CASE 807: GB TUMOR, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr LÝ TRƯỜNG XUÂN, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 32 year-old woman with epigastric painful cramping crisis for 4 months that was failed in gastritis management. Last night the cramping pain was getting worse and nausea feeling which made her going to Medic Center.

Ultrasound detected  two echoic masses #35x17mm and 25x13 mm into her gallbladder and GB wall thickening #13 mm. There were some lymph nodes at the liver hilus and the pancreatic head.

Surgery removed the GB tumor and the histopathological result of the specimen were a differentiazied adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder and lymph node inflammation.

CASE 806: RCC in Young Patient, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr NGUYỄN PHƯỚC TOÀN , MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 20 year-old man in general check-up without hematuria nor abnormal symptoms.

Ultrasound detected a #37 milimeter in diameter cystic mass at posterior face of the right kidney bulging the renal capsule. Lab data were in normal range.

MSCT confirmed the # 3X4 cm cystic tumor of the right kidney, BOSNIAK IV which bulged the renal capsule.

Endoscopic surgery removed the tumor with one half of the right kidney.

Result of the microscopic specimen was a clear cell RCC.

The patient still remains well in four years later follow- up.

CASE 805: BOWEL INTUSSUSCEPTION in Elderly Patient due to POLYP, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr TRẦN THÙY TRANG, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 63 year-old woman with some painful cramp crisis for one month but which was  increasing more and more in one week before going to Medic Center.

Ultrasound detected the  #64x35 milimeter mass of the bowel intussusception at RLQ with vasculature of the mass that synchronously existed the GB stones and the #27 mm right adrenal tumor.

MSCT confirmed the bowel intussusception, right adrenal tumor and GB stones.

Surgery removed the bowel part with the polyp inside.

Microscopic result of the polyp was a mixed hemangioma.

Intussusception in elderly patient is usually due to a tumor and in our case that was a single polyp originated a mixed hemagioma.

CASE 804: SYNCHRONOUS GASTRIC and COLON CANCER, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr PHAM CHI TOAN, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

 A 50 year-old man with loss of weight, altered bowel habit, fatigue and abdominal pain.

Ultrasound detected gastric cancer and gastroendoscopy and MSCT confirmed later.

Gastric endoscopy and biopsy result.

MSCT

Synchronous gastric and colon cancer is still rare, # 2.5% in male patient within 6 months.

CASE 803: GERMINOMA METASTASE, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr PHẠM HUỲNH BẢO TRÂN, Dr LÝ VĂN PHÁI, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

A 42 year-old man with LLQ pain and  defecation troubles and some left neck lymph nodes for one week. He lost # 2kg. He denied to ask doctor his swollen right scrotum as ashamed of it.

Abdominal  and neck ultrasound detected some lymph nodes ( most big size # 51mm) into abdomen and retroperitoneum which were hypoechoic pattern maybe due to lymphoma infiltration.

Some 9-21 mm lymph nodes at left posterior triangular neck.

Lab data result has beta2 microglobulin elevated.

Histopathological biopsy result of the subclavian  node was lymphoma big cell. But histoimmunochemostaining was a germinoma metastase to lymph node.

Fuĺl body MSCT performed to evaluate the lymph nodes

But MSCT detected a # 46x58 mm right testicular tumor with metastase lymph nodes in the abdomen and retroperitoneum, at the groins and the subclavian region and left neck.

Scrotal ultrasound later confirmed a # 76x66x36 mm right testicular tumor and inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes metastase.

Surgery removed the right testicular tumor and 

planning of chemotherapy management. The patient remains well and ceases GI tract trouble.

Germinoma in elderly patient is rare entity and the ashamed feeling of his big scrotum was one dramatic cause for a difficult diagnosis.

CASE 2:

A 68 year-old with managed liver tumor was detected Warthin tumor in the left parotid in period check-up by ultrasound.

CASE 800: SMALL BREAST CANCER INCIDENTALLY DETECTION, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr JASMINE THANH XUAN, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM

 A 66 year-old woman with a #10x7 millimeter spicular hypoechoic mass which invaded the skin above,  and a # 3.8 millimeter small node satellite, both of two lesions were nearby the nipple of the right breast. They were incidentally detected by ultrasound as small carcinoma, BI-RADS 4C. Strain elasticity was hard code. Axillary lymph nodes were inflamed nodes, LN-RADS 2.

Mammogram showed one right breast lesion beside the nipple, BI-RADS 4.

MRI confirmed the #11x9x10 millimeter tumor of the right breast, BI-RADS 5. Right axillary nodes still exist the hilus.

Results of core biopsy was an invasive breast carcinoma of no typical type, grade 2.

Histoimmunostaining result was an invasive carcinoma of the right breast.
