AbstractObjective:To raise awareness of nasal malignant melanoma, a rare tumour, and to highlight the difficulty associated with its optimum management.Method:Case report and literature review.Case report:A 71-year-old, Caucasian man was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in the right nasal cavity, after presenting with right-sided epistaxis. He underwent endoscopic medial maxillectomy; histological analysis confirmed that the resection margins were clear. However, within six months he re-presented with a metastatic deposit of malignant melanoma in his right external auditory canal, for which he underwent right temporal bone resection. There was no evidence of distant metastasis on radiological studies. Unfortunately, within a month the tumour recurred in the right nasopharynx. A multidisciplinary team decision was made to offer the patient palliative chemoradiotherapy.Conclusion:Mucosal malignant melanoma of the nose is very rare, and aural metastasis from this primary site has not previously been reported. Optimum management must involve a multidisciplinary team.

Clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCC) is a rare subtype of chondrosarcoma with a relatively low malignant potential, mainly diagnosed by its characteristic location in the epiphysis of long bones. We report the case of a 33-year-old gentleman who presented with pain, difficulty in walking and restricted range of motion of the right hip joint, with a lesion located in the proximal femoral metaphysis and completely sparing the epiphysis. Needle biopsy was consistent with CCC, which was extremely unusual considering the location of the tumour. The patient was treated by “en bloc” resection of the tumour along with femoral head and reconstruction with hemiarthroplasty. The final histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis with clear surgical margins. The aim of this case report and literature review was to highlight the unusual location of this rare tumour, as such an isolated case of CCC completely sparing the epiphysis has never been reported.

Introduction Primary renal lymphoma is a rare malignant lymphoma that is difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography and image-guided percutaneous biopsy are valuable tools for diagnosis. Case report A 64-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of repeated right waist pain and a 1-month history of nausea, vomiting, and frequent and urgent urination. A computed tomography scan showed a huge mass that was initially considered to be renal cell carcinoma at the upper pole of the right kidney. The mass had invaded the renal pelvis, narrowed the right renal artery, and constricted the inferior vena cava and liver. Postoperative examination of the tumor confirmed lymphoma. We herein present this case and its multidisciplinary team management. Conclusion Multidisciplinary team management is efficient for preoperative assessment and surgery in difficult and high-risk cases. Based on our literature review, we suggest biopsy before chemotherapy whenever possible. Chemotherapy can be implemented after surgery for better survival outcomes.

A 68-year-old female was operated for a giant dedifferentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLS) encasing entirely the right kidney. She had an en-bloc resection of the tumor with right nephrectomy. The en-bloc resection should avoid R1 resection margins. Renal conservation is suggested if the kidney is widely displaced and for elderly patient.
