Renal carcinoma with a solitary synchronous contralateral adrenal metastasis: a case report.

A case of synchronous contralateral adrenal metastasis of renal cell carcinoma occurring in a 64-year-old male is reported herein. The patient underwent a left transperitoneal nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma and right adrenalectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. To our knowledge this is the 14th case of contralateral adrenal metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in the international literature.

[Localized fibroma: a rare tumor of pleural origin].

Localized fibroma represents a rare entity arising from the pleura. Currently its histogenesis and clinical behaviour are still controversial. A case of a 64-year-old male is here presented; clinical and histopathological features are then discussed on the basis of a review of the Literature. At present, an en-bloc resection of the tumor, including wide margins of the surrounding lung tissue, seems to be the most appropriate surgical choice.

[Nodular fasciitis: a case arising from the splenius cervicis muscle].

An unusual case of nodular fasciitis, arising from the splenius muscle, is presented. This uncommon lesion is always benign, but a local spread in the surrounding muscular tissue is possible. Through a Literature review, the main pathological, clinical and therapeutic features are discussed.

[Sarcomatoid renal carcinoma. A case report].

Renal sarcomas are rare tumors. Prognosis is overall dismal. Adjuvant therapies should follow radical nephrectomy but no standardized regimen has been at present defined. We report a case of a patient affected by a sarcomatoid renal tumor to detect the best therapeutic approach to this rare tumor.

The role of surgery in the treatment of primary gastric lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to analyze the results of surgical treatment in early and advanced primary gastric lymphoma and to evaluate predictive factors for long-term outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study of 92 patients resected for primary gastric lymphoma was conducted. Sixty-eight (74%) patients underwent a curative resection 10 (11%) patients had palliative resection and 14 (15%) patients were deemed unresectable: 33 patients (36%) had a stage IE tumor, 12 (13%) stage IIE1, 22 (24%) IIE2 and 25 (27%) stage IVE. RESULTS: Follow-up ranged from 1 to 336 months (means 44 +/- 70 months, median 18 months). Cumulative actuarial 10-year survival rate was 49.1%. Ten-year actuarial survival rates were 78.9% for stage IE and 100% for stage IIE1 whereas 5-years survival rates were 0% for stage IIE2 and 21.7% for stage IVE (P < 0.00001). CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment is the front line therapy for IE and IIE1 stages of primary gastric lymphoma.
