Intravitreal rituximab was used with no effect. The patient was then referred to radiotherapy and underwent external beam radiotherapy with VMAT. There were no acute toxicities to report. After the radiotherapy treatment, at 1-year follow-up, the patient has no evidence of disease. Long-term toxicities were recorded and are considered manageable. The present case emphasizes the role of ocular irradiation as an option in the management of intraocular lymphoma patients, including in the salvage setting, with an acceptable ocular toxicity profile.Myoepithelial carcinoma, also known as malignant myoepithelioma, is considered an extremely rare (0.45-1%) malignant salivary gland neoplasm. Approximately 100 cases have been reported in the English-language literature on myoepithelial carcinoma. The majority of the myoepitheliomas described in the literature have been benign, and the malignant counterpart is considered rare ( less then 1%). Selleck IMD 0354 Such a tumor may appear de novo or rarely develop from a preexisting pleomorphic adenoma ( less then 20%), and in exceedingly rare cases ( less then 0.5%), it has arisen from a benign myoepithelioma (i.e., plasmacytoid myoepithelioma). To our knowledge, no case of myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland arising in a plasmacytoid myoepithelioma synchronized with melanoma has been reported to date. The treatment of myoepithelial carcinoma has been mainly surgical, including wide excision with free margins, with or without nodal dissection. The roles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy have not yet been established. We report a case of myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland arising in a plasmacytoid myoepithelioma synchronized with melanoma in a 40-year-old woman. In our case, a complete response was achieved with surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy based on carboplatin and paclitaxel concurrent with radiotherapy.Breast metastasis from gastric signet ring cell carcinoma is extremely rare in clinical practice. The estimated incidence is 0.5-1.3%. There are few cases reported in the literature (approx. less than 60) of breast metastasis from gastric signet ring cell carcinoma, and due to the rare association between gastric cancer and its extension to the breast, it is difficult to establish the diagnosis. Clinical history, histological findings, and immunohistochemical markers are helpful in distinguishing primary breast cancer from breast metastasis of gastric cancer. The treatment for breast metastasis from gastric carcinoma remains controversial. The prognosis of breast metastasis from gastric carcinoma is generally poor. We report a case of breast metastasis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma in a 38-year-old woman. She started chemotherapy with ramucirumab, paclitaxel, and irinotecan. Three months later, a combined 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed a complete response. This is the first reported case of breast metastasis from gastric signet ring cell carcinoma with a complete response.Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare skin necrotizing disease that can arise on a site of surgical trauma. Its pathogenesis has recently been related to dysregulation of the immune system, with inflammatory bowel disease representing the most commonly underlying systemic conditions. Several authors have also reported an association with solid malignancies (especially gastrointestinal and breast cancer). We describe the case of a 39-year-old patient diagnosed with a locally advanced, triple-negative breast cancer who developed a pyoderma gangrenosum on the surgical wound after a CVC implant with systemic complications. As the diagnosis and management of postsurgical pyoderma gangrenosum can be challenging for clinicians, underlying conditions as autoimmune disease and solid tumors have to be considered in order to guide treatment.The vast majority of patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the trunk and bilateral lung metastases at diagnosis are considered incurable. These tumors have poor prognosis as only a palliative therapeutic approach can be offered to patients. We report on an extremely rare case in which bilateral lung metastases disappeared spontaneously following surgical resection of the primary CIC-rearranged sarcoma with no addition of chemotherapy or any other systemic therapy. A 53-year-old female presented with a rapidly swelling mass on her back. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the chest revealed a large soft tissue mass on the posterior chest wall and bilateral lung metastases. Soon after stereotactic core-needle biopsy confirmation of round-cell sarcoma, the patient underwent surgery of the primary tumor as it started to be increasingly symptomatic. The resected specimen was pathologically diagnosed a poorly differentiated grade 3 sarcoma. Approximately 1 month later, a new CT scan revealed that the lung metastases were smaller and some of them had completely disappeared. Shortly afterward, the patient started adjuvant external beam radiotherapy of the tumor bed for 14 months. During the last follow-up visit, the patient confirmed no evidence of disease for 35 months postoperatively. In parallel, a histological study of pulmonary nodules, molecular analyses of the tumor, and a comprehensive study of the patient's immunophenotype were performed to gain some additional insights in the potential causes of this rare phenomenon.We report the case of a 57-year-old woman who presented with local invasion of the anal canal by mucinous adenocarcinoma, the malignant transformation of a long-term preexisting retrorectal tailgut cyst. This progression is infrequent and justifies preemptive surgical treatment of retrorectal cysts.Dysgerminoma is an uncommon malignant tumor arising from the germ cells of the ovary. Its association with pregnancy is extremely rare, with a reported incidence of about 0.2-1 per 100,000 pregnancies. Women in the reproductive age group are more commonly affected. It can be extremely rare to conceive naturally, without assisted reproductive interventions, in cases with ovarian dysgerminoma. If a pregnancy does occur with a concurrent dysgerminoma, it is even more unusual to carry the pregnancy to viability or childbirth without fetal or maternal compromise. We report a case of right ovarian dysgerminoma in a young female with a viable intrauterine pregnancy at 10 weeks, which is rarely diagnosed and managed at this gestational age. Numerous factors played a role in her favorable outcome, including early suspicion by ultrasound and presenting history, surgery, histopathological assessment, imaging, and involvement of the multidisciplinary oncology team. Ovarian neoplasms may rapidly increase in size within a short period with little or no symptoms.
