A lipoma is a benign tumor, where the parenchyma is composed of adipose tissue. Lipomas comprise 0.1%–5% of all benign tumors in the oral cavity. A 43-year-old man, with a known masticatory disorder, visited the Department of Oral Surgery at our hospital because of a facial swelling. The swelling, which had worsened over 15 years, was not painful, but the patient had discomfort while eating and talking. A detailed examination revealed a smooth, elastic, soft, circular, and yellowish pink pedunculated tumor-like lesion, with a diameter of approximately 40 mm, on the right buccal mucosa. An oval-shaped neoplastic lesion with a well-defined border of 40   mm × 20   mm was noted on MRI. Based on these results, the lesion was characterized as being a benign lipoma. The tumor was resected under local anesthesia. The pedunculated tumor was excised with an electric knife, and the wound was sutured. No trismus or paresthesia was noted on the postoperative follow-up.

Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is an uncommon mesothelial tumor. The lesions may be single or multiple and usually behave in a benign or indolent fashion, sometimes persisting for many years. In the present case, a 37-year-old woman had experienced primary infertility for 12 years, and a diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Approximately 200 mL of dark red, free fluid in the pelvis and more than 10 yellow-white nodules on the surface of the right round ligament, sacrum ligament, right fallopian tube, and both sides of the uterus were found. A lesionectomy was performed and immunohistochemical markers indicated WDPM with adenomatoid tumor. The patient was monitored by computed tomography and serum CA125 (cancer antigen 125) levels for 49 months with no recurrence. WDPM and adenomatoid tumor are both benign tumors of mesothelial origin. Because of the lack of effective radical treatment, regular follow-up is sufficient. However, the effects of estrogen and progesterone on WDPM and adenomatoid tumors during ovulation or pregnancy remains unclear. Although WDPM is not life threatening, a strategy to fulfill the fertility requirements of women with this condition is a new challenge for infertility doctors.

Introduction. Myxoma is the most common primary benign heart tumor. The most frequent location is the left atrium, the chamber of the heart that receives oxygen- rich blood from the lungs. Myxomas usually develop in women, typically between the ages of 40 and 60. Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they are asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic for a long period of time. Symptoms usually go along with body position, and are related to compression of the heart cavities, embolization and the appearance of general symptoms. The diagnosis of benign tumors of the heart is based on anamnesis, clinical features and findings of the tumor masses by use of non-invasive and invasive imaging methods. Extensive surgical resection of the myxoma is curative with minimal mortality. Long term clinical and echocardiographic follow-up is mandatory. Case report. We reported a case of a 62-year-old male, presented with 15 days of intermittent shortness of breath, dizziness and feeling of heart palpitations and subsequently diagnosed with right atrial myxoma based on transthoracic echocardiography . The patient was emergently operated in our hospital. Long-term followup did not reveal recurrence. Conclusion. Our case was an atypical localisation of right atrial myxoma. Whether the intracardiac mass is benign or malignant, early surgery is obligatory in order to prevent complications.

Abstract Background: Parotid neoplasm is a result of inadequate surgical incision during the treatment of head and neck cancers, and most of them are benign tumors. Hence, to explore a new surgical incision for parotid benign tumor in order to minimize the scar size on the premise of guaranteeing the safety of operation.Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 48 patients who had undergone parotid surgeries from Jan. 01 2008 to Dec. 30 2014 at the department of otolaryngology, Jinshan Hospital of Fudan University. Histopathological examination confirmed benign parotid tumor (Warthin's tumor, pleomorphic adenoma, cysts, and monomorphic adenomas.) in all cases. All patients underwent a mini incision (cutting the skin directly on the surface of the tumor, and the incision was slightly longer than the diameter of the tumor). Results: Among the 48 cases, no recurrence and facial nerve injury were reported during the follow-up period of more than 4 years. Two cases of saliva fistula and one case of temporary facial nerve dysfunction were reported; however, they recovered quickly after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion: Extracapsular dissection is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of parotid benign tumor, and the postoperative scar is very small.

Abstract Background: Schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of peripheral nerves arising from Schwann cells of the ubiquitous nerve sheath. Objective: To describe the operative steps and technical aspects of robotic laparoscopic resection of pelvic schwannoma. Methods: We describe 2 patients with pelvic schwannoma: a 34-year-old woman with schwannoma of the right lumbosacral trunk and a 58-year-old woman with schwannoma of a left S1 nerve. Pain was the main symptom in both patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and nerve biopsies. Both patients were operated on by robotic laparoscopy. Results: Lesions were totally enucleated after incising the epineurium. After dissection of the schwannoma, the vascular pedicle and nerve fascicles involved were identified, coagulated, and then sectioned. The remaining fascicles of the nerve were preserved. The postoperative course was uneventful in both patients. With follow-up of 9 and 13 months, both patients obtained complete pain relief with no neurological sequelae. Conclusion: Robotic laparoscopic resection of pelvic nerve tumors such as schwannomas is technically feasible.

AbstractSkull base osteomas (SBOs) are benign tumors that are frequently detected on radiographic images by coincidence. They are known for being slow-growing tumors and rarely symptomatic. The therapeutic approach for SBOs can differ substantially. Depending on the symptoms, size, and location of the tumor, this can range from serial observation to vigorous surgical extirpation. Clival osteoma is extremely rare. We report a case of clival osteoma, causing intractable trigeminal neuralgia due to the pressure effect on the trigeminal nerve at Meckel's cave. We also provide a review of pertinent literature. A 37-year-old woman presented with intractable trigeminal neuralgia. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a large, lobulated, extra-axial lesion involving the right cerebellopontine angle and epicentering the clivus. Pathologically, the specimen was proven to be osteoma. The patient reported complete symptom resolution over a 4-year follow-up period. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first clinical case of intractable trigeminal neuralgia due to clival osteoma.

Background: Cardiac fibromas are rare benign tumors of the heart composed of fibroblasts and collagen. They are common among children and adolescents but are rarely present in adults. Case presentation: We here report the case of a fifty-seven-year-old man who complaining of a 2-year history of chest tightness at rest. Transthoracic echocardiography detected a severe calcified mass protruding outside the right ventricular anterior wall near the apex. The patient was referred for tumor resection. The calcified mass was determined to be a cardiac fibroma with postoperative histopathological examination. The patient experienced an unremarkable post-operative recovery and was discharged 8 days later. Subsequent follow-up has shown complete freedom from his troublesome symptom. Conclusions: Preoperative diagnosis with various imaging modalities and early surgery are the keys to improve prognosis of patients with cardiac fibromas.

A 20-months-old male child was brought to the Eye clinic with swelling of right upper eyelid, discharge sticking the eyelids in the right eye and redness in both eyes of three days duration. On detailed examination of anterior segment and fundus, the diagnosis of bilateral retinoblastoma with conjunctivitis was made. The conjunctivitis was cured with ciprofloxacin eye drops and eye ointment. CT scan of orbits and brain confirmed the diagnosis of retinoblastoma with calcification in both eyes. Optic nerve on both sides was normal and there was no metastasis in the brain. Since it was a bilateral case of retinoblastoma, chemoreduction followed by enucleation in the right eye, and salvaging the left eye with chemotherapy in order to save the vision was planned. Intravenous triple drug chemotherapy with carboplatin, etoposide and vincristine (six cycles) was started by pediatric oncologist in pediatric ward. After two weeks of completing the first cycle of treatment, enucleation of right eye was done. Postoperative period was uneventful. The chemotherapy was continued. The child developed marked swelling of left upper eyelid few days before the sixth cycle of chemotherapy. Examination of left eye showed signs of aseptic orbital cellulitis which was treated with oral prednisolone and topical eye drops of combination of gentamycin and dexamethasone. The inflammatory signs subsided completely in ten days time. The sixth cycle of chemotherapy was completed. On the follow up visit two weeks after discharge, the left eye ball was normal. In the first follow up, the child could pick up the toys thrown in front of him. Unfortunately the child defaulted follow up. Retinoblastoma should be excluded in all young children with orbital cellulitis because misdiagnosis is life threatening.

Vulva tumors are generally a rare disease encountered in gynecological clinical practice, especially at a young age. Vulvar tumors, more common in the labia major and rarely in the labia minor, clitoris, vestibulum, and posterior comicura. The most common vulvar benign tumors are fibroma, papilloma, lipoma, angioma, and others. A 39-year-old woman, at RSCM Urogynecology Jakarta clinic with chief complain mass or swelling in right labia minor. Size of mass increases in period of one year. Mass began to grow at 8 months of pregnancy. By 2014, patients have same mass in the right and left labia minor, and tumor excision has been performed. Conclusions of the specimens sent for pathological assessment are fibroepithelial papillomas. Gynecological and palpation examinations show 2 solid papilloma masses, in right labia minor, 8x4x2 cm and 3x2x2cm, painless, and firmly defined. In mons pubis area, skin looks coarse, thickened, hyperkeratotic. Speculum examination showed no abnormality. Patient diagnosed as a recurrent minor armored labia tumor. On December 5, 2017 an excision and reconstruction operation was conducted. Obtained pathological exam on December 20, 2017 with results stromal fibroepithelial polyps. Among all tumors in the vulva, tumors in labia minor appear less frequently. Biopsy should be performed for histologic examination to exclude malignant allegations. Furthermore, because of the location and size of the tumor, it can cause severe interference symptoms in the patient and therefore early diagnosis and treatment is essential.

Leiomyomas are rare benign tumors that grow in the tunica media of smooth muscle cells. Leiomyomas occur most frequently in the uterus or gastrointestinal tract and only very rarely in the area of the cheek. This study reports on a rare case of a leiomyoma in the cheek of a 43-year-old woman, who presented with a well-circumscribed, asymptomatic, mobile swelling in the right cheek. This swelling was slightly purplish in color and measured approximately 4 cm×3 cm. Surgical excision was the treatment of choice, and the diagnosis was based on histopathological and immunohistochemical stains, which were positive for actin and desmin and negative for AE1/AE3, CD34, and S100. The patient’s follow-up, two years later, showed no recurrence, and she has been asymptomatic since the surgery.

Over a period of 18 years, 39 cases of cardiac tumors were operated upon in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh. These included 34 (87%) patients with benign tumors and 5 (13%) patients with primary malignant tumors. All the benign tumors were myxomas, of which 31 (91.2%) were in the left atrium and 3 (8.8%) in right atrium. Primary malignant tumors comprised 2 rhabdomyosarcomas, 1 angiosarcoma, 1 lymphoma and 1 case of pleomorphic malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was established by echocardiography, angiocardiography and computed tomography. In one case the diagnosis was made at autopsy. All myxomas, except tricuspid valve myxoma, were removed completely through right atrial or biatrial approach with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. Four cases of primary malignant tumors were non-resectable. Near total resection of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising from the right middle pulmonary vein and left atrial junction was achieved. There were 2 operative deaths (5.1 %). The follow-up ranged from 3 months to 10 years with a mean of 5.7 years. There was 1 recurrence (2.9%) in the benign group. In the malignant group, 3 cases (60%) died within 5 to 8 months of surgery due to further local and metastatic spread of the tumor. The case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma was treated with postoperative radiotherapy to the right mediastinum and is doing well at follow-up 3 months after surgery.
