ABSTRACT

Nodular amyloidoma in the lungs is a rare entity, also the occurrence of extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the lungs is rare. To have concomitant EMP and amyloidoma presented as a single lung mass is even rarer. There was only one similar case reported in the abstract form previously. Our case did not respond to many novel chemotherapy agents, suggesting that this combination of amyloidoma and plasmacytoma belonged to a poor prognosis entity, requiring different treatment modalities, such as early bone marrow transplantation or CART (chimeric antigen receptors T) therapy.

ABSTRACT

Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is an uncommon benign vascular tumor of mesenchymal origin. It mainly presents as expanding nodules around the ear, the forehead, and long bones. Only a handful of cases have been found in cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral vertebrae as lytic lesions with pain and neurological impairment. We present the case of a 36-year-old female with an incidental finding of a sacral mass along with inguinal lymphadenopathy on imaging. Initially, there were no symptoms. The mass gradually progressed and later showed an extraosseous extension with involvement of sacral neural foramina and nerve roots causing severe low back pain and weakness of the left lower extremity. Differential diagnoses initially included secondary metastases and chordoma. However, the biopsy of the mass revealed findings consistent with an EH. To our knowledge, this is the first case of EH presenting as an isolated mass in the sacrum and the third case of EH involving the sacrum in continuation with other vertebrae. EH should be in our differential diagnoses when there is a sacral mass.
