Primary hepatic pleomorphic liposarcoma: Case report and literature review / Liposarcoma pleomorfo hepático primario: presentación de un caso y revisión bibliográfica

Primary hepatic liposarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumour derived from adipocytes and is part of the group of mesenchymal tumours. We present the case of a 43-year-old Hispanic male patient with a pleomorphic hepatic liposarcoma and absence of MDM2 gene amplification. Two years and six months after surgery, the patient is asymptomatic. The present case is the first report of this entity with positive immunohistochemical testing for p16, p53, S100, vimentin and absence of MDM2 gene amplification. (AU)

El liposarcoma hepático primario es un tumor maligno extremadamente raro, derivado de adipocitos, y forma parte del grupo de tumores mesenquimales. Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 43 años con diagnóstico de liposarcoma hepático pleomorfo con ausencia de amplificación del gen MDM2. Dos años y 6 meses después de la cirugía el paciente se encuentra asintomático. El presente caso es el primer informe de esta entidad con estudio inmunohistoquímico positivo para p16, p53, S100, vimentina y ausencia de amplificación del gen MDM2. (AU)

Case Report: Desmoid fibromatosis in the mediastinum of a 6-month-old toddler, what to do?

Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare, aggressive borderline lesion arising from soft tissues. Treatment will depend on the structures that the tumor has involved. Surgery with negative margins is the recommended strategy as it can usually achieve disease control; however, the tumor's location sometimes does not allow it. Therefore, a combination of medical therapies along with strict surveillance is crucial. We present the case of a 6-month-old boy with a chest mass. After further evaluation, a rapidly growing mediastinal mass involving the sternum and costal cartilage was detected. Desmoid fibromatosis was the final diagnosis.

Primary splenic histiocytic sarcoma associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: A case report and review of literature of next-generation sequencing involving FLT3, NOTCH2, and KMT2A mutations.

BACKGROUND: Histiocytic sarcoma is a very rare monocyte/macrophage-derived hematopoietic system tumor with a poor prognosis whose diagnosis is pathologically challenging due to its extreme rarity and histological overlap with various mimicking entities in which histiocytes also predominate. CASE: We report the case of a 33-year-old male patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, purpuric syndrome, and significant splenomegaly. The patient underwent splenectomy; subsequent macroscopic examination revealed a spleen weighing 2065 grams with hyperemic red pulp and multiple infarcts at the periphery. The histological and immunohistochemical study established a diagnosis of primary splenic histiocytic sarcoma with frequent hemophagocytosis. Next-generation sequencing demonstrated mutations in FLT3, NOTCH2, and KMT2A, microsatellite stability, and a tumor mutational burden of 2 mut/Mb. The patient's condition deteriorated clinically from the appearance of the first symptoms and he died 6 months later from multi-organ failure. CONCLUSION: Primary splenic histiocytic sarcoma is one of the rarest tumors of the hematopoietic system. We report the first case with mutations in FLT3, NOTCH2, and KMT2A, and associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Angiotomografía en estenosis de la arteria hepática de paciente trasplantado / Angiotomography in stenosis of the hepatic artery transplanted patient

Paciente de sexo masculino de 13 años de edad sometido a trasplante hepático por carcinoma fibrolamelar y mala evolución clínica cuyos exámenes diagnósticos (Figura 1) demostraron una estenosis en la arteria hepática que fue tratada por vía endovascular (Figura 2). Los controles fueron normales (Figura 3).
