Management of Primary Pulmonary Synovial Sarcoma: A Case Report from Northern Pakistan and Review of Literature

Authored by Hadia Fatima
  

Abstract

Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is a rare lung tumor and has mesenchymal origin. It is difficult to diagnose clinically and should be differentiated from other primary and metastatic lung tumors. The definitive diagnosis should be made via careful histopathological evaluation along with immunohistochemistry. Cytogenetic studies detect SYT-SSX-1 variant which has got diagnostic and prognostic value. The disease has poor outcome and complete cure is difficult to achieve. We hereby report a case of 40 year old female who was diagnosed and treated for metastatic primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma at Atomic Energy Cancer Hospital, NORI.

Introduction

Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is an extremely unusual malignancy associated with aggressive behavior and poor clinical outcome [1]. The tumor originates from mesenchymal cells [1]. Synovial sarcomas make up to 8% of soft tissue sarcomas most commonly seen in extremities [1]. Pulmonary sarcomas are even rare making up to just 0.1-0.5% of primary lung malignancies [2]. The differential diagnosis includes metastatic sarcomas and another primary lung cancer [3]. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma behaves like soft tissue synovial sarcoma [4]. PPSS may arise from lung parenchyma, pleura, chest wall and mediastinum [5].

Giant Lipomas of Anterior and Lateral Cervical Region: Management of a Rare Entity

Authored by Omar Iziki

Abstract

Blood is a vital component of human body which is involved in many functions most importantly supplying oxygen along with essential nutrLipomas are the most common mesenchymal tumours of adulthood, infrequently occur in the head and neck region. Lipomas are typically slow-growing tumours, only a few grow to an exceptionally large size. Surgical excision of a lipoma is the gold standard and the definitive treatment modality. In the present study two rare cases of a giant lipoma of lateral and anterior cervical region are presented.

Introduction

Lipoma is a slow growing benign tumor composed of adipose tissue, that can be observed all over the body. They are generally small lesions, weighing only a few grams, Lipomas that are greater than 10cm in with or more than 1000g in weight are considered giant tumors. In 13% of case, lipomas are seen in head and neck region, and they occur regularly on the back of the neck. Anterior and lateral localization of lipoma in the neck is rare. We report two rare cases of giant anterior and lateral cervical lipoma, with successful surgical excision, followed by a brief discussion on diagnosis and management of the disorder.
