Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare tumors that are mostly found arising from the pleura. SFT of the parotid gland is a rare tumor; only a few cases have been described in the literature. SFTs are benign in most cases. Clinically, SFTs usually manifest as well circumscribed, slow-growing, smooth, and painless masses. CT-Scan and MRI are the most sensitive imaging procedures used. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision of the lesion. Since recurrence and metastasis can take place after several years, a lifelong clinical and imaging regular follow-up is compulsory. In this paper, we describe the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of the up-to-now biggest parotid SFT. The clinical presentation, surgical management, and pathological and immunohistochemistry findings are described.

Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms that were initially described as pleural tumors, but in recent years, numerous extrapleural sites have been reported. A solitary fibrous tumor is characterized as a circumscribed, painless mass with a patternless growth pattern, positive CD34 spindle-shaped cells, bcl-2, and dense keloidal collagen with areas of hypercellularity and hypocellularity. This case report describes a 55-year-old male veteran who presented with a rare manifestation of an extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor of the medial right hallux. Microscopic and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with the previously documented characteristics of solitary fibrous tumors. Complete surgical excision of the tumor is the treatment of choice.

AbstractExtrapleural solitary fibrous tumor-hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor. We present a case of this tumor arising in omentum, which is an extremely rare site. The diagnosis was confirmed by diffuse expression of STAT6 on immunohistochemistry. The tumor was assigned a low-risk category according to recent risk categorization models. The patient was advised close follow-up as the tumor was excised completely. These tumors have the potential for recurrence and metastasis even after surgical excision. However, there are no definitive guidelines for adjuvant treatment due to lack of data.

Abstract OBJECTIVE We describe an intraosseous angiolipoma of the cranium and discuss the outcome. Angiolipomas are benign tumors that consist of mature adipose tissue and abnormal vessels. They occur predominantly in the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk and upper limbs. Only 4 examples of intraosseous angiolipomas have been reported in the literature, all of which involved the mandible and ribs. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 39-year-old man presented with a right parietal swelling. The patient initially refused surgery; thus it was possible to follow this case for 11 years, allowing us to evaluate the natural history of this rare condition. INTERVENTION Complete surgical excision of the intraosseous lesion was achieved with a titanium cranioplasty performed at intervals. Fifteen months after surgery, no recurrence was seen. CONCLUSION This is the first known report of intraosseous angiolipoma of the cranium. Angiolipomas are rare, benign, slow-growing tumors with an excellent prognosis. On preoperative neuroimaging, they may mimic intraosseous angiomas, lipomas, or intraosseous meningiomas. Total resection is curative.

Solitary fibrous tumor are rare and benign, soft tissue growth of any part of the human body including orbit and eyes. This case report describes a middle age female presented with a slow-growing painless mass in the superior orbital sulcus in the left eye. The lesion was surgically excised revealing the microscopic features characteristic of solitary fibrous tumor, with immunohistochemically reactivity for CD34 and STAT6 stains. Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is typically cured with complete surgical excision and CD34 immunohistochemistry proved to be a useful adjunct to the microscopic diagnosis of this type of tumor. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.6.1086 How to cite this:Hayat N, Afzal MM, Dembra V.

Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Papillary endothelial hyperplasia (PEH) is a rare form of exuberant reactive endothelial proliferation that can mimic neoplasm. We report the largest series of patients with histologically confirmed intracranial extravascular PEH developing in the field of previous treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We collected the clinical, radiological, surgical, and pathological findings from 4 patients in whom intracranial extravascular PEH developed after treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery. In all patients, the development of an enlarging hemorrhagic mass lesion at the site of previous radiotherapy on magnetic resonance imaging was radiographically suspicious for neoplasm and prompted biopsy or resection. All 4 patients elected to undergo biopsy or surgical resection. Histological examination of the biopsy and resection specimens in all patients demonstrated the classic features of PEH. CONCLUSION: The interval to the development of PEH ranged from 5 months to 6 years, 10 months. Clinical follow-up was available for 3 of the 4 patients. None of these 3 patients have demonstrated evidence of recurrence during a mean follow-up period of 22 months (range, 15–30 months). These patients share common radiological features, potentially allowing preoperative diagnosis and improved guidance of clinical management. These cases suggest a link between radiosurgery and the development of PEH. These findings also suggest that PEH should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients treated with radiosurgery in whom a hemorrhagic mass lesion subsequently develops at or near the site of previous treatment. We think that complete surgical excision is the best treatment for intracranial PEH.

Introduction. Myoepithelioma primarily affects the parotid gland and usually presents as a slow-growing painless lump. The aim of this paper is to report a case of myoepithelioma in the mouth floor. Case outline. A young man noticed a painless increased volume in the left side of the mouth floor region, which after one year of evolution presented as a sessile tumor with normal colored mucosa and the absence of secretion output. Computed tomography with contrast showed an image with slightly heterogeneous density, with well-defined limits. Incisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia, and pathology examination of the sample revealed a myoepithelial neoplasm. Total excision of the lesion was performed under general anesthesia, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of the salivary gland myoepithelioma. The patient did not present signs of relapse after a year of follow up. Conclusion. Despite the fact that myoepithelioma originating in the salivary gland are considered rare, especially in the mouth floor, this tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of similar lesions. Proper treatment appears to be complete surgical excision and post-operative follow-ups shows should be carried out as long as possible, despite the fact that relapses are extremely rare.

Rule Out

A myopericytoma in the auricle is rare. If an auricle contains a large, firm, red-brown mass, excision should be considered because the mass may be a myopericytoma. After excision, histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnoses are essential to rule out malignancy. Long-term follow-up is required because the tumor is slow-growing.

<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>
