Scan to discover onlinePrimary leiomyosarcoma in testis is an uncommon tumor with few cases reported. It generally develops after radiotherapy or long-term taking anabolic steroid medication. We report a 53-year-old male patient with primary testis leiomyosarcoma who presented with painless testicular enlargement without any known predisposing factors. Ultrasound revealed a large heterogeneous left testicular solid lesion. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-HCG) levels in serum were normal. Left radical orchidectomy following with histology assessment established a diagnosis of primary leiomyosarcoma of testis. No data of cancer metastasis was established. The patient didn't receive any adjuvant therapy. There wasn't any evidence of recurrence after 1 year follow-up. Leiomyosarcoma must be one of the differential diagnoses of seronegative tumors in testis. The motivation for this paper is the extreme infrequency of the situation and the differential diagnosis by all expansive inguinoscrotal tumors.
Introduction: Periductal Stromal Sarcoma (PSS), especially spindle and epithelioid types, is a rare subtype of the malignant fibroepithelial tumor with benign ductal elements and a sarcomatous stroma composed of spindle cells. The therapeutic management of PSS is based on wide surgery with free margins, and adjuvant therapies are not required. Case Presentation: This report describes a 37-year-old woman who presented to Shariati hospital with a right breast mass for review and a second opinion pathology report. The patient had undergone a radical mastectomy in another hospital three months previously. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed PSS and all dissected lymph nodes were free of tumor. Based on the diagnosis, the patient received no adjuvant treatment (such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy). After nine months of close follow-up examinations, no recurrence was observed. Conclusion: PSS is an extremely rare disease with low-grade sarcomatous behavior, which may evolve into a phyllodes tumor or an entity of breast cancer. Therefore, frequent follow-up examinations are required.
