Biphenotypic Sinonasal Sarcoma

Context.— Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS) is a rare, slow-growing soft tissue sarcoma of the sinonasal tract, typically presenting with nonspecific obstructive nasal symptoms. Although recurrences are common, no metastases have been reported, and only 1 patient has died of disease thus far. It characteristically demonstrates rearrangements of PAX3 with multiple fusion partners, the most common of which is MAML3. Objectives.— To highlight the most important diagnostic features, including morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings, and to provide comparisons to other entities in the differential diagnosis. We also aim to provide a summary of the clinical features and outcomes in cases reported to date. Data Sources.— Recently published literature encompassing BSNS and its synonym, low-grade sinonasal sarcoma with neural and myogenic differentiation. Conclusions.— BSNS is a sinonasal tumor that is important to recognize because its biologic behavior differs from most of the entities in the differential diagnosis. The diagnosis can typically be rendered through a combination of morphology, immunohistochemical stains, and ancillary testing for characteristic PAX3 rearrangements.

We report hereby the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with a soft-tissue swelling on the palmar aspect of the thumb. A detailed clinical examination followed by ultrasonography and excisional biopsy confirmed a spindle cell lipoma. Lipomas are rare in the hand and exceptional in the fingers, and we report, to our knowledge, the first spindle cell lipoma in the thumb to help in the differential diagnosis of a similar swelling.

Soft Tissue Masses

Inflammatory pseudotumours are uncommonly encountered lesions in the abdomen and pelvis that often present with variable and nonspecific imaging features. They may mimic other more common lesions, including malignancy. Within the appropriate clinical context, inflammatory pseudotumours merit consideration in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue masses within the abdomen and pelvis. A preoperative diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumour, established through biopsy, may help to differentiate this benign entity from malignancy. In this article, we reviewed the imaging features of inflammatory pseudotumours of the abdomen and pelvis, including liver, spleen, bowel, retroperitoneum, kidney, bladder, uterus, and adnexa.

Introduction: Winging of scapula is defined as a failure of dynamic stabilizing structures that anchor the scapula to the chest wall, leading to prominence of the medial border of scapula. It could be primary, secondary, or voluntary. Primary winging could be true winging due to neuromuscular causes or pseudo-winging due to osseous or soft-tissue masses. A scapular osteochondroma is a very rare presentation site and causes pseudo-winging leading to pushing away of the scapula away from the chest wall presenting as medial border prominence. Here, we are reporting a rare case of a scapular osteochondroma causing a pseudo-winging of the scapula. Case Report: A 2-year-old male child presented with painless, immobile, and non-fluctuant swelling over the left scapular region, insidious in onset and progressive in nature. On examination, a non-tender, immobile swelling was palpable with a painless and unrestricted range of motion at the shoulder joint. After evaluating radiographs and CT scan, the patient was diagnosed to have a ventral scapular osteochondroma leading to pseudo-winging of the scapula. Conclusion: Despite the rarity, a differential diagnosis of a scapular osteochondroma should be kept in mind while examining a young child presenting with a winged scapula. Keywords: Scapula, osteochondroma, pseudo-winging.

Only 0.5 to 2% of hydatid cysts are localized in the skeleton and of these, 3 to 4% are found in the skull. In this paper, the authors report a case of primary hydatidosis involving the cranial vault revealed by a bulging mass of the forehead and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure that occurred in a 22-year-old woman who came from a rural area. Through this case and literature review, the authors analyse the epidemiological, clinical and radiological aspects of skull hydatidosis. They conclude that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any soft tissue swelling or osteolytic lesion in the scalp of patients living in endemic areas.
