Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare benign primary skeletal tumor that occurs frequently in the long bones and the pelvis. The calcaneus is an unusual location for benign fibrous histiocytoma. We did not identify any case of benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the calcaneus in the relevant literature. We describe a 22-year-old male patient with benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the calcaneus treated with curettage and bone grafting. At the final follow-up visit, 1 year after surgery, the patient was free of pain and walking unaided. We discuss the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the calcaneus.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma is an interesting and challenging entity even in its most usual, cutaneous presentation. Noncutaneous presentation is extremely limited, even more so for the mucosa of the head and neck area. We herein report such a case, describing the clinical characteristics of the lesion, complete diagnostic evaluation, management, and follow-up. Diagnostic histopathological challenges are specifically illustrated. A complete review of the relevant literature is also included.

Intraosseous ganglia are benign cystic lesions located in the subchondral bone. Intraosseous ganglion cysts of the ankle are relatively uncommon. We present a case of recurrent intraosseous ganglion in the ankle of a 41-year-old female who had recurrence after initial surgery. She was treated effectively by curettage and autogenous cancellous bone grafting. At the final follow-up, satisfactory results were obtained with no recurrence or complications.

With the advent of antenatal ultrasonography (USG), detection of neonatal intra-abdominal cystic lesions is on the rise. We present a neonate who was detected antenatally to have a cystic lesion per abdomen and presented with features of intestinal obstruction on first postnatal day. Emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed a left torsed ovarian cyst compressing the ileoceacal junction. Left oophorectomy was done and ovarian torsion was confirmed by histopathology examination. The USG abdomen at six months follow up showed a well visualised right ovary.

Cystic fibrohistiocytic tumour of the lung is a very rare pathological entity that occurs either as a primary pulmonary neoplasm or as a metastasis from skin lesions called cellular fibrous histiocytomas. Herein, we present the case of a 19-year old man with a history of recurrent pneumothoraces who was managed surgically and was eventually diagnosed with cystic fibrohistiocytic tumour of the lung. Clinicians should include this disease in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary cystic lesions and be aware of its association with cellular fibrous histiocytoma. Reporting of more cases is warranted to further elucidate the natural course of the disease and optimise its management.

Abstract A number of fibrous lesions involving bone display almost identical histologic appearances yet may represent either reactive or neoplastic conditions, resulting in a confusing nomenclature and possible diagnostic confusion. We report the case of a young man with no significant previous medical history who presented with a painful lesion in the left shoulder, which consisted almost entirely of xanthomatous material. We discuss the possible differential diagnosis of this lesion and why benign fibrous histiocytoma is the preferred terminology for this lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the acromion in an adult.

IntroductionSolitary osseous plasmacytoma rarely involves the distal extremities. We report a case and provide a brief review of the relevant literature.Case presentationWe report a 64-year-old man who presented with swelling, mild pain and a deformed right index finger. The workup led to the diagnosis of solitary osseous plasmacytoma and the patient eventually required amputation of his finger. With clinical follow-up, the disease spread to regional lymph nodes and subsequently the patient developed systemic involvement and received chemotherapy.ConclusionsSolitary osseous plasmacytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of distal extremity neoplasms.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Usually delayed union of fracture long bones are managed by putting a bone graft at fracture site , but bone grafting have donor site complication like scar, infection ,hernia ,gait disturbance , cosmetic problem, as well as recipient site complication like soft tissue trauma , de-vascularisation of fracture fragment. Bone marrow infiltration is a minimally invasive method done percutaneously. It is easy, safe procedure with no associated complications that may occur in bone grafting.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This prospective study was conducted in the Department of orthopedics, Government Medical College, Kota from June 2011 to November 2013 to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous bone marrow infiltration in cases of delayed union of long bones. 27 patients included in study with 28 bones, as one patient has given bone marrow injection in two bones (tibia &amp; femur), so the cases included in study counted as 28 cases. The mean age of this study was 38.28 years, ranging from 18 years to 75 years.  All cases were follow up after 4 to 6 weeks and thereafter one month interval. Final follow up was taken when fracture site shows clinical and radiological sign of union.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Out of 23 united cases 19 had excellent results and 04 cases had good results. The five cases which fail to unite were taken as poor results.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Bone marrow infiltration is a minimally invasive, safe bone graft substitute for delayed union of long bones and have less complications.</p>

Lipomas of the palatine tonsil are rare benign neoplasms in clinical practice. We present a case of palatine tonsillar fibroangiolipoma in a 50-year-old Chinese male with a history of multiple lipomas on the back and extremities. It was diagnosed based on histological examination and integrated analysis. Good wound healing and no evidence of recurrence were noted within 6 months follow-up after tonsillectomy. This article also puts a spotlight on the differential diagnosis of benign tonsillar tumors and reviewed recent relevant literature.

Abstract A case of primary intracerebral plasma cell granuloma without meningeal attachment is presented. Histologically, the lesion showed two different patterns. At the center, it displayed the features of a benign fibrous histiocytoma. At the periphery, a mixture of polyclonal plasma cells, lymphocytes, and “epithelial-like”cells was observed. Electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry confirmed the histiocytic nature of the “epithelial-like cells.” The differential diagnosis and histogenesis of such a lesion are discussed.

AbstractBenign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) of bone is quite rare, and here we report the second case of such tumor originating from sacrum, with the first being reported in an 18-year-old female. The overlapping clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings make it a difficult diagnosis along with the fact that it is a rare diagnosis. In this case report, we present the diagnostic difficulties and optimal treatment for such cases. A 46-year-old male w presented to OPD with complaint of numbness in left foot since 1 month, and intermittent urinary incontinence for 2 weeks. On examination, the straight leg raising test was positive of left side, extensor hallucis longus (EHL) was weak in both lower limbs, and bilateral ankle jerks were diminished. MRI showed well-defined lobulated solid mass lesion, which is T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense and homogeneously involving the S1 vertebral body, with involvement of the right sacral ala, and right sacral foramen seen at S1 and S2 levels extending into the spinal canal till L4 level. Excision through a posterior midline incision was performed taking care to preserve the traversing nerves. Postoperatively, remarkable improvement in pain with no major residual neurological deficit was observed. Patient was followed-up till 9 months; patient’s incontinence improved over a period of 3 months and has stayed the same until the last follow-up.
