Tumor desmoplásico de célula pequeña y redonda paratesticular/testicular: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura / Paratesticular/testicular desmoplastic round small cell malignant tumor: case report and literature review

Resumen El tumor desmoplásico de célula redonda y pequeña (TDCRP) es una patología neoplásica maligna agresiva y poco común. Afecta predominantemente a hombres entre la segunda y tercera década de la vida. Los pacientes que la padecen tienen un pronóstico pobre, con una supervivencia global a 5 años de hasta el 30%. Por lo general se presenta como una masa en la cavidad abdominal, frecuentemente multifocal. Para su tratamiento se recomienda un enfoque multimodal con cirugía, quimioterapia y radioterapia. Poco más de 20 casos de TDCRP a nivel testicular/paratesticular se han reportado en la literatura. A continuación, se presenta un caso ilustrativo en esta localización, se discute el caso y se realiza revisión de la literatura.

Abstract Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive and rare malignant neoplasm. It mainly affects young men in their twenties and thirties. Patients with it have a poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of up to 30%. It generally presents as a mass in the abdominal cavity, often multifocal. A multimodal approach is recommended for its treatment, with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Just over 20 cases of testicular/paratesticular DSRCT have been reported in the literature. Below, we present an illustrative case in this location, we discuss the case and review the literature.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor of the ovary: A case report with a new modality of treatment and review of the literature

Abstract Objective Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare intraabdominal neoplasm that grows along serosal surfaces and is primarily found in young men. To Keywords date, only 16 cases of ovarian DSRCT have been previously reported in women in the English literature, and no large population-based studies on this topic exist. Case Report We report the case of a 19-year-old virgo with unremarkable past medical history, initially presented with abdominal fullness. After being treated with the optimal treatment modality (primary and secondary surgical debulking, unique chemotherapy, protocol and adjuvant radiotherapy), the patient has remained without tumor disease for 40 months. Conclusion Although the best therapy for patients with DSRCT has yet to be determined, combining complete surgical resection, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiotherapy is required to prolong survival and to achieve proper quality of life.

[Desmoplastic small round cell tumor]

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a recently recognized and rare clinicopathologic entity with distinctive morphologic and immuno histochemical features .Moreover, specific cytogenetics abnormalities and molecular characteristics have been described and confirmed its identity. It is often located at the abdominal cavity, but can exceptionally be located at the cerebral level or some soft tissue and the bones of the members. We report a case of Desmoplastic small round cell involving gluteal muscle and iliac bone at a 25-year-old girl. Our patient had been treated by chemotherapy based on ifosfamide, doxorubicine, etoposide and cis platine. The evolution was marked by the tumoral progress and the death of the patient 18 months after the discovery of the disease. The second case is a 27-year old man .He had a retro peritoneal desmoplastic small round cell tumor treated by surgery alone. The evolution was marked by metastasis and the patient died 10 months after diagnosis. The prognosis of these tumors remains unclear in spite of the mulitidisciplinary treatment. Hence the necessity of new lines of therapeutic research
