Myopericytoma is a rare benign tumour composed of pericytic cells that show myoid differentiation and have a tendency for concentric perivascular growth. It belongs to a spectrum of perivascular myoid cell neoplasms. To date, only a small number of cases of myopericytoma involving the oral cavity have been reported. We describe a case of myopericytoma presenting as a slowly growing tongue nodule in a 61-year-old woman. A diagnosis of myopericytoma was established with the histopathological findings combined with immunohistochemical staining. Myopericytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of well-circumscribed, slow-growing lesions of the oral cavity.

Rare Benign Tumour

Giant renal leiomyoma is a rare benign tumour with a prevalently smooth muscular component; its clinical aspect and radiological and histological aspects are described. Renal leiomyoma should always be considered in differential diagnosis of a renal mass and surgical exploration is necessary to obtain the histological evidence.

Introduction Nuchal fibroma or collagenosis nuchae is a rare benign tumour. It is a slow growing neoplasia of unknown etiogenesis, asymptomatic and of variegated histology. They are more common in males but our case was a female patient. The presentation may mimic sarcoma at times. Case Report An unusual case of a very large neck mass in a 62 years old female patient is reported. The growth involved the dorso-cervical region over a period of approximately 8  years but remained asymptomatic. The mass was excised and post excision histopathology was reported as nuchal fibroma. Discussion The case reported is large compared to the usual size of nuchal fibroma. Association with diabetes mellitus and Gardner’s syndrome has been reported in literature. MRI is the imaging of choice to establish the differential diagnosis.

Clinical Differential Diagnosis

Tuberculosis of the oral cavity which is an uncommon occurrence can be primary or secondary. In the absence of active pulmonary tuberculosis, isolated tonsillar tuberculosis is rare. Herein, we report two cases of bilateral tonsillar tuberculosis who presented as recurrent sore throat for which tonsillectomy was done. No active primary pulmonary lesion was found in these cases. Histopathological examination revealed caseating epithelioid granulomas with Langhans giant cells. Ziehl Neelson stain for acid fast bacilli was positive in one case. Tonsillar tuberculosis, though a rare entity, should be considered in the clinical differential diagnosis of tonsillar lesions. Histopathological examination with Ziehl Neelson stain should be performed for definite diagnosis.

The Face

Nevus of Ota, a dermal melanocytic nevus, is rare in the Indian subcontinent. It presents as a brown, blue, or gray patch on the face and is within the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve. The oral cavity is infrequently involved in nevus of Ota. Only 11 cases have been documented in the English literature. We report a rare case of intraoral nevus of Ota in a 22-year-old male patient. This paper focuses on the differential diagnosis of oral manifestations of nevus of Ota to assist in proper followup to avert malignant transformation.

Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma

Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibromais a rare fibro-osseous tumor seen in children and adolescentand mostly arising from the cranio-facial bone.We report a case of 18-year-old boy who presented with diplopiaand progressive right fronto-orbital swelling. On plain radiograph and CT, it was diagnosed as fibrous dysplasiaand mucocele as differential diagnosis. The tumor was resected and histopathological examination showed psammomatoid features. Therefore, the diagnosis of Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma must be based on both radiological and histopathological findings.

Rare Benign Tumour

Objectives: To describe the features of an oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal myxoma.Materials and methods: Case report of a 34-year-old patient operated upon for a dual-location tumour, and review of the literature.Results: The myxoma is a rare tumour. Various head and neck locations have been described, but not (to our knowledge) a tumour in both the oropharynx and the hypopharynx. Multiple synchronous locations must be searched for, particularly regarding cardiac myxoma.Conclusion: The myxoma is a rare, benign tumour, even rarer in the head and neck. Surgical treatment must be complete in order to avoid recurrences, and should be performed after assessment for cardiac involvement.

Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to present 2 infrequent cases pseudolymphoma in the oral cavity, to discuss their locations and to emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis for the prognosis. Methods: Excisional biopsies were performed in a 34 year-old women complaining for erythematous lesion in the oral floor and in a 44 year-old man who had a bluish lesion and erythema in the oral floor. Both specimens were investigated routinely and CD3, CD20, CD45, CD23, CD5 and FVIII markers. Immunohistochemical staining methods was applied and investigation was performed under light microscope. After the investigation, the cases were diagnosed as pseudolymphomas. Results: Pseudolymphoma may show clinical and histologic resemblance to lymphoma, so that differantiation with lymphoma can be very difficult. Conclusion: Pseudolymphomas have a tendency to malign differantiation; these differences must be evaluated clinically.
