This case report describes the case of a 37-year-old man that noticed an intrascrotal right mass with 1 month of evolution. During physical exam presented with a large mass at the inferior portion of the right testicle, clearly separated from the testicle, with a tender consistency and mobile. An ultrasound was performed that showed a solid and subcutaneous nodular lesion, extra testicular, heterogeneous, measuring 7.2 cm. Pelvic magnetic resonance imageMRI showed a lesion compatible with a lipoma. The patient was subjected to surgical excision of the lesion by scrotal access, having histology revealed a lipoblastoma (LB) of the scrotum. Histological diagnosis was obtained by microscopic characteristics (well-circumscribed fatty neoplasm) and immunohistochemistry (stains for CD34, S100 protein and PLAG1 were positive; stains for MDM2 and CDK4 were negative). LB is extremely rare after adolescence in any location, being this first described case of intrascrotal LB described in adulthood.

Abstract Background Sinonasal melanoma is a rare head and neck tumour. It is associated with a poor prognosis, high rates of loco-regional recurrence and distant metastasis. Treatment of the disease is therefore complicated, and because of limited data regarding the cancer, management is frequently tailored to the individual patient. We describe an unusual presentation of sinonasal melanoma with relevant histology, radiology and clinical photography. Case presentation The case report describes the presentation of a 64-year-old man to the Ear, Nose and Throat department with progressive right-sided hearing loss. A thorough history highlighted other clinical symptoms including unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Clinical examination showed a right middle ear effusion with a polypoidal lesion in the right nasal cavity. Relevant imaging demonstrated a destructive process that required further assessment. An endoscopic sinus procedure was performed to obtain histological diagnosis as well as providing symptomatic relief. Histology confirmed malignant mucosal melanoma. The patient underwent maxillectomy and orbital exenteration (due to further progression of disease) at a tertiary centre with a plan for subsequent immunotherapy. This however has been delayed due to further surgery to excise a metastatic lesion to the right femur. Conclusions This case report highlights the importance of a thorough clinical history and examination. An unusual presentation of a sinonasal tumour can easily be missed leading to a significant delay in treatment. The case report also describes the use of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in order to obtain histological diagnosis and to debulk the tumour, providing symptomatic relief. The current literature regarding management will be discussed as well as current developments guiding future treatment.

AbstractThe present study is a case report of vulvar lipoma. The vulva is a rare site for the development of lipomas, and the aim of the study is to determine if the current imaging modalities can diagnose lipomas correctly. A 43-year-old patient presented with a painless, slowly progressive, oval, mobile and non-tender right vulvar mass compressing the vagina and totally covering the introitus. Both the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams suggested the diagnosis of lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathological examination of the mass confirmed a lipoma.

Background: Pure epidural spinal cavernous hemangiomas (SCH) account for only 4% of all spinal epidural lesions. Our literature review identified 61 publications reporting on, a total of 175 cases in the magnetic resonance imaging era. Here, we reviewed those cases, and have added our case of what appeared to be a multifocal SCH. Case Description: A 72-year-old male presented with a progressive paraparesis attributed to a T5/T6 dorsolateral extradural mass extending into the right T5/6 foramen. Surgical excision documented the lesion, histologically, was a SCH. A second similar lesion was noted involving the left C7/T1 foramen; as the patient was asymptomatic from this lesion, and no additional biopsy was performed. The patient returned to normal neurological function within 2 months postoperatively. Conclusions: Here, a 72-year-old male presented with a pathologically confirmed T5/T6 epidural SCH and a secondary C7/T1 foraminal lesion suspected to represent a secondary focus of an epidural SCH.

Abstract A report of true aneurysms is extremely rare. There are only five previous case reports of true aneurysm of the facial artery. In the previously reported cases, there was no case that underwent trapping and surgical excision. In this case report, we describe the procedure of internal trapping before the surgical excision of a huge true aneurysm of the right facial artery for a 79-year-old woman. There was no recurrence of the aneurysm during a 6-month follow-up period.

Intramuscular hemangiomas can be an infrequent but important cause of musculoskeletal pain. This report describes a 25-year-old male who presented with pain in the right forearm and contracture of the right hand for 4 years. Physical examination revealed severe tenderness of the midforearm with contracture of the flexor tendons in the index, middle, ring, and little fingers. Conventional radiography of the forearm revealed a soft tissue phlebolith. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined lobulated mass partially involving the FDP tendon. An intramuscular hemangioma within the deep anterior compartment of the forearm was suspected. Following surgical excision of the hemangioma, the patient’s symptoms resolved completely. In conclusion, intramuscular hemangioma can be a rare cause of flexion contracture of the hands and should be considered as a cause of a flexion contracture that fails to respond to conservative treatment.

Background and Objectives: Vallecular cysts are rare and generally asymptomatic. In infants and children they present with stridor, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive. Treatment is surgical excision with cautery or laser.Presentation of Case: We discuss the clinical, radiological presentation of a 7 months old child with vallecular cyst which was surgically treated with deroofing and marsupialisation with elecrocautery. There was no recurrence even up 2 years of follow-up.Discussion: Flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopic examination was done which showed present of swelling in the left vallecula pushing the epiglottis posteriorly and to the right with narrowed normal endolarynx. Radiological investigations with CT scan showed cystic lesion noted in left side of neck with no septation and solid component. The lesion was extending to ipsilateral vallecula and paraglottic region with narrowing of endolarynx.Conclusion: Vallecular cyst is rare cause of noisy breathing in infants and children. In adults it is usually asymptomatic. Treatment of choice is marsupialization with electrocautery or laser.

Abstract Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare, aggressive malignant odontogenic tumor. AFS is seen most frequently in second and third decades of life. We are reporting a case of a low grade AFS in a 21-year-old male complaining of a painless swelling in the right side of the maxilla. The patient was treated with surgical excision followed by radiotherapy, which is considered the most effective approach for most of soft tissue sarcomas. AFS has a high-reported recurrence rate (up to 37%); therefore, long-term surveillance for recurrence is crucial.

ABSTRACT Aim To report on a patient with Eagle's syndrome with a complete and very large ossification of the stylohyoid complex on the right side that to our best knowledge has never been published previously. Background Eagle's syndrome is characterized by a set of symptoms that are caused by the irritation of the neurovascular and soft-tissues caused by an elongated styloid process or ossification of stylohyoid ligament. Case description Because of the high discomfort and pain degree as well as limitations of mandibular and head mobility and also the thickness of the ossified stylohyoid chain, the patient was treated surgically by removing the hypertrophic segment. Conclusion These symptoms subsided completely after the surgical excision of the anomaly. The elongated styloid process on the left side was symptom free. Clinical significance Eagle's syndrome symptoms are not specific and can mimic those of other disorders, the syndrome must be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with pain in the orofacial, pharyngeal and cervical area.

In 2018, a 59-year-old female patient presented with hoarseness in her voice, headache, intermittent pain in her right side, difficulty of right arm movement, left side neck pain, difficulty controlling hypertension of unknown etiology, and a large mass on the upper left side of her neck with a smaller mass on the right side. MRI of the neck revealed masses at each carotid bifurcation. These were determined to be bilateral paragangliomas. Paragangliomas are rare tumors, and bilateral ones tremendously so. The patient underwent radiation over 2 years, resulting in the successful shrinking and stabilization of both masses. Since completing radiation, the patient reported improvement in her memory, and her blood pressure has stabilized with medication.

Chondromais considered a nonmalignant tumor that composed of mature hyaline cartilage and commonly occur in hands and feet. Overall incidents show that females are predominant comparing to males with evenly distributed range of ages. Multiple chondromas have to be differentiated from osteochondroma and chondrosarcoma. This paper reports three different types of lesions in one patient.Osteochondroma or exostosis is the most common benign tumor of the skeleton. It is a developmental osseous anomaly, which arises from exophytic outgrowth on bone surfaces characteristically. Osteochondroma account for about 12% of bone tumors. Here, we have described a 22 years old female patient with left knee joint pain and swelling of the left distal femur with limited movements. The incisional biopsy of the left distal femur identified low-grade chondrosarcoma and chondroma after histopathology. This underwent one-stage surgical excision of the tumor with a posterior approach and tumor resection from the femur. After surgery, an unusual pain appears in the right hip joint during the post-operative period.Machine resonance imaging (MRI), and X-ray of pelvis help to diagnose thewell-differentiated chondrosarcoma and chondroma. This was a case of osteochondroma in the right proximal femur, chondroma like lesion in the left proximal femur and chondrosarcoma in the left distal femur. Ethical consideration: Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. Conflict of interest: There is no conflict of interest.
