AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of an organised haematoma arising in the sphenoid sinus.Case report:An 85-year-old woman presented with an expansile soft tissue mass in the left sphenoid sinus, with bony destruction of the sella turcica, which mimicked the extrasellar extension of a pituitary tumour. The tumour was excised using an endoscopic, transsphenoidal approach. Histopathological examination revealed an organised haematoma.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report of an organised haematoma arising in the sphenoid sinus. This case indicates that organised haematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of extensive sphenoid lesions; it also emphasises the importance of correct pre-operative diagnosis for therapeutic planning, as complete surgical resection by an endoscopic approach is curative.

Nasopharyngeal Mass

Primary chordoma of the nasopharynx is an extremely rare malignant tumor of notochordal origin in the extra-osseous axial skeleton. It presents as a soft tissue mass without involvement of the skull base bone (clivus) and may mimic other lesions of the nasopharynx. A 26-year-old male patient is presented with nasal obstruction and congestion for the last 3 years. Physical and radiological examination revealed a mass in the naso-oropharyngeal region. It was suspected to be a cystic mass or abscess on radiological imaging. However, histopathological examination revealed a chordoma. We review all 20 cases of primary nasopharyngeal chordoma reported previously in the literature. Nasopharyngeal chordoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal mass due to its unspecific appearance on clinical and radiology examination.

Nevus Lipomatosus Cutaneous Superficialis (NLCS) is an uncommon hamartomatous lesion of the skin. NLCS is classified into two clinical forms classic and solitary. Some authors consider this lesion as a type of connective tissue nevus. We report a rare case of solitary NLCS in a 69 year old male with a long history of pedunculated swelling in the right gluteal cleft with review of literature. On gross appearance the lesion was a grey brown, exophytic, cerebriform, smooth skin covered soft tissue mass measuring 4.5 cms in the largest dimension with a broad peduncle attached. On histopathological examination the lesion showed superficial and deep dermal infiltration of the adipose tissue with distortion of the dermal collagen.

Synovial sarcomas are most commonly localised in extremities, especially in the lower thigh and knee areas. Comprising less than 1% of all malignancies, retroperitoneal synovial sarcoma is very rare with primary synovial sarcoma of the kidney being even more infrequent and difficult to diagnose. We describe a case report of a renal synovial sarcoma in a young adult who was initially managed as a case of Wunderlich’s syndrome secondary to what was believed to be a ruptured renal angiomyolipoma. After biopsy confirmation, the patient was eventually managed with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by a right radical nephrectomy and right hepatectomy. Despite its rarity, synovial sarcoma should be considered as differential diagnosis of a bleeding retroperitoneal soft tissue mass detected in young adults.

Hibernomas, especially located in the mediastinum, are extremely rare benign tumors, which are important to consider in the differential diagnosis of a heterogeneously enhancing mass with areas of fat attenuation on imaging of an often incidentally discovered mass. Other common possibilities in the differential include malignant tumors, such as liposarcoma, hence histopathology is usually required to confirm the diagnosis. Hibernomas often follow the distribution of sites of persistence of brown fat in adults, and intrathoracic locations are unusual. We present a very rare case of a mediastinal hibernoma in a 53-year-old woman. She presented to the emergency department with severe, progressive right neck and shoulder pain with radiation down her arm and was found to have a right apical posterior mediastinal mass on imaging. Initial radiographs of the shoulder showed a soft tissue mass within the apical right hemithorax. Further imaging with CT revealed a well circumscribed, heterogeneously enhancing mass with areas of fat attenuation. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of mediastinal hibernoma, and the mass was completely excised. Fourteen months after surgery, the patient had a normal chest radiograph, and thirty-two months after surgery, she remains asymptomatic.

ABSTRACT Choanal polyp is the term used for benign, solitary soft tissue mass which extend toward the junction of nasal cavity and nasopharynx, i.e. choana. We report a rare case of choanal polyp arising from the middle turbinate and its successful treatment by endoscopic surgery. The complete resection of choanal polyp at the site of origin using an endoscope is usually sufficient and carries good prognosis without recurrence. How to cite this article Gupta M, Singh S.

Introduction. Soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty raises several differential diagnoses not limited to infection, hematoma, wear debris, malignancy, and bursitis. Rice body formation in the hip region is an uncommon process denoting a chronic inflammation. We report here the second case of its kind in the medical literature of a wide symptomatic rice-like body cyst complicating a total hip arthroplasty. Case Presentation. This is the case of an 82-year-old white female, presenting with a warm, red, and inflated groin five years after revision of right total hip arthroplasty. Surgical intervention reveals a large well circumscribed cyst containing well-organized rice-like bodies. This eventuality was never reported in differential diagnosis of hip periprosthetic soft tissue masses before. Conclusion. This case report helps widening the array of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with a slow growing soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty, making rice-like bodies cyst a valid one to consider.

Abstract.Donnellan R, Moodley M. Vulval myxoid liposarcoma.A 26 year old woman presented with a 4-year history of a gradually enlarging fluctuant mass on the left labium majus. Histologic examination following excision revealed myxoid liposarcoma. Following the diagnosis, further surgery was performed to ensure complete resection. Routine excision of draining lymph nodes is not advocated. Although rare, myxoid liposarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a vulval soft tissue mass.

A rare case of an epitheloid haemangioendothelioma presenting as an aggressive soft tissue mass in the wrist of an infant is presented. The management of the lesion presents particular difficulties because of its diffuse involvement of surrounding muscles, tendons and neurovascular bundle and the importance of preserving hand function. The epitheloid haemangioendothelioma rarely occurs extravascularly with less than 15 such cases reported in the literature.
