Background. Conventional osteochondromas are common bone lesions developing in the metaphyseal region of growing skeleton. Marginal excision is the treatment of choice for such tumours. Extraosseous cartilaginous tumours are rare and their biological potential is poorly characterized.Case Presentation. A-52-year old woman presented with 3-year history of fullness and dull pain and inability to flex her left knee, sit cross-legged, or squat. Clinical and imaging studies revealed a nodular mineralised mass in the anterior portion of the knee displacing the patellar tendon laterally. Excision biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of extraosseous osteochondroma-like soft tissue mass. There is no recurrence at two-year followup.Conclusion. An integrated clinicopathological diagnosis helps to clarify the nature of extraosseous cartilaginous tumour that can arise at an unusual anatomic site. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

AbstractObjective:We report the second known case of aggressive angiomyxoma of the larynx.Method:Case report and a review of the world literature concerning angiomyxoma of the larynx and recent advances in the immunohistochemical, cytogenic and clinical study of its female pelvic counterpart.Results:Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour originally thought only to occur in the female pelvis and peritoneum, or rarely in the male genital tract. A 47-year-old man presented with a one-month history of dysphonia. He was found to have a supraglottic mass on endoscopic examination, and underwent a laryngofissure approach excision biopsy and covering tracheostomy. Histological analysis showed a characteristic proliferation of spindle cells widely separated by loose, myxoid stroma with a prominent vascular component. Aggressive angiomyxoma was diagnosed.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the second report in the world literature of aggressive angiomyxoma of the larynx. Comparison with the female pelvic counterpart facilitates diagnosis, aided by recent advances, and suggests that complete surgical excision with a wide margin is the treatment of choice.

Ewing’s sarcoma is a primary bone cancer that mainly affects the long bones. This malignancy is particularly common in pediatric patients. Primary cranial involvement accounts for 1% of cases, with occipital involvement considered extremely rare. In this case study, primary occipital Ewing’s sarcoma with a posterior fossa mass and subsequent relapse resulting in spinal seeding is reported. A 3-year-old patient presented with a 1-year history of left-sided headaches, localized over the occipital bone with progressive torticollis. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed a mass in the left posterior fossa compressing the brainstem. The patient then underwent surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemoradiation therapy. Two years later, the patient presented with severe lower back pain and urinary incontinence. Whole-spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding from the L5 to the S4 vertebrae. Primary cranial Ewing’s sarcoma is considered in the differential diagnosis of children with extra-axial posterior fossa mass associated with destructive permeative bone lesions. Although primary cranial Ewing’s sarcoma typically has good prognosis, our patient developed metastasis in the lower spine. Therefore, with CNS Ewing’s sarcoma, screening of the entire neural axis should be taken into consideration for early detection of CSF seeding metastasis in order to decrease the associated morbidity and mortality.

<p class="abstract">Pleomorphic adenoma are common benign salivary gland tumours, which are found in majority in major salivary glands such as parotids and submandibular glands. However, Pleomorphic adenoma to originate from dorsum of the nose is a rare entity. In rare cases, it can be found in unusual sites such as upper aero digestive tracts, palate and lacrimal glands. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Though, the evolution to malignancy and recurrence is not usually encountered, still a long-term follow-up is recommended. Here, we report a 53 year old female , complained of swelling in the left side of dorsum of nose for 10 years with a feeling of heaviness over the left side of face and difficulty in vision on the side of swelling due to the enlarged size of the swelling which gave a feeling of vision disruption , also had a prior history of  incision and drainage 4 years ,done elsewhere. On clinical examination, nodular mass was palpated on left side dorsum of nose which was freely mobile, and Skin over the swelling had blackish pigmentation. Anterior rhinoscopy revealed no abnormalities. Complete surgical excision via a lateral rhinotomy incision was performed. Cytological and histological evaluation revealed the presence of pleomorphic adenoma. We observed a decent cosmetic outcome with no evidence of recurrence.</p>

A 63-year-male had painless, progressive, yellowish-pink, immobile conjunctival mass with prominent feeder vessels in the right eye of 1-year duration. The rest of the ophthalmic examination was unremarkable. MRI showed no extension into orbit or extraocular muscles. An excision biopsy with the amniotic membrane patch was performed. Histopathology confirmed inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) with SMA and calponin positivity on immunohistochemistry. Complete surgical excision, amniotic membrane, and oral steroids provided long-term relief from recurrence. The conjunctiva is a rare site for IMT, and IMT should be kept in the differentials for atypical cases of ocular surface neoplasia.

Case summary A 4-year-old neutered male cat was presented with a 2-month history of intermittent constipation that progressed to obstipation. Primary clinical findings included a large, multi lobulated mass in the caudodorsal abdomen, peripheral eosinophilia and hyperglobulinemia. Abdominal imaging revealed a multilobulated, cavitated mass in the sublumbar region. Exploratory celiotomy revealed multiple firm masses in the sublumbar retroperitoneal space causing ventral displacement and compression of the descending colon with extension of the masses into the pelvic canal. Histopathology was consistent with feline gastrointestinal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia (FGESF). Aerobic culture was positive for Staphylococcus aureus. The cat was treated with prednisolone (2 mg/kg PO q24h), lactulose (0.5 g/kg PO q8h), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (62.5 mg/cat PO q12h for 1 month) and fenbendazole (50 mg/kg PO q24h for 5 days). Six months postoperatively, the cat had no recurrence of clinical signs. Repeat evaluation and imaging at day 732 postoperatively revealed marked improvement of the abdominal mass, resolution of peripheral eosinophilia and no clinical signs with continued prednisolone therapy (0.5 mg/kg PO q24h). Relevance and novel information This is a report of a primary extramural FGESF lesion, and the first description of characteristics of FGESF on CT. Previous evidence suggests that the most favorable outcomes require immunosuppressive therapy and complete surgical excision; however, this case demonstrates a favorable outcome with medical management alone.

Abstract Background Medulloepithelioma is rare intraocular tumor seen predominantly in children, and arising mainly from undifferentiated nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body. Methods We present a typical neglected case of malignant nonteratoid medulloepithelioma of the eye with extensive metastases to the facial soft tissue parotid and cervical lymph nodes. Results An aggressive surgical approach with orbital exenteration and comprehensive disease clearance with total parotidectomy and neck dissection augmented by postoperative radiotherapy was utilized after initial unsuccessful chemotherapy. Conclusions The present case highlights the natural history of untreated medulloepithelioma of the eye. Colossal growth at the primary site with extensive regional lymph node metastases develops without distant metastases. Complete surgical excision supplemented with postoperative radiotherapy should be considered even in the setting of advanced locoregional disease.

Abstract Background: The involvement of falx cerebri in tuberculosis is extremely rare, with only three cases reported so far in the literature. The diagnosis is most often difficult to establish, given the location of the lesion, making surgical intervention necessary for a definite histopathologic diagnosis. Methods: We present the case of a 49-year old female patient who was admitted for a right jacksonian seizure, followed by a right crural monoparesis, without a history of tuberculosis. The lesion mimicked a falx cerebri en plaque meningioma in the imaging tests. Results: A complete surgical excision was performed through a left fronto-parietal parasagittal approach. The histopathological examination revealed a case of cerebral tuberculosis. The surgical treatment was complemented postoperatively with antituberculous therapy. Conclusion: In this article, we emphasize the rarity of the lesion at this level and also presenting similar cases from the literature. Moreover, we also discuss epidemiological, clinical, imaging, therapeutic as well as pathological aspects of en-plaque dural tuberculoma.

Background and Importance: Sacrococcygeal Teratoma (SCT) with medular invasion is rare. Case Presentation: We report a case of an 11-month male infant, with no prenatal history of any abnormality, presenting since birth, a mass in the buttock extended to retrorectum associated with a right side hypotonic limb and monoplegia. Medullar and abdominal pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a sacrococcygeal tissue mass and intradural lumbosacral invasion with a high level of alpha-fetoprotein. Surgical excision was done successfully with an uneventful follow-up. Conclusion: Despite of the intradural invasion, those SCT are in major cases mature and present low risk of malignancy or recurrence.

Filariasis of the breast is a very rare condition. In India, largest number (around 600 million) of people live in endemic areas. Despite the huge number, it is quite rare to find microfilaria in routine smears and body fluids and it is even more rare to find it in breasts. A 40 years old female, presented with a history of lump in the right breast approximately 3x3 cm in size in the right lower quadrant. Findings were confirmed by clinical examination which did not reveal any palpable ipsilateral or contralateral axillary lymph nodes. FNAC showed it as a benign lesion. After local excision, histopathology revealed a filarial worm. Filariasis of the breast is a rare disease. The presence of microfilaria in breasts using FNAC has been reported at times but the presence of the filarial worms can only be confirmed on histopathology, hence a core biopsy or an excision biopsy is a must in all the cases. A presumptive diagnosis of filariasis can be made on sonography if the worms are alive and active, the typical presentation on USG is the filarial dance. Surgical excision of the lump followed by DEC therapy is the treatment of choice for filarial lump of the breast.
