Primary Epithelial Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Retroperitoneum.
Neuroendocrine tumors are either epithelial or neural in origin. Neuroendocrine tumors of the retroperitoneum are mostly metastatic. Primary epithelial neuroendocrine tumors of the retroperitoneum are exceedingly rare. We describe a case of a retroperitoneal tumor that was discovered incidentally during exploratory laparotomy for small-bowel obstruction. Histopathologic and immunochemical analy...
متن کاملPrimary solitary fibrous tumor of the retroperitoneum
Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon neoplasm affecting adults and typically located in the pleura and can also occur in a large number of other extra thoracic sites. We present the case of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the retroperitoneum and describe their histopathological and immunohistochemical features. The identification of SFT in the retroperitoneum is of importance because its cli...

متن کاملPrimary mediastinal embryonal carcinoma masquerading as chronic pancreatitis.
Primary mediastinal embryonal cell carcinomas are aggressive tumors commonly presenting between the ages of 20-50 years with pulmonary symptoms (e.g., cough, chest pain, and hemoptysis), as well as extrapulmonary symptoms due to pressure on adjacent structures. Here we describe a 72-year-old man who remained undiagnosed for a prolonged period of time because of intractable epigastric pain. The ...
متن کاملMerkel Cell Carcinoma of the Retroperitoneum with No Identifiable Primary Site
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an extremely rare primary neuroendocrine neoplasm of the skin that shows aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 67-year-old male with a Merkel cell carcinoma which initially presented itself as a large retroperitoneal mass. Pathological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed tissue consistent with neuroendocrine carcinoma. Despite compl...
