Abstract Introduction Renal angiomyolipoma is considered a benign mesenchymal tumor composed of fat, smooth muscle, and blood vessels. It represents 1–3% of solid renal tumors. Despite this tumor’s benignity, it can be aggressive with a locoregional extension. Case report A 41-year-old north African caucasian woman consulted with chief complaints of right lower back pain with no hematuria and no urinal sign. Thoracic-abdominopelvic contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a right inferior polar heterogeneous renal mass complicated with venous thrombus ascending to the right atrium level. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy under extracorporeal circulation and direct supervision of the fatty thrombus at the right atrium level. The postoperative period was uneventful. The final histologic examination was concordant with renal angiomyolipoma. Conclusion Renal angiomyolipoma is the most common benign kidney tumor. Despite its benignity, it can be associated with lethal complications such as hemorrhage, and it can also show signs of local extension mimicking malignant tumors. The cornerstone of the treatment remains surgery.

Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare malignant tumors, predominantly affecting the right heart with poor survival outcomes. The current mainstay of treatment consists of surgery with or without chemotherapy, but often yields limited results with local relapse or metastatic recurrence. This case report describes 2 patients with primary angiosarcoma located in the right atrium. One patient received neo-adjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy; both were scheduled for surgical resection. The course of disease is described followed by a comprehensive review of the literature.

Background Hyalinizing clear cell carcinomas (HCCCs) are rare, low-grade, malignant tumors which most often arise from the minor salivary glands primarily in palate and tongue but can arise in any location with minor salivary glands including the nasopharynx. Methods A case report of primary nasopharyngeal HCCC is presented. Because of the rarity of this tumor and location, a literature search was conducted to determine the most common presenting symptoms, treatment strategies, and outcomes. Results A 48-year-old man underwent biopsy of a 4.5 cm mass of the right nasopharynx with pathology suggesting an intermediate grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. After discussing management with the patient, an endoscopic resection was performed. Final pathology revealed an HCCC which was confirmed after negative Mastermind-like 2 (MAML2) and positive Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (ESWR1) gene rearrangements on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies. Literature review of other nasopharyngeal HCCC cases shows diverse presentation and overall excellent prognosis through surgical and radiation therapy. Conclusion HCCCs are rare, low-grade malignant tumors of the minor salivary glands and can present as a nasopharyngeal mass. Presenting symptoms are diverse but frequently involve otologic and sinonasal disturbances. HCCC is an indolent tumor with an excellent prognostic outcome when treated appropriately with surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy.

A 37-year-old Burmese woman presented with an incidentally found retroperitoneal fat-containing tumor. The tumor was 9 cm in the longest diameter, surrounding the right kidney, and composed of homogenous adipose tissue with thickened septum-like structures and spotty nonadipose structures, which were enhanced on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The tumor did not show either a beak sign or synchronous angiomyolipoma-like lesion in the kidneys. The tumor had irregular septa, thin blood vessels, and spotty small soft-tissue nodules. The tumor did not contain any heterogeneously enhanced solid lesions suspicious for dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Based on these imaging findings, a clinical diagnosis of a well-differentiated liposarcoma was made. Under the consensus of a multidisciplinary cancer board, she was recommended to undergo core-needle biopsy to confirm the clinical diagnosis. However, she declined to undergo biopsy for financial reasons. She underwent kidney-sparing retroperitoneal tumor resection. Histopathologically, the tumor was an angiomyolipoma with positive immunostaining for HMB45 and Melan A. The present case suggests the importance of core-needle biopsy prior to surgical intervention for retroperitoneal fat-containing tumors.
