Clitoral metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix on 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI.

Metastasis to the clitoris is extremely rare. Here, we report a highly unusual case of high-grade squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix metastasizing to the clitoris a year following surgery and chemoradiotherapy. The patient presented with a painless clitoral mass identified through physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a diffusely enhancing clitoral mass with hyperintense signals on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-sensitive T2-weighted (T2W) sequences. This malignant tumor was detected by 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) due to its high FDG uptake. Pathological examination confirmed clitoral metastasis. Clitoral metastasis, although exceedingly rare, should be considered in cervical cancer patients presenting with clitoral masses on physical examination and imaging, particularly in those with advanced stages. Our case report is unique because it represents a recurrence in a patient initially diagnosed with early-stage cancer.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Isolated Trisomy 19 Associated with Diffuse Myelofibrosis and Osteosclerosis.

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF), per WHO criteria, is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm that usually presents with a proliferation of granulocytic and megakaryocytic lineages with an associated fibrous deposition and extramedullary hematopoiesis. The bone marrow histologic findings of this disorder are typically characterized by the presence of myeloid metaplasia with an associated reactive fibrosis, angiogenesis, and osteosclerosis. However, marked myelofibrosis is not solely confined to PMF and may also be associated with other conditions including but not limited to acute megakaryoblastic leukemias (FAB AML-M7). Here, we describe a rare case of a non-megakaryoblastic acute myeloid leukemia with marked myelofibrosis with osteosclerosis and an isolated trisomy 19. A 19-year-old male presented with severe bone pain of one week duration with a complete blood cell count and peripheral smear showing a mild anemia and occasional circulating blasts. A follow up computed tomography (CT) scan showed diffuse osteosclerosis with no evidence of hepatosplenomegaly or lymphadenopathy. Subsequently, the bone marrow biopsy showed markedly sclerotic bony trabeculae and a hypercellular marrow with marked fibrosis and intervening sheets of immature myeloid cells consistent with myeloblasts with monocytic differentiation. Importantly, these myeloblasts were negative for megakaryocytic markers (CD61 and vWF), erythroid markers (hemoglobin and E-cadherin), and lymphoid markers (CD3, CD19, and TdT). Metaphase cytogenetics showed an isolated triosomy 19 with no JAK2 V617F mutation. The patient was treated with induction chemotherapy followed by allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation which subsequently resulted in a rapid resolution of bone marrow fibrosis, suggesting graft-anti-fibrosis effect. This is a rare case of a non-megakaryoblastic acute myeloid leukemia with myelofibrosis and osteosclerosis with trisomy 19 that may provide insights into the prognosis and therapeutic options of future cases.

Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the liver: Findings at US, CT, and MRI, with histopathologic correlation.

Malignant rhabdoid tumors are aggressive malignancies that can rarely present as hepatic masses in the pediatric population. The imaging findings are often nonspecific and usually suggest other more common hepatic tumors. We report the radiologic appearance of malignant rhabdoid tumor in a 3-month-old female with pathologic correlation.
