RESUMO

Spiradenocylindrocarcinoma is a very rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm of the folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit. We report a case of this hybrid tumor in a 42-year-old woman. The tumor consisted of 2 circumscribed nodules with areas of cylindrocarcinoma and low-grade spiradenocarcinoma. In the overlapping areas, both spiradenomatous and cylindromatous features were observed. Expansion of the tumor beyond the fibrous pseudocapsule into the adjacent tissue was present. Furthermore, tumor cells were demonstrating mild to moderate pleomorphism and an increased mitotic index. p53 and ki-67 were among the positive immunohistochemical markers. A relatively small number of tumor cells expressed estrogen receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of this rare tumor of the skin appendages.

RESUMO

Primary malignant melanoma originating in the small bowel is extremely rare. We report the case of a 55-year-old man who presented with a preoperative bleeding duodenal tumor. A standard pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Histopathological examination ascertained the diagnosis of a duodenal malignant melanoma with locoregional lymphatic spread. A thorough postoperative investigation did not reveal any primary melanotic lesions. Thus, the diagnosis of a primary melanoma originating from the duodenum was suggested. Fourteen months after surgery, the patient had no evidence of recurrence. Primary malignant melanoma of the duodenum is an existing, though unusual, oncologic entity. Aggressive surgery remains the treatment of choice offering both symptom palliation and long-term survival.

RESUMO

In this report, the authors examined the characteristic features of morphology and molecular biology of Ki-67, p53, Bcl-2, and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) immunocytochemistry in low-grade endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (LG-ENEC) and disordered proliferative (DP)/benign hyperplastic (BH) endometrium. We carried out a prospective study by collecting endometrial imprints from freshly resected uteri over a 20-month period and finally 104 patients were evaluated with endometrial cytology. We focused on LG-ENECs, as well as on BH endometrium and its precursor lesion, DP endometrium, firstly because of the overlapping cytomorphology of these pathologic entities and secondly because of the lack of agreement in the differential diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia from complex hyperplasia and well-differentiated endometrial carcinoma, even in curettage specimens. Ki-67 expression of LG-ENEC showed predominance in comparison with DP/BH endometrium. Furthermore, high levels of Bcl-2 (>50%) were expressed only in DP/BH endometrium. DP/BH endometrium was negative for p53 marker, except from two cases of BH endometrium. Cox-2 expression ≥50% was found only in LG-ENECs. Using Ki-67, Bcl-2, p53, and Cox-2 markers, we managed to distinguish fully DP/BH endometrium from LG-ENEC. Higher Ki-67%/Bcl-2% rate and also higher Cox-2 expression were found in LG-ENEC cases with FIGO stage ≥ IC, than in cases with FIGO stage < IC. The immunocytochemical findings from a combination of Ki-67, p53, Bcl-2, and Cox-2, may differentiate LG-ENEC from DP/BH endometrium with overlapping cytomorphology. Immunocytochemistry appeared to be useful also for the correlation between LG-ENEC and FIGO stage.

RESUMO

Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLS) is morphologically defined by the presence of pleomorphic lipoblasts in a background of high-grade sarcoma. Representing the rarest variant of liposarcoma, PLS frequently metastasizes, most commonly to the lungs. We present the case of a 72-year-old male patient with pulmonary metastatic PLS. The primary tumour was located in the back thoracic wall. Cytopathological confirmation of the metastasis to the lung was offered using bronchoscopical sampling methods. Bronchial brushing and washing of the visible metastatic lesion revealed pleomorphic spindle-shaped cells of high-grade sarcoma with occasional lipoblasts.
