Tomography Scan

A retroperitoneal finding on a computerized tomography scan, in a symptomatic patient, can harbor the clinician to many differential diagnoses from infectious to malignancy. Desmoid fibromatosis (DF), a relatively innocuous mass that can spread locally, can be found in that anatomical region. Even for a rare tumor such as DF, our patient did not meet the usual benchmarks of this cancer, being an elderly female and having it appear as an abscess radiologically. Timely clinical response with radiotherapy and tamoxifen allowed our patient’s DF to regress and resolved her symptoms.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (ESMC) is a rare tumor seen more often in men. It is seen to arise from soft tissue of lower extremity or buttocks. We report a case of soft tissue swelling of left labium majus in a 66-year-old female. Patient underwent wide excision with uneventful postoperative course. Histopathology of specimen confirmed it to be ESMC. Patient refused adjuvant therapy. Followup of 1 year has shown her to be disease- and symptom- free. Only two cases arising from vulva have been reported in literature . This is the third case and first from Indian subcontinent. A brief review of clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of patients with extraskeletal chondrosarcoma is presented.

Rare Group

Mastocytosis is a rare group of disorders occurring when mast cells diffusely infiltrate the skin or internal organs. It has two forms: Cutaneous and systemic mastocytosis. We present a case of a 12-year-old male child presenting with a reddish-brown cutaneous nodule on the anterior chest wall for 1 month. No other similar lesions were noted elsewhere. Routine hematological and radiological investigations did not reveal any abnormality. The lesion was excised, and a diagnosis of solitary cutaneous mastocytoma was made based on the clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing this rare tumor which can present as an asymptomatic cutaneous lesion in a young child.

Common Location

Lipoblastoma is a rare tumor of infancy. It originates from the white fetal fat in soft tissue. The most common location of this rare tumor is extremity and to best of our knowledge less than 10 cases of intrathoracic and mediastinal lipoblastoma has been reported in the English literature. Herein we present our experience with a 15-month-old boy infant who presented with severe dyspnea. Imaging studies showed a mass in the thoracic cavity and mediastinum which was diagnosed as lipoblastoma after pathologic examination of the resected mass. Lipoblastoma has been considered as a tumor of soft tissue, but it should also be considered as a rare cause of intrathoracic masses of young children.

Abstract Introduction Mesenteric fibromatosis-desmoid tumor of mesentery is a rare benign soft tissue tumor of mesentery. On CT, it mimics gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Case Report A 44-year-old female with small intestinal mass, preoperatively diagnosed radiologically and pathologically as GIST. Conclusion Mesenteric fibromatosis is a rare tumor often mistaken for GIST. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry is the key as management of both the tumors differs.

<p><span lang="EN-US">The Desmoplastic Fibroma is a benign rare tumor of fibroblastic origin, representing only 0.03% of benign bone tumors. Displays aggressive behavior and high rates of recurrence, which makes the treatment more aggressive. We report a case of a 11 years-old female, complaining of increased volume in the jaw. The patient had an extensive swelling of the left mandibular body with invasion of the border of the tongue and floor of the mouth at the same side. She had a history of 4 recurrences at the same place. Images exams revealed expansive lesion in body and ramus of the jaw with involvement of soft tissue on the lingual side of the lesion. The treatment was excision of the lesion with extra oral access and reconstruction with microvascularized fibula graft. The patient lies in clinically and radiographic followed for 2 years without recurrence.</span></p>

They encompass a variety of clinicopathological features that makes their diagnosis difficult. They are divided into various categories, as this division has an important prognostic implication. We describe a rare case of recurrent cutaneous leiomyosarcoma of the anterior abdominal wall in a 50 years old female. </p>

Furthermore, we thoroughly describe the pathologic features and the broad differential diagnosis that should always be included in the study of any retroperitoneal soft tissue mass to arrive at the final diagnosis.

Schwannoma is a tumor of schwann cell proliferation which presents as a solitary, soft, skin-colored dermal or subcutaneous papulo-nodule most commonly on the flexor part of extremities and head and neck areas. Here, we report a case of nail unit schwannoma, which is a rare tumor of the nail apparatus with only 4 other prior reports in the literature. This case illustrates the importance of including subungual schwannoma in the clinical differential diagnosis of subungual soft tissue tumors. We include a literature review which catalogs and summarizes the current knowledge regarding this unusual nail unit neoplasm.

We report on a patient with a teratoid carcinosarcoma of the lateral nasal wall with extension into the paranasal sinuses. This exceedingly rare tumor is characterized by a combination of malignant epithelial and atypical mesenchymal cells showing aggressive features with invasion of soft tissue and bone. The patient in this report was treated with a neurosurgical and midface approach combined with postoperative radiation.
