Leiomyosarcomas typically originate in smooth muscle cell. Leiomyosarcoma potentially arising from the adrenal gland is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumors associated with delayed diagnosis and poor prognosis.
A 34-year-old man visited our department complaining of right hypochondriac pain. Computed tomography demonstrated a solid mass measuring 5.2 cm in diameter above the right kidney, corresponding to the right adrenal gland, and a lymph node mass, which appeared to have invaded the IVC wall. Right adrenalectomy and lymphadenectomy were performed. A microscopic examination revealed primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma with lymph node metastasis. No adjuvant therapy was performed, and the patient remains recurrence-free at 10 months postoperatively.
We experienced a very rare case of primary adrenal leiomyosarcoma. Aggressive surgical resection including vascular reconstruction may be associated with improved survival.
平滑肌肉瘤通常起源于平滑肌细胞。肾上腺潜在发生的平滑肌肉瘤是一种极其罕见的间叶性肿瘤,其诊断往往延迟且预后较差。
一名34岁男性因右侧季肋部疼痛前来我院就诊。计算机断层扫描显示右肾上方有一个直径5.2厘米的实性肿块,对应于右侧肾上腺,还有一个淋巴结肿块,似乎已侵犯下腔静脉壁。遂行右侧肾上腺切除术及淋巴结清扫术。显微镜检查显示为原发性肾上腺平滑肌肉瘤伴淋巴结转移。未进行辅助治疗,患者术后10个月无复发。
我们遇到了一例非常罕见的原发性肾上腺平滑肌肉瘤病例。积极的手术切除,包括血管重建,可能会提高生存率。
