PICC fracture and embolization into pulmonary artery - a rare but potentially life-threatening complication: A case report
VP Krishnan, Shreepal Jain, Jayashree Mishra, Sangeeta MudaliarIndian Journal of Cancer 2020 57(3):340-342
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICCs) are popular means of long-term intravenous access in oncology patients. Fracture and embolization are rare but potentially serious complications. Here we present an unusual fracture of the PICC line in a 9-year-old boy with Ewing's sarcoma with embolization to the right ventricle (RV) and right pulmonary artery (RPA) which was retrieved percutaneously by trans-catheter snare assisted retrieval. Adequate care and precautions like handling by trained nursing sta...

Primary yolk sac tumor of orbit: Report of a rare case
Sandhya V Poflee, Prajkta S Pawar, Nilesh S Gaddewar, Waman K RautIndian Journal of Cancer 2020 57(3):337-339Extragonadal germ cell tumors (GCTs) of head and neck region account for 5% of all benign and malignant GCTs. Orbit is an uncommon site for occurrence of extragonadal GCTs. Pure yolk sac tumor (YST) of orbit is a rare neoplasm and only a few cases are reported in the literature. An 18-month-old boy presented with right eye proptosis of 2 months duration. Because of rapid clinical course and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, neoplastic lesion was suspected. Histopathological examination of the biopsy ...

Primary retroperitoneal GIST: Case report and review of literature
Krunal H Khobragade, Shraddha Patkar, Mahesh Goel, Ayushi SahayIndian Journal of Cancer 2020 57(3):334-336
Extraintestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are mesenchymal tumor with no connection to tubular gastrointestinal system. They commonly arise from omentum and mesentry. Retroperitoneum is a rare primary site. We herein report a case of a 33 year old woman who underwent upfront surgery for primary retroperitoneal gastrointestinal stromal tumor and is now disease-free on adjuvant Imatinib.

A complex karyotype with t(11;12)(q23;p13) translocation with coexistent clones of deletion 5q and cryptic deletion 7q in acute myeloid leukemia
We report a rare case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a cytogenetically complex karyotype with coexistence of KMT2A/MLL Mixed Lineage Leukemia (11q23) rearrangement with 5q deletion and 7q deletion as unrelated clones along with evolution of a subclone with translocation between chromosomes 6 and 17. A novel MLL fusion partner region 12p13 was identified in a 52 year old woman who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin. Unraveling the complexity of genomic alterations occurring in AML patients will lead to better understanding of leukemic transformation and identification of subsets of patients that may respond diff...

Local failure patterns after radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with pN2 nonsmall-cell lung cancer: A retrospective analysis
Chenyu Wang, Haixia Li, Yongshun Chen, Hong GeIndian Journal of Cancer 2020 57(3):323-329
Background: The patterns of local failure in stage pN2 nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy are controversial.
Methods: The sites of local failure were compared in subgroups of patients with relevant clinicopathologic features (e.g., location and size of primary lesions).
Results: Totally 75 patients with local failure after radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for pN2 NSCLC were included in the analysis. Thirty-seven (49.3%) patients had distant metasta...
