RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN: el Hemangiopericitoma (HPC) es un tumor hipervascular infrecuente que constituye menos del 1% de todos los tumores del Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC) y aproximadamente el 3% de los tumores vinculados a las meninges. Son tumores agresivos que requieren un tratamiento enérgico mediante cirugía y radioterapia, y a pesar del mismo, generalmente son tumores recidivantes, pudiendo generar metástasis a distancia. OBJETIVOS: comunicar el primer caso en que se hace diagnóstico con un panel inmunohistoquímico completo de HPC en Uruguay, y a partir del mismo, se realiza una revisión bibliográfica. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO: en primer lugar se presenta un caso clínico de un paciente que fue asistido en el Hospital de Clínicas. Mediante estudios de imagen se sospecha probable HPC, es intervenido quirúrgicamente de coordinación y el diagnóstico definitivo se realiza mediante estudio de anatomía patológica que incluye técnica inmunohistoquímica. A partir de este caso clínico ilustrativo se realizó una puesta al día sobre esta patología. DISCUSIÓN: a nivel intracraneano, los HPC tienen una distribución similar a los meningiomas, con una base de implantación dural. Tal es su similitud con los meningiomas, que fueron considerados como una variante meningoblástica o angiomatosas de los mismos. Desde 1993 se los clasifica como un grupo aparte, presentando 2 variantes: clásica, de bajo grado (grado II) y anaplásico (grado III). El estudio histopatológico (morfológico e inmunohistoquimico) es fundamental ya que los diferencia definitivamente a los meningiomas de los HCP. En cuanto a los marcadores, y siguiendo la bibliografía referente, nuestro caso reportado fue negativo para CD 34 pero positivo para factor VIIIa. CONCLUSIONES: los HPC del SNC son tumores poco frecuentes, con un comportamiento agresivo, tendencia a recurrir y dar metástasis a distancia. Por lo que es fundamental tener siempre presente este tipo de lesiones en patología tumoral de meninges. Un diagnóstico rápido con estudio histológico y confirmación immunohistoquímica permite llegar al diagnostico y a un tratamiento oportuno agresivo, ya que el mismo es lo único que está demostrado que mejora el pronóstico.


INTRODUCTION: the haemangio-pericytoma (HPC) is a rare hypervascular tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all the Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor and approximately 3% of the tumors involving the meninges. They are aggressive tumors that require an energetic therapy including surgery and radiotherapy, despite which the tumors tend to relapse, potentially giving rise to distant metastases. OBJECTIVES: to report the first case where the diagnosis is reached with the comprehensive immuno-histochemistry panel for HPC in Uruguay, and literature review based on that case. MATERIALS AND METHOD: we describe the case of a patient treated at the Hospital de Clínicas. Imaging studies suggested a potential HPC; the patient underwent scheduled surgery and the final diagnosis was reached through the pathology assessment, using immunohistochemistry. A literature review of the condition is presented on the basis of the clinical report. DISCUSSION: at an intracranial level, HPCs have a distribution similar to that of meningiomas, with a dural implantation. They are so much alike meningiomas that they were considered to be a meningoblastic or angiomatous variant of those tumors. Since 1993 they are classified as a separate group with 2 variations: classical, low-grade (grade II) and anaplastic (grade III). The histology test (morphological and immunohistochemistry) is essential, since it reveals the differences between HCPs and meningiomas. As to markers, in accordance with the bibliography, our case was reported as negative for CD 34 but was positive for factor VIIIa. CONCLUSIONS: SNC HPCs are uncommon tumors that behave aggressively; they tend to relapse and cause distant metastases. Hence, it is always crucial to bear this diagnosis in mind when facing a meningeal tumor. A quick diagnosis including histology and immuno-histochemical confirmation allows for a timely aggressive therapy- the only thing that improves prognosis.

RESUMEN

A 39-year-old female presented with a fleshy nasal polyp occluding the left nasal cavity, associated with haemopurulent discharge. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of the paranasal cavities revealed a large polypoid tumour arising from the left middle turbinate and obstructing the left maxillary sinus ostium. However, no bony or intracranial involvement was identified. A biopsy revealed a tumour with small blue round cell morphology. The tumour cells showed diffuse strong membranous CD99 positivity and patchy CD34 positivity. Ancillary cytogenetic tests for the EWSR1 and SS18/SYT gene translocations were negative. In view of the non-invasive nature of the tumour and the low cell proliferative index (Ki-67) of 5%, a medial maxillectomy resection was performed. The resection revealed additional areas with spindle-cell morphology and focal haemangiopericytic vasculature. The tumour continued to show immunoreactivity to CD99 and CD34, as well as Smooth Muscle Actin (SMA) and Muscle Specific Actin (MSA). The overall findings are in keeping with a sinonasal haemangiopericytoma. With clear surgical resection margins, the patient is on routine follow-up and is currently disease-free.

RESUMEN

Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour characterised by tightly packed tumour cells situated around thin walled endothelial lined vascular channels, ranging from capillary sized vessels to large gaping sinusoidal spaces. The tumour cells are surrounded by reticulin and are negative for muscle, nerve and epithelial markers. The diagnosis of extra-pulmonary intra-thoracic, extra-pleural mediastinal mass is difficult. It constitutes only 6% of all primary tumours and cysts of the mediastinum. We report the rare occurrence of primary intra-thoracic, extra-pulmonary mediastinal haemangiopericytoma of mesenchymal origin with perivascular localisation. The patient underwent right postero-lateral thoracotomy and postoperatively received chemotherapy with adriamycin (60 mg/m2) on day 1 and ifosfamide (1.5 g/m2) on day 1 to 3. Thirtyseven months after the operation, the patient has been well with evidence of a single recurrence in the left lower lobe.

RESUMEN

Tumor fibroso solitário extrapleural (TFS) é neoplasia mesenquimal rara, sendo que há menos de 40 casos descritos com localização em extremidades até o presente momento. Acomete preferencialmente pacientes na quinta década e não tem predileção por sexo. Relatamos um caso com os aspectos clínicos, radiológicos, histológicos e imunoistoquímicos característicos, discutindo a importância do diagnóstico diferencial com outros sarcomas.Pouco é conhecido sobre o comportamento biológico do TFS. Fatores de risco para menor sobrevida livre de metástases incluem: margens cirúrgicas comprometidas, tamanho maior que 10 cm e histologia maligna. Excisão completa é o tratamento recomendado.


Extrapleural solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm, with less than 40 cases reported affecting the extremities so far. This tumour affects preferentially middle-aged patients (median: 50 years) and shows no predilection for sex. We report a case with typical clinical, radiologic, histopathologic and immunohistochemical features, discussing the importance of differential diagnosis of other sarcomas. Little is known about the biological behavior of SFT. Risk factors for shorter metastasis-free survival include impaired surgical margins, tumor size greater than 10 cm and malignant histology. Complete excision is the recommended treatment.

RESUMEN

CT demonstration of 4 cases of infratentorial haemangioblastoma and 2 cases of supratentorial malignant haemangiopericytoma conformed surgically and pathologically in our hospital were analyzed in this article. We think, that Infratentorial cystic haemangioblastoma has typical CT demonstrations. In general, the qualitative diagnosis of it may be achieved. CT demonstration of supratentorial malignant haemangiopericytoma is atypical, so it is difficult to differentiate from other intracranial tumors and brain abscess. In the end it is only defined by histology.
