Slow-growing giant liposarcoma in the extremity: a case report

Testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin is a rare benign tumor of testis, which usually presents as a slow growing testicular mass. Intratesticular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin, with or without minor sex cord elements, must be considered, analogous to similar tumors in ovary, as a benign tumor. Until now, only 25 cases of testicular fibroma have been reported in the literature. We reported a case of testicular fibroma in a 20 years male who presented with painless right testicular enlargement since two years. Ultrasonography (USG) showed heterogeneous mass in right scrotum suggestive of testicular malignancy. Right orchidectomy was done. Histopathological diagnosis was testicular fibroma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Slow Growing

Propionibacterium acnes (Cutibacterium acnes) is an anaerobic, gram-positive, slow growing bacteria. It can produce various virulence factors like bioactive exocellular products and metabolites. P.acnes blood isolates were considered signicant if two or more separate blood culture sets were positive on the same day and if systemic inammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was present without any alternate explanation. C.acnes if found in the blood of patients with implantable cardiac devices it should be considered as more than just a skin contaminant. These patients should be treated with appropriate therapies to prevent annihilatory consequences.

Progressive Dysphagia

ABSTRACT Shwannoma, better known as neurilemmomas, are benign, slow growing, usually solitary and encapsulated tumor, originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. They are exceedingly rare in the base of tongue and, therefore, not immediately thought of as a differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal tumors. However, the key to the diagnosis lies in the histopathologic examination. A number of surgical approaches have been proposed for tongue base Schwannomas with varying degree of postoperative morbidity. We report a case where a 19-year-old woman presented to us with progressive dysphagia, occasional dysarthria, and was found to have a large tongue base lesion. Diagnosis was confirmed by imaging studies and biopsy. Transoral laser assisted excision of the tumor was done. Histologic identification of Antoni A and B areas along with strong and diffuse staining with S-100 stain confirmed the diagnosis of Schwannoma.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a well-bordered, slow-growing, benign fibro-osseous disease. Although its localization is generally in the mandible, it can be seen in any area of the craniofacial region. Radiology and histopathology help to diagnose the condition. Treatment is based on close observation and/or surgical excision. In this case, we report the case of a 62-year-old male patient who had a large radiological appearance, cemento-ossifying fibroma in the paranasal sinuses.

Distinct Subtype

Abstract Background. XP11.2 renal translocation carcinomas are often encountered in paediatric group of patients where they are believed to be rather indolent. They are rare but more aggressive in young adults. They are slow growing, sometimes without characteristic symptoms and their biologic behaviour is uncertain. Case report. We report two cases of this type of tumour in Slovenian young adult males with long and unusual history. Tumours were confirmed imunohistologically by positive reaction for CD10, P504S and TFE3. Conclusions. According to the indications in the literature prognosis of these tumours in young adults depends upon the stage. It seems that cysts, haematomas and necrosis around the kidney are often encountered in these tumours. In advanced stage with lymph nodes involvement or distant metastases, the prognosis is poor. Surgery seems to be basic mode of therapy

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing neoplasms, histologically based on enteroendocrine cells. They are tumors with different degrees of differentiation, uncertain biological nature and metastatic ability. Their most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, with a special group of the neuroendocrine tumors of appendix, which are incidentally found after appendectomy. In case report, we would like to present a case of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix diagnosed by colonoscopy.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasm which rarely occur in the oral cavity. Of the total reported cases of lipoma, only about 15% to 20% of cases have occurred in the head and neck region and the tongue is an even rarer site with only about 4% of the reported cases occurring in that region. They are slow growing and usually asymptomatic in nature. When it grows to a large size, it can hinder the physiological processes that are associated with the area. This case report describes the diagnostic features of tongue lipoma with a brief review of literature.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands and has both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It most commonly arises from the parotid or submandibular glands. Rarely, it arises from the minor salivary glands. We report here a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the soft palate and both sides of anterior tonsillar pillars in a 75-year-old man. This patient was presenting painless slow growing large swelling in the soft palate over 20 years causing mechanical obstruction of airway and food. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. How to cite this article Swain SK, Sahu MC, Tripathy R.

Slow Growing

We present a case of a 26-year-old right hand dominant male landscaper with a slow growing right ring finger subungual mass. MRI confirmed a 0.9 × 1.5 × 0.9 cm well circumscribed subungual mass believed to be consistent with a glomus tumor, although size and symptoms were not consistent with that diagnosis. The mass was completely excised and diagnosis of schwannoma was confirmed by H&E histology. A literature search was performed utilizing the term “subungual schwannoma.” Four case reports were found describing this diagnosis in the hand as well as a single case report describing it in the foot. In summary, this is a 26-year-old male who presents with a schwannoma in the unusual subungual location. Although rare, based on our case and the existing literature, subungual schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of a slow growing subungual mass, particularly if symptoms and exam are inconsistent with more common etiologies.
