Mechanical Irritation

Osteochondroma of the scapula is a rare benign tumor in view of its location, which produces pain and mechanical dysfunction of the joint when it is on the ventral surface of the scapula, mainly affecting men during bone growth periods, between the ages of 10 and 30, accounting for 14.4 % of all scapula tumors and 49 % of benign tumors of the scapula. They arise in the metaphyseal regions of the long bones (femur, humerus, tibia), causing mechanical irritation leading to functional impotence, bursitis, and fracture of the scapula. Few cases in flat bones have been described. Diagnosis is made with physical, clinical and complementary examinations, and must be confirmed by prior histopathology biopsy. The surgical indication includes mechanical dysfunction of a joint or tendon in relation to the size of the lesion, sarcomatous change being the procedure of choice in open surgical excision. The case of an 11-year-old girl who was diagnosed with a subscapular osteochondroma after previous excisional biopsy, is described below.

Endobronchial lipomatous polyp is a rare nonmalignant tumor of the lung. It comprises 5% of the benign lung tumor, with the majority of benign tumors being hamartoma. Lipomatous polyp often leads to endobronchial lesion, associated with postobstructive pneumonia, hemoptysis, and atelectasis. We hereby present a case and discussion of an elderly man with endobronchial lipomatous polyp, presenting as recurrent pneumonia.

Mammary myofibroblastoma is a rare benign tumor of the breast, with a higher incidence in elderly age group. It is diagnosed via radiologic and histologic findings, as clinical findings share the same presentation with other, more common, benign breast pathologies. Surgical excision is the only treatment modality used to treat this tumor. We report the case of a 56-years-old-male, who presented with the complaint of left-sided chest swelling for 1 year following a minor trauma to the chest. Ultrasonographic imaging of the mass was the initial investigation and it revealed a well-defined hypoechoic lesion, excisional biopsy was done, followed by histopathological analysis of the mass, which gave the diagnosis of mammary myofibroblastoma. The aim of this case-report is to further study and characterize this rare lesion and its relationship to previous minor or major trauma and other risk factors, in addition, a proper diagnosis should be taken when encountering a similar mass as it mimics many benign and malignant tumors, furthermore a follow up plan should be established to assess the rate of possible recurrence.

<p class="abstract">Cutaneous leiomyomas are benign tumors that can be exquisitely painful. Comprise three distinct types such as piloleimyoma, angioleiomyoma, and genital leiomyoma. Piloleiomyomas, derived from arrector pili muscle, are solitary or multiple firm papulonodules located mostly on the extremities and trunk; genital leiomyomas, derived from dartoic, vulvar, or mammary smooth muscle, are solitary or papulonodules located on the scrotum, vulva, or nipple; and angioleiomyomas, include solid, cavernous, or venous subtypes, are derived from the tunica media of small arteries and veins and typically present on the extremities. Excisional biopsy is required for diagnosing all cutaneous leiomyomas Histology shows interlacing fibers of spindle cells with moderate amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm and a blunt-ended, elongated nucleus with perinuclear halos. Surgical excision is curative for cutaneous leiomyomas, with other management options including medical or destructive therapy. A 36-year-old male patient presented with a 13 years history of painful, multiple lesions over the back. Based on the histopathological examination, imaging, and past medical records, a diagnosis of familial leiomyoma was made. His brother had similar disease. The patient was started on tab gabapentin 300mg at night. Patient advised for carbon dioxide laser excision. The present case report has been reported for its interesting clinical presentations and rarity.</p>

Osteochondromas are common benign tumors of cartilage and bone. They are usually found as contiguous bone with a cartilage cap at the end of the growth plate of long bones. Similar to structure are extraskeletal osteochondromas. However, unlike typical osteochondromas, extraskeletal osteochondromas are noncontinuous with bone. To our knowledge, all reported extraskeletal osteochondromas have been contained within fascial compartments. Here we present the case of a 5-year-old female who had a slow growing mass of the anterior distal right thigh. Imaging studies revealed an ossified mass extending from dermal layer of the subcutaneous tissue with no connection to the underlying deep fascia. An excisional biopsy was performed and proved to be a subdermal extraskeletal osteochondroma.

Histopathologic Findings

Osteoma of the external auditory canal is a rare benign tumor with an estimated incidence of 0.05% of total otologic surgeries. In most cases, an osteoma in the external auditory canal does not cause symptoms because the tumor grows slowly and does not occlude the ear canal. However, if the mass grows to occlude the external auditory canal, several symptoms can occur, including conductive hearing loss, aural fullness, and keratin debris accumulation. We present two cases of this rare tumor in a 23-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man. The mass was surgically excised at the level of the peduncle under local anesthesia with microscope assistance. The base of the excised mass was drilled with a diamond burr to remove all osseous lesions. Histopathologic findings showed spongiotic osteomas. In these cases, patients had symptoms of aural fullness, although the osteomas did not completely occlude the external auditory canal, and the symptoms improved after surgical excision without recurrence.

Rare Benign Tumor

ABSTRACTNeurofibromas (NF) are benign tumors of neural origin, of which roughly 90% appear as solitary lesions. They are classified into cutaneous, subcutaneous, and plexiform subtypes. Plexiform neurofibromas are the least common variant and usually are pathognomonic for NF I. Here, we present a very rare case of isolated plexiform neurofibroma with a painless enlarging mass of the tongue of an 11-year-old girl. This rare benign tumor has the potential for malignant transformation, and the diagnosis was difficult owing to the patient's age and to the insidious clinical presentation. The present case is a diffuse isolated plexiform neurofibroma of the tongue that was not associated with neurofibromatosis that was treated with intraoral surgery.

Abstract Background: Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a rare, benign tumor. The most common sites are the long tubular bones and mandible. Although generally considered a benign tumor, it can invade surrounding tissues and has a high rate of local recurrence after incomplete surgical excision. However, there is currently no stantard treatment. Here we present a novel case of DF in the left 6th rib in a 35-year-old man.Case presentation: The man presented to our center with left chest pain and swelling. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a 4.5×2.0 cm mass on the left 6th rib with pathological fracture.Wide resection was performed. Open biopsy revealed that the tumor destroyed medullary cavity and partially broke through the bone cortex. Pathologically, the tumor was composed of spindle-shaped cells arranging in a woven pattern on a backgroung of abundant collagenous fiber. No β-catenin were detected. Based on the pathological and radiological findings, a final diagnosis of DF was made. No postoperative adjuvant treatments were administerded. Fortunately, there was no evidence of recurrence 22 months after surgery. Conclusions: DF originated from rib is a kind of extremly rare benign tumor but locally aggressive and show unique biologically features. Wide resection or total resection can effectively reduce the risk of local recurrence when compared with curettage. Rarity of the tumor favors documentation in literature.

Osteochondromas are the most common benign tumours of bone. They are most commonly seen in the metaphyseal regions of long bones (femur, tibia, humerus). The scapula is rarely involved, and very few cases of solitary osteochondroma of scapula have been reported in literature. We present the case of a 17 year old male who presented with pain and limited range of motion of his right shoulder. CT scan revealed an osteochondroma on the dorsomedial surface of the right scapula extending into the ventral surface. Surgical excision was done and histopathological study showed osteochondroma of the scapula.

Adults And Children

Oncological diseases are one of the most important problems of our time facing both adults and children. In children, benign tumors are more common. There are no specific signs or symptoms in the early stages of oncological diseases, which often leads to late diagnosis. Here we report a case of a rare benign tumor – metanephric adenofibroma of the kidney, found in a toddler. The patient underwent ureteronephrectomy. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry of the kidney tissue. The patient’s parents gave their consent to the use of their child’s data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
