possible secondary focuses are clinically considered in terms of metastases.Presentation of caseHere, we present a rarely seen case of gallbladder clear cell carcinoma, which was diagnosed by pathological examination after the surgery.DiscussionPrior to establishing that clear cell carcinoma is a primary gallbladder cancer, it is appropriate to clinically investigate possible secondary focuses, in particular the kidneys in terms of metastasis.ConclusionOur goal in presenting this case was to emphasize the importance of taking an accurate medical history in patients with clear cell carcinoma, a rarely seen gallbladder cancer. 相似文献

Introduction and importancePrimary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a variety of extra-nodal lymphoma taking origin from testis. It accounts 5% of all testicular tumors. Metastasis may occur in contralateral testis, bone, central nervous system and rarely in skin. Herein, we present the case of testicular diffuse large B-cell malignant lymphoma with cutaneous metastasis.Case presentationA 60-year-old male presented with swollen painless solid right testis, with homolateral inguinal nodes. Testicular tumors markers were within normal range. Right radical orchidectomy was performed. Histopathological examination concluded to the diagnosis of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. Four weeks later, the patient presented alteration of general condition and multiples cutaneous centimetric lesions located in the right inguinal region. Biopsy of this lesion confirmed the diagnosis of metastases from the testicular lymphoma. The patient deceased three days later, before starting further treatment.Clinical discussionPrimary testicular lymphoma is a rare variety of testicular tumors. The prognosis is poor. Metastasis may occur in different sites such as contralateral testis, central nervous system, and skin. The prognosis is usually poor in the rare case of cutaneous metastasis.ConclusionPrimary testicular tumor is an aggressive rare variety of testicular tumors with poor prognosis. Cutaneous metastasis is rarely reported. Cutaneous lesions should be explored and suspected to be malignant. Early treatment with rapid multidisciplinary management is the key for adequate approach. 相似文献

INTRODUCTIONPrimary endocrine cell tumors in the gallbladder are uncommon, and the coexistence of an endocrine cell tumor and adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and sarcomatoid components is extremely rare.PRESENTATION OF CASEA rare case of adeno-endocrine cell carcinoma of the gallbladder in an 81-year-old woman is reported. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) revealed a hypo-echoic, solid tumor, 2.0 cm × 1.8 cm in size, at the fundus of the gallbladder. On computed tomography (CT), the tumor was well-enhanced, well-demarcated, and homogeneous. The tumor, which was papillary, protruded into the gallbladder with no direct invasion to the liver. The tumor was diagnosed as gallbladder carcinoma; its depth appeared not to pass the subserosa layer. A cholecystectomy and hepatic bed resection with regional lymph node dissection were performed. Histologically, the tumor consisted of several components, including well to poorly differentiated papillary and tubular adenocarcinoma with squamous and sarcomatoid differentiations, and endocrine cell carcinoma. Histochemical studies of these tumor cells were positive for chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and cluster of differentiation 56 (CD56). The lymph node consisted of metastatic adeno-endocrine carcinoma. The patient survived and has remained disease-free for 4 years without adjuvant chemotherapy.DISCUSSIONAdeno-endocrine cell carcinoma of the gallbladder generally has a poor prognosis.CONCLUSIONThe present case suggests that adeno-endocrine cell carcinoma with various components may be derived from a common precursor cell. This observation would require further investigation. 相似文献

ObjectiveWe evaluate presentation and outcome of patients with metastatic RCC to the gallbladder from our institution and published literature.MethodsPatients with a history of gallbladder metastasis from RCC were selected from our institution's prospective database. A systematic PubMed search was performed to identify articles describing patients with metastatic RCC to the gallbladder. The final cohort included 33 patients: 4 from our institution and 29 from 28 previously published cases. Survival analysis was conducted using log-rank Kaplan-Meier analysis.ResultsMedian patient age was 63 years and the majority of patients were male. Most patients were asymptomatic and diagnosed with gallbladder metastasis on imaging performed for surveillance or staging. The median time to gallbladder metastasis following nephrectomy was 4 years. Metastasis to the gallbladder occurred both synchronously (33%) and metachronously (67%). Of the patients with available histology, all had clear cell RCC (n = 28). Of all patients, 13 (39%) had metastasis only to the gallbladder, while 20 (61%) had additional sites of metastasis. The most common sites of additional metastasis were contralateral kidney (30%), pancreas (21%), lung (18%), adrenal (18%), and lymph nodes (9%). All patients underwent cholecystectomy. At a median follow up time of 1.5 years after cholecystectomy, 54% of patients had no evidence of disease, 14% were alive with metastasis, 23% had died from metastatic RCC, and 9% died from causes unrelated to their cancer.ConclusionGallbladder metastasis from RCC is a rare event that may occur synchronously or metachronously with most patients being asymptomatic. Clear cell carcinoma appears to be the primary pathology associated with gallbladder metastasis. High rates of bilateral RCC and pancreatic metastasis suggest novel associations in patients with RCC and gallbladder metastasis. 相似文献

Metastatic cardiac malignancies mainly come from the lung, breast, and the lymphoreticular system by direct invasion or hematogenous or lymphatic spread. Metastasis from colorectal cancer to the heart or pericardium is seldom reported and only sporadic antemortem cases have been reported. We report an unusual case of malignant pericardial effusion caused by metastatic adenocarcinoma of colon. Malignant pericardial effusion and subsequent tamponade was the earliest manifestation without any other confirmed clinical metastases. Pericardiotomy was performed to relieve the life-threatening cardiac tamponade. We report this rare case and review the literature. 相似文献

A 44-year-old man presented with symptoms and signs of cardiac tamponade. Cytologic examination of the pericardial fluid was negative for malignancy and no manifestations of primary tumor were detected. Two weeks after pericardiocentesis the patient developed constrictive pericarditis. An emergency exploratory thoracotomy revealed a thick, fibrotic pericardium firmly adherent to the underlying myocardium. Histologic examination of the pericardium showed the presence of an adenocarcinoma, suspected to be a metastatic dissemination from a primary pulmonary source. The lymphatic spread of the tumor to the heart may explain the early development of pericardial effusion without malignant cells and the later development of pericardial and epicardial thickening. Cardiac tamponade of unknown origin should prompt a search for metastatic carcinoma, including in presence of a negative cytology. 相似文献

IntroductionPrimary adenocarcinoma of appendix is a rarely diagnosed malignancy accounting for less than 6% of appendiceal neoplastic lesions and less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal malignancies. It is mostly diagnosed as an incidental finding after appendicectomy.Case summaryAn 81 year old male patient presented with bleeding per rectum in a background of previous rectal polyp, hypertension, diabetes and hypothyroidism. CECT of whole abdomen findings revealed thickening at the appendix and base of the caecum. Colonoscopy showed a sessile polypoid growth at appendicular orifice, at the base of the caecum. Laparoscopy confirmed the clinical suspicion of appendicular carcinoma and laparoscopy assisted radical right hemicolectomy was performed. Final histopathology revealed well differentiated adenocarcinoma of the appendix with no lymph node involvement (pT3N0M0).DiscussionPatients with primary adenocarcinoma of the appendix present with features similar to acute appendicitis whereas anaemia or fresh bleeding per rectum is a rare presentation. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, the extent of which will depend upon the stage. Tumours staged as T1 may be managed by appendicectomy alone provided the base is free and there are no lymphadenopathies. T2 or above require right hemicolectomy as chances of lymph node metastasis are high. Nodal involvement warrants the need for adjuvant chemotherapy. Distant metastasis to the peritoneum or liver and lungs is very rare.ConclusionWhile investigating unexplained anaemia or bleeding per rectum, full colonoscopic examination up to the appendicular orifice is important and if required, should be combined with CT scan of abdomen, to clinch the rare but possible and potentially curable diagnosis of appendicular carcinoma. 相似文献

Introduction and importanceAcute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is associated with a high mortality rate. AAC caused by metastasis to the gallbladder is rare. We report a case of AAC caused by gallbladder metastasis due to the peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer.Case presentationAn 84-year-old male visited our hospital because of epigastric pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed swelling and thickening of the gallbladder wall, but stones were not observed in the gallbladder. We performed emergency surgery with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. Laparoscopy revealed the presence of many nodules around the abdominal cavity including the hepatoduodenal ligament. Inflammation of Calot’s triangle was severe, so we performed subtotal cholecystectomy. We also resected one of the peritoneal nodules. Macroscopically, there were no stones in the gallbladder and histopathological examination revealed acute cholecystitis and existence of adenocarcinoma involving the subserosa of the gallbladder wall and the resected peritoneal nodule. After surgery, esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed Borrmann type II lesions at the antrum and gastric biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. He was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination. His postoperative course was good.Clinical discussionThe cases of AAC caused by gallbladder metastasis have been little reported in the literature. This case is advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination and AAC was thought to be caused by peritoneal dissemination from operative and histopathological findings. We successfully treated this rare case of AAC with laparoscopic surgery.ConclusionAlthough metastasis to the gallbladder is rare, it is necessary to be aware of this possibility when treating AAC. 相似文献

Surgical resection of splenic metastasis from the adenosquamous gallbladder carcinoma: A case report
IntroductionSplenic metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma is extremely rare. Specific anatomical, histological, and functional properties of spleen are believed to be responsible for the rarity of solitary splenic metastasis.Presentation of caseWe present the case of a 62-year-old female who developed metachronous splenic metastasis of adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder. We performed central bisegmentectomy of the liver for gallbladder carcinoma. The patient subsequently presented 3 months later with isolated splenic metastasis and liver metastasis. Splenectomy and partial hepatectomy was performed at this time. Histological examination confirmed metastatic adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder. No signs of recurrence were observed at 3 months after the second surgery.DiscussionAlthough splenectomy provides a potential means of radical treatment in patients with isolated splenic metastases, it should be performed with caution as splenic metastatic lesions may represent the initial clinical manifestation of systemic metastases at multiple sites. In this case, radical surgery was performed following the confirmation of no new unresectable metastatic lesions or systemic dissemination.ConclusionThis is the first report on the adenosquamous splenic metastasis from the gallbladder carcinoma. Curative resection may be the treatment of choice for prolonging survival in patients with the splenic metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma. 相似文献

Introduction and importanceAdenocarcinoma of the jejunum is a diagnostic challenge for the physician because of its extreme rareness and the fact that it classically presents with vague clinical symptoms. On the other hand, the Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is a rare clinical sign that refers to umbilical metastasis of an internal malignancy. We here report a rare case of jejunal adenocarcinoma revealed by a Sister Mary Joseph's nodule.Case presentationA 55-year-old man presented with an ulcerated umbilical tumor, which was found to be a secondary lesion of an advanced jejunal adenocarcinoma invading the transverse colon. He underwent surgical resection of the umbilical tumor and the intestinal primitive.Clinical discussionThe presence of umbilical metastasis usually represents advanced disease but can be its first manifestation. Gastro-intestinal tract tumors such as jejunal adenocarcinomas and gynecologic malignancies are the most common primary sites.ConclusionPracticians must be aware of clinical implication of Sister Mary Joseph nodule. Aggressive surgery when feasible can be beneficial for survival. 相似文献

BackgroundTraditional oncologic pattern of spread of breast cancer is metastasis to axillary lymph nodes, lung, liver and bone (Doval et al., 2006 [1]). Here we present a case of unknown synchronous breast cancer in a patient that was revealed on histopathologic assessment following elective cholecystectomy.Case summaryA 57 year old female presented for an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy secondary to biliary colic. Histopathologic assessment of the gallbladder revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma with signet ring features, consistent with metastatic lobular carcinoma. The patient went on to have a complete oncologic workup that revealed invasive ductal carcinoma with components of high grade ductal carcinoma in situ in the left breast, lobular carcinoma in the right breast, and metastatic lobular carcinoma to left and right axillary lymph nodes as well as diffuse osseous metastatic disease.ConclusionsMetastatic disease to the gallbladder found incidentally on elective cholecystectomy is a rare presentation of synchronous breast cancer. 相似文献

INTRODUCTIONInflammatory myositis as a paraneoplastic presentation of gallbladder cancer is an extremely rare event. In this paper we reported the first case of gallbladder carcinoma presented as polymyositis.PRESENTATION OF CASEA 68-year-old housewife presented with proximal muscles weakness, pain, significant decrease in force of proximal muscles, and globally decreased deep tendon reflexes. Laboratory studies revealed an anemia, increased acute phase reactants and increased serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels. Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) demonstrated mild myopathic changes. Muscle biopsy was suggestive for polymyositis. Corticosteroid therapy initiated and a meticulous search for probable underlying malignancy performed concurrently. Malignancy workup finally revealed a gallbladder tumor. Patient candidated for extended cholecystectomy. Pathologic evaluation of gallbladder tumor demonstrated a moderately differentiated carcinoma. Progressive improvement in clinical conditions and complete normalization of laboratory parameters occurred post-operatively. After 8 months of follow-up patient is still alive and in good state of health. There is no evidence of metastatic or local recurrence of tumor. Musculoskeletal complaints subsided completely.DISCUSSIONGallbladder carcinoma is a rare and usually aggressive malignancy. Its primary presentation by paraneoplastic syndromes especially in the form of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes is an extremely rare event. Some believes that increased association between inflammatory myopathy and malignancy is limited to the dermatomyositis; however, presentation of our patient as polymyositis is contrary to this. This is the first reported case of gallbladder cancer who presented with polymyositis.CONCLUSIONGallbladder cancer though rare, should be considered in patients with inflammatory myositis. 相似文献

INTRODUCTIONAdenomas of the biliary tract are uncommon. Gallbladder adenomas are generally smaller than 20 mm in size and can be classified histologically as tubular, papillary, or tubulopapillary. Villous adenoma of gallbladder is extremely rare and is considered as a premalignant condition that eventually progresses to adenocarcinoma via the adenoma–carcinoma sequence.PRESENTATION OF CASEThe clinical data including images, surgical specimen and pathological results of this gallbladder adenoma larger than 50 mm were analyzed. This huge gallbladder adenoma had unique imaging appearance, and the pathological examination revealed the lesion to be villous adenoma with mild to moderate dysplasia.DISCUSSIONThis rare huge villous adenoma of gallbladder had unique images and pathological appearance different from that of huge tubular adenoma of gallbladder and that of adenocarcinoma.CONCLUSIONLarge villous adenoma of gallbladder is a rare disease with unique imaging appearance and pathological characteristics. 相似文献

IntroductionMetastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the contralateral ureter is extremely rare. To date, only 50 cases of metastatic RCC to the ureter have been reported, among whom 6 cases occur at the contralateral site. We herein report a rare case of metastatic RCC in the contralateral ureter 4 years after radical nephrectomy.Presentation of caseA 74-year-old man presented with gross, painless hematuria for one month. Computed tomography scan confirmed that a 1.5 cm × 0.5 cm tumor occurred in the contralateral distal ureter. A 3.5 cm segment of ureter was resected and a uretero-vesical anastomosis with psoas hitch was accomplished.DiscussionThe reappearance of hematuria after radical nephrectomy is the most common manifestation of the metastasis to the bladder or ureter. The mechanism of metastasis is not clear. In pathology, vimentin and cytokeratins might help to differentiate between metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma and clear cell transitional cell carcinoma.ConclusionMetastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the contralateral ureter is rare. Early recognition is extremely important in protecting the remaining renal function and prolonging life-expectancy for post-nephrectomy patients. Complete metastectomy suitable anastomosis have been shown to improve survival. 相似文献

Although basal cell carcinoma is a very common malignancy, metastasis from this tumour is extremely rare. For this reason, many plastic surgeons, dermatologists and physicians dealing with skin malignancies consider this as a locally invasive malignancy. We present a rare case of metastatic basal cell carcinoma manifested as a bronchial tumour. This case highlights the fact that despite basal cell carcinoma’s local invasive potential, the possibility of distant metastasis still exists and clinicians should therefore be cautious about interpreting extracutaneous symptoms. Chest physicians should always consider the possibility of this rare tumour in the lungs in patients with a history of large basal cell carcinomas in the head and neck region. 相似文献

INTRODUCTIONPrimary adenocarcinoma of the 4th portion of the duodenum is reported less frequently than those other portions of the duodenum. Therefore, few reports discuss the diagnosis and treatment of this malignancy.PRESENTATION OF CASEA 54-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of nausea and vomiting after a meal. Upper gastrointestinal examination and a duodenogram revealed a Type 2 tumor of the 4th portion of the duodenum, which was diagnosed as well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma by endoscopic biopsy. Partial resection of the duodenum and jejunum was performed on the basis of intraoperative evaluation of negative lymph node metastasis around the pancreas and proximal duodenum with no macroscopic invasion toward the pancreas and proximal duodenal margin. Her postoperative course was uneventful without any sign of recurrence 5 years later.DISCUSSIONPrimary adenocarcinoma in the 4th portion is relatively less common. It is not easy to diagnose this disease. Patients with primary duodenal adenocaricinoma, who are medically fit to undergo surgery, should be given the option of aggressive resection. Duodeno-cephalo-pancreatectomy remains the standard treatment for adenocarcinomas of the 1st and 2nd portion of the duodenum. Partial resection is the preferred surgical method for patients with adenocarcinoma of the 3rd and 4th portions of the duodenum.CONCLUSIONThis report describes a rare case of primary adenocarcinoma of the 4th portion of the duodenum, successfully treated by partial resection of the duodenum and jejunum. However, larger studies are required to clarify the indications for the preferred surgical method for this malignancy. 相似文献
