Primary mediastinal sarcomas are extremely rare. Additionally, mediastinal leiomyosarcomas account for approximately 9% of mediastinal sarcoma cases. Until date, only few cases of anterior mediastinal leiomyosarcomas have been reported. Herein, we report a case of an 85-year-old female with an anterior mediastinal mass of 15 mm. Histological examination revealed spindle tumor cells showing a fascicular growth pattern. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were focal positive for desmin, calponin, and α-smooth muscle actin. The pathological diagnosis was leiomyosarcoma. In conclusion, we encountered a case of a very rare leiomyosarcoma that occurred in the anterior mediastinum, and our report may contribute to the understanding of this disease.

Verrucous venous malformation (VVM) is a vascular malformation that is rarely reported in the literature which has vascular and hyperkeratotic components affecting mainly the extremities, difficult to treat, and often associated with complications mainly bleeding, ulceration with secondary infections, and limitation of movement. In this article, we report a successful improvement of VVM with sirolimus.
