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.
