“…Approximately 80 cases of MPE have been reported in the English literature, and we analyzed the clinical characteristics of 57 cases [3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33] based on information and articles we found in MEDLINE (table 1). The mean age of MPE patients was 59 years, with similar gender distribution, and the left pleural cavity was more commonly involved.…”

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm of plasma cell origin. Pleural effusion may develop in the setting of MM due to various reasons, but myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is rare. We report a case of MPE in a patient with advanced MM. A 76-year-old woman with MM was admitted to hospital because of dyspnea. Chest X-ray showed right-sided pleural effusion. Protein electrophoresis of the pleural fluid showed monoclonal protein, and cytology demonstrated monoclonal plasma cells. Hospice care was implemented, and the patient died one month later. We present an analysis of the clinical characteristics of 57 MPE cases reported in the English literature. Our review revealed that MPE patients had poor overall survival irrespective of whether MPE develops in the course of their disease or presents as the initial manifestation of MM. Based on this analysis, MPE is a poor prognostic factor, and aggressive treatment should be considered, especially for patients with early-onset MPE.

“…It is derived from the pericytes of Zimmerman, which are pericapillary mesenchymal cells with a contractile ability [3, 4]. Owning to its vascular origin, HP can arise in any part of the body; however, the vast majority of these tumors occur in the soft tissue [4, 5, 6]. HP of the bone is very rare, accounting for 0.1% of malignant primary bone tumors and 11% of malignant vascular bone tumors [5, 6].…”

Acquired Ichthyosis Triggered by an Osseous Hemangiopericytoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of cutaneous keratinization disorders that can be congenital or acquired. Apart from neoplastic disorders, the acquired form of ichthyosis (AI) has been associated with a variety of diseases including infections, autoimmune/inflammatory and endocrine/metabolic diseases as well as nutritional conditions, medications and others. However, malignancy accounts for half of the reported cases, most commonly including lymphoproliferative disorders. We present a case of AI as a paraneoplastic skin manifestation of a primary, osseous hemangiopericytoma (HP) accompanied by multiple liver metastases. We also review the literature and discuss the necessity of investigating underlying diseases, especially malignancy, when adult-onset ichthyosis arises.

“…HPCs in the spine may involve the structures of the vertebra and the spinal canal, including the extradural and intradural space. Our search of the literature showed that 140 cases of HPC in the spine had been reported (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56), and 64 cases were extradural (2, 4-6, 8-10, 15, 20-22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 31, 32, 34, 35, 37, 40-42, 44-46, 49, 51, 53-55) (Table I). Here we present a case of primary HPC invasion in the cervicothoracic spine, as well as presenting a review of the literature.…”

A case of hemangiopericytoma in the cervicothoracic spine is reported. A 43-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with pain in the scapular region radiating to the left upper extremity, numbness, and weakness of the legs. Magnetic resonance image revealed an intraspinal, extradural mass at the level of the C6-T2 vertebral bodies. The lesion also involved the dorsal paraspinal area with a giant mass. A total resection of the tumor was performed and histopathological findings revealed a malignant hemangiopericytoma. The patient showed rapid neurological function improvement after surgery. It is well-recognized that hemangiopericytoma is an aggressive tumor with a high risk of recurrence and propensity to metastasize. The tumor is rarely found in the central nervous system, and only a few reports could be found in the literature. We present a case of cericothoracic spinal hemangiopericytoma with an intensive review of the literature. KEywoRds: Hemangiopericytoma, Cervicothoracic spine, Extradural tumor, Total resection ÖZServikotorasik omurgada bir hemanjiyoperisitom olgusu sunulmaktadır. 43 yaşında bir erkek hastanemize skapüler bölgede oluşan ve sol üst ekstremiteye yayılan ağrı, uyuşukluk ve bacaklarda kuvvetsizlik ile geldi. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme C6-T2 vertebral cisimler seviyesinde bir intraspinal, ekstradural kitle ortaya çıkardı. Lezyon ayrıca dev bir kitleyle dorsal paraspinal bölgeyi tutuyordu. Tümörün total rezeksiyonu yapıldı ve histopatolojik bulgular bir malign hemanjiyoperisitom gösterdi. Hasta cerrahiden sonra nörolojik olarak hızla iyileşti. Hemanjiyoperisitomun yüksek nüks riski ve metastaz eğilimi olan agresif bir tümör olduğu bilinmektedir. Tümör, merkez sinir sisteminde nadiren bulunur ve literatürde sadece birkaç olgu saptanmıştır. Literatürün kapsamlı bir gözden geçirilmesiyle bir servikotorasik spinal hemanjiyoperisitom olgusu sunuyoruz.
