ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction Malignant mesonephric tumors are uncommon in the female genital tract, and they are usually located where embryonic remnants of Wolffian ducts are detected, such as the uterine cervix. The information about these tumors, their treatment protocol, and prognosis are scarce. Case report A 60-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding was initially diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. After suspicion co-testing, the patient underwent a loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix and was eventually diagnosed with mesonephric adenocarcinoma. She was subjected to a radical hysterectomy, which revealed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB1 stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after 60 months. Conclusion We present the case of a woman with cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma. When compared with the literature, this case had the longest clinical follow-up without evidence of recurrence, which reinforces the concept that these tumors are associated with a favorable prognosis if managed according to the guidelines defined for the treatment of patients with cervical adenocarcinomas. Though a rare entity, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for other cervical cancers.

INTRODUCTION: Malignant mesonephric tumors are uncommon in the female genital tract, and they are usually located where embryonic remnants of Wolffian ducts are detected, such as the uterine cervix. The information about these tumors, their treatment protocol, and prognosis are scarce. CASE REPORT: A 60-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding was initially diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. After suspicion co-testing, the patient underwent a loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix and was eventually diagnosed with mesonephric adenocarcinoma. She was subjected to a radical hysterectomy, which revealed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB1 stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after 60 months. CONCLUSION: We present the case of a woman with cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma. When compared with the literature, this case had the longest clinical follow-up without evidence of recurrence, which reinforces the concept that these tumors are associated with a favorable prognosis if managed according to the guidelines defined for the treatment of patients with cervical adenocarcinomas. Though a rare entity, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for other cervical cancers.

BACKGROUND: Mesonephric adenocarcinoma (MNAC) is a rare tumor of the female genital tract, which originates from mesonephric duct remnants. Its diagnosis is pathologically challenging, because MNAC may exhibit a mixture of morphological patterns that complicates the differential diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient in this case was a 48-year-old woman with a polypoid mass protruding into the endocervical canal. The patient underwent a total hysterectomy outside the institution. During biopsy, the mass showed a cerebroid aspect. Histological study revealed a tumor with a predominantly tubular and ductal growth pattern. The immunoprofile showed negative staining for calretinin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEAm), estrogen receptors (ER), and progesterone receptors (PR), and positive staining for CD10, p16, and PAX2. The Ki-67 score was 46%. Using a next-generation sequencing assay, we documented genomic alterations in KRAS and CTNNB1, low tumor mutation burden (TMB), and an absence of microsatellite instability. In addition, gain of the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q) was also documented using chomogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). Three years later, the patient presented pulmonary nodules in the lingula and left basal lobe that were resected by thoracotomy. The histopathologic study of the pulmonary nodules confirmed the presence of metastases. CONCLUSION: Carcinomas of mesonephric origin are among the rarest subtypes of cervical tumors. We report the first case of mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the cervix with lung metastases showing a CTNNB1 gene mutation.

Se presentan dos ejemplos de tumor del seno endodérmico desarrollados en la rinofaringe meses a años después de haberse detectado una masa teratomatosa en esa región. El primer caso sucedió en un recién nacido con dificultad respiratoria debida a un teratoma nasofaríngeo que fue extirpado. Los síntomas reaparecieron 2 años después, a causa de un tumor del seno endodérmico en la misma ubicación. En el segundo la masa tumoral inicial fue detectada a los 7 meses de edad y el tumor del seno endodérmico cinco meses mas tarde. En ambos casos el teratoma inicial estaba compuesto predominantemente por tejido nervioso. Este fenómeno reproduce el mas conocido de aparición de un tumor del seno endodérmico en el teratoma sacrococcígeo. Dado que el diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones rinofaríngeas conteniendo tejido nervioso depende de una cuidadosa correlación anatómica, clínica y radiológica no siempre fácil de lograr, se sugiere el seguimiento de las mismas mediante el dosaje de alfa-fetoproteína sérica como marcador del TSE

Peritoneal cytology has been well established as a diagnostic and staging tool in the management of the common epithelial tumors of ovary. Germ cell, mesenchymal, and sex-cord stromal tumors are much less frequently encountered in peritoneal specimens, often with cytologic features that may pose problems in differential diagnosis. This report presents the cytomorphology of the ascitic fluid in cases of endodermal sinus tumor, dysgerminoma, and Sertoli-Leydig-cell tumor, and peritoneal washings in a case of ovarian malignant mixed mullerian tumor. The cytologic features of Sertoli-Leydig-cell tumors have not been well described. Careful correlation of peritoneal cytologic findings, cell-block preparations, and immunocytochemistry with the cytohistologic features of these tumors is crucial for correct tumor classification.

Os autores estudaram sete casos de disgerminoma e tres de tumor do seio endodermico do ovario, no intuito de avaliar a utilidade da imunohistoquimica, empregando anticorpos anti-citoceratina, alfa-fetoproteina e alfa-1-antitripsina no diagnostico destes tumores. Os 10 tumores expressaram alfa-1-antitripsina. Nenhum disgerminoma expressou citoceratina enquanto todos os tumores do seio endodermico mostraram reacoes positivas. Os tres tumores do seio endodermico e um disgerminoma expressaram alfa-fetoproteina. Apos investigacao detalhada, este caso foi classificado como um tumor misto de celulas germinativas, tambem por corresponder a um mau prognostico e curta sobrevida, nao muito caracteristico de disgerminomas puros. Este estudo indica que a imunohistoquimica pode ser util no diagnostico destes tipos de tumor, principalmente quando ha areas suspeitas que podem levar a um diagnostico de um tumor misto de celulas germinativas.

A case of sclerosinhg stomal tumor of the ovary in a 23 years old case is reported. She presented metrorrhagia and abdominal mass in the lower quadrants, measuring 12.5 x 16.7 x 9.0 cm (USG). clinically, there was anaovulation with result infertility, which was resistent to therapy with clomiphene citrate. The tumor was removed from the patient's left ovary. The cut surface showed a solid and edematous pattern. Histological examination revealed a mixture of fibromatous and lipoid cells separated by edematous or sclerosing stroma into pseudonodules. The tumor was benign and considered to arise from gonadal stroma of the ovary. Both menstrual disorders and problems of infertility were corrected by tumor's excision. Ultrastructural and immunohistochemistry studies, as well as clinical patterns have indicated in many cases, that the tumor is functionally active and from ovarian stromal origin. This specific tumor is worthwhile to present due to its rarity, its association with sterility and a difficulty in finding a definitive nomenclature. Two months after the surgery the patient was pregnant for the first time

Tecem-se consideraçöes histológicas sobre o tumor do seio endodérmico baseado em dois casos desta neoplasia com localizaçäo ovariana e em um caso originado primariamente no testículo de um recém-nascido. O tumor apresenta um quadro histológico bastante complexo o que torna muitas vezes difícil sua caracterizaçäo. Chama-se a atençäo para as estruturas de Schiller-Duval, bem como para os glóbulos hialinos de localizaçäo intra e extracelular, que representam elementos de extrema importância diagnóstica na caracterizaçäo deste tumor

Apresenta-se um caso de tumor raro ovariano de linhagem germinativa que é o tumor de seio endodérmico, em uma paciente com 11 anos de idade. Sua queixa era aumento do volume abdominal com evoluçäo rápida. Optou-se pela laparotomia exploradora onde se encontrou tumor sólido-cístico com áreas de hemorragia, medindo aproximadamente 18 x 18 cm, sendo realizada anexectomia unilateral. O exame histopatológico revelou tumor de seio endodérmico. Em vista disto foi realizada uma segunda laparotomia (histerectomia total + anexectomia) contralateral e omentectomia. O tratamento foi complementado com poliquimioterapia (vimblastina - bleomicina - cisplatinum). Porém na terceira série a paciente recusou-se a continuar o tratamento. Um ano após a cirurgia a paciente encontra-se assintomática e sem sinais clínicos e laboratoriais de recidivas ou metástases
