Cystosarcoma phyllodes is a rare breast tumor with variable malignant potential. Metastasis has been reported in a small percentage of cases. We describe the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed a large facial tumor 1 year after she had undergone a mastectomy fora rapidly enlarging breast neoplasm. The facial lesion was found to be a malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes metastatic to the mandible, and the patient died shortly after diagnosis. To our knowledge, this patient represents only the third reported case of a phyllodes tumor metastatic to the mandible.

<p class="abstract">The congenital epulis of new-born is a rare disease of idiopathic etiology and lineage. The literature recorded spontaneous regression of some cases. This finding rendered skeptical questions about its neoplastic nature and posed some speculations about hormonal influences, towards the end of pregnancy, on the growth of the lesion. No malignant potential has been ever reported. Surgery is indicated if the lesion grossly interferes with breast feeding. This paper reports an established diagnosis of congenital epulis of new-born, which was excised surgically with no evidence of recurrence hitherto. </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Congenital epulis, Neonatal lesions, Mucosal swellings, Pediatric oncology</p>

Epidermoid cysts are rare benign neoplasm accounting for less than 1% of all intra-spinal tumors. Congenital epidermis cysts are frequently found with syringomyelia, dermal sinus and spina bifida. Most common etiology for an acquired cyst is repeated lumbar puncture. Congenital epidermoid cysts, often associated with other spinal dysraphisms, are caused by the anomalous implantation of ectodermalcells during closure of the neural tube between the third and fifth week of embryonic life. This is a very rare case. With all these characteristics and literature review, we report this case for its rarity and unique characteristics in this part of world (Nepal). These patients commonly present late to the hospital.

Cystosarcoma phyllodes was described first in 1838 and originally was considered to be a benign tumor. It was not until 1931 that metastasis from a cystosarcoma phyllodes was reported. The incidence of cystosarcoma phyllodes is estimated to be 0.3% to 0.9% of all breast tumors. Sites most commonly affected by metastases are the lungs and bones. We present a case report  29-year old female patient presented with a voluminous breast mass at both of them  which was completely resected. The right side presented of malignant phyllodes and the left side is borderline phyllodes. Six months later, both of her legs became paralyzed and accompanied by swelling over her right upper arm. Biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was metastatic malignant phyllodes tumor. Histologic review of the breast tumor revealed stromal overgrowth.

Most malignant tumors of the penis are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), being divided in 2 groups, one human papillomavirus (HPV)-related and another non-HPV-related, with lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) being one of the rarest HPV-related SCC. In this article, we report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented testicular swelling and pain for the past 3 months. A penile mass was identified, and the patient was submitted to a total penectomy. The penectomy specimen showed an ulcerated lesion at the glans reaching the cavernous bodies. Microscopic examination showed undifferentiated epithelial cells with syncytial growth pattern mix with a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, consistent with LELC. The tumor cells expressed p16 and all 3 different clones of PDL1 (22C3, SP263, and SP142). The patient is alive and well with a follow-up of 3 months. To our knowledge, this is the third LELC of the penis reported in literature and the first case reported with PDL1 expression.
