Disseminated angiomatosis, also referred to as cystic angiomatosis, is a generalized disease that involves bones and soft tissue. It is characterized by multifocal hemangiomatous lesions of the bones with possible visceral organ involvement. The clinical manifestations differ according to the site and the extension of disorder. Here we describe a case of generalized angiomatosis occurring in a ...
Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of at least one sebaceous gland neoplasm and at least one visceral malignancy. Sebaceous adenomas, sebaceous carcinomas, and sebaceomas (sebaceous epitheliomas) are all characteristic glandular tumors of MTS. The most common visceral malignancies associated with MTS are colorectal, followed by genitourinary. These viscer...
Most breast tumors depend on female sex hormones for development and growth, thus being amenable to endocrine therapies. In the management of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, advanced breast cancer, conventional wisdom dictates the use of endocrine therapy for patients with good prognostic features, whereas chemotherapy is recommended for the treatment of visceral crisis. There is, however, con...
Neurofibromatosis or Von Recklinghausen's disease is a rare disease that affects the urogenital system in its visceral form. We report on one case where the patient had a recurring mass located in the vesicouterine space that caused irritative urinary symptoms, which was confirmed as uterine cervix neurofibroma following surgery and immunohistochemical study. We stress the importance of a wide ...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common sarcoma of the alimentary tract and are believed to derive from the interstitial Cell of Cajal. Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec; Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) has revolutionized the treatment of GISTs and is generally used in the metastatic and adjuvant settings. We report the case of a 61-year old man who was treated with neoadjuvant imati...
Patients with Muir-Torre syndrome, an autosomal-dominant familial tumor condition caused by germline mutation of the DNA mismatch repair genes, MSH2 or MLH1, present with tumors of the sebaceous gland and visceral malignancies characterized by microsatellite instability. Here we show development of glioblastoma multiforme in a patient with Muir-Torre syndrome. Immunohistochemical analysis of th...
Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Patients with esophageal cancer usually present with locally advanced disease with presence of metastases at diagnosis (1). Squamous-cell carcinoma is the most common histologic subtype in the proximal and middle thirds of the esophagus. Skin metastases from visceral tumors are rare, with a prevalence of up to ...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly arises from the visceral or parietal pleura. Solitary fibrous tumor with a primary site in the filum terminale has not been reported previously in the literature. Here we report a case of SFT occurring in the filum terminale. The characteristic imaging feature of this tumor is hypointensity on T2-weighted images. Even tho...
Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an ectodermatosis of neurogenetic origin with variable neurological, cutaneous and visceral manifestations. TS is due to the development of benign tumors of the hamartomatous type. First described by Bourneville in 1880, the classic triad characterizing the TS was described by Vogt in 1908 including epilepsy, mental retardation and sebaceous adenomas. The prevalence i...
