Rare Benign Tumour

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.

Neuroendocrine Carcinomas

Neuroendocrine tumours occur most frequently in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and pancreas. Primary malignant cardiac tumours are uncommon and are usually sarcomas, lymphomas, or, infrequently, mesotheliomas. Primary cardiac neuroendocrine carcinomas are exceedingly rare; only nine have been reported in the literature to date. We report the tenth case of this disorder in a 44-year-old man with a well-differentiated low-grade primary cardiac neuroendocrine carcinoma treated with surgery who remains in remission more than a year later. Our case and review of the literature demonstrate that surgical treatment for well-differentiated primary cardiac neuroendocrine carcinomas can be effective.

Rare Tumour

Retroperitoneal angiomyolipoma is a rare tumour that is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We present a case of retroperitoneal angiomyolipoma that highlights its diagnostic dilemma. We also performed a literature review and present a review of retroperitoneal angiomyolipoma.

Histopathological Results

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.
