MPNST of the abdominal wall in a patient with lynch syndrome: A case report of a rare presentation and unique association
INTRODUCTION: The abdominal wall is an extremely rare location for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). Besides presenting a rare location of MPNST, the peculiarity of our case lies in its association with Lynch syndrome, which is to our knowledge the first reported case of its kind. P...

description | INTRODUCTION: The abdominal wall is an extremely rare location for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). Besides presenting a rare location of MPNST, the peculiarity of our case lies in its association with Lynch syndrome, which is to our knowledge the first reported case of its kind. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case report of a 39-year-old male with a personal history of colonic cancer. Genetic counseling revealed Lynch syndrome with a heterozygous germline mutation in MLH1. Nine years after the right hemicolectomy, the patient presented with an asymptomatic lump in the abdominal wall. CT imaging showed a 3 cm mass in the aponeurosis of the right external oblique muscle. The patient underwent successful resection of the parietal tumor. Pathological examination revealed an MPNST. No additional treatment was warranted, and the patient exhibited no signs of relapse during the six months following the surgery. DISCUSSION: MPNSTs of the anterior abdominal wall are extremely rare and challenging. Some studies have investigated the presence of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in patients with sarcomas. Our case consolidates the hypothesis of an association between sarcomas and Lynch syndrome, which raises the question of the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in these cases where treatment options remain limited. CONCLUSION: It is essential to have a deep understanding of the growth patterns of MPNSTs in the context of syndromes that predispose individuals to tumors, like Lynch syndrome. This knowledge is crucial for accurately predicting patient outcomes and developing appropriate plans for monitoring and treatment. |
