Soft-tissue chondroma is a rare, benign, slow-growing tumor made up of heterotopic cartilaginous tissue. It occurs most commonly in the third and fourth decades in the hands and feet. Oral soft-tissue chondromas are uncommon and soft-tissue chondroma of gingiva is extremely uncommon. Here, we report an unusual case of soft-tissue chondroma of gingiva in a 50-year-old woman.

Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a benign and slow-growing solitary soft-tissue neoplasm. Since being described in 2001, more than 100 cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma on the foot have been reported worldwide, none of which have been reported in the podiatric medical literature. Only nine cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma have been reported with presentation on the plantar heel. We report an unusual case of a 47-year-old Jamaican woman with a painful, erythematous nodule on her right heel that was diagnosed as superficial acral fibromyxoma.

Unusual Case Report

Odontomas are the most common of the odontogenic tumors of the jaws, which are benign, slow growing, and nonaggressive. They are usually asymptomatic and found in routine dental radiographic examination. Odontomas are usually associated with tooth eruption disturbances. Eruption of odontoma in oral cavity is rare entity. Here we report a case of an unusual erupted compound odontoma.

Maxillary Region

Fibrosarcoma of the oral and maxillofacial region is a rare entity with poor prognosis. Most common sites are the extremities, with only one percent of fibrosarcoma arising in the head and neck area. Oral fibrosarcoma are locally infiltrative and destructive, spreads by haematogenous dissemination. The positive immunostaining for vimentin, together with negativity for muscular immunomarkers help to diagnosis the fibrosarcoma. Surgical management of fibrosarcoma in maxillofacial region is far from satisfactory, because of lack of inadequate clearance. This paper describes an unusual case of soft tissue fibrosarcoma of premaxillary region in an adult aged 71 years.

Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are neurogenic tumors that arise from the Schwann cells of the neural sheath. They are most often benign and solitary. Extracranial schwannomas are rare, and can be mistaken for metastatic disease or other non-neurogenie tumors. Ancient schwannoma is a rare variant of schwannoma with a course typical of a slow-growing benign tumor. Histologically, it can be confused with a malignant mesenchymal tumor. An unusual case of an ancient schwannoma of the submandibular gland is reported. The clinical, histological and surgical aspects of this tumor are discussed, and the literature regarding this rare entity is reviewed.

Coronary sinus aneurysm (CSA) is an extremely rare entity. Herein, we present an unusual case of an 18-year-old symptomatic female patient with a giant CSA. Secondary vena cava aneurysms were also manifested. The final diagnosis was confirmed by enhanced computed tomography (CT) and cardiac catheterization. As far as we know, it is the first case that such a giant CSA coexists with secondary vena cava aneurysms. Considering the complexity of postoperative reconstruction, we believe that heart transplantation may be the optimal way for treatment. The patient received anticoagulant due to the superior vena cava (SVC) thrombosis while waiting for a donor.

Low Incidence

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm which typically originates from liver, lung, or bone. Due to the low incidence of disease, the most effective treatment is not easily studied and much of the information known about EHE has been learned through case reports and case series. In this case, we will present an uncommon form of primary soft tissue EHE with local recurrence, bone metastasis, and lymphangitic spread to the lungs leading to respiratory failure. Imaging of the chest was atypical for EHE with intraseptal thickening and hilar lymphadenopathy. Respiratory failure was progressive despite aggressive multimodal treatment. This case highlights an unusually aggressive recurrence and metastasis of primary soft tissue EHE with atypical pulmonary imaging findings.

Abstract Background/Aims  Dactylitis is commonly associated with psoriatic arthritis, and regularly presents at Rheumatology clinics. We discuss a case where progressive systemic symptoms lead to the consideration of alternate diagnoses. Methods  A 46-year-old Nepalese woman presented to the Rheumatology department with a 3 month history of diffuse swelling of the right middle finger proximal interphalangeal joint, with the appearance of dactylitis. There was pain on movement, but no other joint involvement. Simultaneously she noticed blurred and decreased vision, which on review by the ophthalmologists, was diagnosed with bilateral uveitis. There was no history of psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, or other past medical history of note. There was no travel history in the past 12 months. A diagnosis of a presumed inflammatory arthritis was made. Results  Blood tests showed elevated c-reactive protein 55 (normal &lt;4 mg/l), erythrocyte sedimentation rate 138 (normal 0-22 mm/hr) and an iron deficiency anaemia. Rheumatoid factor and Anti-CCP antibody were negative. Hand radiographs were reported as normal. MRI of the third digit confirmed an enhancing soft tissue collection at the proximal phalanx of the right middle finger. She was referred for a biopsy of this lesion. Interestingly over the subsequent few months, she developed progressive breathlessness. Chest radiograph showed a left pleural effusion. Further tests showed negative serum ACE, Lyme and Toxoplasma screen. Quantiferon test was negative. Pleural aspirate showed a transudate with negative Acid-fast bacillus (AFB) test and culture. CT chest and abdomen showed a persistent pleural effusion, inflammatory changes in the small bowel and thickening of the peritoneum and omentum. In view of the systemic involvement, a peritoneal tissue biopsy was performed. This confirmed chronic granulomatous inflammation with positive AFB stain for mycobacterium tuberculosis. Our patient was started on quadruple anti- TB antibiotics for 6 months. Her systemic symptoms and dactylitis have improved, although there is on-going treatment for her ocular involvement. Conclusion  Approximately 10% of all cases of extrapulmonary TB have osteoarticular involvement. Dactylitis is a variant of tuberculous osteomyelitis affecting the long bones of the hands and feet. It occurs mainly in young children; however adults may be affected also. The first manifestation is usually painless swelling of the diaphysis of the affected bone followed by trophic changes in the skin. The radiographic changes are known as spina ventosa, because of the ballooned out appearance of the bone, although this was not seen in our case. Fibrous dysplasia, congenital syphilis, sarcoidosis and sickle cell anaemia may induce similar radiographic changes in the metaphysis of long bones of hands and feet, but do not cause soft tissue swelling or periosteal reaction. This case highlights the importance of testing for TB, especially in atypical cases of dactylitis, with other systemic features. Disclosure  N. Cernovschi - Feasey: None. J. Wajed: None.
