Project description:IntroductionSmooth muscle tumors of the vulva are more difficult to diagnose and are frequently mistaken as Bartholin cysts prior to surgery.Case presentationA 41-year-old female presented with a left vulvar mass that increased in size compared to the previous year. The patient had normal urination and a regular menstrual cycle. The presentation was not associated with dyspareunia, abnormal bleeding, and signs of infection (e.g., fever, vaginal discharge). The history of any sexually transmitted disease was inconclusive. There was also no family history of malignancy. Physical examination showed a solitary swelling mass, measuring 5 × 2 cm in the left labia majora at the site of the Bartholin gland. The mass was firm in consistency, partially movable, and non-tender with no inguinal lymphadenopathy. Histopathology after surgical removal revealed a benign vulvar leiomyoma.DiscussionLabia majora leiomyoma at the site of the Bartholin gland is rather uncommon. Some cases can develop into atypical leiomyoma or even leiomyosarcoma with local tissue infiltration.ConclusionIf the clinical picture is unusual, it is better to send the patient for ultrasound and MRI to exclude other causes followed by performing wide local surgical excision of the mass to allow proper histopathological and/or immunohistochemistry examination to differentiate between benign and malignant tumors.

Osteosarcoma arising from acetabulum extended to femoral head through round ligament: a case report.

Project description:A skip metastasis was defined as a solitary separate focus of osteosarcoma occurring synchronously with a primary osteosarcoma in the absence of anatomic extension. The progression of skip metastasis is considered less likely because the articular cartilage acts as a barrier, so there have been few reports on progression of the extremity bone tumor across a joint. In our case report, the acetabular osteosarcoma progressed to the femoral head through the ligament of the femoral head. From the findings of magnetic resonance imaging and resected specimen and tissue specimen, we considered that the tumor progressed between ligament and synovial tissue covering the ligament, and not passing through the inside of the ligament. This case suggested a possibility that the tumor might progress through the synovium around the ligament of femoral head in the cases of osteosarcoma arising from the proximal femur and acetabulum.
