Aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon, benign, slow-growing, and locally infiltrative soft tissue neoplasm which is located primarily in the genital region and pelviperineal interstitial tissue of female patient in the fourth decade of life. Its occurrence in male patients is even more unusual and commonly appears at a later age. The mainstay of treatment typically involves surgical excision with tumor-free margins, and despite complete resection, local recurrences are common. Here, an unusual case of aggressive angiomyxoma occurring in the pelvic region of a 55-year-old man and its treatment is discussed due to its rarity.

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.

High Chance

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a very rare, benign, locally infiltrative mesenchymal tumour with a high chance of recurrence following surgical excision. In the male population, it is so rare that less than only 50 cases have been reported so far. We present a case of a large recurrent perineal AAM in a man who presented with swelling in the perineal region following surgical excision 3 years ago. After evaluation, the diagnostic dilemma of a possible perineal hernia or recurrence remained. Surgical exploration ruled out hernia and the tumour was excised with difficulty. Immunohistochemical examination showed tumour cells with diffuse nuclear positivity for oestrogen receptor and patchy cytoplasmic positivity for desmin (A2). Histological and immunohistochemical features confirmed the diagnosis. Being very rare, AAMs need to be considered as a differential diagnosis of pelvic/perineal tumours among males. With no standardised therapy for AAM, complete resection would be the goal of therapy.

Mesenchymal Tumour

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour predominantly affecting the female pelvis and perineum but has also been described in males. This tumour can often present a diagnostic challenge and has a propensity for local recurrence after surgical excision. We present an unusual case of aggressive angiomyxoma arising from the bladder of a female patient which required local excision and Mitrofanoff formation.

Angular dermoid cysts are common periorbital tumours in children. They are tumours of embryonic origin that arise along bony sutures as a result of abnormal ectodermal sequestration during development. Angular dermoid cysts usually present in early childhood, are characteristically small benign and slow growing lesion. External angular dermoid present in the superotemporal quadrant is more common compared to internal angular dermoid in the superonasal quadrant. Early surgical excision is recommended and performed in the majority of cases, particularly to restore facial cosmesis. Here we report an unusual case of a large internal angular dermoid cyst indenting the globe in a 3-year-old girl presented with left upper eyelid mass at medial angle since one year of age. The cyst was excised completely by anterior orbitotomy through a small superior lid crease incision.

Vulvar aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the vulva. Due to its slow-growing nature, it is often overlooked and misdiagnosed by primary care providers (PCPs). We describe a case report of vulvar AA in a 38-year-old woman who underwent complete surgical excision of the neoplasm with no evidence of recurrence on a 5-year followup. A literature review follows to provide PCPs with the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features that this tumor displays.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a well-bordered, slow-growing, benign fibro-osseous disease. Although its localization is generally in the mandible, it can be seen in any area of the craniofacial region. Radiology and histopathology help to diagnose the condition. Treatment is based on close observation and/or surgical excision. In this case, we report the case of a 62-year-old male patient who had a large radiological appearance, cemento-ossifying fibroma in the paranasal sinuses.

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>

Introduction Mesenchymal tumours of submandibular gland are extremely rare. Schwannoma of the salivary glands is a particularly rare form of an extracranial neurogenic tumour.  Case Report Here, we present an unusual case of schwannoma of submandibular gland in a 16 year old girl, who underwent total excision of mass with submandibular gland excision with no cranial nerve deficits. The details of the histopathologic features are present .   Discussion Schwannoma of the salivary gland is a particularly rare form of an extracranial neurogenic tumour. Our case indicates good prognosis in a case of submandibular gland schwannoma after surgical excision.

Endemic Areas

At least 27 million men present with urogenital manifestations of genital filariasis (GF). Although there is a large burden of GF in residents in endemic regions, infection in short-term travellers and in non-endemic areas is rare. We report the case of a 75-year-old Italian man referred to our institution for a testicular discomfort. Clinical examination and ultrasound detected a mass of 40×18 mm in the scrotum without signs of varicocele, hydrocele and testicular or epididymal abnormalities. After ineffective medical treatment, the patient underwent surgical excision. Histology demonstrated filarial granuloma with thick cuticles pathognomonic of an adult worm in the testicular tunics. Surgery has a fundamental role in localized cases of GF to remove nematodes from the fibrotic nodules. The present manuscript describes a singular case of GF observed in Italy in a non-immigrant patient with evidence of remnants of an adult worm in the testicular tunics. SIMILAR CASES PUBLISHED: 11
