Introduction. Sinusoidal hemangioma is a rare variant of acquired cavernous hemangioma predominantly occurring in females. Very few case reports have been described in the literature.Case Report. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman who noticed a slowly growing, cutaneous nodule on the left breast. Local excision of the lesion was performed and histology allowed to find a sinusoidal hemangioma. No recurrence was noticed.Conclusion. The very few reports of such a lesion in the literature reflect either rarity of such lesions or unfamiliarity of this subset among the pathologists.

Cavernous Hemangiomas

Sinonasal hemangiomas, although rare, must be considered in the evaluation of intranasal masses with profuse epistaxis. Although the availability of literature discussing cavernous hemangiomas in this location is limited, there have been no case reports of exclusively soft tissue sinonasal cavernous hemangiomas extending to the anterior skull base (ASB) that were resected purely endoscopically. Here, we describe the successful endoscopic resection of an extensive right sinonasal cavernous hemangioma extending to but not invading the ASB. Although highly vascular, in select cases, these tumors can be successfully resected endoscopically without embolization by experienced endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeons.

Objectives: Fibromatosis is a rare breast lesion that is considered locally aggressive tumor without metastasis. It doesn't need more than surgical excision with clean margins as a treatment but the recurrence is very common. Breast fibromatosis clinically mimics other lesions as fibromatosis like metaplastic tumor of breast. Therefore, recognition of breast fibromatosis is important for surgeons and histopathologists, in order to set a proper plan for management and avoid unnecessary extensive surgery. Comprehensive search revealed only 33 case reports as it's compromising less than 0.2% of all primary breast tumor. Case summary Methods and Materials: A 35 years old female patient complained of palpable left breast mass for four months. Her imaging belonged to BI-RAD (4) assessment category. The pathological examination of the core biopsy showed B3; spindle cell lesion. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass and the histopathologic assessment revealed an infiltrative uncapsulated lesion composed of proliferated spindle shaped cells (mixed fibroblasts and myofibroblast like cells) arranged in sweeping fascicles with occasional extravasated RBCs. There was no mitosis, necrosis or atypia. There was no associated hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia, insitu or invasive components. Results: Immunohistochemical studies showed positivity for SMA and B- Catenine and negativity for Pan CK and P63 that confirm our diagnosis. Conclusion: The conclusion of this case report is to stress upon keeping breast fibromatosis in mind as a potential differential diagnosis for fibromatosis like metaplastic carcinoma and other mimics of spindle cell lesions in breast.

Abstract Background Angiosarcomas are rare and fast growing tumors that arise from vascular structures. This case report is significant because it is rare and may cause treatment delay if not considered as a differential diagnosis. Hence, we aim to inform efficient, appropriate, and evidence-based imaging practice to the benefit of patients regionally and worldwide. Case presentation Thirty-five-year-old lady, presented with a large left breast swelling. She had recent history of trauma to the breast which initially caused confusion regarding the possible diagnosis. Ultrasound and MRI raised high suspicion of an angiosarcoma. Patient went through embolectomy prior to mastectomy and axillary clearance. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an angiosarcoma. She had no distant metastases at the time of diagnosis and the patient was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, she returned with recurrence within 1-year duration. Conclusion Primary breast angiosarcomas are rare aggressive vascular tumors with generally poor prognosis and no pathognomonic signs on radiological imaging, especially mammogram. Ultrasound and MRI do help in characterizing these tumors and raising the suspicion of a vascular tumor. Ultrasound-guided biopsy is recommended to avoid unnecessary complications. In young patients with rapidly growing, highly vascular breast tumors, a differential diagnosis of primary angiosarcomas should be considered until proven otherwise.

Hernia Complication

Introduction: Fournier’s gangrene is a rare but fast deteriorating and serious condition with high mortality. In most cases, it is characterized as necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and external genitals. Amyand’s hernia is a rare condition where the appendix is contained in the sac of an inguinal hernia. Inflammatory alterations in the appendix account only for 0.1 % of the cases when Amyand’s hernia is verified. Fournier’s gangrene as a complication of a late diagnosis of appendicitis located in the inguinal canal is described in the literature as rare case reports. Case report: The case report of a 70-year-old patient with Fournier’s gangrene resulting from gangrenous appendicitis of Amyand’s hernia. Conclusion: Fournier’s gangrene as a complication of Amyand’s hernia is a rare condition. Only sporadic case reports thereof can be found in the literature. Because of the rarity of this pathology and the lack of randomized controlled studies, it is difficult to determine the optimal treatment according to the principles of evidence-based medicine. An appropriate approach for this condition appears to be the combination of guidelines developed in Amyand’s therapy according to Losanoff and Basson, along with the recommended “gold standard” therapy for Fournier’s gangrene. This means early and highly radical surgical debridement, adequate antibiotic therapy and intensive care.

Cavernous hemangiomas are benign tumours of mesodermal origin. Even though various localizations of hemangioma have been described in the literature, its occurrence in the greater omentum is very rare. Only symptomatic hemangiomas are indicated for surgical treatment. There are case reports presenting resection or surgical removal of the greater omentum with hemangioma because of mechanical syndrome, consumption coagulopathy, bleeding, infection or suspicion of a malignancy. This article presents a case report of a patient operated on for a suspicion of carcinomatosis of the greater omentum. Histological examination found hemangiomatosis in the resected greater omentum.

Verrucous psoriasis is a rare variant of plaque-type psoriasis with only about 35 cases reported. The authors reported a man with a history of psoriasis vulgaris for seven years, presented with progressive verrucous hyperkeratotic plaques on both legs for three years. His earlier investigations favored the diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. After completing the antituberculous therapy, the lesions persisted. The later investigations favored a rare subtype of psoriasis named verrucous psoriasis. Keywords: Verrucous psoriasis, Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Ixekixumab
