A plunging ranula is a soft-tissue mass stemming from a mucous extravasation cyst of the sublingual gland which can herniate through the mylohyoid muscle. We describe a case in which a 14-year-old girl presented with a rapidly expanding mass on the floor of her mouth affecting her ability to swallow and speak and causing tracheal compression. The patient was initially managed conservatively with antibiotics and steroids; however, the mass continued to expand necessitating emergent bedside incision and drainage and subsequent surgical intervention. The pathophysiology and management options for ranulas are also discussed herein.

Groove pancreatitis is a segmental chronic pancreatitis that affects the groove area, classically the anatomical area between the pancreatic head, the duodenum, and the common bile duct. The etiopathogenesis remains elusive till date, though association with alcohol abuse has been described in literature. Imaging feature described include soft tissue mass in the groove, thickening of medial wall of duodenum, thus closely mimicking a neoplastic aetiology and hence posing diagnostic dilemma. However classic ndings of cystic changes in the groove extending to duodenal wall and brotic component can aid the radiologist in making an accurate diagnosis and thus avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention. Groove pancreatitis is a disease that should be considered in the list of differential diagnosis of masses implicating the pancreatic head and medial duodenal wall.

Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are slow-growing, benign and often firm lumps that are typically painless. They are extremely rare in the oral cavity, with the tongue and the palate being the most common intraoral sites. This is a case report of this pathology in the floor of the mouth. We present a case of a 28-year-old female patient with a 2-month history of a floor of mouth swelling. On clinical examination this was non-tender and appeared firm. An ultrasound of the lesion was performed which revealed a well-defined, rounded and low reflective soft tissue mass. Following an MRI scan and surgical excision of the lesion, a definitive diagnosis of a schwannoma was made. The presence of schwannoma in the oral cavity is unusual. Based on the literature and the presented case, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis until the final histopathological confirmation.

A 7-y-old backyard Leghorn chicken ( Gallus domesticus) was submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System (CAHFS)–Turlock branch for postmortem examination, with a history of unexpected death. At postmortem examination, a hemorrhagic soft tissue mass was observed in the cervical region. Microscopically, a densely cellular neoplasm of polygonal epithelial cells and small lymphocytes was observed. The microscopic features of the neoplasm in combination with positive immunohistochemistry for pancytokeratin and CD3 were used to classify the lesion as a thymoma. Thymoma was diagnosed in only 5 birds submitted to CAHFS from 1990 to 2019. Thymoma has been described only rarely in birds, and is an unusual diagnosis in backyard chickens.

AbstractThe aim of this report is to describe an unusual localization of nerve sheath tumour (NST), clinical presentation, imaging, surgical management, and outcome in a 2-year-old dog. A 2-year-old female American Staffordshire Terrier presented with nonambulatory paraparesis, thoracolumbar hyperaesthesia, hindlimb hyperreflexia, and mild muscle atrophy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extradural mass at T7-T8, without vertebral lesions. Surgical treatment consisted in resection of the soft tissue mass through dorsal laminectomy. The dog was ambulatory within 24 hours and free of recurrence at 18 months postoperatively. Histopathologic and features of immunohistochemistry were consistent with NST. The NST of this report was similar to those described before, but exhibited unusual characteristics, such as being extradural, without extension into intervertebral foramina, and being located in an atypical region (T7-T8). Moreover, survival time and relapse-free interval are greater than previously reported for similar cases.

Synovial sarcomas are most commonly localised in extremities, especially in the lower thigh and knee areas. Comprising less than 1% of all malignancies, retroperitoneal synovial sarcoma is very rare with primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney being even more infrequent and difficult to diagnose. We describe a case report of a renal synovial sarcoma in a young adult who was initially managed as a case of Wunderlich’s syndrome secondary to what was believed to be a ruptured renal angiomyolipoma. After biopsy confirmation, the patient was eventually managed with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by a right radical nephrectomy and right hepatectomy. Despite its rarity, synovial sarcoma should be considered as differential diagnosis of a bleeding retroperitoneal soft tissue mass detected in young adults.

Abstract Background Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant extracranial solid tumor in pediatrics patients. Intraoperative hyperthermia is extremely rare in patients with neuroblastoma and can cause a series of complications. Here, we represent a case of neuroblastoma accompanied by hyperthermia during anesthesia, and propose a rational explanation and management options. Case presentation The patient had gait disturbance and sitting-related pain without fever. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a soft tissue mass located in the right posterior mediastinum, paravertebral space and canalis vertebralis. Serum tumor marker screening showed that the patient had increased epinephrine, norepinephrine and neuron specific enolase levels, with an increased 24 hour urine vanillylmandelic acid level. Intraspinal tumor resection was conducted. The temperature of the patient rapidly arose to 40.1 °C over 10 minutes when waiting for tracheal extubation. The arterial gas analysis results indicated malignant hyperthermia was less likely, and dantrolene was not administered. Physical cooling methods were used, and the temperature dropped to 38.6 ℃. The trachea was successfully extubated. Histological results confirmed the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Conclusions Hyperthermia during anesthesia is a serious adverse event. Catecholamines secreted from neuroblatoma cells can lead to hypermetabolism and hyperthermia. Surgeons and anesthesiologists should be aware of the possibility of hyperthermia in patients with neuroblastoma.
