Extracranial Meningioma

Extracranial meningiomas comprise two per cent of all meningiomas. Primary extracranial meningiomas are even less common. The authors report the first case of a primary extracranial meningiomas of the soft palate, which presented as an intraoral mass. This was treated by surgical excision and there was no evidence of tumour recurrence at four years of follow-up.

Extracranial meningioma is very rare with few cases reported, especially in the oral cavity. Its diagnosis considered a challenge owing to the unusual site of occurrence.  We report, to our knowledge, the first case of extra-cranial meningioma as a primary tumor in the palate with no detected intracranial extension. A 59-year-old female Egyptian patient presented with a 22-year history of a large painless swelling at the right side of the palate, which could not be seen on radiographs.  An incisional biopsy was taken and, after assessment with a panel of immunohistochemical markers, the lesion was diagnosed as extracranical meningioma. The patient did not show up for surgical excision and follow-up was not performed because of loose of contact with the patient. Intraoral meningioma is a rare unsuspected tumor. Immuohistochemical markers are important when confirming this diagnosis.

AbstractTumors of smooth muscle origin are rare in the oral cavity. To date, only eighty-three cases of oral leiomyomas have been reported. A first case of tonsillar leiomyoma in a 73-year-old male is presented. The theories of origin and the various histologic types of oral leiomyomas are discussed. Leiomyoma can easily be confused with other spindle-cell tumours. Special stains are necessary to reach a correct diagnosis. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate benign leiomyoma from malignant leiomyosarcoma. The use of mitotic figure count to indicate malignant behaviour is not always reliable. The need for wide surgical excision of the tumour, complete sectioning and examination of the specimen and meticulous follow-up of the patient for evidence of recurrence are emphasized.

Primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent the most common solid tumors in childhood. Ependymomas arise from ependymal cells lining the wall of ventricles or central canal of spinal cord and their occurrence outside the CNS is extremely rare, published in the literature as case reports or small case series. We present two cases of extra-CNS myxopapillary ependymomas treated at our institution in the past three years; both cases originate in the sacrococcygeal region and were initially misdiagnosed as epidermoid cyst and germ cell tumor, respectively. The first case, which arose in a 9-year-old girl, was treated with a surgical excision in two stages, due to the non-radical manner of the first operation; no recurrence was observed after two years of follow-up. The other case was a 12-year-old boy who was treated with a complete resection and showed no evidence of recurrence at one-year follow-up. In this paper, we report our experience in treating an extremely rare disease that lacks a standardized approach to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up; in addition, we perform a literature review of the past 35 years.

Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is a rare fibroosseous lesion uncommonly seen in the orbital area. Although benign, it is known to be recurrent and locally destructive. We report two cases of GCRG of the orbit. In both cases, computed tomography revealed a heterogeneously growing well-defined mass, arising from the roof of the orbit, affecting the cortex, and invading the orbit. In the first case, the mass extended into the anterior cranial fossa. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium showed, in both cases, a cystic character of the lesion with fluid levels. The surgical treatment was performed via an upper crease incision. An ultrasonic aspirator system was used to remove the tumor tissue and its extension into cranial fossa. Careful histopathologic analysis established the diagnosis of GCRG. Symptoms resolved completely with no evidence of recurrence after a follow-up of 18 and 14 months, respectively. We present the clinicopathological and radiological findings, and we describe the surgical approach. As a rare entity, GCRG of the orbit should be considered in differential diagnosis of fibroosseous orbital masses. Complete surgical excision carries a low risk of recurrence.

A woman 43 years, presented with 9 years history of a painless swelling in the palatal region, slow-growing. Her medical history was not significant. On intraoral examination, a median ovoid mass measuring 4 cm diameter was found at the junction of hard and soft palate. The mass was firm, with smooth surface. No radiographic evidence of bone involvement was seen on the CT scan (Figure A). Surgical excision under general anesthesia: excision of the mass was carried out, the overlying mucosa was healthy, so conserved (Figure B,C&D). Histopathologic report confirmed the lesion to be “pleomorphic adenoma”. The lesion has not recurred after four years follow-up.

Bronchial Atresia

Bronchial atresia is a rare pulmonary developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of a focal obliteration of a segmental or lobar bronchial lumen. The lung distal to the atretic bronchus is typically emphysematous along with the presence of mucus filled ectatic bronchi (mucoceles). BA is usually asymptomatic but pulmonary infections can rarely develop in the emphysematous lung distal to the atretic bronchus. We present a unique case of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) in a patient with BA with no evidence of immune dysfunction. The patient was treated initially with voriconazole and subsequently underwent surgical excision of the involved area. On follow-up, she has done extremely well with no evidence for recurrence. In summary, we describe the first case of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient with bronchial atresia.

Extracranial meningioma is very rare with few cases reported, especially in the oral cavity. Its diagnosis is considered a challenge owing to the unusual site of occurrence.  We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of extra-cranial meningioma as a primary tumor in the hard palate with no detected intracranial extension. A 59-year-old Egyptian female patient presented with a 22-year history of a large painless swelling at the right side of the hard palate, which could not be seen on radiographs.  An incisional biopsy was taken and, after assessment with a panel of immunohistochemical markers, the lesion was diagnosed as extracranical grade I mengiothelial meningioma. The patient did not show up for surgical excision and follow-up was not performed because of the lose of contact with the patient. Intraoral meningioma is a rare tumor. Immuohistochemical markers are important for confirming this diagnosis.

Capillaria hepatica (syn. Calodium hepaticum) is a parasitic nematode of rodents, rarely infecting humans. An asymptomatic Israeli adult male with extensive travel history was diagnosed with a liver mass on routine post-thymectomy follow-up. Imaging and computer tomography (CT) guided biopsy were inconclusive. Surgical excision revealed an eosinophilic granuloma with fragments of a nematode suspected to be C. hepatica. Molecular methods verified the diagnosis, and the patient was treated empirically. This is the first case of hepatic capillariasis described in Israel, and the first to be diagnosed using molecular methods.
