Objectives: To describe the features of an oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal myxoma.Materials and methods: Case report of a 34-year-old patient operated upon for a dual-location tumour, and review of the literature.Results: The myxoma is a rare tumour. Various head and neck locations have been described, but not (to our knowledge) a tumour in both the oropharynx and the hypopharynx. Multiple synchronous locations must be searched for, particularly regarding cardiac myxoma.Conclusion: The myxoma is a rare, benign tumour, even rarer in the head and neck. Surgical treatment must be complete in order to avoid recurrences, and should be performed after assessment for cardiac involvement.

Giant renal leiomyoma is a rare benign tumour with a prevalently smooth muscular component; its clinical aspect and radiological and histological aspects are described. Renal leiomyoma should always be considered in differential diagnosis of a renal mass and surgical exploration is necessary to obtain the histological evidence.

Angioleiomyoma is a rare benign tumour of uterus. We are presenting an unusual case of 45-year-old female with 11 kg giant angioleiomyoma of uterus which was masquerading as ovarian tumour on imaging. Exploratory laparotomy was done which was suggestive of huge lobulated mass arising from the uterus. Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was done. Histopathological examination of specimen was suggestive of uterine subserosal and broad ligament angioleiomyoma of cavernous type. This case is being reported because of its rarity and challenges in diagnosis and management.

Lipoblastoma of the hand is a rare benign tumour of infancy. Although benign, the tumour can present as a large mass. We present a case of a two-year-old female with a large, slowly growing soft tissue mass between the second and third metacarpal of the right hand. After excision of the mass, the deep transverse metacarpal ligament (DTML) was reconstructed using a free tendon graft from the extensor indicis propius (EIP).

AbstractA 56-year-old woman presented with unilateral tinnitus and hearing loss for 18 months. A middle ear mass was detected clinically. At operation, the tumour was found to have eroded the stapes. The light and electron microscopic features of the tumour were those of a middle ear adenoma. This rare benign tumour has an excellent prognosis. Erosion of an ossicle has not been previously associated with this tumour.Benign adenomatous tumours arising from middle ear mucosa are rare (Mills and Fechner, 1984). The term adenoma of middle ear was proposed by Hyams and Michales (1976), and their review of 20 cases emphasized the benign behaviour of these tumours. We report a case of middle ear adenoma in which ossicular erosion occurred.

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign tumour of bone. Diagnosis is not easy and is often made by excluding other tumours. Histopathological diagnosis of this tumour is also sometimes not easy. The treatment modalities for this tumour are non-uniform and often controversial. In the present case surgical options were left aside because the patient did not consent to surgery, so radiotherapy was used, with success at 3-year follow-up. This case is presented here along with a review of relevant literature.

Congenital granular cell tumour (epulis) is a rare benign tumour occurring in gingiva of neonates, of unknown histogenesis, predominantly occurring in girls. It can cause feeding and respiratory difficulty. We describe a case of a newborn male baby born with swelling in the gingiva of anterior segment of upper jaw. The lesion was excised, with baby doing well at follow up.

Myopericytoma is a rare benign tumour composed of pericytic cells that show myoid differentiation and have a tendency for concentric perivascular growth. It belongs to a spectrum of perivascular myoid cell neoplasms. To date, only a small number of cases of myopericytoma involving the oral cavity have been reported. We describe a case of myopericytoma presenting as a slowly growing tongue nodule in a 61-year-old woman. A diagnosis of myopericytoma was established with the histopathological findings combined with immunohistochemical staining. Myopericytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of well-circumscribed, slow-growing lesions of the oral cavity.
