Introduction. Solitary fibrous tumor is a neoplasm that arises most commonly from the pleura, but can occur at other sites. Intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor has been rarely reported and therefore is not well recognized. Case outline. We report a case of an asymptomatic 63-year-old woman in whom a large, well-circumscribed mass was incidentally revealed on chest X-ray during preparation for ergometric cardiac testing. Chest computed tomography revealed an abnormal nodule in the lower right lung lobe. Mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy was not detected. After transthoracic fine needle aspiration, cytology showed a finding suspicious for spindle cell tumor. Consequently, right anterolateral thoracotomy with right lower lobectomy was performed. On gross examination, the lower right lobe was almost completely replaced with abnormal, white-yellow, well-demarcated solid nodule measuring 13.5 cm in its largest diameter surrounded by a pseudocapsule. After histological examination and applied immunohistochemical analysis, a diagnosis of intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor of low malignant potential was set. Due to the presence of unfavorable prognostic parameters (tumor size, as well as the presence of hypercellularity), more frequent follow-up check-ups were recommended. Eighteen months after surgery, the patient remained uneventful, with no evidence of tumor recurrence. Conclusion. Intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor is a rare entity challenging for diagnosis, because variegated histology and variability of its growth patterns can resemble other soft tissue tumors. The treatment of choice is complete excision with clear surgical margins, but since morphology cannot be a reliable predictor of clinical behavior, the patients need a long-term follow-up.

This review study presents literature review and discusses the clinical significance of Adenomatoid Hyperplasia, a commonly misdiagnosed lesion. This rare entity has been seldom presented and is not well enough described in the literature. Only 15 reports with 95 cases could be attained during the online literature search using the keywords: Adenomatoid, Tumor, Hyperplasia, Minor salivary Glands. Data revealed a tendency towards the male gender. Age distribution of patients did not reveal a tendency towards a specific age group but presented a peak incidence in the 4th and 5th decades. Location data revealed a tendency towards the palate, especially the hard palate. Most of the presented cases were asymptomatic and the most common initial diagnosis made was salivary gland tumor. It was concluded that, adenomatoid hyperplasia of the oral cavity may resemble a wide range of pathologies and in order to differentiate and to achieve a correct diagnosis, histological evaluation is fundamental.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a salivary gland tumor that may rarely occur in the nasal cavity. It can be a clinical diagnostic dilemma in many instances due to many possible differential diagnoses. We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a right nasal growth associated with ipsilateral nasal blockage, nasal pain, and rhinorrhea. Radiological image showed a mild enhancing lesion in the right nasal cavity. The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with wide excision of the mass. Histopathological exam was consistent with PA. Nasal PA is a rare entity and should be suspected as a diagnosis for intranasal tumors.

Abstract Background Hemangiopericytoma (HPC), also known as solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), is a type of soft tissue sarcoma with a special aggressive behavior. The HPC/SFT is locally aggressive with possibility of late recurrence locally or distant extraneural metastasis. The most common location of this HPC/SFT is the lower extremities. The HPC/SFT in the central nervous system (CNS) is very rare, and compared with the brain, it is rarer in the spinal region. However, clinicians also lack an overall understanding of the diagnosis of HPC/SFT in the spinal cord. Case presentation In this study, we report a rare case of primary cervical spine HPC/SFT in a 53-year-old woman. Two to three weeks before admission, she experienced pain and numbness in her left upper extremity. After computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a gross total resection was performed. Obvious neurological improvement was observed postoperatively. The pain and numbness in the patient's left upper limb were relieved subsequently. We then reviewed the literature on HPC/SFT, such as its clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, treatment, and follow-up. Conclusions Diagnosis of HPC/SFT relies on magnetic resonance spectroscopy, enhanced CT, and MRI. Postoperative radiotherapy is strongly recommended to reduce the HPC/SFT recurrence. Immunohistochemical analysis can also help in the differential diagnosis. However; early and long-term follow-up is necessary for patients.
