The thorax is the rarest place among all forms of renal ectopia. We report a rare case of an unacquired thoracic kidney. Only about 200 cases of the thoracic kidney have ever been reported in medical literature worldwide. In this paper we present the rarest form of nontraumatic nonhernia associated, truly ectopic thoracic kidney. The differential diagnosis and management options and classification of this rare form of aberrant kidney are discussed.

Tumors located in the maxillofacial part of the body were classified by WHO in 2017 and among these are intraosseous form of fibromatosis known as Desmoplastic and Cemento-ossifying fibromas. These tumors usually occur in the head and neck region, especially in the mandible and are relatively rare in the maxilla. Meanwhile, this study aims to discribe a rare case of the cemento ossifying fibroma that had been previously diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma with a mass tumor in the anterior of the maxilla. A 22 years old female reported to the Cipto Mangkusumo Hospital with the main complaint of a lump in the right side of the upper jaw which appeared 2 years prior to the operation. In April 2017, the patient had a biopsy in Tarakan Hospital and the result was a desmoplastic fibroma. Due to the lump enlargement, the patient was admitted to RSCM in July 2019 and had biopsy incision with a diagnosis of cemento ossifying fibroma which was confirmed by the histopathological examination and histology report. The resection of the right part of maxilla was conducted alongside with reconstruction using the free fibular flap. Moreover, cemento ossifying fibroma and desmoplastic fibroma shared similar features, namely, clinical, histological and radiological features which are important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of patient. Hence, extensive enucleation or resection is required due to the progressive nature of the tumor to prevent the potential for further recurrences.

<p class="abstract">Independently arising acrochordon of the external auditory canal is a rare entity with only one reported case in literature. We present here the second such case. A 54-yr old lady presented to our outpatient department with complains of aural fullness and reduced hearing in right ear for 2 weeks. Clinical examination showed a pedunculated polypoidal growth in the external auditory canal. Excisional biopsy and histopathology revealed an acrochordon. Following the procedure, patient was free of symptoms and all structures of the right ear were normal. In the head and neck region, acrochordons have only but once been reported in the external auditory canal and hence should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the masses of this region. Resection must be done for confirmation of diagnosis, differentiation from neoplasia and alleviation of symptoms when associated.  </p>

Collecting Duct Carcinoma

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), is the most common kidney cancer, that accounts for approximately  90% of all adult renal malignancies with 30% of patients presenting with metastasis at initial diagnosis.There are several reports of metastases developing after 10-20 years even if curative nephrectomy has been made. Clear cell (60%-75%), papillary (10%-15%), chromophobe (5%), and collecting duct carcinoma are well characterized subtypes of RCC.Renal cell carcinoma mainly metastasizes to the lungs,the bones,the liver,the lymph nodes and brain.Metastasis to the head and neck region is rare.In this case report we present a tonsil metastasis after 5 years of nephrectomy.Surgery with histopathological examination confirmed that metastasis of clear cell carcinom.The patient was successfully treated by surgery and referred to oncology.Later he was out of our follow-up.

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

Purpose: To report a rare case of eyelid lipoma. Case summary: A 41-year-old female presented with a palpable mass in her left upper eyelid. Diffuse hard mass was palpable at preaponeurotic fat layer of left upper eyelid, and there was no inflammatory sign. Under local anesthesia, a left upper eyelid mass partial excision was performed and a biopsy specimen was collected. The mass was yellower and harder than surrounding normal eyelid fat. A lipoma was diagnosed based on histopathological findings such as proliferation of mature adipocytes. Conclusions: Lipoma is a benign tumor commonly found around trunk and limbs, but rarely occurs at eyelid. Eyelid lipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of diffuse mass at eyelid fat layer. Diagnosis and treatment can be achieved by partial excision and histopathological examination.

We present the case of a 38-year-old woman that presented with a very slowly enlarging mass of the tongue. MRI revealed a large mass originating in the tongue base and extending to the supraglottic space. Biopsy of this tumor confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. An endaural approach allowed complete resection of the tumor. Definitive histopathological examination showed a plexiform schwannoma. Schwannoma or neurilemoma represents a benign tumor potentially affecting any nerve. The head and neck region is a relatively common location for schwannomas, but tongue schwannomas are considered to be rare and pose the problem of both clinical and histological differential diagnosis of tongue masses.

Malignant Lesions

Cases of renal leiomyomas are fewer than 100 in the literature and therefore possess a diagnostic challenge.1 By definition, leiomyomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms.2 that arise from smooth muscle cells.3 The most common sites of origin are the uterus, intestines and skin.4 One of the more unusual types of leiomyomas are the ones arising from the kidneys. They account for about 1.5 % benign lesions of kidneys.5 The methods of detection are through discovery during autopsy, incidental discovery during imaging or by clinical diagnosis in symptomatic lesions.6 Prevalence based on incidental finding at the time of autopsy is 4.2 - 5.2 %.7 Creating a differential diagnosis between leiomyomas and other malignant lesions is only possible by histopathological examination.8 We hereby report a case of 26-year-old female who presented with pain in abdomen and on histopathological examination was diagnosed as a case of renal leiomyoma.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of an organised haematoma arising in the sphenoid sinus.Case report:An 85-year-old woman presented with an expansile soft tissue mass in the left sphenoid sinus, with bony destruction of the sella turcica, which mimicked the extrasellar extension of a pituitary tumour. The tumour was excised using an endoscopic, transsphenoidal approach. Histopathological examination revealed an organised haematoma.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report of an organised haematoma arising in the sphenoid sinus. This case indicates that organised haematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of extensive sphenoid lesions; it also emphasises the importance of correct pre-operative diagnosis for therapeutic planning, as complete surgical resection by an endoscopic approach is curative.
