Leiomioma intraligamentario degenerado como simulador de patología maligna de ovario. Reporte de un caso / Degenerated intraligamentary leiomioma as a simulator of malignant ovarian pathology. Report of a case

Los leiomiomas son tumores mesenquimatosos benignos que se presentan como la neoplasia uterina más común en mujeres en edad reproductiva. Según su crecimiento, se puede ver comprometido su aporte sanguíneo, ocurriendo cambios degenerativos por la carencia de oxígeno, lo cual le confiere un aspecto atípico que puede generar confusión con el diagnostico. Se describe caso de paciente de 47 años de edad, quien consulta por aumento progresivo de volumen de circunferencia abdominal de 7 meses de evolución, referida a la consulta de ginecología oncológica por gran masa tumoral retrouterina de probable origen ovárico con elevado riesgo de malignidad. Luego de realizar estudios preoperatorios es llevada a quirófano, obteniéndose como diagnóstico definitivo, leiomioma con degeneración hialina e hidrópica focal. Los leiomiomas con cambios degenerativos pueden simular tumores malignos de ovario, por lo cual deben ser considerados como un diagnóstico diferencial antes de intervenciones quirúrgicas por tumores abdominopélvicos de gran tamaño(AU)

Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that occur as the most common uterine neoplasm in women of reproductive age. Depending on its growth, its blood supply may be compromised, causing degenerative changes due to lack of oxygen, which gives it an atypical appearance that may cause confusion with the diagnosis. The case of a 47-year-old patient is described, who consults for a progressive increase in the volume of abdominal circumference of 7 months of evolution, referred to the gynecology oncology consultation due to a large retrouterine tumor mass of probable ovarian origin with a high risk of malignancy. After performing preoperative studies, she was taken to the operating room, obtaining as a definitive diagnosis, leiomyoma with hyaline and focal hydropic degeneration. Leiomyomas with degenerative changes can simulate malignant ovarian tumors, which is why they should be considered as a differential diagnosis before surgical interventions for large abdominopelvic tumors(AU)

Fibroma bilateral de ovario en mujer posmenopáusica. Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Bilateral ovarian fibroma in postmenopausal woman. Case report and literature review

Los fibromas ováricos son tumores benignos poco frecuentes, generalmente unilaterales, que se presentan principalmente en mujeres perimenopáusicas y posmenopáusicas. Los síntomas pueden variar y en algunos casos están asociados a ascitis y derrame pleural, conocido como síndrome de Meigs. Se presenta un caso de una paciente de 55 años de edad con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial y asma bronquial, quién acude a ginecólogo por dolor en fosa ilíaca derecha de tres meses de evolución. Se realizan diferentes estudios incluyendo ecografía y tomografía abdomino-pélvica, los cuales revelan una tumoración sólida bilateral de ovarios. Se realiza histerectomía abdominal total más salpingo-oforectomía bilateral y a pesar de sus características, el estudio histopatológico hace el diagnóstico de fibroma bilateral. La presentación clínica de los fibromas de ovario es inespecífica, por lo que suelen confundirse con patología maligna del ovario u otras patologías benignas de útero u ovario, constituyendo un reto para el diagnóstico preoperatorio(AU)

Ovarian fibromas are rare tumors that mainly occur in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Symptoms can vary, and in some cases, they may be associated with ascites and pleural effusion, known as Meigs Syndrome. The article presents the case of a 55-year-old patient with a history of hypertension and bronchial asthma, who visit a gynecologist due to pain in the right iliac fossa of three months duration. Various studies were performed, including ultrasound and abdominal and pelvic CT, which reveal the presence of solid bilateral ovarian tumors. The patient undergoes a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and despite it's characteristics, the histopathological study makes the diagnosis of bilateral ovarian fibroma with no signs of malignancy. The clinical presentation of ovarian fibromas is nonspecific, often leading to confusion with malignant ovarian pathology or other benign uterine or ovarian conditions, representing a challenge for preoperative diagnosis(AU)

Fibroma mole gigante vulvar: relato de caso / Giant soft vulvar fibroma: case report

Fibroma mole, ou pólipo fibroepitelial, é uma lesão de proporções geralmente reduzidas, de cor hiperpigmentada ou igual à da pele, localizando-se frequentemente na face, pescoço, tronco e regiões intertriginosas. É um tumor classificado como benigno e pode acometer tanto homens quanto mulheres em idade reprodutiva e depois da quarta década de vida. Ocorre principalmente em obesos, diabéticos e durante a gestação. Com menor frequência, podem alcançar dimensões que excedem 5 cm. Seu crescimento pode ser lento ou rápido e comumente são assintomáticos, mas podem promover sangramentos por conta de ulcerações decorrentes de traumas repetidos. Apresentamos neste relato um fibroma mole, gigante, de localização vulvar, com 11 cm de comprimento, 11 cm de largura e 5 cm de espessura, pesando 500 g.

Giant soft vulvar fibroma is a fibroepithelial polyp lesion with generally reduced proportions, with a hyperpigmented color or similar to that of the skin, frequently located on the face, neck, trunk and intertriginous regions. It is a tumor classified as benign, can affect both men and women, of reproductive age and after the fourth decade, mainly obese, diabetic and during pregnancy. However, less frequently, they can reach dimensions that exceed 5 cm, may have a slow or accelerated evolution. They are commonly asymptomatic, but bleeding may be present due to ulcerations resulting from repeated trauma. In the current study, we describe a giant soft fibroma with a vulvar location measuring 11 cm in length, 11 cm in width, 5 cm in thickness and weighing 500 grams.

Recurrent desmoid fibromatosis of the thyroid gland: A diagnostic challenge / Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies

@#A 31-year-old Indian female with a history of near-total thyroidectomy 2.5-years prior presented with recurrent neck swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck revealed an infiltrating mass involving the thyroid bed. Biopsy from the mass and review of slides from the previous thyroidectomy revealed a spindle cell tumour with interspersed areas of fibrosis and infiltrative edges entrapping thyroid follicles. Beta-catenin immunopositivity and CTNNB1 mutation confirmed the diagnosis of fibromatosis. The case is being reported for its rarity and the discussion of its differential diagnoses.

Fibroma of tendon sheath: a clinicopathological and genetic analysis of 134 cases / 中华病理学杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes and molecular genetics of fibroma of tendon sheath (FTS). Methods: One hundred and thirty-four cases of FTS or tenosynovial fibroma diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China from January 2008 to April 2019 were selected. The clinical and histologic features of these cases were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed on the above cases. Results: There were a total of 134 cases of FTS, including 67 males and 67 females. The patients' median age was 38 years (ranged from 2 to 85 years). The median tumor size was 1.8 cm (ranged from 0.1 to 6.8 cm). The most common site was the upper extremity (76/134, 57%). Follow-up data was available in 28 cases and there was no detectable recurrence. Classic FTS (114 cases) were well-defined and hypocellular. A few spindle-shaped fibroblasts were scattered in the dense collagenous sclerotic stroma. Characteristically elongated slit-like spaces or thin-walled vessels were observed. Most of cellular FTSs (20 cases) were well-defined and the area with increased cellularity of the spindle cells coexisted with classic FTS. There were occasional mitotic figures, but no atypical mitotic figures. Immunohistochemistry was performed in 8 cases of classic FTS and most cases were positive for SMA (5/8). Immunohistochemistry was also performed in 13 cases of cellular FTS and showed 100% positive rate for SMA. FISH was conducted on 20 cases of cellular FTS and 32 cases of classical FTS. USP6 gene rearrangement was found in 11/20 of cellular FTS. Among 12 cases of CFTS with nodular fasciitis (NF)-like morphological feature, 7 cases showed USP6 gene rearrangement. The rearrangement proportion of USP6 gene in cellular FTS without NF-like morphological features was 4/8. By contrast, 3% (1/32) of the classic FTS showed USP6 gene rearrangement. RT-PCR was performed in those cases with detected USP6 gene rearrangement and sufficient tissue samples for RT-PCR. The MYH9-USP6 fusion gene was detected in 1 case (1/8) of the cellular FTSs, while no target fusion partner was detected in the classic FTS. Conclusions: FTS is a relatively rare benign fibroblastic or myofibroblastic tumor. Our study and recent literature find that some of the classic FTS also show USP6 gene rearrangements, suggesting that classical FTS and cellular FTS are likely to be at different stages of the same disease (spectrum). FISH for USP6 gene rearrangement may be used as an important auxiliary diagnostic tool in distinguishing FTS from other tumors.

Síndrome de Meigs: Relato de Caso / Meigs Syndrome: Case Report / Síndrome de Meigs: Informe de Caso

Introdução: A síndrome de Meigs é uma condição clínica rara, definida como a associação de derrame pleural, ascite e fibroma ovariano, com resolução dos sintomas após a ressecção do tumor. Relato do caso: Paciente, sexo feminino, 56 anos, com tosse seca, associada à hiporexia, à perda de peso e à dispneia progressiva durante um mês. Radiografia de tórax e posteriormente tomografia de tórax mostraram derrame pleural volumoso à direita, sendo realizada toracocentese com drenagem de 2.500 ml de líquido seroso, sugestivo de exsudato. Ao exame, observou-se massa palpável em hipogástrio, com limite superior em cicatriz umbilical. Exames de imagem mostram formação expansiva sólida de possível origem ovariana esquerda e presença de líquido ascítico. A paciente foi submetida à histerectomia total com salpingo-ooforectomia bilateral e ressecção da massa pélvica. No intraoperatório, o exame por congelação foi sugestivo de fibroma ovariano. O histopatológico da peça cirúrgica confirmou fibroma ovariano medindo 13,0 x 12,5 x 7,5 cm e o exame citopatológico do líquido ascítico foi negativo para células neoplásicas. A paciente evoluiu em bom estado geral com resolução do derrame pleural e da ascite e segue sem recorrência dos sintomas. Conclusão: O diagnóstico definitivo é feito pela confirmação histológica de fibroma ovariano e resolução dos sintomas após a remoção da tumoração. A dispneia pode ser o sintoma inicial e o marcador tumoral CA-125 pode estar elevado. O prognóstico costuma ser bom e as chances de recidiva são mínimas.

ntroduction: Meigs syndrome is a rare clinical condition, defined as the association of pleural effusion, ascites and ovarian fibroma, with resolution of symptoms after tumor resection. Case report: Female patient, 56 years old, with dry cough associated with hyporexia, weight loss and progressive dyspnea for one month. Chest X-ray and later chest tomography showed massive pleural effusion on the right. Thoracocentesis was performed with drainage of 2,500 ml of serous fluid, suggestive of exudate. On examination, a palpable mass was observed in the hypogastrium, with an upper limit in the umbilicus. Imaging exams show solid expansive formation of possible left ovarian origin and presence of ascitic fluid. The patient underwent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and resection of the pelvic mass. Intraoperatively, frozen section was suggestive of ovarian fibroma. Histopathological of the surgical specimen confirmed ovarian fibroma measuring 13.0 x 12.5 x 7.5 cm and cytopathological examination of the ascitic fluid was negative for neoplastic cells. The patient evolved in good general condition with resolution of the pleural effusion and ascites and continues without recurrence of symptoms. Conclusion: The definitive diagnosis is made by histological confirmation of ovarian fibroma and resolution of symptoms after removal of the tumor. Dyspnea may be the initial symptom and the CA-125 may be elevated. The prognosis is usually good and the chances of recurrence are minimal.

Giant lipofibromatous hamartoma of median nerve in a child

Lipofibromatous hamartoma (LFH) is a rare fibrofatty tumor of adipocytes within peripheral nerves, affecting mainly children. It typically presents as a palpable mass surrounding the nerves of the upper limbs, causing pain and neurological deficits in the affected nerve distribution. We report the case of a child with a 2-years presentation of a mass in the right wrist associated with pain and paresthesia, who underwent investigation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It showed thickening of the median nerve with spaghetti-like appearance associated with lipomatous tissue in a coaxial cable-like pattern, both features characteristic of LFH. This case illustrates the importance of MRI in the differential diagnosis of limb masses in the pediatric population.

Fibroma of the Patellar Tendon Sheath: A New Paradigm / Fibroma da bainha do tendão patelar: Um novo paradigma

Abstract The authors present a case of fibroma of the tendon sheath with intra-articular location in the knee, more specifically in the infrapatellar fat; with this specific location, this is the fourth case described of an entity that rarely affects large joints. Clinical and epidemiologi-cal aspects, but especially the imaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging scans, are essential for the differential and definitive diagnosis, which was nevertheless established only after a histological study of the excised mass by miniarthrotomy.

Resumo Os autores apresentam um caso de um fibroma da bainha de tendão com localização intra-articular no joelho e origem na gordura infrapatelar. Esta localização específica é extremamente rara, sendo este o quarto caso descrito de uma entidade que raramente afeta grandes articulações. Para o seu diagnóstico aspetos clínicos, epidemiológicos e sobretudo achados imagiológicos da ressonância magnética são fundamentais. Neste caso o diagnóstico definitvo foi apenas estabelecido após estudo histológico da massa excisada por mini-artrotomia.

O objetivo deste estudo foi demonstrar o papel da ressonância magnética cardíaca na avaliação, no diagnóstico e no acompanhamento de fibroma cardíaco. Paciente do sexo feminino, 21 anos, com massa miocárdica ao ecocardiograma. Realizou ressonância magnética com diagnóstico de fibroma cardíaco. Foi acompanhada durante 6 anos com estabilidade do quadro. Fibromas cardíacos correspondem à segunda neoplasia mais comum em crianças e jovens. À ressonância magnética, caracterizam-se por realce tardio intenso e homogêneo.(AU)

Tumores cardíacos pediátricos: características de imagens ecocardiográficas / Pediatric cardiac tumors: echocardiographic imaging features

Tumores cardíacos (TC) em crianças são lesões muito raras, mas seu diagnóstico é fundamental para a conduta adotada para o paciente. A ecocardiografia é a modalidade de imagem cardiovascular mais utilizada na prática clínica para o diagnóstico inicial de TC em pacientes pediátricos. Conhecer as características ecocardiográficas das TCs pode possibilitar um diagnóstico cada vez mais precoce e a identificação de sua etiologia mais provável. Os TCs primários e benignos são os mais frequentes na população pediátrica. Entre os TCs benignos, os mais frequentes em fetos e neonatos são rabdomiomas e teratomas. Em crianças e adolescentes, rabdomiomas e fibromas são os mais comuns. Neste artigo, descrevemos as características ecocardiográficas dos principais TCs em idades pediátricas.(AU)

Cardiac tumors (CTs) in children are very rare, but their diagnosis is crucial for patient management. Echocardiography is the most commonly used cardiovascular imaging modality in clinical practice for the initial diagnosis of CTs in pediatric patients. Knowing the echocardiographic characteristics of CTs can enable an increasingly early diagnosis and the identification of its most likely etiology. Primary and benign CTs are the most frequent types in the pediatric population. Among benign CTs, the most frequent in fetuses and neonates are rhabdomyomas and teratomas. In children and adolescents, rhabdomyomas and fibromas are more common. Here we describe the echocardiographic characteristics of the most common CTs in pediatric patients.(AU)

Mixofibroma odontogénico, reporte de un caso con seguimiento a cinco años / Odontogenic myxofibroma, case report with 5 years of follow-up

El mixoma odontogénico es una neoplasia de origen mesenquimal, con crecimiento lento pero localmente invasivo y agresivo, que cuenta con un aspecto histológico característico. Radiográficamente, la mayoría de las lesiones tienen un aspecto radiolúcido multilocular, descrito en la literatura como «panal de abejas¼ o «burbujas de jabón¼, que ocasionan desplazamiento dental y expansión corticales. En el ámbito histopatológico, se caracteriza por células estelares o fusiformes con prolongaciones citoplasmáticas, en una sustancia mucoide o mixoide con presencia o no de colágena, cuando contiene grandes cantidades de tejido fibroso celular maduro se le llama mixofibroma. Se presenta un caso clínico de hombre de 38 años, que acude al Hospital General de Uruapan, Michoacán con aumento de volumen en región maxilar derecha; se toma biopsia incisional y se emite el diagnóstico histopatológico de mixofibroma odontogénico, 33.6% de los casos se presenta en el maxilar, con una distribución uniforme por todas las áreas llegando a erosionar el seno maxilar. Tiene una tasa de recurrencia de 10 a 33%, y el tratamiento ideal es la resección en bloque con márgenes de seguridad (AU)

Odontogenic myxoma is a slow-growing locally invasive intraosseous lesion with defined microscopic appearance. Radiographic appearance, is described as multilocular radiolucent lesion, which is reported in scientific literature as «honeycomb¼ or «soap bubbles¼ appearance most of the time; it exhibits dental displacement and cortical expansion. Histopathologically, stellate and spindle cells with cytoplasmic processes are observed in a mucoid or myxoid substance, with or without collagen; when it contains large amounts of mature cellular fibrous tissue, it is called myxofibroma. The present article presents the case of a 38 year old male, who attended the General Hospital in Uruapan, Michoacán due to an increased volume in the right maxillary region. Incisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological diagnosis of odontogenic myxofibroma was emitted. 33.6% of cases occur in the maxilla with a uniform distribution throughout the areas, and can erode the maxillary sinus. It has a recurrence rate of 10 to 33%, therefore ideal treatment is bloc resection leaving safety margins (AU)

Fibroma de fibroblastos gigantes: presentación de 122 casos / Giant Cell fibroma: presentation of 122 cases

El fibroma de fibroblastos gigantes (FFG), conocido también como fibroma de células gigantes, es una pápula o nódulo asintomático localizado en la encía, paladar y lengua, es del mismo color que la mucosa adyacente, de base sésil o pediculada, con superficie lisa o papilar que por lo general mide menos de 1 cm. Objetivo: Identificar las características demográficas e histopatológicas de los casos de FFG de un laboratorio privado de patología bucal en la Ciudad de México. Material y métodos: Se obtuvieron los datos de edad, sexo, diagnóstico presuntivo y definitivo de 122 casos de FFG de 2004 a 2019 con un total de 7,681 muestras. Se describe su distribución por edad, sexo y localización. Resultados: El rango de edad obtenido es de 1 a 84 años, con un promedio de X = 38 años, se presenta con mayor frecuencia en la segunda década de vida, con una razón de 1.6:1 mujer a hombre. La localización más frecuente es en lengua (46%); sin embargo, sólo 49.1% de los estudios especificaban este dato. Conclusión: La importancia de esta lesión es que clínicamente se parece a otras patologías de tejido fibroso, por lo tanto, se debe tener presente al FFG como diagnóstico diferencial (AU)

Giant cell fibroma (GCF) is an asymptomatic papule or nodule that is similar in color to the surrounding mucosa, with a sessile or pedunculated base. It is usually less than 1 cm in size and it features a smooth or papillary surface. Objective: To identify the demographic and histopathological characteristics of GCF cases in a private oral pathology laboratory in Mexico City. Material and methods: Data on age, sex, as well as on presumptive and definitive diagnosis of 122 GCF cases were obtained from 2004 to 2019 with a total of 7,681 samples. Its distribution by age, sex and localization is described. Results: The age range obtained is from 1 to 84 years, with a mean age of 38 years. Frequently during the second decade of life, the female to male ratio is 1.6:1. The most frequent location is the tongue (46%), however, only 60 of 122 studies specified this data. Conclusion: Since this lesion clinically resembles another fibrous tissue pathology, it is warranted to have prior knowledge on its clinical characteristics, as GCF should be regarded as a differential diagnosis (AU)

Clinical laboratory features of Meigs' syndrome: a retrospective study from 2009 to 2018 / 医学前沿

Meigs' syndrome (MS), a rare complication of benign ovarian tumors, is easily misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer (OC). We retrospectively reviewed the clinical laboratory data of patients diagnosed with MS from 2009 to 2018. Serum carbohydrate antigen 125 and HE4 levels were higher in the MS group than in the ovarian thecoma-fibroma (OTF) and healthy control groups (all P < 0.05). However, the serum HE4 levels were lower in the MS group than in the OC group (P < 0.001). A routine blood test showed that the absolute counts and percentages of lymphocytes were significantly lower in the MS group than in the OTF and control groups (all P < 0.05). However, these variables were higher in the MS group than in the OC group (both P < 0.05). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was also significantly lower, whereas the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio was higher in the MS group than in the OC group (both P < 0.05). The NLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune index were significantly higher in the MS group than in the OTF and control groups (all P < 0.05). The hypoxia-inducible factor-1 mRNA levels were also significantly higher, whereas the glucose transporter 1, lactate dehydrogenase, and enolase 1 mRNA levels were lower in peripheral CD4
