This was amendable to treatment with laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy.Conclusion: This is the first report of an asymptomatic PCC being identified in a patient under the age of 5. With early identification, this was treated surgically before it caused systemic symptoms with preservation of normal adrenal gland tissue. This supports adhering to the pediatric specific guidelines which recommend earlier initiation of PCC screening in pediatric patients with VHL.","PeriodicalId":9625,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncology","volume":"17 1","pages":"1309-1315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11563656/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142615558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also known as metatypical basal cell carcinoma, BSC is typically classified as a skin cancer and represents only 2% of non-melanoma skin malignancies. This type of carcinoma has a poorer prognosis than basal cell carcinoma due to its increased local aggressiveness and metastatic potential.Case presentation: We present the case of a 59-year-old woman with a 3-year history of a slow-growing and painful vulvar lesion. Clinical examination revealed a 35-mm nodular, ulcerating, and non-pigmented lesion located on the labia majora. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of BSC, and staging assessments indicated no evidence of metastasis. The patient underwent partial radical vulvectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, with histological analysis revealing distinct features characteristic of BSC, including basaloid cell islands and areas of significant squamous differentiation. The excision margins were tumor-free, and all six lymph nodes examined were negative for metastases. Regular surveillance for 6 months was conducted without signs of recurrence.Conclusion: After reviewing the literature, this case represents the sixth documented instance of vulvar BSC. Compared to basal cell carcinoma, BSC has a poorer prognosis, with a higher potential for recurrences and metastases. While basal cell carcinoma is much more prevalent among vulvar and skin malignancies, recognizing the squamous differentiation component is crucial for ensuring wider margins during surgical excision.","PeriodicalId":9625,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncology","volume":"17 1","pages":"1282-1288"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11556856/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142615551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung accounts for 50% of MCAO seen in the setting of non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we present the challenging case of a 63-year-old Indigenous Australian Female rom a remote rural community with background history of metastatic SCC of presumed pulmonary origin, who presented with a 1-week history of dyspnoea, stridor, and hoarse voice.Case presentation: A CT chest and neck demonstrated a superior mediastinal mass compressing the trachea to a narrowest diameter of 3 mm. The patient was stabilised in her local health centre, then transferred to our tertiary care facility for further evaluation and management. This stenotic lesion was not amenable to bronchoscopic or surgical intervention but was instead treated successfully with a short course of external beam radiotherapy, to total dose of 25Gy delivered over 10 fractions. The patient had almost complete resolution of respiratory symptoms with no significant radiotherapy related toxicity.Conclusion: Here, we discuss a challenging case of MCAO in a remote rural Australian patient and demonstrate the utility of external beam radiotherapy in this setting. We also discuss aspects of cancer related healthcare disparities which exist for Indigenous Australians. In doing so, we wish to highlight the need for improved cancer healthcare for such communities.","PeriodicalId":9625,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncology","volume":"17 1","pages":"1301-1308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11556858/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142615563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The malignant transformation rate is estimated to be less than 1% and 1-3% in solitary and multiple osteochondromas, respectively. Transformation to osteosarcoma is very rare. Little information is available on treatment or outcome. A rare case of osteosarcoma arising from hereditary multiple osteochondromas of the right iliac bone is reported.Case presentation: A 66-year-old woman presented with recurrent right abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) showed a mass protruding into the pelvic cavity, 9 cm × 7 cm × 7 cm, with bone destruction and internal calcification in the right iliac bone. A CT-guided biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was osteosarcoma. After one course of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide, extensive resection of the tumor was performed. The pathology showed proliferation of highly pleomorphic dysplastic cells with bone formation inside the tumor just below the osteochondroma tissue, which led to the diagnosis of osteosarcoma arising from the osteochondroma. Three years after surgery, there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis, and the patient was able to walk unassisted.Conclusion: A case of osteosarcoma arising from an iliac lesion of hereditary multiple osteochondromas was described. Although no recurrence or metastasis has been observed 3 years after surgery, further follow-up is necessary due to the short time after surgery.","PeriodicalId":9625,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncology","volume":"17 1","pages":"1266-1272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11527461/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142557261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common location for PGL is the head and neck, which comprise 65-70% of all PGL, and the M-PGL accounts for 0.6% of all head and neck cancers. It is a rare tumor, with an incidence of 2-8 per million. Diagnosing PGL can be challenging, and treatment for metastatic disease is usually not curative.Case presentation: A 66-year-old woman was diagnosed with left cervical pain and laterocervical mass in March 2015. Octreotide scintigraphy showed intense uptake in the cervical mass, two pulmonary micronodules of 4-5 mm, and another lesion in the lumbar region (L3-L4). The final diagnosis was malignant nonsecretory PGL with adjacent tissue involvement and distant metastases. After three different treatments with minimal symptomatic improvement, 177Lu-DOTATATE was requested off-label. With a dose of 7,400 MBq until January 2018, the patient showed remarkable symptomatic pain improvement and a decrease in tumor size.Conclusion: We believe that our case report provides relevant information that can be considered in similar cases. First, the patient tripled the expected survival in such a clinical setting, and this benefit seems to rely on 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment. Second, we documented an early symptomatic response to this treatment but a long-term delayed volumetric radiographic response.","PeriodicalId":9625,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Oncology","volume":"17 1","pages":"1252-1257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11524611/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142543935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
