Abstract Background Sacrococcygeal teratomas are tumors originating from pluripotent embryonic germ cell layers located in the fetal coccyx. These tumors are highly vascular if they undergo malignant transformation. Typically, they are found in infants and children and occasionally can be diagnosed prenatally. Adult cases are very rare, and represent tumors present since birth with delayed detection. Case presentation We describe a case of a giant sacrococcygeal teratoma in a 25 years old female college student presenting with right gluteal swelling of 4 months’ duration. In addition to the huge disfiguring mass on the perineal area, she also had lower abdominal pain, urinary complaints, and difficulty with ambulation. Discussion Pre-operative impression was of a sacrococcygeal mass and histopathology following complete surgical excision revealed a sacrococcygeal teratoma. She recovered well after surgery with no radiologic evidence of recurrence at six months. Conclusion Although rare, sacrococcygeal teratoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis for female adults presenting with perineal and/or pelvic masses. Complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment.

Mature sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) are uncommon neoplasm comprised of mixed elements derived from three germ layers. They attract attention because of their gross appearance and bizarre histology. Tumor of the sacrococcygeal region, referred to as sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) in most reports, generally present in two distinct fashions: neonates with large predominately external lesions, which are detected in utero or at birth and are rarely malignant; and older infants and children who present with primarily hidden pelvic tumors with a much higher rate of malignancy. Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common extragonadal tumor in neonates, accounting for up to 70% of all teratomas in childhood. A 3 to 4:1 female to male ratio is generally reported. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of therapy and recurrence is rare following complete excision. A 14 years old girl was presented to us by her parents with a mass at the buttock since birth. She was delivered at home by traditional midwife after a term, unsupervised pregnancy to a 35 years old woman. Both pregnancy and delivery were uneventful. Direct rectal examination revealed a mass has displaced the recto-sigmoid anteriorly. The CT scan revealed a heterogenous mass with a solid, cystic, and multiple classification density at the anterior of coccygeus bone, and push the coccygeus to the posterior. The mass infiltrated the subcutis, and attached to the posterior aspect of rectum. A 14 years old girl presented by mature SCT since newborn comprising ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm tissue. She had a complete surgical excision (including coccygectomy) with primary wound closure. A complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of therapy of mature SCT.

Abstract Background Nasolabial cysts are rare, non-odontogenic, soft-tissue cysts that develop between the upper lip and nasal vestibule with an overall incidence of 0.7% out of all maxillofacial cysts. The predominant presentation of a nasolabial cyst is a painless localized swelling with varying degrees of nasal obstruction. Several treatment modalities have described in the management of the nasolabial cyst. In this paper, we present a case of a nasolabial cyst in a 44 years old man with discussions of the treatment modalities in the lights of the literature. Case presentation We present a case of a nasolabial cyst in a 44-year-old man that slowly increased in size through a period of 3 years, with associated mild pain and nasal obstruction. It had caused a mass effect upon the maxilla, resulting in scalloping. The cyst was excised entirely with no evidence of recurrence at the two months follow up. Conclusions The nasolabial cyst is a rare soft-tissue cyst. Complete surgical excision using an open approach performed to our case, which considered with the complete endoscopic removal of the best treatment for the nasolabial cysts with a rare recurrence rate.

Abstract Tumors of the maxillary sinus pose difficult challenges in a young patient. Our paper presents a very rare case of an odontogenic myxoma extended to the maxillary sinus, in a 14-year-old girl. The clinical picture suggested a malignancy or a local infection. The surgical removal was complete and the diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Discussions are made from the perspective of already published cases. A review of the disease is performed. CONCLUSION. Myxoma is a benign but aggressive tumor, needing complete surgical excision for a good long-term outcome.

Histopathological Type

Introduction. Retroperitoneal sarcomas comprise a small proportion of all soft tissue sarcomas, and multiple factors influence their clinical behavior. Histopathological type and grade as well as complete surgical resection especially on the first operative attempt are well recognized as the main prognostic factors. Multifocality is another prognostic factor, which compromises therapy and finally makes prognosis worse due to multiple adverse implications.Case Presentation. A rare case of a 65-year-old male patient suffering from a multifocal retroperitoneal liposarcoma successfully treated in our hospital is presented herein.Discussion. Also, general considerations for these tumors are discussed, and especially multifocality is underlined as an ominous sign of retroperitoneal sarcomas behavior. Despite multifocality, once again complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment of these patients, as long as further systemic and local therapies do not provide durable results.

Unilateral Proptosis

Background: Teratoma originates from all three germinal layers and commonly found at the sacrococcygeal region. The orbit is an unusual site of occurrence, but they grow rapidly and cause massive proptosis. Case Presentation: A 9-day-old female neonate presented with marked unilateral proptosis of the right eye. Imaging workup gave a suspicion of a complex mass with internal hemorrhage or a teratoma. Modified exenteration was performed. Histopathological examination revealed mature cystic teratoma. Conclusion: Orbital teratoma presents with marked disfiguring proptosis in neonatal life. Prompt complete surgical excision is curative in the case of mature lesions.

A choristoma is a benign tumour-like mass consisting of mature tissue derived from one or more germ cell layers that are foreign to the site at which they are located. Choristomas of the pharynx are rare with few cases being reported in the English literature. Management of these lesions is usually complete surgical excision. We report a case of osteocartilaginous choristoma arising from the pharynx.

Abstract Background Teratoma is a true neoplasm and originates from the three germ cell layers and it can contain any tissue derived from these layers. The location of teratoma is variable according to the age group. In adults, sacrococcygeal teratoma is rare and carries a low risk of malignant transformation. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment and is challenging due to tumor location. Case presentation We are presenting a case report of a 16-year old female referred to our hospital with recurrent attacks of urine retention. Imaging study showed a large sacrococcygeal tumor. It was successfully resected by a combined laparoscopic and posterior approach without any major complication. Conclusion The combined laparoscopic and posterior approach is a safe surgical technique for resection of the large sacrococcygeal tumor. This surgical method has been published around 10 times in separated reports around the world and for first time in our region.
