Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a tumor composed of differentiated myofibroblastic spindle-shaped cells. It occurs in the soft tissues of the abdomen and lungs, and is very rare in the sphenoid sinus. The diagnosis depends on histopathology and immunohistochemistry, and is easily misdiagnosed. Although metastasis is rare, the recurrence rate is high. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice, and where complete resection is difficult, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or molecular targeted drug therapy can be administered. We report a rare case of IMT with a primary origin in the sphenoid sinus, which was entirely resected by nasal endoscopy and confirmed by histological examination.

Background: The most striking clinical feature of soft tissues sarcomas (STS) is their ability to recur. At present disputes about the clinical and morphological factors of STS recurrence such as the degree of malignancy, size, location, depth of tumor location, patient’s age and the presence of previous relapses in the anamnesis do not subside. It also requires clarification of the effect of the volume of tissues removed on the long-term results of treatment of STS as well as indications for the application of various regimes of remote radiation therapy. Materials and methods: Of 1802 registered cases of STS of extremities at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology from 2004 to 2016 there were selected data on 213 patients who suffered from at least one relapse of the disease. There was performed an assessment of overall, non-metastatic and disease-free survival using a single-factor (the Kaplan-Meier method) and multivariate analysis (the Cox regression model). Conclusion: The detection of various prognostic factors of locally recurrent STS allows determining the necessary treatment tactics (the vastness and traumatism of surgery and the advisability of radiation therapy).

Systemic lymphangiomatosis is a rare disease characterized by the exageration of lymphatic channel proliferation, occurring in children and young adults. We describe an extremely rare case of congenital systemic lymphangiomatosis in a newborn who had ascitis and respiratory failure develop immediately after delivery. Death occurred during the first hour of life. Autopsy findings showed numerous cysts in soft tissues of the cervical area, mediastinum and diaphragm, and several other organs including the liver, spleen, thyroid and kidneys. The severe and diffuse involvement with cysts in both lungs by lymphangiomatosis was associated with poor prognosis and death in our case.

<em>Bacillus</em> <em>pumilus</em> is an environmental contaminant, rarely associated with human diseases. In this report we describe a case of a severe sepsis caused by B. pumilus in a 7-year-old healthy child. The microorganism has been isolated from two blood cultures and has been identified using both biochemical tests and mass spectrometry. The patient fully recovered after an ampicillin treatment.

A 51-year-old woman complained of intermittent nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea. Sinus roentgenograms and polytomograms revealed a small mucocele of the right sphenoid sinus. There was no encroachment of the orbital apex or intracranial contents. The mucocele was marsupialized via an external ethmoidectomy, and the scant tissue present inside the sinus was examined histologically. The pathologic diagnosis was hemangiopericytoma. The small tumor had apparently originated at the sinus ostium, thus creating the mucocele. Several months postoperatively, a small, vascular tumor nodule was noted in the incision. No recurrence was evident intranasally. A course of 5,040 rads of external beam radiation therapy was given to the right ethmoid labyrinth and right sphenoid. Since completing her radiation therapy, there has been no recurrence. This case is of interest because the tumor occurred as a mucocele of the sphenoid sinus.

ABSTRACT Isolated sphenoid sinus mucoceles are uncommon and difficult to diagnose clinically owing to the inaccessibility of the sphenoid sinus to clinical examination. A case of infected sphenoid sinus mucocele in which the patient complained of progressive nasal obstruction and postnasal drip without any other classical features of sphenoid sinus mucocele is discussed here. The pathology of mucocele and endoscopic sinus surgery as the treatment has been discussed in this article. How to cite this article Gupta K, Virk RS, Sunku SK.

<p class="abstract">Inverted papilloma (IP) is a tumor most commonly originates from lateral wall of nose and benign in nature. Sphenoid sinus is a rare site of origin and involvement. Malignant changes are the rare possibility in the IP. In this case report we reported a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma in back ground of inverted papilloma of sphenoid sinus.</p>
