Pathologic Features

We report a case of sporadic isolated hemangioblastoma arising from the retroperitoneum and provide a review of the scarce literature regarding this very rare tumor. Furthermore, we thoroughly describe the pathologic features and the broad differential diagnosis that should always be included in the study of any retroperitoneal soft tissue mass to arrive at the final diagnosis.

Rice Body

Introduction. Soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty raises several differential diagnoses not limited to infection, hematoma, wear debris, malignancy, and bursitis. Rice body formation in the hip region is an uncommon process denoting a chronic inflammation. We report here the second case of its kind in the medical literature of a wide symptomatic rice-like body cyst complicating a total hip arthroplasty. Case Presentation. This is the case of an 82-year-old white female, presenting with a warm, red, and inflated groin five years after revision of right total hip arthroplasty. Surgical intervention reveals a large well circumscribed cyst containing well-organized rice-like bodies. This eventuality was never reported in differential diagnosis of hip periprosthetic soft tissue masses before. Conclusion. This case report helps widening the array of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a slow growing soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty, making rice-like bodies cyst a valid one to consider.

Abstract.Donnellan R, Moodley M. Vulval myxoid liposarcoma.A 26 year old woman presented with a 4-year history of a gradually enlarging fluctuant mass on the left labium majus. Histologic examination following excision revealed myxoid liposarcoma. Following the diagnosis, further surgery was performed to ensure complete resection. Routine excision of draining lymph nodes is not advocated. Although rare, myxoid liposarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a vulval soft tissue mass.

Extraskeletal chondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor that occurs predominantly in the soft tissues near small joints of the hands and feet. There are rare reports of the lesion in other sites, such as the head, neck, trunk, oral cavity, larynx, and pharynx. We present a case of an axillary mass in a 15-year-old girl who underwent MRI examination and resection, with the ultimate diagnosis of an extraskeletal chondroma, in order to expand the differential diagnosis of an axillary soft tissue mass in an adolescent.

A 56-year-old woman presented with an enlarging soft-tissue mass of the left ring finger, causing worsening range of motion in the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. Excision of the mass was performed and a 3.5×3.5×3 cm lipoma was found displacing the digital neurovascular bundles laterally and posteriorly. Surgical pathology revealed a rare angiolipoma. This case was unusual because of the location of the mass, and the fact that it was non-tender, and larger than the typical angiolipoma presentation. Definitive identification of angiolipomas, especially those without gross vascularisation, as in this case, is often delayed until final pathology. Reporting cases of angiolipoma of the finger will increase awareness of this rare lesion and broaden the differential diagnosis to improve identification and management in future cases. We discuss a surgical approach which successfully increased range of motion of the hand and preserved neurovascular integrity.

Purpose: To describe the radiologic findings in patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB). Material and Methods: Out of a total of 503 patients with TB, 63 (13%) had involvement of the spine. Results: In 40 patients, the spine was the only location; 20 patients had concomitant chest TB. Conventional radiographs gave a good overview, CT visualized the diskovertebral lesions and the paravertebral abscesses, while MR imaging was useful to determine the spread of disease to the soft tissues and the spinal canal. The typical findings were destroyed vertebrae with associated paraspinal soft-tissue mass, with or without abscess formation, sometimes also involving the epidural space together with adjoining disk lesion and focal gibbus formation. Involvement of a single vertebra was a relatively common finding. Large psoas abscesses could occur without any signs of bone involvement. The TB process could sometimes be indistinguishable from malignant processes, and in 3 patients, with multiple lesions in the spine, it mimicked metastatic disease. Conclusion: It is stressed that TB should always be considered in the differential diagnosis when radiologic findings suggest spinal infections or primary or secondary spinal tumors.

Radiologic Examination

Synovial chondromatosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by the formation of multiple cartilaginous nodules within the synovium and most commonly affects large joints, such as the knee and hip. Diagnosis in synovial chondromatosis is generally confirmed by histology after clinical and radiologic examination. Diagnosis may sometimes be difficult because synovial chondromatosis resembles a soft-tissue mass and may give no radiologic findings. We describe a case of synovial chondromatosis stemming from the subtalar joint, in which diagnosis was difficult clinically and radiologically. The patient presented with pain in the ankle and with a soft-tissue mass. This case is presented with a review of the literature on subtalar joint involvement of synovial chondromatosis (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 98(4): 318–321, 2008)
