Dermatofibroma is a benign skin tumor that may have a rare aneurysmal histological variant, aneurysmal dermatofibroma (AD). The diagnosis is by histological evaluation, which shows vascular spaces that dissect the tumor stroma, forming in some cases true venous lakes. However, AD is usually less than 20mm in diameter. We describe the case of a female patient whit a 45mm tumor in her right leg.

Sweat Gland Tumor

Background. Syringoma is a benign eccrine sweat gland tumor, characterized by multiple skin colored or slightly yellowish papules. Vulvar syringoma without extragenital involvement is an extremely rare variant of syringoma.Mail Observations. Herein, we report a 40-year-old diabetic female patient who presented with only lichenified plaques on the vulvar region without any extragenital lesions. Diagnosis of vulvar syringoma was made depending on the characteristic double lined cystic enlargements and comma-like tails found in histopathological examination. Immunohistochemical stains for estrogen and progesterone receptors were negative.Conclusion. Vulvar syringoma may present with no obvious papules on lichenified plaques.

AbstractA rare variant of the cystadenoma of salivary gland origin is presented, which occurred in the parotid of a 36-year-old, otherwise healthy female patient. The tumour showed a dense follicle-containing lymphoid stroma, resembling papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). In contrast to that, the epithelial lining gave a more irregular impression and oncocytic metaplasia were completely absent. Light microscopic and immunohistochemical features of the tumour are described and compared with those of classical cystadenoma and papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). Other relevant multicystic epithelial parotid lesions, which are commonly associated with a prominent lymphoid component are discussed.

An unusual case of Echinococcus oligarthrus infestation of the submandibular salivary gland is reported. Echinococcus oligarthrus is a rare variant of the Echinococcus species affecting humans. To the best of our knowledge only one case of submandibular hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus oligarthrus has been reported. A 28-year-old female patient was admitted with a progressively increasing swelling in the left submandibular region of four years’ duration. There was no pulmonary or hepatic involvement. The present case of submandibular hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus oligarthrus is of interest because of the unusual site of the disease.

Primary gastric melanoma is an extremely rare disease. Melanoma of upper gastrointestinal tract usually occurs as metastasis from a primary skin tumor in 1 to 4 % of cases. The paper describes a case report of primary gastric melanoma in a female patient who received complex therapy at the State Healthcare Institution Ulyanovsk Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary.

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) or calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor was first introduced in 1962 by Gorlin et al., as a possible oral counterpart of calcifying epitheliomas of Malherbe in skin. This lesion is a rare odontogenic lesion with variable clinico-histological characteristics. Three different histologic subtypes has been reported for COC. In this study we presented a female patient diagnosed with ameloblastomatous COC a very rare variant of this lesion and challenges regarding microscopic diagnosis and treatment of it is discussed.

Abstract Background In this case we discuss the management of a pediculated floating thrombus in the aortic arch which led to peripheral embolization and acute ischemia oft he left leg. Case presentation A healthy 46 year old female patient presented with pain in her left leg and progressive numbness. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) showed an acute ischemia of the left leg (Rutherford 2 B) with a 2 cm thrombus distal of the aortic bifurcation. Emergency operation with embolectomy, selective thrombembolectomy and patch plasty on the tibioperoneal trunk and local lysis was performed. As part of a further diagnostic examination a thoracic CT scan has been performed revealing a pediculated-floating 2 cm thrombus in the aortic arch. Four days after the initial operation thrombus excision via a minimally invasive access way has been performed. After initiation of the extracorporeal circulation, selective unilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion has been established in mild (30–32 °C) systemic hypothermia. Patients postoperative course was uneventful. Histological evaluation of the mass demonstrated thrombotic material without evidence of infection or malignacy. Conclusion A pediculated spontaneous thrombus may develop in aortic arch in patients without traditional risk factors or family history of embolic events. Two stage operation was feasible and safe.

<p>Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is a most common malignancy reported in the western world. It arises most often in sun-exposed areas (80-85%) especially head and neck consistent with the etiologic role of solar radiation. However, there are atypical localizations such as abdomen, perianal region, groin that require a higher index of suspicion to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Exposure to sunlight is thought to be most responsible etiological factor of BCC, although trauma and scar tissue have also been implicated as possible etiological causes. It has a cure rate of 100% with early diagnosis and surgical excision. Pigmented BCC is a rare clinical and histological variant of BCC that exhibits increase pigmentation. We present a case of rare variant of basal cell carcinoma of abdominal location over a prior surgical scar.</p><p class="Body"> </p>

Lichen aureus is a rare variant of pigmented purpuric dermatosis, which often affects young adults and is localized mainly on the lower extremities. We present here a 31-year-old female who had a solitary golden-brown-color patch on her right leg for 1 year. Punch biopsy of the lesion revealed lymphohistiocytic band-like infiltrate of the papillary dermis with erythrocyte extravasation and hemosiderin deposits. The diagnosis of Lichen aureus was made based on clinicopathologic findings. The dermoscopic findings that support this diagnosis were brownish yellow diffuse coloration of the background, round to oval red dots, globules and patches and twisted red loops. Herein, we present the dermoscopic findings of a 31-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of lichen aureus established with clinical and histopathological features.
