Rare Benign Tumor

Adrenal lipoma is a rare, benign tumor, reported to account for 0.7% of primary adrenal tumors. A 69-year-old man presented with left lateral abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) was performed, and a huge, irregularly shaped retroperitoneal tumor of uneven internal density was identified, with the border between the tumor and the pancreas and kidney being unclear. Active hemorrhage was also depicted. The tumor consisted mainly of fat, with the exception of the hematoma; it measured 200 mm; and the boundary between it and nearby organs, such as the pancreas, was unclear. Despite angiography being performed twice, the responsible vessel was not identified. Thus, for the purpose of both diagnosis and treatment, we resected the tumor, and considering the possibility of a malignancy, such as liposarcoma, we also resected the pancreatic body and tail and the spleen. The final histopathologic diagnosis was benign adrenal lipoma with hemorrhage, with no invasion to surrounding tissue. Hemorrhage within an adrenal tumor is rare. Most adrenal lipomas are small “incidentalomas” and asymptomatic. With development of a large adrenal lipoma comes the possibility of hemorrhage along with the possibility of features suggestive of malignancy. We encountered a giant adrenal lipoma with hemorrhage and, because of the aforementioned features, performed extended surgical resection, seen in retrospect as oversurgery. The widespread use of CT has led to an increased number of reported cases of adrenal lipoma. We anticipate an accumulation of case reports, which will allow for development of an appropriate treatment algorithm.

Objectives: Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that is seldom localized to the head and neck. Rarer still are cases of functional ganglioneuroma with catecholamine production. We report an unusual case of a large parapharyngeal space ganglioneuroma in a patient with neurofibromatosis that caused an intraoperative hypertensive crisis in the absence of a neuroblastomatous component — Hitherto an undocumented complication. Methods: We present a case of functional parapharyngeal ganglioneuroma and review the clinicopathologic and biochemical features of these rare tumors. Results: Fewer than 40 anecdotal cases of parapharyngeal ganglioneuromas have been reported, and there is a lack of ade quate literature on the biology and appropriate treatment approach of these tumors. Conclusions: Our case illustrates the importance of vigilant preoperative precautions in the management of neurogenic tumors, particularly ganglioneuromas. These usually nonfunctional tumors can result in sudden intraoperative and postoperative hypertensive crises even in the absence of any preoperative autonomic symptoms.

Extraskeletal chondroma (also known as ”Chondroma of soft parts”) is a cutaneous condition, a rare benign tumor of mature cartilage usually occurs in the hands, feet, head and neck. This tumor regularly presents as a small solitary nodule. The histogenesis of the cancer is controversial, but some have suggested a metaplastic origin. Chondroma of the fallopian tube is very rare. There are only three case reports in English literature. The source of this tumor can be subcoelomic mesenchyme of the tubal serosa or mesenchyme of the mesosalpinx. We describe a case of chondroma arising from the serosal surface of the fallopian tube with a review of the literature. A 30-yr-old woman with term pregnancy visited the hospital for cesarean section and tubal ligation. On operating findings, 1 1.5 cm sized nodular mass was noted in the left tubal serosal area. The excised mass showed a multilobulated appearance covered with a thin fibrous membrane. The cut surface was solid, grayish-yellow, and myxoid with a focal gelatinous area. The microscopic finding showed islands and elongated lobules of mature benign cartilage.

Size And Morphology

Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma (GMC) is an extremely rare, benign tumor seen in both adult and pediatric males. The neoplasm originates from prostatic tissue and is typically found within the rectovesical pouch, varying in both size and morphology. Microscopically, GMC contains both glandular and cystic prostatic tissue lined by cuboidal and columnar epithelium. Symptoms often arise once the pelvic mass begins to obstruct the surrounding structures and organs, although invasion into surrounding tissue is unlikely. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, urinary retention, and dysuria. The standard treatment for GMC is surgical removal of the mass with good outcomes and only 1 known case of recurrence. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old male with GMC—the youngest patient reported to date—who presented with abdominal pain, difficulty voiding, and hydroureteronephrosis.

Hibernoma is a rare benign tumor that becomes from the vestiges of fetal brown adipose tissue. It can be located on different regions of the body, being tight the most frequent. Retroperitoneal region is approximately of 9.4%. The first person to describe this histological type was Merkel. To the present, there are only described 25 cases on this location. It has a slowly growth, so it is normally asymptomatic, and it usually presents doing compression of different structures. To diagnose the MRI is the best prove, although biopsy will provide definite diagnosis describing four possible variants. Immunochemistry of MDM2, CDK4 and p16 genes is really important to do the differential diagnosis with well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLS). Only one extensive review of hibernoma with 170 cases on different regions is published. But there is no review on literature specifically of retroperitoneal region, so this is the purpose of the current study. Following we present three more cases of retroperitoneal hibernoma that we have treat on our Mesenchymal Tumours Unit and a revision of the previously published.

Osteoblastoma is a rare benign tumor of the calvarium. We present the case of a 20-year-old female with occipital osteoblastoma and discussion of imaging modalities of calvarial osteoblastoma. To our knowledge, this is the ninth reported case of occipital osteoblastoma. Imaging characterization of osteoblastoma may vary. Plain radiograph, CT, MRI, and CT angiography establish osteoblastoma characterization and vascular supply prior to surgical resection.

Introduction. Iris melanocytoma (IM) is a rare benign tumor, but unavoidable in differential diagnosis of pigmented iris lesions. According to the best knowledge of the authors it is for the first time in Serbia that a well-documented case of IM is presented and that the problem of this tumor is discussed. Case Outline. In the left eye of a 47-year-old white female at the iris in a six o?clock position, a highly pigmented, dome shaped lesion with a crater-like cavity in the center and with feathery margins was noticed. There were no signs of infiltration of surrounding tissue or intrinsic vessels and the lens was clear. Visual acuity and intraocular pressure were normal. An ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a well-defined lesion with high internal reflectivity, with a base diameter of 1.25 mm and a thickness of 0.80 mm in the periphery, and 0.53 mm in the central part. The diagnosis of IM of the left eye was established and regular checkups were performed for ten years. No changes in clinical or UBM presentation were established. Conclusion. Awareness of clinical presentation of IM is most important for correct diagnosis. Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a useful diagnostic procedure in the following up of IM.

Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin is a rare benign tumor of testis, which usually presents as a slow growing testicular mass. Intratesticular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin, with or without minor sex cord elements, must be considered, analogous to similar tumors in ovary, as a benign tumor. Until now, only 25 cases of testicular fibroma have been reported in the literature. We reported a case of testicular fibroma in a 20 years male who presented with painless right testicular enlargement since two years. Ultrasonography (USG) showed heterogeneous mass in right scrotum suggestive of testicular malignancy. Right orchidectomy was done. Histopathological diagnosis was testicular fibroma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Accessory Parotid Gland

Diagnosis of mid-cheek mass has always been a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. The incidence of the accessory parotid gland (APG) has been well documented in the literature. However, a diverse spectrum of pathologies can arise from this accessory parotid tissue. Basal cell adenoma is a rare benign tumor that predominantly affects the parotid gland. Its occurrence in the accessory parotid gland has been documented in 9 cases till date. Surgical approaches for the management of such APG lesions have been in debate. This report documents a case of Basal Cell Adenoma arising in accessory parotid tissue in a 55-year-old woman who was treated by transoral excision. This paper also reviews previously documented cases of all APG lesions and attempts to elucidate the rationale for selecting an appropriate surgical approach.
