Granular cell myoblastoma.

Electron microscopic observations in three cases of granular cell myoblastoma revealed that this tumor is made up of two types of cells. 1) Granular cells grouped into nests, surrounded by a basement membrane, and displaying characteristic inclusions. Numerous processes were observed close to these cells, showing filamentous and microtubular components lying parallel to their axes. 2) Satellite fibroblasts which included angulated bodies. The relationship between these two types of cells is discussed.

Sarcoma after injection of intramuscular iron.

Two cases are presented of sarcomata arising at the site of previous iron dextran injections. One of the tumours showed a histological pattern associated with iron dextran administration in animal experiments.

Granular cell myoblastoma: positive staining for carcinoembryonic antigen.

An immunoperoxidase technique for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen was applied to 10 cases of granular cell myoblastoma. Consistent, strong, intracytoplasmic granular staining, which can be easily interpreted, was obtained in all cases. Schwannomas, neurofibromas, dermatofibromas, and leiomyomas were negative. The test is helpful in confirming doubtful cases. The results tend to support the suggestion that granular cell myoblastoma is derived from perineural rather than endoneural cells.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with CNS involvement.

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) represent a spectrum of neoplasms that occur in the mesentery and retroperitoneum and less frequently in the mediastinum of children and young adults. Transformation into inflammatory fibrosarcoma and metastases are rare. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 16-year-old patient with an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the mesentery with mediastinal metastases. Partial remission was obtained by chemotherapy with ifosfamide, dactinomycine, and vincristine. Two months later, relapse with infiltration of the meninges developed, and the patient died. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates unusual features of an IMT: presentation with metastases, excellent response to chemotherapy, dissemination to the CNS.

Granular cell tumors of the tongue.

We have presented a series of 19 new cases of granular cell tumors of the tongue. This benign condition is often difficult to diagnose if an adequate biopsy specimen has not been obtained. Insufficient biopsy material that includes only the overlying pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may distort the pathologic picture. Review of frozen sections should provide an accurate diagnosis, and local surgical excision should resolve the problem completely.

Granular cell myoblastoma of the parapharyngeal space.

A granular cell myoblastoma of the parapharyngeal space is presented. Although uncommon, this neoplasm of controversial origin must be considered in the differential diagnosis of all nonenhancing parapharyngeal space masses.

Granular cell tumor of the eye (myoblastoma): ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies.

The clinical and pathological characteristics of a myoblastoma of the orbital are described. The tumor presented as a painless hard mass in the left orbit of a 56-year-old caucasian male, causing diplopia and hypertrophy of the left eye in the primary visual position. Light microscopy studies revealed a typical granular cell tumor with PAS-positive intracytoplasmic granules. Immunoperoxidase studies showed positivity for S-100 protein and desmin. Electron microscopy studies showed numerous intracellular myelin degenerative bodies. The patient developed an epidermoid cyst at the site of initial surgery, but has no signs of local or distant disease two years after initial treatment.
