Hydatid cyst or cystic echinococcosis in human is rare disease caused by tapeworm Echinococcus granulosa. Hydatid cyst of soft tissue is a rare condition and we had a case of large hydatid cyst in lumbar region. This is a case of 48 years old female presented to us during October 2018 with a large diffuse swelling over the left lumbar region which was gradually grown over the last 2 years without pain. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was not sure even in CT scan but it was in our differential diagnosis. It is confirmed during surgery after seen the multiple cyst removed from the large cystic lesion. No recurrence even after 15 months of follow up. Presence of hydatid cyst in soft tissue is usually rare and its diagnosis is not expected clinically when it presents as a soft tissue swelling. We need to confirm it during surgery or by presence of typical germinal membrane under microscope.

Soft Tissue Swelling

Only 0.5 to 2% of hydatid cysts are localized in the skeleton and of these, 3 to 4% are found in the skull. In this paper, the authors report a case of primary hydatidosis involving the cranial vault revealed by a bulging mass of the forehead and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure that occurred in a 22-year-old woman who came from a rural area. Through this case and literature review, the authors analyse the epidemiological, clinical and radiological aspects of skull hydatidosis. They conclude that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any soft tissue swelling or osteolytic lesion in the scalp of patients living in endemic areas.

We report hereby the case of a 61-year-old man who presented with a soft-tissue swelling on the palmar aspect of the thumb. A detailed clinical examination followed by ultrasonography and excisional biopsy confirmed a spindle cell lipoma. Lipomas are rare in the hand and exceptional in the fingers, and we report, to our knowledge, the first spindle cell lipoma in the thumb to help in the differential diagnosis of a similar swelling.

Glomus tumor is a rare condition and constitutes only 1 % of all soft tissue tumor of body. Glomus tumor is familiar for its unusual presentation and long standing symptoms due to delay in diagnosis. Authors have presented the clinical behavior and treatment of 7 patients with subungual soft tissue mass. Following surgical excision, all patients cured of symptoms, at the end of follow up, no recurrence occurred; post operative nail deformity was insignificant.

Experience Pain

Osteomyelitis of the mandible is a rare condition and it could be a serious complication of untreated odontogenic infection. Classically, patient with osteomyelitis of the mandible would experience pain and swelling over the affected side of the face. CT is usually indicated when there is extension of the infection into the adjacent soft tissue and fascial spaces which could be the presenting clinical symptom. Hereby, we present a case of mandibular osteomyelitis in an 11 year old girl who presented with pain and swelling in left lower jaw followed by extraction of tooth, diagnosed on CT followed by surgical management.

Soft Tissue Swelling

When a patient complains of pain confined to a joint or joints, they are said to have arthralgia. If, in addition, there is swelling of the joint, tenderness of the joint line to palpation, and limitation of movement, the patient is said to have an arthritis. It is important to establish if an arthritis is inflammatory or non-inflammatory, as this affects the differential diagnosis. Soft tissue swelling of the joint, the presence of a joint effusion, increased temperature of the joint, erythema of overlying skin, and early morning stiffness of at least 30 minutes duration are signs of an inflammatory arthritis.

The Relationship

The purpose of the series is to describe the management of tubercular osteomyelitis of metacarpals and phalanges in 11 children (range, 3–12 years) and to retrospectively analyse the relationship between radiological staging and clinical outcome following treatment. The available literature on the clinical and radiological manifestations of tubercular osteomyelitis of the hand (excluding wrist) was also reviewed. Follow-up averaged 17.7 months following completion of treatment. The different radiological descriptions of the condition could be grouped into three stages: Stage 1 (stage of soft tissue swelling and no bony changes), Stage 2 (stage of bony expansion) and Stage 3 (stage of destruction). The previously described different radiological entities of tubercular osteomyelitis of metacarpals and phalanges appear to be a sequential manifestation of the disease spectrum. Healing with non-operative treatment is excellent provided the diagnosis is made when tuberculosis presents with soft tissue swelling alone and before bony destruction occurs.

Renal Abnormalities

During reparative surgery for meningomyelocele of the lumbar area, a 7-week-old female infant was found to have a small, well-delineated, subcutaneous, renal blastema. A 3-month-old female infant was found to have immature renal tissue, consisting of glomeruli and tubules, in a soft tissue swelling dorsal to the sacrum. Neither of these patients showed neuroloic or renal abnormalities. The second patient has had a disease-free follow-up period of six years. The possible etiology and significance of these benign findings and their relation to the origin of Wilms tumors are discussed.

Giant Pilomatrixoma

Pilomatrixoma is a common benign soft tissue neoplasm arising from hair follicle cells, typically not exceeding 3 cm and located mainly within the head and neck regions. Lesions greater than 3 cm or those located elsewhere are rare and are often not thought of or high on a differential diagnosis. Moreover, the radiographic features of pilomatrixoma are very nonspecific making the diagnosis even more difficult and rarely described in the radiology literature. We present the largest reported case of pilomatrixoma measuring 24 cm arising from the posterior thorax. Our hope is to increase awareness of this diagnosis for slow-growing soft tissue masses not located in the classically described locations of head and neck, explore the radiographic features on various imaging modalities, and review the current radiology literature.

Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma

Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare benign primary skeletal tumor that occurs frequently in the long bones and the pelvis. The calcaneus is an unusual location for benign fibrous histiocytoma. We did not identify any case of benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the calcaneus in the relevant literature. We describe a 22-year-old male patient with benign fibrous histiocytoma involving the calcaneus treated with curettage and bone grafting. At the final follow-up visit, 1 year after surgery, the patient was free of pain and walking unaided. We discuss the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the calcaneus.
