Adrenal Crest in Testicular Tissue of an Undescended Testis in an Adult Patient: A Case Report.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectopic adrenal cortical tissue (EACT) in the undescended testis (UDT) of an adult male patient. The patient presented with an empty left scrotum since birth, and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis of left-side UDT. Orchidectomy was performed, and a microscopic examination revealed a UDT with EACT. The patient had no significant medical or surgical history and had a normal preoperative hormonal profile. EACT is usually found incidentally during surgical procedures and is more common in children than adults. This case emphasizes the importance of investigating adrenal rests due to the potential of neoplastic transformation or hormonal activity. The case report concludes that EACT of the UDT is still a possibility in the adult patient population.

Uterine Myxoid Tumor: A Case Report on a Mysterious and Unexpected Diagnosis.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are soft-tissue tumors that are rarely malignant. They can occur throughout the body but are rarely seen in the female genital tract. To our knowledge, the literature reports only a few cases of uterine IMTs. This article describes a 60-year-old female with a uterine IMT presumed to be a fibroid. The correct diagnosis was made based on a combination of gross appearance, microscopic findings from multiple hematoxylin and eosin-stained tumor slides, and immunohistochemical staining. We also provide a literature review and compare our findings to other reported cases.

Two Different Meningioma Variants in the Same Tumor: A Rare Histopathological Finding.

We report a case of meningioma with both secretory and lipomatous features in an advanced middle aged female patient with a 3-month history of headaches and convulsions. Radiological findings are revised and compared to other reported cases in the literature.

Extensive Paneth cell metaplasia in an ovarian Krukenberg tumor: report of an unusual case and literature review.

Paneth cells are classified as secretory cells which are normally found in the cecum and ascending colon. Their presence in other parts of the gastrointestinal tract is regarded as abnormal and indicates metaplasia. Paneth cells may also be rarely found in gastrointestinal, biliary and prostatic tumors. The presence of Paneth cells in ovarian Krukenberg tumors is rare and to the best of our knowledge is restricted to metastatic appendiceal goblet cells tumors. We report a rare case of unilateral metastatic gastric carcinoma to the ovary in a 23-year-old female. This tumor showed unusual extensive Paneth cells metaplasia with classical signet ring cell morphology.

Thalamic germinoma: a challenging diagnosis, case report and literature review.

The thalamus and basal ganglia are unusual locations for an intracranial germ cell tumors. We are reporting a rare case of thalamic germinoma in an 18-year-old male. Challenging presentation, radiological appearance and pathological finding after surgical intervention delayed the diagnosis and treatment. Also, we are providing an extensive literature review. Diagnosis of thalamic germinoma is challenging because of non-specific symptoms, rare location and inconclusive radiological findings. An early tissue diagnosis associated with good outcome.
