Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) was characterized by epithelial neoplastic cells developing in solid or incohesive sheets mixed with a noticeable lymphoid infiltration. Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the bladder (LELCB), which was first described by Zukerberg, is a rare variant of LELC. Here we reported a new case of LELCB occurring in a 70-year-old woman presenting with hematuria. Computed tomography (CT) and cystoscopy revealed a tumor on the left upper wall of the bladder. A partial cystectomy was finally performed. Pathological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed LELCB. After receiving systemic adjuvant chemotherapy, the patient conducted a 25-month follow-up without experiencing a recurrence.
Giant adrenal cysts are rare lesions, most often discovered incidentally. In this case report, a patient presenting with nonspecific abdominal distension is described. Imaging studies revealed a vast cystic mass closely attached to the left adrenal gland. Neither routine laboratory tests nor endocrine function tests revealed abnormalities. By performing open surgery, the cystic mass was completely removed. According to the pathological results, the wall of the cystic mass has an endothelial structure and some vascular components. Comprehensive analysis indicated that this case was an angiomatous adrenal endothelial cyst which was an extremely uncommon form of an adrenal cyst. Over a one-year follow-up, no evidence of recurrence was observed in the patient postoperatively. Through this case, we wish to raise awareness of this disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
