Primary papillary carcinoma of a thyroglossal duct cyst: report of a case and literature review

Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common anomaly in thyroid development. They are twice as frequent as branchial cleft abnormalities and, in children, are second only to enlarged cervical lymph nodes as the cause of neck mass. Generally, duct cysts are benign, but 1 per cent of cases may be malignant. From the world literature, 114 cases of malignant thyroglossal cysts were available for review. With the addition of our own case, we discuss 115 instances of duct cysts. The different types of neoplasia described included thyroid papillary carcinoma in 81.7 per cent, mixed papillary-follicular carcinoma in 6.9 per cent, squamous cell carcinoma in 5.2 per cent, follicular and adenocarcinoma in 1.7 per cent each, and malignant struma, epidermoid carcinoma and anaplastic carcinoma in 0.9 per cent each. Of the 115 cases surveyed, 35 thyroid glands were examined microscopically; of these, four (11.4 per cent) contained malignant foci. Whether these are primary malignancies of the thyroglossal duct cysts or metastases is discussed.     

Anal duct carcinoma: case report and review of the literature

This report details the clinical course of two patients with true anal duct carcinoma. The incidence of this malignancy is low. The tissues of origination are the glands of the anal duct. The features that differentiate this tumor from the usual rectal carcinoma are prominent ductal structures, abundant mucin production with organized mucinous pools, and infiltration into the perirectal soft tissue. The clinical management of anal duct carcinoma remains a surgical challenge. The extent of surgical resection must be radical because of the infiltrative nature of the tumor. This report describes treatment of two patients with anal duct carcinoma. The first patient was a black woman with no previous history of rectal disease. Her operative procedure was an abdominoperineal resection with posterior vaginectomy. Nine months after initial surgery a local recurrence was resected. The second patient was a white man with a previous history of hemorrhoidectomy and anal fissure. He underwent an abdominoperineal resection but had positive dermal skin margins on permanent sections despite wide perirectal soft tissue resection. A secondary resection with confirmed clear margins of the skin was performed 2 weeks postoperatively. One management aspect of anal duct carcinoma that needs emphasis is the need for wide local excision of the perirectal soft tissues.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and outcome of multilocular cystic renal cell car-cinoma. Methods The clinic data of 1 case of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma were reviewed with its clinical manifestation, imaging, pathology and therapy in our hospital. The male patient aged 49 was incidentally found to have a right renal tumor. The CT scan showed a multiloeular cystic tumor in the low pole of the right kidney with a clear outline. The thin septa were found in the tumor, which were enhanced in the enhancement CT scan. The enhancement MRI showed the cystic wall was en-hanced. Results The patient received a partial nephrectomy as his treatment. The pathological char-acteristics were as following: the multilocular cystic tumor was about 3 cm×2 cm×2 cm with clear serosity in it. The cystic wall was smooth with the width of 0.1-0.2 cm. Most of the cystic cavities were covered by monostratified or stratified cubic clear cells, and some were covered by squamous epi-thelium or no epithelium at all. The septum was composed of collagen fiber, and clear cells were found in it. The clear cells form small collections but do not form expansile nodules. The final pathological diagnosis was multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma. The follow-up was 20 months, without local re-currence or distant metastasis was found. Conclusions Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma with a good prognosis. MCRCC is an uncommon tumor of the kidney composed of multiple cysts with clear cells in the septa indistinguishable from grade I renal cell carcinoma. Most patients are asymptomatie and the tumors are discovered inciden-tally. The preoperative diagnosis of MCRCC immediately depends on imaging studies. Pathology is the key to diagnosis.

原发直肠肛管小细胞癌1例报告并文献复习

背景与目的：原发直肠肛管小细胞癌（SCC）是直肠肛管肿瘤罕见的类型，占比不超过1%。与常见的直肠肛管腺癌相比，直肠肛管SCC的临床症状以及影像学表现不具有特异性，诊断较为困难，术后极易发生复发和远处转移，预后差，其总体病死率极高。由于直肠肛管SCC的罕见性和特殊性，目前国内外文献报道较少，缺乏相关的研究数据和治疗经验，对其认识不够深入，尚无统一的最佳治疗方案，这给临床对其诊治带来了一定的困扰。笔者通过收治1例原发直肠肛管SCC患者，分析诊疗经过，探讨直肠肛管SCC的诊断和治疗方法，以期为该类疾病诊断和治疗提供相应的临床经验和新的思路。 方法：回顾性分析1例原发直肠肛管SCC患者的临床资料，对患者的病史特点、一般情况、影像学检查、病理组织形态和免疫标记物特征进行分析诊断，根据其特点制定相应的治疗策略，并结合相关文献复习。 结果：患者表现出便血的临床特点，影像学检查考虑为直肠肛管恶性肿瘤，经过2次肠镜下组织活检病理提示为SCC，遂行腹腔镜辅助Miles手术，术后病理诊断为直肠肛管SCC。患者术后通过辅以盆腔放疗和“顺铂+依托泊苷”EP化疗方案的综合治疗，定期复查胸部CT、全腹CT、盆腔MRI、结肠镜检查、血清肿瘤标志物等均未发生肿瘤复发和远处转移，已无瘤生存13个月，目前继续随访观察中。 结论：原发直肠肛管SCC是一种罕见的疾病，总体生存率低。直肠肛管SCC的临床症状、影像学表现与常见的直肠肛管腺癌相似，不具有特异性，肠镜下的组织活检取材较为困难，确诊需要结合病理组织形态和多种免疫组化标记物。手术切除是治疗局部进展期直肠肛管SCC最为主要且有效的方法，应尽早的进行手术治疗，术后辅以盆腔放疗和“顺铂+依托泊苷”EP化疗方案的综合治疗，能改善患者的预后，延长生存期。     

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of Stensen's duct: a case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of Stensen's duct is a rare neoplasm, with only five cases reported in the literature. METHODS: We report another case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of Stensen's duct and review the literature. RESULTS: Stensen's duct neoplasms tend to be symptomatic at an early stage by causing an obstruction of the parotid duct. New imaging techniques such as MR sialography and sialoendoscopy are very helpful in diagnosis and patient management. CONCLUSIONS: Although the rarity of this condition prevents definitive conclusions about the optimal treatment, we propose that Stensen's duct neoplasms should be treated like similar neoplasms occurring in the parotid gland tissue, taking into consideration clinical stage, tumor grade, and surgical margins.
