A 31-year-old man with no predisposing factors and no history of chronic disease presented with a small painless lump over his anterior chest wall. On evaluation, it was found to be undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. He underwent wide local excision of the tumour with clear margins, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. At 6-month follow-up, the patient is clinically and radiologically disease free.

We present the first case of a thoracic ranula which originated from the left submandibular area extending into the subcutaneous tissue planes of the anterior chest wall. The patient had a history of surgery for a previous benign left salivary gland cyst, and presented with an enlarging mass in the anterior chest wall. This was a recurrence of a ranula, with an extension into the anterior thoracic wall. The thoracic ranula was excised, together with ipsilateral sublingual and submandibular glands, via a transcervical approach. No recurrence was detected over a 3-year post-operative follow up.

Malignant mesenchymal tumors of oropharyngeal mucosa are rare. Those with fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation in the skin are called atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and in the soft tissue undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). Here we present a case of an older patient with a history of multiple basal cell carcinomas and recently with a rapidly growing polypoid lesion in the mucosa of posterior oropharyngeal wall with AFX/UPS morphology. The differential diagnosis, histological pitfalls of this poorly characterized mesenchymal lesions, and the challenges associated with treatment are discussed.

(The order of authors on this article was changed on 09/01/2012.)Primary undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the spleen is a rare and highly aggressive neoplasm that usually presents with splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms and frequent distant metastases. We report a case of 77-year old male patient with a past history of dissecting aortic aneurysm that developed acute hemorrhagic shock. Aneurysmal rupture was clinically suspected, but the postmortem examination revealed a 25 mm-sized tumor in an atrophic spleen weighing 65 gram with massive retroperitoneal bleeding. Metastases were found in the right renal hilus, the right adrenal gland and femoral bone marrow. Histology of the tumor showed undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Tumor rupture with fatal bleeding and systemic metastases had occurred despite the small size of the tumor. Tumor size is not a reliable predictor of systemic metastasis or tumor rupture for splenic undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma.

Soft-tissue sarcomas of the genitourinary tract account for only 1-2% of urological malignancies and 2.1% of soft-tissue sarcomas in general. A 69-year-old male complained of a 4 month history of a painless right groin swelling during routine urological review for prostate cancer follow-up. Clinical examination revealed a non-tender, firm right inguinoscrotal mass. There was no discernible cough impulse. Computed tomography of abdomen and pelvis showed a non-obstructed right inguinal hernia. During elective hernia repair a solid mass involving the spermatic cord and extending into the proximal scrotum was seen. The mass was widely resected and a right orchidectomy was performed. Pathology revealed a paratesticular sarcoma. He proceeded to receive adjuvant radiotherapy. Only around 110 cases of leiomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord have been described in the literature. They commonly present as painless swellings in the groin. The majority of diagnoses are made on histology.

Clinical introductionA 24-year-old Filipino man attended the ED with a 1-month history of a discrete swelling over his upper anterior chest wall that was rapidly increasing in size and tenderness. He denied any other symptoms. His medical history was unremarkable.Examination revealed a tender, 7 cm × 6 cm mass over the upper part of the sternum (figure 1). The surface was smooth, it was immobile, non-compressible and the overlying skin was normothermic but mildly erythematous. Cervical lymphadenopathy was present. His vital signs were normal.Figure 1Chest wall mass.QuestionWhat is the most likely diagnosis?LipomaChondrosarcomaLymphomaMycobacterium tuberculosis (TB)

AbstractWe present the case of a 50-year-old man who presented to us with a history of having received radiation therapy for a glomus jugulare tumor. He had been on regular follow-up with serial imaging scans. The MRI done after 4 years of treatment revealed an interval increase in size. Carotid angiogram revealed, in addition to the glomus, multiple lymph nodes of similar pattern of vascularity, well lateral to the carotid sheath, in the ipsilateral neck. He underwent resection of the tumor and a neck dissection. Histopathology confirmed metastatic glomus jugulare in the cervical lymph nodes. He received adjuvant radiotherapy and is doing well.

Rare Diagnosis

Primary chondroid tumors of the larynx represent less than 1% of all laryngeal tumors. Most of them are chondromas and they often involve to the cricoid cartilage. A 31-year-old male patient applied to the oto-laryngology service with a history of dysphonia and dyspnea. Microlaryngoscopy revealed 2 cm sized, ill-defined, covered with regular mucosa, porous, and hard mass on posterior surface of crycoid cartilage in subglottic area. Following the excision of the lesion, histopathologic examination revealed as chondroma. Two years later, local recurrence was detected and the diagnosis was again chondroma. There was no complaint of the patient in last 3 and half years of follow-up. Chondroma should carefully be differentiated from chondrosarcoma and the patients should be followed for possible recurrences.
