Uncommon Tumor

Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

This case report describes the rare presentation of lung carcinoma as bilateral masses affecting the mandibular gingivae. Although metastatic disease to the mouth is rare, accounting for only 1% of oral malignancies, it is essential to ensure that the presence of cancer is included in any differential diagnosis. CPD/Clinical Relevance: All oral abnormalities persisting for longer than 3 weeks should be referred urgently for specialist assessment and biopsy.

AbstractBackgroundCerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome at high altitude was rare complicated with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) syndrome and septic shock. It is a challenge to differential diagnosis and treatment at high altitude.Case presentationThis case presents a CFE with PSH and septic shock of a 23-year-old man occurred at high altitude of 3800 m above sea level, transferred by airplane successfully and cured in the department of neurosurgery, Xi’an Tangdu Hospital.ConclusionsIt is key that CFE with PSH can be rapid diagnosed and treatment bundles of septic shock should be initiated as soon as possible. Early neurological rehabilitation played an important role for good outcome.

Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy is a rare event. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging because symptoms are nonspecific. We present a case of ovarian torsion 2 years after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Furthermore, we performed a literature review about ovarian torsion after hysterectomy. This case shows that, in cases of acute onset pelvic pain in patients with history of hysterectomy, the adnexal torsion must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, especially in those women who had undergone LH.

Background: Pilomatricoma is a common benign adnexal tumor differentiating toward elements of the hair matrix and shaft. It typically presents as a solitary, deep, dermal nodule. We describe a case of a pilomatricoma with the unusual feature of a thick-walled dermal bulla overlying the tumor. Objective: We describe a case of bullous pilomatricoma and discuss the potential etiology of the bullous feature of the lesion. Methods: This article includes a case report and a literature review. Conclusions: Bullous pilomatricoma has rarely been described. A common pathological feature in this type of pilomatricoma is the presence of dilated lymphatics. Bullous morphea associated with dermal lymphatic dilation has also been described. In both bullous pilomatricoma and morphea, it is possible that individual pathological features of the lesion lead to obstruction and congestion of the dermal lymphatics thereby inducing enough dilation and edema to form a dermal bulla. Antécédents: Le pilomatrixome (épithéliome calcifiant de Malherbe) est une tumeur annexielle bénigne qui ressemble aux éléments de la matrice et de la tige pilaires. Il se manifeste typiquement par un nodule sous-cutané solitaire. Nous rapportons un cas de pilomatrixome présentant la caractéristique inhabituelle d'une bulle dermique à paroi épaisse située au-dessus de la tumeur. Objectifs: Décrire un cas de pilomatrixome bulleux et présenter l'étiologie potentielle d'une telle manifestation. Méthodes: Cet article comporte une étude de cas ainsi qu'une revue de la littérature. Conclusion: Le pilomatrixome bulleux a rarement été décrit. La dilatation des vaisseaux lymphatiques constitue une manifestation pathologique fréquente de cette forme de pilomatrixome. La morphée bulleuse a également été associée à une dilatation de vaisseaux lymphatiques. Il est possible que les caractéristiques pathologiques individuelles des lésions du pilomatrixome bulleux et de la morphée entraînent une obstruction et une congestion des vaisseaux lymphatiques, provoquant ainsi une dilatation et un œdème suffisamment importants pour former une bulle.
