Clinical Appearance

Background Acrospiromas are histologically distinct cutaneous tumours of sweat duct origin and usually measure 1 to 2 cm in size. Objective We describe a patient with a large benign eccrine acrospiroma. Methods Case report and literature review. Results A 50-year-old woman underwent excision of a 5.5×5.0 cm cystic mass located on the left gluteal region, and the resulting defect was closed by a local flap. A diagnosis of benign eccrine acrospiroma was made after histopathological examination. On histological examination, the lesion was characterized by multilobular dermal masses composed of a biphasic cell population. There was no recurrence five months after the operation. Conclusion Although eccrine acrospiromas are usually benign, they can, on rare occasions, undergo malignant transformation. In addition, the clinical appearance of this lesion is not specific and differential diagnosis from other lesions, both benign and malignant, can only be done after the complete removal of the lesion.

Aim. To analyze the clinicopathological features of meningioangiomatosis (MA) associated with meningioma.Methods. We present one case of MA associated with meningioma. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were used.Results. The age of the patient was 33-year-old man. Histopathologically, MA was characterized by vascular proliferation with perivascular meningothelial cells and/or fibroblast proliferation, entrapped glial islands. In addition, MA was associated with transitional meningioma. The patient was alive without evidence of recurrence at 18 months after mass resection.Conclusion. MA associated with meningioma is an extremely rare lesion. The differential diagnosis includes cortical invasion by meningioma and intracerebral schwannoma. Patients with MA associated with meningioma often have a good prognosis after operation.

Review Of The Literature

This case report describes the development of a post-treatment enlargement of the sternoclavicular joint, diagnosed as a pseudo-tumour, in a patient who had previously undergone radical neck dissection and post-operative radiotherapy for metastatic mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Although pseudo-tumour has been previously reported in the surgical literature, it remains an uncommonly recognized condition. We present a review of the literature and discuss the condition's pathogenesis. We also highlight its importance to both the surgeon and the oncologist when considering the differential diagnosis of a swelling in the clavicular region, typically occurring following radical surgery for malignant disease in the neck.

AbstractBackgroundCerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome at high altitude was rare complicated with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) syndrome and septic shock. It is a challenge to differential diagnosis and treatment at high altitude.Case presentationThis case presents a CFE with PSH and septic shock of a 23-year-old man occurred at high altitude of 3800 m above sea level, transferred by airplane successfully and cured in the department of neurosurgery, Xi’an Tangdu Hospital.ConclusionsIt is key that CFE with PSH can be rapid diagnosed and treatment bundles of septic shock should be initiated as soon as possible. Early neurological rehabilitation played an important role for good outcome.

AbstractFibrosarcomas are malignant tumors of the connective tissue, which are characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts. Most of these tumors are localized subcutaneously and cause different symptoms depending on their location. The case report describes a dermal tumor on the outside of the pinna in a 7-year-old female Cashmere goat. The tumor was surgically removed and histopathological examination revealed a low grade fibrosarcoma. Although tumors are rare in ruminants because of the animals’ short lifespan (age of slaughtering in most cases < 24 months) in modern production processes, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Uncommon Tumor

Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

History Of

Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy is a rare event. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging because symptoms are nonspecific. We present a case of ovarian torsion 2 years after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Furthermore, we performed a literature review about ovarian torsion after hysterectomy. This case shows that, in cases of acute onset pelvic pain in patients with history of hysterectomy, the adnexal torsion must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, especially in those women who had undergone LH.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Indirect Hemagglutination Test

We present a patient with symptoms of abdominal pain and frequent urination due to a huge mass in the retrovesical region. All imaging modalities revealed a cystic mass containing small daughter cysts located between the urinary bladder and rectum. Its characteristics led us to suspect the presence of a hydatid cyst, and an indirect hemagglutination test for Echinococcus granulosus was found positive. No other involvement of hydatid cystic disease was detected. The primary site for the hydatid disease was therefore regarded as the pelvis, on which only a few cases have been reported previously. The patient started albendazole therapy, but refused operation. Hydatid cyst should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominopelvic masses in endemic regions of the world.
