Neurilemmoma, also known as schwannoma or neurinoma, is a tumor that originates from neural sheath Schwann cells. Giant neurilemmomas derived from the retroperitoneum have rarely been reported. We herein describe a woman with a giant retroperitoneal neurilemmoma that was initially incorrectly diagnosed as an inflammatory abdominal mass. The tumor extended from the patient’s hypogastrium to her pelvic cavity and measured 20 × 15 × 10 cm. The tumor was excised via laparotomy and diagnosed as a retroperitoneal neurilemmoma through histological and immunohistochemical examination. Although rare, particularly in the giant form, neurilemmoma should be considered as an important differential diagnosis in patients with a retroperitoneal tumor or inflammatory abdominal mass. Complete excision should be considered for the potential cure of giant retroperitoneal neurilemmomas.

Ulcerative Lesions

Brucellosis is a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, and it can involve any organ all over the body. Here, we report a significant rare case of brucellosis with cutaneous manifestations in a 52-year-old male patient whose disease was diagnosed via a serology test. The patient received standard antibiotic treatment, and his cutaneous lesions healed quickly. Although the cutaneous manifestations of brucellosis are exceedingly rare, in case of encountering ulcerative lesions and other cutaneous findings, particularly in endemic areas, infection with brucellosis should be kept in mind as an important differential diagnosis.

Abstract Background Pleomorphic adenomas are common tumors of major salivary glands. However, the localization in nasal cavity originating from the lateral wall is exceptional. This work is a presentation of a very rare case that presents the diagnostic challenge, considering the multitude of malignant and benign differential diagnosis. A discussion of surgical approach, and the possible complications associated with it. Case presentation This is the case of an invasive nasal pleomorphic adenoma in a 48-year-old patient; the patient underwent complete excision through combined left lateral rhinotomy and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Conclusion Pleomorphic adenoma is a very rare benign tumor of the nasal cavity. Clinical diagnosis is generally difficult regarding the multitude of differential diagnosis. Confirmation is established upon histological aspect. This is a case of a very rare large pleomorphic adenoma of nasal cavity originating from the lateral wall, associated with differential diagnosis, and surgical approaches, as well as perceivable complications. The strength of this work is to point out the importance of complete surgical extirpation and thorough follow-up to prevent recurrences and malignant transformation.

History Of

The peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) is a rare malignant tumor originating from neuroectoderm that usually occurs in children or adolescent and is frequently located in the extremities, chest cavity, pelvic cavity and chest wall. We present a rare case of an 84-year-old man with a history of pPNET in the scrotal sac, to our knowledge not previously published in the literature. The presence of a large irreducible mass in the inguinal sac forced to exclude a tumor. Ultrasound and MRI are very useful modalities to assess the location of the mass, its dependency from any organ and the tumoral internal structure. Molecular imaging with the detection of EWS-FLI1 fusion transcripts is useful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma/pPNETs.

AbstractBackground:Extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a rare but distinct clinical entity, different from juvenile angiofibroma.Methods:This clinical record elucidates the only case of extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma arising from the septum in a female child, who presented with epistaxis.Results:The histopathological diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, and the case was managed surgically with no recurrence.Conclusion:In a female paediatric patient presenting with epistaxis, extra-nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (of the inferior turbinate) is a rare albeit important differential diagnosis, as it challenges the hormonal theory of angiofibroma aetiopathogenesis.

Abdominoscrotal Hydrocele

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare entity and first described by Dupuytren in 1834. Its etiology is still unclear. Rare complications are hydroureter/hydronephrosis, testicular flattening and malignant mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis associated with intraabdominal testis in an abdominoscrotal hydrocele. Herein we report a 7-month-old boy with bilateral abdominoscrotal hydrocele with secondary bilateral hydronephrosis due to contiguous pressure. Bilateral hydrocelectomies were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful without complication. Six month after the operation the renal ultrasound was normal. This entity, although unusual, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a lower abdominal mass in children, as well as a cause of hydronephrosis. After surgical removal, healing is usually complete, including regression of the hydronephrosis.

Orbital Pseudotumour

AbstractOrbital pseudotumour is a non-specific inflammation of the orbit which forms a tumour-like mass composed of increased connective tissue and ground substance with vascular proliferation and an infiltrate of chronic inflammatory cells. No demonstrable aetiological agents are found locally, and there is no evidence of specific disease entities such as Hodgkins, SLE or temporal arteritis.The condition may present in many different ways to the otolaryngologist, and is therefore a rare but important differential diagnosis to be born in mind. We report a rare case of orbital pseudotumour presenting initially with involvement of the maxillary antrum and in association with Riedel's thyroiditis.

Basal Cell Carcinomas

Vulval basal cell carcinomas (BCC) are an important differential diagnosis of painful, itchy vulval lesions, which can occur at all ages but commonly affect women in their senium. BCC tend to grow locally in an invasive and destructive pattern and seldom metastasize. Here we describe the rare case of inguinal metastasis in a 70-year-old woman with vulval BCC who was treated with radical hemivulvectomy, bilateral inguinal node sampling and adjuvant external beam radiotherapy. We discuss the clinical management of vulval BCC and provide an overview of the previously reported cases in the literature.

Fibroid Polyp

Fibroid/Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the uterus, arising from uterine smooth muscle. Atypical leiomyomas are rare forms of Myoma (fibroid uterus), of which recurrent atypical leiomyoma post hysterectomy is rarer and its converting in leiomyosarcoma arising from vault is rarest.  Here we report an unusual case of a 76yrs female, with leiomyosarcoma in an atypical leiomyoma arising from vault post-hysterectomy. A 76-year-old P3L3 patient presented with pain and distension of abdomen, post hysterectomy done 4 years back for chronic inversion and cervical fibroid polyp she was diagnosed as atypical leiomyoma. Laparotomy was done with a provisional diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. Though Rarest (0.13-0.26%), a differential diagnosis of neoplastic changes should be kept in mind in patients with atypical leiomyoma, in patients presenting with any mass/pain abdomen, irrespective of any gynaecological complaints. This case shows that though it is unexpected after hysterectomy, leiomyosarcoma has to be considered in a case of abdominal mass. Atypical leiomyoma develops approximately in one to five cases out of 1,000 women with fibroid and it getting converted in leiomyosarcoma is rarest. Hence, diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma should always be kept in mind though the patient is hysterectomised.

ABSTRACT Neurilemmoma, also known as schwannoma, is a benign tumor arising from the neural sheath Schwann cells. This tumor has a predilection for the head and neck region but it is rarely found in the oral cavity (1%) where tongue is reported to be the favored site. We report a rare case of neurilemmoma of the hard palate along with a review of literature of this entity.
