Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, commonly called as pseudotumor is a soft tissue tumour, commonly occurring in children and young adults and very rarely in elderly. Lungs are the most commonly affected site but sometimes it can occur in retroperitoneum and abdominal cavity. It contains spindle cells, myofibroblasts, lymphoctyes, plasma cells, and histiocytes. It is a non-encapsulated lesion. The pathogenesis of IMT remains unclear, although various allergic, immunogenic infectious mechanisms have been postulated. They are locally recurrent (15-37%) and rarely metastasize (<5%).  IMT features mimcs malignancy on UGIscopy and radiological imaging and hence surgical exploration and complete resection is required for diagnosis and treatment. The worldwide incidence of IMT is 0.04- 0.7%. Here is a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour in duodenum presented with complaints of vomiting and melena.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT), also known as plasma cell granuloma (PCG) or inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), is a distinctive, rarely metastasizing neoplasm composed of myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by inflammatory infiltration of plasma cells, lymphocytes and/or eosinophils. IMT predominantly affects children and young adults, and the age at presentation ranges from 3 to 89 years. We present a very rare case of recurrent testicular IMT without ALK rearrangement. This case highlights the clinical characteristics and diagnostic factors associated with primary and recurrent foci of this rare tumour, along with key therapeutic approaches.

Spindle cell lipomas (SCL) are slow-growing benign adipocyte tumours that are most commonly seen in (1) the upper back, posterior aspect of the neck, and shoulders . Both genders are affected, but it is more (1) prevalent in males between the ages of 40 and 70 . Spindle cell lipoma is a benign tumour that is frequently confused with (1) liposarcoma. SCLs account for approximately 1.5 percent of all lipomatous tumours reported, making them uncommon . They (2) have a morphology similar to other benign and malignant fatty/spindle cell or myxoid lesions . Microscopically, it is a complex mixture of lipocytes and uniform spindle cells embedded in a mucinous matrix and traversed by (2) a variable number of birefringent collagen bres . Due to the unusual presentation and similar morphology of tumours, early diagnosis is critical; thus, diagnosis is based on clinical examination and conrmed by histopathological ndings. Because SCL has a favourable prognosis, wide local (1) excision is the treatment of choice . This is a case report of a 52-year-old male with a similar presentation in the right upper limb.

AbstractBackground:Myopericytoma is a relatively recently described skin and soft tissue tumour that demonstrates perivascular myoid cell or pericytic differentiation. Whilst the range of anatomical locations has expanded to include visceral locations, head and neck myopericytomas are rarely documented. There have been no previous reports of aural myopericytoma.Case report:This paper reports the clinicopathological features of a biopsy-proven, slow-growing, 20 × 20 mm, polypoid myopericytoma that involved the external auditory canal and tragus in an 18-year-old woman. Excision was curative.Conclusion:Heightened clinicopathological awareness of the expanding anatomical distribution of myopericytoma is critical to its diagnosis when it presents in unusual and novel locations. Myopericytoma should be added to the range of external auditory canal neoplasms, especially those characterised by an admixture of spindle cells and a prominence of blood vessels, including those with a haemangiopericytomatous pattern.

Angiofibroma is a benign soft tissue tumour presenting as a gradually progressive swelling in the vulvovaginal area in women and in the inguinoscrotal region in men. Being a rare tumour, there are only a few case reports in the literature, and among them, presentation as perineal herniation is very rare. En bloc resection of angiofibroma either via laparoscopic or open approach is the choice of treatment to avoid recurrence. Detailed pathological examination and immunohistochemistry workup are imperative to distinguish it from various mesenchymal tumours. Perineal hernia is itself rare and may occur spontaneously or following abdominoperineal resection, sacrectomy or pelvic exenteration. Surgical repair via open transabdominal and transperineal approaches has been described. Here, we report a case of a young woman who presented with spontaneous reducible perineal hernia with a soft tissue tumour as its content, which on histopathological investigation was found to be an angiofibroma.

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare oncological entity that most often arises in the pleura. Over the past 10 years, the tumour has been described at numerous extrapleural locations. We present the case of a 42-year-old female Caucasian patient with an extrapleural SFT located at the anterior thoracic wall for 22 years, with atypical histological characteristics and clinical features of malignancy. Management consisted of a wide surgical resection, plastic reconstruction, and postoperative radiotherapy. Although extrapleural SFT usually behaves as a benign soft tissue tumour, it can also present with a more aggressive local behavior, including locoregional recurrence or metastasis. In that case, a multidisciplinary approach is required for accurate diagnosis and proper management.
