AbstractA rare case of pharyngeal cyst arising from the second branchial cleft in a 14-year-old boy is described. A cyst located in the right posterolateral wall of the oropharynx was completely removed by an intraoral approach. Histopathological examination revealed that the cyst was lined with columnar (respiratory type) epithelium.

Tumors located in the maxillofacial part of the body were classified by WHO in 2017 and among these are intraosseous form of fibromatosis known as Desmoplastic and Cemento-ossifying fibromas. These tumors usually occur in the head and neck region, especially in the mandible and are relatively rare in the maxilla. Meanwhile, this study aims to discribe a rare case of the cemento ossifying fibroma that had been previously diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma with a mass tumor in the anterior of the maxilla. A 22 years old female reported to the Cipto Mangkusumo Hospital with the main complaint of a lump in the right side of the upper jaw which appeared 2 years prior to the operation. In April 2017, the patient had a biopsy in Tarakan Hospital and the result was a desmoplastic fibroma. Due to the lump enlargement, the patient was admitted to RSCM in July 2019 and had biopsy incision with a diagnosis of cemento ossifying fibroma which was confirmed by the histopathological examination and histology report. The resection of the right part of maxilla was conducted alongside with reconstruction using the free fibular flap. Moreover, cemento ossifying fibroma and desmoplastic fibroma shared similar features, namely, clinical, histological and radiological features which are important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of patient. Hence, extensive enucleation or resection is required due to the progressive nature of the tumor to prevent the potential for further recurrences.

A rare case of lymphoepithelial cyst formed in the piriform sinus of the hypopharynx is reported. Histopathological examination revealed a lymphoepithelial cyst. It was removed by laryngomicrosurgical technique using a side-opened direct laryngoscope. Because this cyst was wide-based on the antero-medial region in the right piriform sinus of the hypopharynx, the mucous membrane around the cyst was incised electrosurgically and then detached to facilitate removal. In this paper, we describe our surgical procedure for removing the cyst in this case and discuss the possible causes of the disease.

ABSTRACT Neurofibroma of soft palate is a rare tumor with this report being the fourth case reported in English literature. We are reporting this case of isolated neurofibroma of soft palate for its rarity. The mass was excised by intraoral approach without prior tracheostomy. Histopathological examination showed features of neurofibroma with secondary changes.

Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is the most commonly encountered congenital neck pathology in the lateral part of the neck. A 66-year-old woman presented to the ENT clinic due to difficulty in swallowing persisting for approximately 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass at right tonsil. Surgery was performed due to this unilateral tonsillar mass, which was excised together with the right tonsil. LEC was diagnosed at histopathological examination. LEC in the palatine tonsil is rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of LEC in the palatine tonsil.

Mixed neuroendocrine nonneuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) are rare neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, where the neuroendocrine as well as the nonneuroendocrine components each comprise at least 30% of the tumor. Of all cases of colorectal malignancies, MiNENs constitute around 3–9.6%, with only a few cases reported to be arising in the cecum. Since majority present with nonspecific clinical and radiological findings, its diagnosis preoperatively is almost impossible and these are usually diagnosed after histopathological examination of the resected specimen. Owing to the rarity of these tumors as well as lack of complete molecular characterization, optimal treatment remains unestablished. We, here, report a rare case of MiNENs of the cecum infiltrating the right psoas muscle and presenting with perforation for which right hemicolectomy and en bloc excision of the involved psoas muscle was done followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

We report a case of a pleomorphic xantoastrocytoma which manifested itself as a cystic isodense lesion in the right fronto-temporal lobe in a 26 year-old woman. It appeared as a soft yellow tumor with cystic cavities on surgery. Five months after this surgery, the patient was submitted to a new operation, which revealed a friable tumor, easily differentiated from the normal parenchyma, with cystic components. The histopathological examination demonstrated pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with malignant transformation. Histologically, the tumor at first procedure was composed of pleomorphic astrocytes with multinucleated and foamy cells. A rare case of malignant transformation in pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma is presented, discussed and illustrated in this paper.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) usually happens in diabetes. It is reported a correlation between the Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) with diabetes. This is a rare case of PEN and RCC in diabetes which occur simultaneously. We present a case of 51 year old male referred with right ?ank mass and medical history of diabetic disease. Renal ultrasound revealed a solid tumor at the upper pole of the right kidney. Plain abdominal X-ray showed a lot of gas, fecal material, and patches of  alcifcation in the right upper abdomen. On abdominal computed tomography found a collection of gas located in the upper right abdomen. An irregular solid tumor detected at the upper pole of the right kidney. The tumors was obtained at surgery and  emphysematous pyelonephritis was found and then nephrectomy performed. Histopathological examination revealed a Renal Cell Carcinoma besides emphysematous pyelonephritis. The patient had no postoperative serious complications during his hospital stay and his symptoms resolved completely. We report the rare case with an occurrence of EPN and RCC simultaneously in diabetes.

Angiofibromas are highly vascular, locally aggressive but histologically benign tumors. A 40-year-old woman complaint of pedunculated mass in the right gingiva of the posterior region since 7 months earlier. Surgical excisional biopsy under general anesthesia was performed. Histopathological examination showed an angiofibroma. Angiofibromas are localized in the superficial soft tissue and the gingiva could have a similar clinical appearance as an epulis. Definitive diagnosis was determined through histopathological analysis.

Intra-testicular epidermoid cyst of testis is a benign tumour and accounts for 1-2% of all testicular neoplasms. It is a benign lesion, and should be distinguished from dermoid cyst or teratoma, which have a considerable malignant potential. We describe a rare case of testicular epidermoid cyst in an elderly male presenting with gradually increasing testicular mass since 8 months. Local examination revealed a non-tender, irregular, hard mass in the right testis. All routine laboratory investigations along with tumour markers were within normal limits. Ultrasound showed features of a testicular neoplasm following which orchidectomy was performed. Grossly, cut surface of testis showed a cyst measuring 4x2x1cm and microscopic examination revealed features of an epidermoid cyst. Extesive sampling excluded the possibility of a teratomatous focus. This case is described owing to the rarity of this neoplasm and the unusual clinico-radiological presentation. The pre-operative diagnosis of this tumour can be made if characteristic sonographic and MRI findings are obtained in the absence of which these masquerade neoplastic lesions. Histopathological examination thus is vital for a decisive diagnosis.
