Introduction. Solitary fibrous tumours (SFT) of the parotid gland are a very rare group of spindle-cell tumours with only 28 cases reported in the literature. This review aims to report an additional case of parotid SFT and provide a review of all reported cases of this rare condition.Case Presentation. A 26-year-old male presented a 3 cm well-demarcated, slowly enlarging mass which was completely excised, revealing histological and immunohistochemical features of SFT.Discussion. Reviews of all reported cases suggest that histology and immunohistochemistry are paramount in the diagnosis of SFT. These features, along with clinical presentation and management of this rare condition, will be discussed.

Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum

Idiopathic pneumomediastinum is a form of spontaneous pneumomediastinum without predisposing factors and precipitating factors. The purpose of this publication is to present a rare case of this pathological condition. Case presentation: A 21year-old female with spontaneous pneumomediastinum was revealed. Medical history, physical examination, imaging and interventional diagnosis couldn’t determine any predisposing and precipitating factors for pneumomediatinum: case of idiopathic pneumomediastinum with unusual widespread subcutaneous emphysema. Conclusion In conclusion, this publication refers to one relatively rare condition in the thoracic pathology – idiopathic pneumomediastinum. Being a case of idiopathic pneumomediastinum, there was an unusual clinical presentation of widespread subcutaneous emphysema. Despite widespread subcutaneous emphysema, the presenting case confirms the good prognosis of idiopathic pneumomediastinum.

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Extraneural metastases of glioblastoma are very rare clinical entities, especially in pediatric patients. Because of their rarity, they can be confused with other pathological processes. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We report a case of 16-year-old boy with extensive extraneural metastases of glioblastoma. Lung, liver, cervical lymph nodes, skin, and bone metastases were detected in the patient. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We describe the presentation, evaluation, and diagnosis of this rare condition with regard to pertinent literature.

Basal Plasma

Myoepithelioma is a rare salivary gland neoplasm. They most commonly affect the major and minor salivary glands with the parotid gland being the most common, approximately 40%. Only 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms are myoepitheliomas. Myoepithelioma is usually a benign tumor arising from neoplastic myoepithelial or basket cells which are found between the basement membrane and the basal plasma membrane of acinar cells. They also contain multiple cellular elements. We present a case of a 73-year-old female with myoepithelioma of the parotid gland, an extremely rare neoplasm. There have been approximately 42 cases reported through 1985 and fewer than 100 cases through 1993. We will discuss the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of such neoplasms.

Fibrous Tumor

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are fibroblastic mesenchymal tumour primarily identified in the pleura but are now being reported in other anatomic sites as well. SFT is generally characterised as a radiologically confined neoplasm composed of a proliferated spindle cells arranged in patternless manner. Intervening tissue shows prominent haemangiopericytoma-like vessels. Stroma is usually fibrous. Tumour is positive for CD34. SFT has a specific translocation representing fusion NAB2 with STAT6 genes. This translocation can be highlighted with very good specificity and sensitivity using STAT6 immunohistochemical stain. Some cases of SFTs have also been described in the breast. Rarely, SFT can show aggressive behaviour. SFT enters the differential diagnoses of benign and malignant spindle cell tumours of breast and it is, therefore, important that its clinical, radiological and pathological features are known to clinicians and diagnosticians. Key words: CD34, myofibroblastoma, NAB2-STAT6, solitary fibrous tumour

IntroductionMycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumour (MSP) is a rare disease characterised by tumour-like local proliferation of spindle-shaped histiocytes containing acid-fast positive mycobacteria. The aim of this literature review is to describe the clinical parameters and treatment outcomes of patients with MSP.MethodsA literature search was conducted using the search terms related to mycobacteria and spindle cell tumours. A previously unreported stem cell transplant recipient from our institution diagnosed with MSP was also included. Demographics, comorbidities, site of infection, treatment and clinical outcomes were analysed.ResultsFifty-one patients were analysed. Twenty-six (51%) had HIV infection.Mycobacterium aviumcomplex was the most frequent organism isolated in 24 (47.1%) followed byMycobacterium tuberculosiscomplex in eight (16%) cases. Lymph nodes were the most common site of infection (45.1%). Twenty (39.2%) patients received antimycobacterial agents, 12 (23.5%) underwent surgical resection and six (11.8%) received antimycobacterial agents plus surgery. Treatment was successful in 24 (47.1%) patients and failed in 15 (29.4%); 13 of these 15 patients died. Antimycobacterial therapy was significantly associated with successful outcome compared with surgical resection or no treatment (P<0.001).ConclusionMSP is a rare condition associated primarily with immunodeficiencies. Antimycobacterial therapy is significantly associated withsuccessfuloutcome.

Objective To describe the clinical presentation and obstetrical outcomes of nonthyroid head and neck cancers (HNCs), and to review literature on this rare condition in pregnancy. Study Design Pregnant women with nonthyroid HNC were identified retrospectively from 1990 to 2017. Maternal, neonatal, pregnancy, and demographic data were collected. A review of the literature from January 1980 to May 2018 was performed. Results Over the 27-year time period, 16 women with history of nonthyroid HNC were identified (9 diagnosed during and 7 diagnosed before current pregnancy). The cases were analyzed in detail and the most updated review of management of each type of HNC was provided. Conclusions HNCs are rare with diagnosis and management challenges during pregnancy. In this series, the cases diagnosed and managed previously to pregnancy presented better perinatal outcomes than the cases presented during pregnancy. The maternal outcomes appeared similar for HNC diagnosed before or after pregnancy.

AbstractA case of renal carcinoma metastatic to the left parotid gland is presented. A 60-year-old male patient developed a painful mass in his left parotid region one and a half years after he had undergone a left nephrectomy operation for renal carcinoma. The mass was excised surgically. The histopathological diagnosis was metastatic renal carcinoma. From a review of the literature, it is apparent that unlike most of the cases reported, this one had a very aggressive nature. The clinical presentation of the metastasis, and the factors determining the prognosis in cases of metastatic renal carcinoma to the head and neck are discussed.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare condition with a peculiar presentation that aids in making a clinical diagnosis. We present a 22-year-old male patient who presented with critical hand ischemia secondary to a distal ulnar aneurysm with distal embolization. The patient was treated with an aneurysmectomy with cephalic vein interposition graft, which resulted in complete reversal of his hand ischemia. This case report outlines the clinical presentation of this rare condition, along with a recent review of the literature.

Congenital unilateral agenesis of the parotid gland is a rare condition with only few cases reported in the literature. A review of 21 cases in the available literature is presented in this article. We report on a further case of a 34-year-old woman with agenesis of the left parotid gland and lipoma of the right cheek. Clinicopathological characteristics of described cases in the literature were discussed.
