Abstract Background The accessory spleen has no anatomical or vascular relationship with the normal spleen, The tissue structure and physiological function of the accessory spleen are the same as those of the normal spleen, which usually locate in the splenic hilum and the tail of the pancreas. The aims of this manuscript are to present a rare case of the gastric accessory spleen and a review of the literature. Case presentation A 19-year-old male patient was sent to the emergency department with stomach bleeding after drinking alcohol. The computed tomographic scan showed a 1.2 cm × 1.7 cm mass at the lesser curvature of the gastric fundus. Gastrointestinal endoscopy displayed a submucosal elevated lesion on the gastric fundus, and gastrectomy was performed. Postoperative pathological examination proved an accessory spleen in the stomach. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 6th day after the surgery. Conclusions The accessory spleen at the fundus of stomach is extremely rare, especially in this case, which is accompanied by acute gastric bleeding, and it is difficult to diagnosis before operation. Many literatures reported that it was misdiagnosis as tumor, so it is necessary to diagnose accessory spleen correctly.

Paratesticular leiomyosarcomas are rare and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, if inadequately diagnosed or treated. We present a case of paratesticular leiomyosarcoma in an 88-year-old man presenting with a left scrotal mass with ultrasound revealing that the mass is extratesticular. Left radical orchidectomy was performed and pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnoses of high grade leiomyosarcoma with surgical margins clear of tumour. The patient was free of metastatic disease on further imaging and has been disease-free for 18 months. A review of the literature regarding paratesticular leiomyosarcoma presentation, diagnosis, and treatment is also discussed.

A 34-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 2-month history of repeated dull upper abdominal pain. Gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography indicated a hemispherical mass at the junction of the greater curvature and the gastric fundus, with hypoechogenicity originating from the intrinsic muscular layer. He was diagnosed with a gastric body submucosal lesion and gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection. However, postoperative pathological examination of the mass unexpectedly revealed heterotopic spleen tissue (accessory spleen). Intragastric ectopic spleen tissue originating from the intrinsic muscular layer of the stomach is a rare clinical condition, with no specific clinical symptoms. This finding is of great clinical significance for the identification of gastric submucosal tumors.

Collison tumor of the stomach is rare, and its endoscopic and pathological features remain poorly described. A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for examination and treatment of undifferentiated gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a whitish, superficial elevated lesion in contact with a reddish, superficial depressed lesion from the anterior wall of the gastric angle and antrum to the lesser curvature. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was performed for preoperative diagnosis of suspected early gastric cancer presenting as a differentiated and undifferentiated collision tumor, which led to the lesion being diagnosed as collision tumor, tub1-tub2+por1-sig, pT1a (M), ly0, v0, N0, stage IA. To our knowledge, this report represents a valuable addition to the collision tumor literature describing a rare case of preoperatively diagnosed collision tumor of the stomach.

ABSTRACT Spindle Cell Lipoma (SCL) is an uncommon benign tumor of adipose tissue that is usually super􀃶cially located in the posterior neck, back and shoulder region. We report a rare case of SCL in a 39 years old male presenting as neck swelling with c/o stridor and dysphagia. The contrast enhanced computed tomographic scan of neck showed an external and internal part of the swelling traversing through the thyrohyoid membrane suggestive of Mixed Pyolaryngocele. The tumor was excised by a trans-cervical approach but the post operative histopathology was found to be spindle cell Lipoma. We report this case due to its atypical presentation and location. Keywords: Lipoma, Spindle cell, Pyolaryngocele
