Ceruminomas are rare tumours arising from the apocrine sweat glands of the ear canal. We present a case of a malignant ceruminoma, which was managed with local surgical excision only rather than the wider clearance more commonly undertaken with these invasive neoplasms. We present the clinical case, histological analysis, and clinical progression for this patient and review the literature on this uncommon pathology.

Primary chordoma of the paranasal sinuses are extremely rare tumours, with only a small number of cases verified and published in the literature. It appears that only five of these cases involved the ethmoid sinuses either as a primary or by local invasion, and of these documented cases only one other has been found to solely involve the ethmoid sinus. We present a case of primary ethmoid sinus chordoma treated by wide local surgical excision and present a review of the literature with regard to prevalence and treatment rationale.

Eccrine Sweat Glands

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is an uncommon malignant tumor derived from the eccrine sweat glands. We present a case of EPC on the lateral nose wall, in which the tumor was excised, and the resultant defect was reconstructed using a nasolabial flap. A 66-year-old female was referred to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery to receive treatment for a cutaneous tumor on her right lateral nose wall, which had been growing rapidly for 3 months. Histological analysis of a biopsy specimen of the tumor suggested that it was a squamous cell carcinoma. Surgical excision was performed with a 3-mm margin. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as an EPC. EPC exhibits various pathological features; therefore, it is often confused with other malignant cutaneous tumors. We consider that histologically examining surgical specimens obtained via total resection, rather than incisional biopsy specimens, is important for correctly diagnosing EPC.

Local Surgical Excision

Mucoceles are benign pseudocystic lesions, whose main etiological factors are trauma and ductal obstruction, with the rupture of a duct in the salivary gland and leakage of mucin into the adjacent soft tissues. They are characterized by being asymptomatic and often present spontaneous rupture. Histologically, they are made up of a cystic wall devoid of epithelium, outlined by granulation tissue and inflammatory cells. Mucoceles usually present as dome-shaped mucous swellings, which can vary in size from 1 to 2 mm to a few centimeters, characterized as a floating lesion, although some may be firm on palpation. The evolution time reported for this lesion varies from a few days to several years, and the most common site of involvement for this phenomenon is the lower lip. Some mucoceles are self-limiting, with spontaneous rupture and scarring, however, many of these lesions are chronic in nature, and local surgical excision may be necessary. The aim of this study was report a clinical case of mucocele on the lower lip. The surgical removal of the mucocele proved  to be an effective and safe technique in the case in question, enabling the histopathological diagnosis of the lesion.

AbstractMerkel Cell Carcinoma is a rare type of aggressive and often fatal neuroendocrine tumor of the skin.We report a clinical case of a 56-year-old female with a Merkel cell carcinoma on the left hand, without distant metastasis, treated with surgical excision of the lesion and radiotherapy.Based on this clinical case a research and review of the literature on this rare neoplasia was carried out.

We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who presented with a large perineal mass with no rectal or vaginal involvement. Imaging could not rule out malignancy. She underwent wide surgical excision. Histological analysis revealed a large atypical leiomyoma, measuring 24 × 12 × 8 cm. Followup after two years showed no recurrence and she has been asymptomatic since surgery. This is the largest perineal leiomyoma reported so far.

Local Surgical Excision

Verruciform xanthoma is a specific but not so common, papillary growth typically occurring on the oral mucosa of middle-aged persons. It is a unique entity and has found to be incident in 0.025-0.05% of all cases reported as per the literature study. One such case of 75 days duration was successfully managed with complete local surgical excision. The surgical site was monitored for one year postoperatively with no signs of recurrence or other postoperative complications. Clinical perspective, histopathological highlights and differential interpretation is discussed in this article with an in-depth review of the literature. It is important to consider this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of lesions involving oral mucosa as its clinical and histological features overlap with several other lesions.

Carcinosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, melanoma and carcinoid as primary tumors in the ovary are extremely rare. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature from 2010 to 2021, based on specific criteria, to analyze the treatment of these rare ovarian neoplasms. We also aimed to verify whether modern therapies have been found in recent years. For this article, 80 papers were finally selected. The vast majority of the articles were clinical case reports. Despite single mentions of new potential pharmacological treatments, surgery (radical or fertility-sparing) is definitely the mainstay of treatment. There are currently no treatment guidelines for these tumors. A review of the literature has revealed the use of various adjuvant treatments. We, therefore, believe that a more detailed understanding of the biology of these tumors is necessary in order to find new target points for treatment. We would like to emphasize the importance of creating an international database of rare ovarian tumors which would make it possible to gather data from various oncological centers and enable further research into these neoplasms.

Leydig Cell Tumours

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours of the ovary (SLCT) are rare tumours predominantly caused by mutations in the DICER1 gene. We present a patient with a unilateral SLCT who had an underlying germline DICER1 gene mutation. We discuss the underlying pathology, risks, and screening opportunities available to those with a mutation in this gene as SLCT is only one of a multitude of other tumours encompassing DICER1 syndrome. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. As such, genetic counselling is a key component of the management of women with SLCT.

Rare Tumours

Intracranial or spinal gangliogliomas of the CNS are rare tumours. Although several cases have been reported over the years, controversy still remains as to their origin, treatment and prognosis. A case of an eight-year-old girl with a ganglioglioma in the cerebellum with extension into the cerebello-pontine angle is described. The histological basis of the diagnosis is discussed and a review of the literature is presented.
