AbstractHaemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumour produced by proliferation of pericytes. One hundred and thirty-three cases of HPC have been reported in the nose and the paranasal sinuses. We present two more cases. Wide surgical excision via lateral rhinotomy, midfacial degloving, or endonasal removal is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy has been used post-operatively in cases of incomplete removal. Life-long follow-up is required to evaluate local recurrence and late metastases.

The Mean

Hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors of vascular origin most commonly found in the extremities or retroperitoneal area. When they originate from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, they tend to be less aggressive and generally do not metastasize. The term “hemangiopericytoma-like lesion” has been coined for sinonasal hemangiopericytomas that display more benign histologic and growth characteristics than do those located elsewhere. Fifteen cases of hemangiopericytoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were reviewed over the period 1951 to 1990; included are follow-up data on cases reported earlier from this institution. The clinical course, management, and outcome was evaluated and correlated with the histologic characteristics of the tumors. The recurrence rate in our series was 13.3%; the mean follow-up was 11 years. No patients died of their disease or had evidence of metastatic disease. This clinicopathologic review suggests that sinonasal hemangiopericytomas should not be classified as “hemangiopericytoma-like” lesions; rather, they should be expected to have significant local recurrence rates with low rates of distant metastasis and mortality. Long-term follow-up is essential as there can be local recurrence after many years.

Histological Differentiation

Chondrogenic neoplasms of the nasal cavity are rare. Clinically, presentation is often late, with expansion and destruction of the middle facial skeleton. Local radical surgical excision is the preferred treatment, with regular life-long follow-up. Risk of local recurrence and distant metastases may Qccur many years after initial treatment. All chondrogenic tumours should be carefully followed up because the natural course of the disease may not match the histological differentiation.

The successful surgical management of inverted papilloma requires total tumor extirpation. This article will review the technique of lateral rhinotomy and indications for its use. Prevention of complications will be stressed. Literature review focusing on the efficacy of this procedure will be presented. A brief review of midfacial degloving will also be included. Its use for limited, noninvasive lesions will be described. Lateral rhinotomy remains the gold standard against which all other procedures must be compared.

Abstract Objective Glomus tumors are rare lesions that can arise anywhere along the spinal axis. Only thirteen cases have been reported. We report a case of a patient with a rare glomangioma of the thoracic spine. Following a review of the twelve previous cases is a discussion of a spinal glomus tumor with regard to clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Methods A single, recent case arising from the extradural space of the thoracic spine is described, followed by a literature review of spinal glomus tumors. Results Including our case, thirteen cases of a glomus tumor have been reported. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 44.6 years (range: 22–73 years) and the male-to-female (M:F) ratio was 1.17:1. The lesion was located in the cervical spine in 1 patient, the thoracic spine in 7 patients, the lumbar spine in 4 patients, and the sacrum in 1 patient. All the tumors were benign; however, there was one report of local recurrence because of incomplete removal. There were no malignant transformations, metastases, or deaths reported with a mean follow-up of 20.09 ± 28.43 months (range: 2–90 months). Conclusions Spinal glomus tumor are rare, and the preoperative diagnosis is difficult. An overwhelming majority of glomus tumors are benign and are cured by simple local excision. Patients undergoing complete resection have an excellent long-term prognosis.

AbstractWe present a case report of a patient who developed a sinonasal myopericytoma treated by surgical excision through a lateral rhinotomy. Some aggressive features on pre-operative computed tomography scanning and the complexity of recent changes in the histological nomenclature for these tumours led to consideration of adjuvant therapy. The close histological relationship between myopericytoma, myofibromatosis, solitary myofibroma and infantile haemangiopericytoma is discussed. This group of lesions constitute a single morphological spectrum with differentiation towards perivascular myoid cells (pericytes). Currently myopericytoma is the most appropriate and accepted term embracing all these entities. A review of the literature has been reassuring in identifying these tumours as benign but with a reasonably high rate of local recurrence (17 per cent). The treatment of choice is surgical excision with further excisions for local recurrence.

Canine mast cell tumors (MCTs) are the most common cutaneous neoplasm in the dog. It has been suggested that MCT in certain locations may behave in a more biologically aggressive fashion than MCTs located in others; however, no published data are available for MCTs of canine pinnae treated with surgical excision. A retrospective study of 28 animals with surgical excision of MCTs of pinnae was completed with a medical record review and follow-up questionnaire to the operating veterinarian. The effect of tumor grade, clean or dirty excision, cartilage penetration, and mitotic index (MI) on local recurrence and survival time (ST) was evaluated. There was local recurrence in one dog with a grade 2 MCT and in seven of eight dogs with grade 3 MCTs. The median ST of animals with grade 1 and 2 MCTs was not reached, whereas the median ST of animals with grade 3 MCTs was 10 mo. There was no statistical association between histologically clean and dirty margins and either local recurrence or ST. A prolonged disease free interval without local recurrence may be achieved with local excision of grade 1 and 2 MCTs. Animals with grade 3 MCTs had a uniformly poor outcome with short times to local recurrence and death.

New Treatment

ABCs are expansile osteolytic lesions typically containing blood-filled spaces separated by fibrous septae. Standard treatment includes surgical resection or curettage and packing; however, for some spinal lesions, the standard approach is not optimal. One therapeutic strategy is to treat spinal ABC with an agent that targets a pathway that is dysregulated in a disease with similar pathophysiology. Denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody to RANKL is effective in the treatment of GCT's. Spinal ABCs are a therapeutic challenge and local recurrence is a concern. We report a case of aggressive recurrent ABC of dorsal spine in a 14-year old female with progressive neurologic deficit who underwent surgical excision and decompression with a recurrence in a short period for which a decompression and fixation was done. She had a recurrence after an asymptomatic period of 6 months and neurologic worsening. Having ruled out use of embolization and radiotherapy, a remission was achieved by treatment with Denosumab using the regimen for GCTs for a duration of 6 months. Follow-up MRI and CT scans at 24 months following inception of Denosumab depicted complete resolution and no recurrence. We conclude that Denosumab can result in symptomatic and radiological improvement in the recurrent locally aggressive ABC and may be useful in selected cases. Long-term results are mandatory to confirm the efficacy of Denosumab and to evaluate local recurrence after stopping Denosumab.

Abstract Lipoma may occasionally be found within the muscle, which is the intramuscular, infiltrating lipoma. Intramuscular, infiltrating lipoma is an uncommon lesion, and local recurrence can be expected if the surgical margin is not clear. We report 8 patients in a 2-year period diagnosed with intramuscular, infiltrating lipoma who were treated by marginal excision combined with wide excision in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Changhua Christian Hospital. The surgical results were satisfactory, and no local recurrence was noted in an average follow-up period of 40 months. Surgical excision is the best way to treat the symptomatic intramuscular, infiltrating lipoma. Careful preoperative evaluation and complete tumor excision with clear margins are most important to ensure successful surgical results.

Objectives: Neurilemmoma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is very rare. The study aimed to improve the understanding of neurilemmoma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Materials and Methods: The clinical data of 10 patients with neurilemmoma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses treated from January 2014 to June 2019 in our hospital were retrospectively studied. Results: There were 6 females and 4 males patients in our study. The mean age was 49.5 years (range 37-77 years), and the most common clinical symptom was unilateral nasal obstruction. The site of tumor included the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, and sphenoid sinus. There were 2 cases with malignant neurilemmoma. Nine patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS); however, 1 patient underwent FESS combined with the lateral rhinotomy for complete resection of the tumor. Two patients with malignant neurilemmoma received postoperative radiotherapy. The mean follow-up was 3.82 years (range 2-7 years). There were no incidences of tumor recurrence during the study period. Conclusions: Neurilemmoma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is a mainly benign tumor. Complete surgical excision by FESS is the only treatment option for neurilemmoma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses; while malignant neurilemmoma needs postoperative radiotherapy.
