Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare developmental abnormality of lung occuring in 1-4/100000 live births. The mainstay of treatment is usually surgical excision as it can lead to recurrent pneumonias, abscess or malignancy. We here report a rare case of CCAM who presented at one year of age with right sided lung cysts and had favorable outcome as it resolved spontaneously.

Oral Soft Tissue

Lipomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin (mature adipocytes) that are comparatively uncommon in the oral cavity corresponding to less than 4.4% of all benign oral soft tissue tumors. Clinically, they present as slow growing, soft, asymptomatic masses. Histopathologically, they appear as thinly encapsulated lesion composed of mature adipocytes with inconspicuous vascularity. The pathogenetic mechanisms of oral lipomas are still unclear. They are usually treated by surgical excision and bear excellent prognosis. Here we report a case of intraoral lipoma in 54 year old male patient in the left lower lingual alveolar mucosal region that was treated by surgical excision using electrocautery without any postsurgical complication. One-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence.

Abstract Schwannomas are rare tumours arising from peripheral nerve sheath. Here, a 44-year-old lady came to our clinic with an asymptomatic progressively-enlarging swelling over her upper back. It was fluctuant, with an absence of pain and tenderness. MRI showed a benign, purely-cystic, superficial-intermuscular, extra-spinal swelling nearby upper thoracic vertebrae. Complete surgical excision proceeded smoothly through a well-defined plane between the swelling and the muscles. It was not attached to any identifiable nerve. A 6.5x5.0x2.5 cm ovoid lesion with a glistening whitish-grey capsule was excised and wound reconstructed in layers. Histopathology showed hypercellular areas with nuclear palisading or oval-shaped Verocay bodies. Only S-100 tested positive amongst the five-antigen immunohistochemistry, thus establishing the diagnosis of a schwannoma. Postoperatively, a one-year follow-up period was uneventful. Schwannomas can surprise clinicians by arising anywhere and with atypical presentations. It needs to be in the differential diagnoses of any asymptomatic slowly-growing lesion.

Background: Myxoma is a rare tumor most frequently discovered in cardiac locations. The present report describes a rare case of extracardiac origin in the femoral vein, initially presenting as leg pain and swelling. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our regional hospital with unilateral left leg swelling and pain. She underwent a Duplex scan and CT scan, which revealed a 21 x 25 mm diameter mass in contact with the distal femoral vein, initially diagnosed as a thrombosed sacciform aneurysm. The patient underwent surgical excision of a bulging mass in the vein wall, which was directly closed by running suture. The anatomopathological report concluded with a myxoma. One-year follow-up showed a patent vein without evidence of recurrence of the tumor. Conclusion: Although very rare, peripheral venous myxoma may manifest with common symptoms as leg pain and swelling. Current vascular imaging and complete surgical excision should be performed without delay to allow a precise diagnosis and prevent further complications.

Extracranial Metastasis

AbstractChondrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor originating from cartilaginous tissue with a tendency to localize in the epiphysis of long and pelvic bones. Only 7% of all chondrosarcomas originate in the craniocervical region. Metastasis from intracranial chondrosarcoma is extremely rare with only two previously reported cases. We report on a young patient with intracranial chondrosarcoma who presented with extracranial metastasis 2 years after surgical excision of the primary lesion. Gross total excision combined with radiotherapy so far has led to a favorable outcome.

ABSTRACT Aim The present case describes a rare and large size of giant keratoacanthoma (KA) of pinna. Background Keratoacanthoma is a fast growing benign cutaneous tumor resembling closely to well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on clinical and histopathological examination (HPE). Case report A 70-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing mass on the left ear for 9 months. Tumor was excised and sent for HPE, which revealed well-differentiated SCC with focal features of a KA. Clinical significance Differentiation of KA from SCC has been a major challenge for dermatosurgeons, especially at setups with unavailability of molecular studies. So, if the tumor is giant, nonregressing in size especially on sun-exposed sites in an elderly patient, always think of SCC and treat it by surgical excision rather than watching for a spontaneous resolution.

Scrotal calculi are not so common entity in the clinical presentation. Scrotourethral fistula is an abnormal communication between scrotal skin and the urethra, usually result of the inflammation and due to perforation by urethral calculi and sometimes iatrogenic due to surgery done for urethral stone removal or uretheroplasty. We present here a very rare case of young adult gentleman who initially presented with a scrotal swelling, turned out into scrotal calculi while doing surgical excision, later on presented as uretheroscrotal fistula that managed conservatively. After going through the available literature and through the pub med articles (approx 148 articles while searching with titles of ‘scrotal calculi’, ‘scrotourethral fistula’, ‘uretherocutaneous fistula’) we found only 1-2 cases of scrotourethral fistula. A high index of clinical suspicion and examination is needed to diagnose such asymptomatic rare presentation cases.

Rare Presentation

Adult penile lymphangioma (APL) is a rare multifactorial vascular malformation. Usually, it is asymptomatic and located on the coronal sulcus or shaft of the penis. It is benign in nature with rare chances of recurrence. APLs can be approached via various modalities from simple “watch and wait” to electrofulguration, laser ablation, and surgical excision. We report a rare variant of lymphangioma of the penis inculcating the shaft being excised surgically with favorable outcome along with brief review of literature.

Fascial Plane

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a rare sequela of sports injuries with a predominance in young active males located within bulky muscle planes. In most cases it is self-limiting and spontaneous resolution can occur. Fractures of HO are sparsely reported within the literature. We present a rare case of a professional athlete with a recurrent fracture of mature HO within the deep fascial plane between the anterior and posterior thigh compartments. The heterotopic mass and associated fracture had restricted return to sport and thus necessitated surgical management. The athlete successfully returned to sport following surgical excision with postoperative medical therapy to inhibit recurrence.

Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a low grade, rapidly growing skin tumor which is thought to originate from the pilosebaceous unit from hyperkeratosis of the infundibulum and are often thought to originate on hair bearing skin or sun exposed surfaces. There are very scarce reports demonstrating they may occur in other areas such as mucous membranes or soles of the feet. We present a rare case of palmar KA in a 65-year-old female with no known antecedent history. Surgical excision was performed with complete removal of the tumor. Following surgical excision, the pathology of the irregularly elevated 0.7 x 0.2 cm lesion revealed a keratoacanthoma. The patient remained without evidence of recurrence at one year follow-up. We believe there is only one other report of isolated palmar KA to date in the literature. We review relevant literature on hand KA.

ABSTRACT This is a report of a rare case of an infarcted pelvic intra-abdominal cyst, having no mesenteric connection presenting as an acute abdomen. The patient had significant asbestos exposure. The cyst was treated successfully by surgical excision. Histopathology showed an infarcted cyst; the lining was destroyed, precluding marker studies. A diagnosis of benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BCPM) was made by excluding other causes of solitary pelvic intra-abdominal cysts. BCPM has been classified as an asbestos-related neoplasm and is usually seen in the pelvis adjunct to the urinary bladder. One-year post-surgery, there was no recurrence. The case report shows that infarcted pelvic mesothelial cysts can present as an acute abdomen and can be treated successfully by total excision with no recurrence.
