  • Successful treatment of Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the sella turcica
    2009
    Co-Authors: Tracy E. Alpert, Seung S. Hahn, Chung T. Chung, Jeffrey A. Bogart, Charles J. Hodge, Craig Montgomery
    Abstract:

    ✓ A primary Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the sella turcica in a patient without a history of radiation treatment is a very rare occurrence. Only one other case has been reported to date, with local recurrence 7 months after the patient underwent subtotal resection and stereotactic radiosurgery of the tumor. The authors present a case of Spindle Cell Sarcoma of the sella turcica successfully treated by surgery, external-beam radiotherapy, and gamma knife radiosurgery. After 24 months of follow up, the patient continues to show no evidence of disease.

  • A case of radiation-induced Spindle Cell Sarcoma of tongue
    Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2004
    Co-Authors: Masahiko Takeda, Meijin Nakayama, Kazuo Yao, Makito Okamoto
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives: Sarcoma arising from tongue is rare. We have experienced a case of Sarcoma possibly induced by previous radiation to the oral cavity. The clinical course and the management of this tumor is presented Methods: A 70-year-old male received chemoradiotherapy to his mesopharyngeal cancer (T3N1M0) in December 2000. The patient was well until July 2003 when he has had a rapidly growing mass lesion arising from the right edge of tongue. A couple of biopsies were done and the pathology showed granulation without malignancy. Because of the further rapidly growing tumor mass in October 2003, a radical excision of the tumor was done. Results: A 7 × 4 × 5.5 cm grayish elastic hard tumor was removed from his oral cavity. The tumor invaded deeply into the tongue and hence the right one third of the tongue was excised along with the tumor. Histopathologically, the tumor showed interwoven Spindle-shaped Cells with marked atypia. Part of the Spindle Cells infiltrated into the tongue tissues. Immunohistochemical stains showed AE1(-), CAM5.2(-), Vimentin(+), f ? -SMA(+). Radiation-induced Spindle Cell Sarcoma was most suspected. Conclusion: We have experienced a case of Spindle Cell Sarcoma possible induced by the previous radiation. Radical excision is crucial in the treatment of this tumor.
