RESUMO

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare spindle cell soft tissue sarcoma of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. We present the fourth case of scrotal DFSP in the literature, identified in a 32-year-old male with schizophrenia. Wide surgical excision and radical orchiectomy were performed revealing an uninvolved testicle and DFSP of the scrotum. A unique challenge to this case was concurrent aortic dissection and schizophrenia. Social determinants of health are associated with delay in presentation and poor appointment compliance in patients with schizophrenia. Ultimately, DFSP of the scrotum is an extremely rare condition with this presentation being only the fourth report in the literature. It is important to document these unique cases to establish differential diagnoses and optimize management.

RESUMO

Synchronous occurrence of three primary malignancies is a rare occurrence, and treatment options are often a difficult undertaking. We present a case of a 57-year-old Hispanic male with synchronous urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder, renal cell carcinoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma. We elected to manage this patient with a single operation. To our knowledge, this is only the second time a reported operation has been performed of this nature, which includes 21 case reports of triple primary genitourinary tumors, 15 of which are reported as synchronous.

RESUMO

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) are rare, small round cell tumors that are difficult to diagnose. It is important to identify PNET early, utilizing immunohistochemistry and genetic markers, as it is often an aggressive cancer. PNET is most commonly described in men between the ages of 20 and 40, with very few case reports highlighting the development in pregnant patients. We present a case of localized renal PNET in a pregnant patient and highlight the diagnostic work-up and treatment as well as the relationship between pregnancy and the potential development of aggressive tumors.

RESUMO

Primary ureteral stump carcinoma is a rare occurrence in patients who receive radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Only 11 previous cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of synchronous bilateral RCC and colon adenocarcinoma with the subsequent development of primary ureteral stump carcinoma that was treated with robotic ureterectomy and bladder cuff excision. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of this presentation.

RESUMO

Metoclopramide is a dopamine D2-receptor blocking agent commonly used to treat nausea, vomiting, and gastroparesis. Due to their mechanism of action, these drugs can lead to extrapyramidal side effects such as tardive dyskinesia. In this article, we report a case of a nulliparous gynecology patient who developed dyskinetic movements after intraoperative administration of metoclopramide. During further workup after stabilization, she was found to have several risk factors for tardive dyskinesia. As the occurrence of this phenomenon is somewhat rare, this case report aims to discuss the condition, associated risk factors, and differentiation from other diagnoses.
