Primary Ewing sarcoma of the kidney: a case report and treatment review

Abstract

Ewing sarcomas/primitive neuroectodermal tumors (ES/PNET) of the kidney are rarely found high-grade malignant tumors, offering poor prognosis. Although established treatment guidelines for ES of kidney are scarce, a multi-modality treatment approached is typically implemented. Herein, we report a 14-year-old female patient with ES of right kidney. Post-nephrectomy disease recurrence was treated with chemotherapy (i.e., vincristine, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide); marked reduction in tumor size (i.e., from 18.5 9 11.3 cm 2 to 3.7 9 2.2 cm 2 ; *96% reduction in size) as per computed tomography images was observed. We present our treatment experience and review from the available literature.

A Case Report of Triple-Positive Micropapillary Carcinoma of the Male Breast

“…This report presents the first case of MPC of the male breast from Pakistan, as part of our recently initiated project ‘Centralized Registry Program for Uncommon Tumors' where incidences of rare tumors are being recorded [14,15,16]; this project aims to ascertain a reliable national database for uncommon tumors, enabling the assessment and comparison of rare tumors arising in Pakistan with similar studies. Moreover, the project/database will provide insight into treatment options for these uncommon tumors and their outcomes, with particular emphasis on local and individual circumstances and patient values.…”

Malignant pleural mesothelioma: Presentation of a case report

“…In this context, we have initiated a centralized registry program for rare tumors, such as MPM. Indeed, we have begun to implement the program [11,12]; this study which reports the first case of MPM from Pakistan is part of the mentioned project. We believe that this program would ascertain a reliable database of rare tumors, enabling the assessment and comparison of our rare tumor epidemics.…”

Astroblastoma in a Young Female Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review of Clinicopathological, Radiological and Prognostic Characteristics and Current Treatment Strategies

“…Astroblastoma is a rare tumor of glial origin, with predominant manifestation in young age. Herein, we have reported the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of astroblastoma from Pakistan, as part of our project entitled as “centralized registry program for uncommon tumors,” where incidence of several uncommon malignancies have been recently reported from this platform [ 15 16 17 ]. This registry program would hopefully establish a reliable national database of uncommon tumors, not only expanding the pool of uncommon cancers for their better understanding but also enabling the comparison of our epidemic patterns with similar studies.…”
