Keywords: Myointimoma of the penis; angiocentric myofibroblastic tumour of the penis; penile mass; glans penis; corpus spongiosum; biopsy;
Myointimoma, which is also referred to angiocentric myofibroblastic tumour, is an uncommon benign soft tissue neoplasm which is derived from intimal cells of the vascular spaces of the corpora cavernosa of the penis, histologically typified by multinodular/plexiform myofibroblastic proliferation within the vascular spaces of cavernous bodies of the penis. Myointimoma could afflict children as well as adult males and it does tend to present as a lump or mass upon the penis that had been noticed recently over a few weeks and which recently had been increasing in size or getting larger within the glans penis. Generally, patients who are afflicted by myointimoma tend to be asymptomatic apart from having noticed a lump in the penis. Diagnosis of myointimoma can be confirmed via pathology examination and immunohistochemistry staining studies and molecular and cytogenetics studies of biopsy specimens or excised specimens of the penile tumour. Total excision alone is stated to be sufficient for the management of myointimoma of the glans penis in view of the fact that the tumour tends to portend a benign indolent cause. Less than 30 cases of myointimoma of the penis had so far been reported in the global literature and for this reason, it would be envisaged that most clinicians in the world have never encountered a case of myointimoma of the penis before and they would tend not to be familiar with the presentation, diagnostic features, treatment, and outcome of the tumour ensuing its treatment. The important thing that needs to be appreciated is the fact that myointimoma of the penis which mimics more common lesions of the penis does require careful pathology examination and a high-index of suspicion by the clinician and the pathologist in order to differentiate myointimoma of the penis from its simulants including: plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumour of penis, epithelioid haemangioendothelioma of penis, myofibroma of the penis, intravascular fasciitis of penis, nerve sheath tumour of penis, leiomyoma of penis as well as various other types of lesions afflicting the penis.
Myointimoma, which is also referred to as angiocentric myofibroblastic tumour, is an uncommon benign soft tissue tumour which is derived from intimal cells of the vascular spaces of the corpora cavernosa of the penis, histologically typified by multinodular / plexiform myofibroblastic proliferation within the vascular spaces of cavernous bodies. [1] The terminology of myointimoma was stated to be first introduced by Fetsch et al. [2]in 2000 and it was recognized as a distinctive histological entity in the World Health Organization Classification of the Tumours of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs in 2016 [3]. It has been iterated that up to Nobember 2022, only 22 cases had been reported in the literature, of which only 10 had been reported in children and adolescents. Except of two small series [2] [4] of cases that had based upon a retrospective re-evaluation of few decades stored slides of tumours, these myointimoma tumours had been stated to be based upon isolated case reports. [1] It has been pointed out that in view of the rarity of myointimoma of the penis, the main importance is to be able to differentiate myointimoma from other tumours of variable biological behaviour. In view of the rarity of myointimoma of the penis, it would be envisaged that majority of clinicians all over the world would not have encountered a case of myointimoma of the penis before. The ensuing article on myointimoma of the penis is divided into two parts: (A) Overview which has discussed general aspects of myointimoma and (B) Miscellaneous narrations and discussions from some case reports, case series and studies related to myointimoma of the penis.

Cito et al. [15] reported a 49-year-old Caucasian man who had presented with a 12-month history of a palpable, firm, solitary lesion involving his glans penis. During his clinical examination, there was a 1 cm palpable, endophytic well-circumscribed nodule, that was located to the left side of his glans penis, close to his coronal sulcus, with disease-free external urethral orifice. The patient underwent complete excisional biopsy. A skin rhombus that measured 1.1 cm × 0.8 cm × 0.3 cm was removed and the biopsy sample, was fixed in 10% formaldehyde, sent to the pathology department. During his 18-month follow-up visit, he was clinically disease free. Histopathology examination of his excised penile lesion demonstrated a multi-nodular intra-vascular proliferation of the corpus spongiosum. The myointimal proliferation had comprised of bland predominantly spindle cells in an abundant fibromyxoid stroma. Immunohistochemistry staining for smooth muscle actin (1A4), cytokeratins (AE1/AE3, CAM5.2), and CD34 were undertaken utilising the avidin-biotin complex (ABC) immunoperoxidase method. The lesional cells had exhibited positive staining for smooth muscle actin and negative staining for cytokeratins and CD34. Cito et al. [15] made the ensuing concluding iterations:

Tanriverdi et al. [13] reported an 11-year-old boy, who was referred to Manisa Celal Bayar University Hospital with a nodule upon the left side of his glans penis. The nodule was detected two weeks preceding his assessment and the patient had not had any symptom except for the finding of the penile mass. The mass was located within the left side of his glans and it had measured 10 mm in size (see figure 1). The penile mass was also immobile and painless. The patient had been circumcised when he was 6 years-old. He did not have any history of any trauma or infection. The results of his laboratory tests were within their normal limits. He had ultrasound scan of his abdomen, urinary tract as well as scrotum which was also normal. The tumour was completely excised totally and his glans penis was sutured primarily. It had an irregular border (see figure 2).

Upon histopathology examination, the mass was found to consist of thick, smooth muscle fibres (see figure 3). There were focal fibrotic/fibromyxoid areas and spindle cell proliferation among them (see figure 4). The neoplastic cells had exhibited strongly positive staining with actin and weakly stained with desmin upon immunohistochemistry staining studies. (see figure 5). All of these aforementioned pathological findings were evaluated as myointimoma. In the first year of follow-up, the patient did not have any problem regarding his penis or other urinary tract organs.

Tanriverdi et al. [13] made the ensuing educative discussion:
Tanriverdi et al. [13] made the ensuing conclusions:
Turner et al. [14] reported a case of myointimoma of the penis in a healthy 14-year-old male, who had manifested to the paediatric surgery unit of university of Florida with a firm, non-mobile 1 cm nodule upon the right side of his glans penis, which had been evident over about the preceding one month. His clinical examination was noted to be otherwise normal. An excisional biopsy of the penile lesion was undertaken. Histopathology examination of specimens of the excised penile lesion demonstrated an occlusive myointimal proliferation with complex multi-nodular / plexiform architecture which had involved the vasculature of his glans penis, and which had extended into the tissue margins. The nodular proliferations had comprised of medium to large spindle, and / or stellate cells that had long tapered cytoplasmic process, fine nuclear chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli, and based upon additional pathology examination features of the lesion, a diagnosis of myointimoma of the penis was made.
Drlík et al. [1] reported a 15-year-old Caucasian boy, who had manifested with a 6-months history of a slowly growing, palpable firm nodule within his glans penis. Clinically he was completely asymptomatic and had voided freely. He did not report any history of trauma, systemic connective tissue diseases or other autoimmune disorders. During his clinical examination, there was evidence of a palpable, well circumscribed, firm, whitish painless mass, about 1 cm in diameter within his glans penis (see figure 6). His overlying skin was of a normal structure without signs of inflammation. No palpable inguinal lymphadenopathy was identified. The stage of puberty was Tanner III.

In view of the fact that there were no guidelines concerning penile tumours in his age, the authors [1] adhered to the EAU guidelines for penile cancer in adults and they undertook a penile Doppler Ultrasound scan and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The ultrasound scan demonstrated hypoechogenic, hypo-perfused poorly defined area within his glans penis. (see figure 7). The MRI scan did not confirm any other pathology mass inside his glans penis and corpora cavernosa (see figure 8). An excisional biopsy under general anaesthesia with intra-operative pathological evaluation was decided upon. The formation was noted not to have been clearly demarcated from the encompassing glans penis tissues and had reached close to the urethra, without interfering with its wall. The procedure was undertaken at optical magnification, utilising magnifying glasses with particular attention to prevent the injury of the neighbouring urethra (see figure 9). In view of the fact that the intra-operative pathology evaluation had demonstrated a benign nature of the tumour, Drlik et al. [1] simply closed the wound and did not proceed with any more extensive surgery (see figure 10).

Drlik et al. [1] found the lesion to be a macroscopically pale tissue sample which had measured 10 mm × 8 mm × 5 mm (see figure 11). On the cut surface, the lesion was noted to be light red in colour and had solid consistency. Subsequent detailed histopathology examination of specimens of the lesion demonstrated changes that were diagnostic for myointimoma - nodular intravascular myofibroblastic proliferation involving multiple cavernous spaces (see figure 12). At low power magnification, a complex multinodular architecture was visualised. At higher magnification the myofibroblasts were observed to be uniform, elongated spindle shaped cells with no significant hyperchromasia or pleomorphism, nor any mitotic figures or necrosis. Immunohistochemistry staining studies staining for alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) was noted to be positive within the lesion (see figure 12), the proliferative activity (Ki-67) was low (beneath 1%) (see figure 13). Immunohistochemistry staining for desmin was negative within myofibroblasts, while positive in the pre-existing vessel wall only (see figure 15). No reactivity was visualised for other performed immunohistochemistry staining markers (S100 protein, CD34 and ERG). Microphotographs were taken with Olympus BX41 microscope and processed by QuickPHOTO Software.

In view of the nature of the benign nature of the lesion, Drlik et al. [1] did not undertake staging for distant metastases and simply undertook an outpatient follow-up. Three years pursuant to the excision of the lesion, there was no evidence of local recurrence, no urethral stricture and a cosmetic appearance is good (see figure 16).

"We recently published an article entitled “Influence of beta-Cyclodextrins upon the Degradation of Carbofuran Derivatives under Alkaline Conditions" in the Journal of “Pesticides and Biofertilizers” to show that the cyclodextrins protect the carbamates increasing their half-life time in the presence of basic conditions This will be very helpful to understand carbofuran behaviour in the analytical, agro-environmental and food areas.

I am very pleased to serve as EBM of the journal, I hope many years of my experience in stem cells can help the journal from one way or another. As we know, stem cells hold great potential for regenerative medicine, which are mostly used to promote the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. I think Stem Cell Research and Therapeutics International is a great platform to publish and share the understanding towards the biology and translational or clinical application of stem cells.
