Intravenous leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension managed by one-stage surgical excision: a case presentation

Abstract Background Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone neoplasm and is sometimes referred to as osteocartilaginous exostosis. The symptoms caused by osteochondroma are rare, especially the urogenital complications. Therefore, this tumour is sometimes misdiagnosed. Case presentation This report described a 70-year-old woman with hematuria who was initially misdiagnosed with a bladder tumour in the outpatient department by a urologist. However, during cystoscopy, we found that the mass did not resemble a bladder tumor. Multidisciplinary approach with careful analysis of the imaging data suggested the diagnosis of osteochondroma. Open surgical excision of the mass was done and histology confirmed the diagnosis of benign osteochondroma. After 6 months of follow-up, the patient was still asymptomatic. Conclusions This case illustrates that hematuria is caused by not only urogenital disease but also osteochondroma. We present this case to draw the attention of clinicians to osteochondroma of the pubic symphysis.

Abstract Background Head and neck is a relatively common site of occurrence for the peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and majority of these tumors are seen involving neck, involving vagus nerve, and cervical sympathetic chain. Schwannomas involving mobile tongue are rarely encountered, especially in the pediatric population Case presentation We present a case of recurrent tongue schwannoma in a 13-year-old female successfully managed with transoral excision. At a follow-up of 3 years, no recurrence is observed. Conclusion Surgical excision is the recommended modality of treatment for lingual schwannomas, and when excised adequately, recurrences are not expected. A clear margin of surrounding normal tissue should be aimed for to avoid possible recurrence.

History Of

We report a rare case of an extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the frontal sinus with an indolent clinical presentation. Although a history of trauma was absent, the initial diagnosis was a mucocele, based on the radiological findings. Upon surgical excision, the patient was found to have an EMP. EMP, a form of solitary plasmacytoma, has a significantly high rate of conversion to multiple myeloma. This mandates long-term follow-up, even after successful radiotherapy and/or resection. While radiation therapy is generally considered a first line treatment for EMP, surgical intervention may provide optimal treatment in complicated cases. This case presentation highlights the prognosis of patients diagnosed with EMP.

ABSTRACT Aims To describe an unusual presentation of myxoid liposarcoma of oropharynx and a brief review of literature. Introduction Liposarcomas of head and neck are very rare. Its treatment and prognosis mainly depends on the site and the histologic pattern of the tumor. Case presentation The present case report describes a 65-year-old male with complaints of dysphagia, dyspnea, and a peculiar complaint of mass in the throat which turned out to be a low-grade myxoid liposarcoma arising from right lateral wall of oropharynx extending intraluminal in the esophagus, compressing posterior wall of trachea. The mass was successfully excised surgically and postoperative period was uneventful and patient was asymptomatic 4 months after surgery. Conclusion Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare tumor in head and neck and surgical excision with adequate margin is the treatment of choice. How to cite this article Mohiyuddin A, Raj S, Merchant S, Arun P.
