SummaryThe authors have treated a 61-year-old woman with neurilemmoma of the larynx. The tumour was located in the submucosal region of the arytenoid on the right side of the larynx. Surgical resection of the tumour had to be done by external neck excision instead of endoscopically.

Purpose: To report an unusual case of frontal sinus keratocyst. Case Report: A 31 year old woman presented with a history of swollen right eye and visual field impairment. The ophthalmological examination revealed right superior eyelid edema and some degrees of proptosis. CT scan with iodine injection evidenced the opacification of the right frontal sinus with superior orbital wall lysis. Complete endoscopic surgical resection of a mass containing foul smelling keratin material was performed via Draf type III. The patient became symptomatic after 6 years. Imaging studies showed neo- osteogenesis in the far lateral end of right frontal sinus. Frontal trephination was done and the remnant of keratocyst was removed and the septum interfacing the cell and the right frontal sinus was walled down entirely. Conclusion: Although frontal sinus keratocyst is benign but can spread to the surrounding structures leading to several complications. Therefore, complete surgical resection is necessary to avoid recurrence.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a relatively uncommon, benign, histiocytic proliferative cutaneous disorder that typically affects children, with the head and neck being the most common sites. The present case report describes an isolated subcutaneous JXG in a 4-year-old girl who presented with a circumscribed oval mass located in the lower eyelid of the right eye. This lesion was histologically diagnosed as JXG after a surgical resection of the mass.

Introduction. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. They frequently occur in the stomach and small intestine, but they rarely occur in the colon and rectum. Case report. This is a case report of a patient with a GIST involving the cecum, and acute obstruction of the small intestine. A 47-year- old male patient was admitted to the emergency surgery department with abdominal pain and distension lasting for a few days. Clinical examination revealed tenderness in the right iliac fossa. Routine hematologic testing revealed anemia, and abdominal x-ray multiple air-fluid levels in the small intestine. Based on the clinical findings, we decided to perform an explorative laparotomy. A large cecal tumor was detected. The proximal parts of the small intestine were severely distended. Discussion and Conclusion. GISTs are more common in the stomach (60-70%) and the small intestine (25-35%), than in the colon, rectum and esophagus. The most frequent complications associated with GISTs are obstructions and hemorrhages. Surgical resection is the primary treatment of GISTs. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally ineffective. Continuous postoperative follow-up is necessary, because most recurrences occur within the first 2 years after complete surgical resection. In the past few years, surgical resection was followed by adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. .

Uterine carcinosarcomas are rare and extremely aggressive undifferentiated carcinomas which include both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. A 52-year-old female presented with heavy irregular menstrual bleeding for several years and new right elbow pain and swelling. Ultrasound and computed tomography showed a large uterine mass with regional and distant metastatic lymphadenopathy and suspicious findings of osseous metastasis to the right elbow. A biopsy confirmed uterine carcinosarcoma, and the patient underwent chemotherapy and then surgical resection of the uterine mass with palliative radiotherapy of the right elbow. The postoperative imaging showed new metastasis, and the patient was scheduled to start on immunotherapy. Considering the highly invasive nature of uterine carcinosarcomas, timely detection of this cancer using characteristic imaging and pathology findings is of extreme importance to improve the patient’s survival.

Metaplastic breast carcinoma is very rare neoplasm. Authors report a case of metaplastic breast carcinoma containing characteristic features of infiltrating ductal carcinoma and chondrosarcoma. A 62-year-old female presented with complaint of a lump in the right breast for the last 2 years. FNAC was suggestive of mucinous tumour. Tru-cut biopsy had been performed outside the institution, which was suggestive of a Ductal carcinoma with mucinous component. Modified radical mastectomy of the right breast was performed and histopathology was suggestive of infiltrating ductal carcinoma and chondrosarcoma of the right breast. All resected lymph nodes were free of metastasis. Immunohistochemistry was suggestive of a metaplastic carcinoma with components of ductal carcinoma and chondrosarcoma with moderately positive ER, negative PR, positive Pancytokeratin in ductal carcinoma component, positive S-100 and KI-67.
