Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), previously described as inflammatory pseudotumor, can occur at any age but is a recognized soft tissue tumor of childhood. Less than 10 previous cases have been described of IMT affecting the heart, in patients ranging from 5 months to 17 years of age. We present three unusual, but similar, cases of IMT in infants, which were all predominantly intravascular in location, one of which was associated with death due to angiodestructive lesions of the coronary and cerebral arteries. These cases demonstrate an apparently distinct phenotype, with a predominant intravascular location of the tumor. Furthermore, this series highlights the difficulty in categorizing such lesions as benign versus malignant on histological grounds alone. IMT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unusual pediatric intravascular spindle cell lesions.

ABSTRACT Lipoma is the commonest soft tissue tumor arising anywhere in the body, but its occurrence in the larynx is relatively rare. We present a rarest case of lipoma with cartilaginous metaplasia arising from the larynx just above the anterior commissure. The second case report is about a large spindle cell lipoma of larynx presented with stridor. How to cite this article Megalamani SB, Gadag R, Raza A, Satish A. Lipomas of Larynx: The Rare Entities.

Histological Criteria

It is uncommon for extramammary tumors to metastasize to the breast, and very few cases describing metastasis of primary uterine leiomyosarcoma to the breast have been reported. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman diagnosed with metastasis of uterine leiomyosarcoma to the breast diagnosed 10 years ago after hysterectomy. Ultrasonography, mammography, and cytology were used to establish a preliminary diagnosis that was confirmed upon examination of the excised tumor that show a rare soft tissue tumor composed of atypical spindle cells and increased proliferation rate. We discuss the importance of distinguishing between various primary mesenchymal tumors of the breast because of phenotypic overlap and some guidance of the histological criteria for metastasis of leiomyosarcoma, as well as differential diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Fibrous Tumor

Pleuropulmonary synovial sarcoma is a diagnostic challenge. Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue tumor of joints and extremities and are rarely seen in the mediastinum. We report this tumor at a very unusual location – the mediastinum in a 40-year-old female. The histopathology picture along with the location suggested a differential diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor or mesothelioma, but immunohistochemistry helped in reaching the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.
