Solitary Tumor

Sclerotic fibroma (SF) or storiform collagenoma is a rare and benign skin tumor. Clinically, it usually presents as an asymptomatic, slowly growing papule or nodule on the skin of the head, neck and upper extremities. Other locations have been described including the trunk, oral mucosa and nail bed. SF can present either as a solitary tumor or as multifocal cutaneous lesions and it may occur sporadically or in association with Cowden syndrome. Herein, we report a case of a solitary SF with typical clinical and histologic features, not associated with Cowden disease.

Bear attacks are rare, although global incidents have been increasing. Injury patterns of bear attacks against humans consistently include injuries to the face, head, neck, chest, and upper extremities. Here, we have a brief report of a 59-year-old male hunter who was attacked by a grizzly bear in Wyoming. He sustained multiple lacerations to his face which included an avulsion of his nose and upper lip, as well as extensive associated facial fractures. Additional injuries included soft tissue and bony injuries to the upper extremities. He underwent 53 operations during his first hospitalization, primarily of facial reconstruction, which required nose and upper lip replant to his arm. His course was complicated by pressure ulcers, bacteria, acute kidney injury, and a urinary tract infection. After successful coordinated multidisciplinary care and a prolonged hospitalization, he was ultimately discharged to his home.

Plexiform schwannoma is a rare benign variant of Schwann cell tumor characterised by multinodular plexiform growth pattern. Usual location of this tumor includes trunk, head, neck and upper extremities but it may rarely be found in lower extremities. It generally affects young adults with no sex predilection. We report a case of 37 years old male who presented with gradually progressive swelling of right little finger of 28years duration that was diagnosed as giant cell tumor of tendon sheath clinically, radiologically and intraoperatively. Authors wish to discuss the case due to its clinical rarity and diagnostic difficulties due to many common histological mimickers at that site.

Complementary Study

Masson's tumour, also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, is a rare non-neoplastic lesion of vascular origin, caused by an excessive reactive proliferation of endothelial cells in normal blood vessels or vascular malformations. It can affect any part of the body, presenting most frequently in the vessels of the head, neck and upper extremities. The authors describe the case of a 76-year-old female patient presenting an anterior cervical mass, measuring 2×2 cm, which was mobile, tender and slightly painful with no alteration of the overlying skin. Complementary study with ultrasound and computed tomography was inconclusive. Total excision of the lesion was performed with histology compatible with intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia.

Neurothekeoma is a rare benign neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. Progresses in immunohistochemistry have brought new insights into its cellular differentiation and origin, recognizing the possibility of a fibrohystiocitic lineage. Also, it has been subclassified histopathologically as either myxoid, cellular, or mixed type, depending on the amount of myxoid matrix and on immunohistochemical analysis. Few cases of cellular neurothekeoma have been reported. Most of them are found on the head, neck and upper extremities and mostly in young female adults. On review of literature we have not found reports regarding dermoscopic features of neurothekeoma. Herein we report an uncommon case of cellular neurothekeoma on the axilla of a 7–year-old girl, with description of its dermoscopic findings.

Background: Melanoma has been described to have preferential left-sided laterality on the human body. The distribution and invasion patterns of lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) have not been well described. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, retrospective study at a single, academic center. LM and LMM cases from 2008-2018 in the dermatopathology registry were analyzed. Results: A total of 392 cases were included (241 LM and 151 LMM). There was no laterality preference overall. The only exception were neoplasms located on the head/neck, which showed a left-sided laterality. LM and LMM had the highest incidence on the head/neck, followed by upper extremities, trunk, then lower extremities. Men had a higher incidence on the head/neck and trunk, while women had a higher incidence on the extremities. Interestingly, the upper extremities and the right side of the female body had a higher propensity for invasive lesions. Conclusion: While melanomas demonstrate preferential left-sided laterality, LM and LMM only share this pattern in respect to the head/neck region. Our results complement previous study findings which characterize LM and LMM as a head/neck and upper extremity pathology. Finally, our study suggests that certain body sites and laterality have an increased propensity for invasion.

We present the case of a female patient with facial cutaneous lesions, a cobblestone-like pattern of the oral mucosa, and verruciform lesions on the hand since her youth. She reported a history of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, melanoma and multiple benign tumors and cysts. PTEN gene analysis was performed and confirmed Cowden Syndrome, a rare genodermatosis with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, characterized by multiple hamartomas. The phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene negatively regulates cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Loss of PTEN function contributes to an increased risk of cancer. We emphasize the importance of early detection and accurate management of Cowden Syndrome.

The peculiarities of changes of the microcirculation of the nail-bed and central venous pressure (CVP) have been presented in the poper in patients the with 2nd stage of essential hypertension depending on different variants of the circadian rhythm of arterial pressure. An inverse interdependence has been established between the level and a decrease of the specific gravity of the functioning capillaries in the patients with a low (non-dipper) and negative (night-picker) diurnal index of arterial pressure that con be used as diagnostic criteria of a high risk of possible complications of essential hypertension.
