ABSTRACT Background The solitary bone cyst is an uncommon nonepithelial cyst. Clinically, the lesion is asymptomatic in the majority of cases and is often accidentally discovered on routine radiological examination, frequently during the second decade of life. Its pathogenesis is still not clearly understood. The majority of solitary bone cysts are located in the mandibular body. This article presents two case reports, one in whom a cyst was diagnosed on routine radiographic examination and other patient reported with dull ache and radiographic examination showed bilateral presentation of the cystic lesion. Materials and methods In both patients the biopsy was planned. On surgical opening the lesions presented empty cavities. Curettage was done and overlying bone sent for histopathological examination. Both patients were followed for 1 year. Results At follow-up visit both patients were examined clinically and radiographically. In both the patients resolution of the lesion was seen at follow-up visit. Conclusion Solitary bone cyst is a rare entity with typical clinical and radiographic features. However, confirmation of diagnosis can be made only by histological examination. Solitary bone cyst may be secondary to an underlying bone pathology. Solitary bone cyst of the head and neck may vary in presentation and severity. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice and provides a satisfying outcome.

Carcinosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, melanoma and carcinoid as primary tumors in the ovary are extremely rare. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature from 2010 to 2021, based on specific criteria, to analyze the treatment of these rare ovarian neoplasms. We also aimed to verify whether modern therapies have been found in recent years. For this article, 80 papers were finally selected. The vast majority of the articles were clinical case reports. Despite single mentions of new potential pharmacological treatments, surgery (radical or fertility-sparing) is definitely the mainstay of treatment. There are currently no treatment guidelines for these tumors. A review of the literature has revealed the use of various adjuvant treatments. We, therefore, believe that a more detailed understanding of the biology of these tumors is necessary in order to find new target points for treatment. We would like to emphasize the importance of creating an international database of rare ovarian tumors which would make it possible to gather data from various oncological centers and enable further research into these neoplasms.
