Introduction. Retroperitoneal sarcomas comprise a small proportion of all soft tissue sarcomas, and multiple factors influence their clinical behavior. Histopathological type and grade as well as complete surgical resection especially on the first operative attempt are well recognized as the main prognostic factors. Multifocality is another prognostic factor, which compromises therapy and finally makes prognosis worse due to multiple adverse implications.Case Presentation. A rare case of a 65-year-old male patient suffering from a multifocal retroperitoneal liposarcoma successfully treated in our hospital is presented herein.Discussion. Also, general considerations for these tumors are discussed, and especially multifocality is underlined as an ominous sign of retroperitoneal sarcomas behavior. Despite multifocality, once again complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment of these patients, as long as further systemic and local therapies do not provide durable results.

Background: Retroperitoneal sarcomas are neoplasm that are only 0,3-3% of all solid tumors. Liposarcomas is most freguent soft tissue sarcomas in adults. Symptoms would only be detected if the liposarcoma presses on the surrounding organs. Case presentation:  A 58-year-old woman presented with complaint of progressive abdominal distension, loss of appetite, malaise, constipation and weight loss of about 7 kg. Abdominal CT scanning showed the presence of a retroperitoneal tumor that occupies almost the entire right part of abdominal cavity. 16 months earlier, the patient was operated in another surgical facility due to liposarcom, derived from retroperitoneum (Histopathological finding: Poorly differentiated (G3) liposarcoma pleomorphic cell type). The patient was operated under the diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Conclusions: Treatment of choice is radical surgical procedure including elimination of all the structures and organs involved by the tumour process - RO resection as a basic principle of surgical treatment.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Schwannomas, also called as neurilemomas, are well-encapsulated, slowly growing tumors that arise from schwann cells of peripheral nerves. Clinically, schwannomas present as asymptomatic, slowly enlarging lateral neck masses and so they tend to present late. The nerve of origin is not often made until the time of surgery. Preoperative diagnosis is aided by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. The treatment of choice of schwannomas of the neck typically involves complete surgical resection. Rapidly growing tumors with evidence of invasion, or complete loss of nerve function should trigger complete surgical excision of the tumor. Here, we report a rare case of cervical vagal schwannoma in a 45 year old female who got admitted with the complaint of a firm, painless mass on the left side of the neck. The management of the case is discussed along with the relevant literature.</span></p>

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>

<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>

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.

The term ‘liposarcoma’ refers to a spectrum of neoplastic lesions that can be benign to malignant and likely to recur or metastasize. Liposarcoma is a common soft tissue sarcoma found in adults and occurs mostly in extremities especially thigh followed by retroperitoneum. Here we present a case of spindle cell variant of well differentiated liposarcoma of mesorectum and underwent Anterior resection for the same. The treatment of choice for liposarcomas of retroperitoneum remains debatable and there are no clear-cut guidelines available regarding the same. However, considering the higher rates of local recurrence we advise a complete surgical excision following anatomical principles.

<p class="abstract">Nasolabial cysts are rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue developmental cysts occur in the maxillary lip and nasal alar regions. Patients usually presents with an asymptomatic soft swelling with obliteration of the nasolabial fold. Due to it's origin from entrapped epithelium in an embryonic fusion plane developmentally, this cyst is considered to be a Hamartoma. Hamartomas are non-neoplastic malformations, or inborn errors of tissue development. They are characterized by an abnormal mixture of tissues indigenous to that area of the body. Complete surgical excision is the accepted method of treatment. This report aimed to present a case of nasolabial cyst hamartoma, which is rare in presentation.</p>

Abstract Background Epidermal cysts are common skin tumors that are composed of a keratinocytic cyst wall and central keratin material, which can occur anywhere in the body, especially on the face. However, there are no relevant reports of multiple epidermal cysts coexisting at the same location.Case presentation Here, we report one rare case of facial multiple epidermal cysts, who underwent sequential resection of all cysts. A 45-year-old male presented with facial multiple masses for over 2 years. Physical examination showed multiple cysts with varied sizes on the face. All cysts were smooth, dome-shaped, freely movable, and some of them were attached to the skin by a central pore. The histopathology revealed cysts in the dermis, the wall of which were composed of stratified squamous epithelium, and the cavity were filled with keratin. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed as facial multiple epidermal cysts.Conclusions This is the first well-documented case of multiple epidermal cysts on the face. We report this rare case to highlight that although epidermal cysts usually appear single, they may also appear multiple in the same location, especially in those patients with vigorous sebaceous gland function. Surgical excision is the first-line effective treatment for epidermal cysts.

Abstract Background Nasolabial cysts are rare, non-odontogenic, soft-tissue cysts that develop between the upper lip and nasal vestibule with an overall incidence of 0.7% out of all maxillofacial cysts. The predominant presentation of a nasolabial cyst is a painless localized swelling with varying degrees of nasal obstruction. Several treatment modalities have described in the management of the nasolabial cyst. In this paper, we present a case of a nasolabial cyst in a 44 years old man with discussions of the treatment modalities in the lights of the literature. Case presentation We present a case of a nasolabial cyst in a 44-year-old man that slowly increased in size through a period of 3 years, with associated mild pain and nasal obstruction. It had caused a mass effect upon the maxilla, resulting in scalloping. The cyst was excised entirely with no evidence of recurrence at the two months follow up. Conclusions The nasolabial cyst is a rare soft-tissue cyst. Complete surgical excision using an open approach performed to our case, which considered with the complete endoscopic removal of the best treatment for the nasolabial cysts with a rare recurrence rate.
