Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms. We report two unusual cases with bilateral SLCTs suggesting evidence of genetic predisposition and at high risk of recurrence. To reduce this risk, we exploited the use of GnRH analog to lower gondadotropin and potentially directly inhibit the tumors through expressed GnRH receptors. We used it as maintenance antitumor therapy for 2 years a...

Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) is an extremely rare benign lesion arising in the sino-nasal tract. They usually affect children below one year of age. The pathogenesis of these lesions is poorly understood however, they have been associated with pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). Although benign, malignant transformation has been reported in the literature. On literature review, we foun...

pleuropulmonary blastoma [ppb] is a very rare, highly aggressive and malignant tumor that originates from either the lungs or pleura. it occurs mainly in children aged less than five or six years. it has poor prognosis with three different subtypes: cystic [type i], combined cystic and solid [type ii] and solid [type iii]. ppb is treated with aggressive multimodal therapies including surgery an...

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is the most frequent pediatric lung tumor and often the first indication of a pleiotropic cancer predisposition, DICER1 syndrome, comprising a range of other individually rare, benign and malignant tumors of childhood and early adulthood. The genetics of -associated DICER1 tumorigenesis are unusual in that tumors typically bear neomorphic missense mutations at on...
