Abstract Pancreatic lymphangiomas, which occur predominantly in women, are rare and account for only 1% of all lymphangiomas. The characteristic histologic features include multiple cysts lined by endothelial cells, irregularly distributed smooth muscle cells, and lymphoid aggregates in the wall of the cyst. We describe a 36-year-old woman with lymphangioma of the pancreas with “ovarian-like” mesenchymal stroma in the wall. This stroma, composed of uncommitted mesenchymal cells, has not been described previously in the wall of pancreatic lymphangiomas. Multiple small lymphatic channels that are found in this stroma recapitulate the development of lymphatic channels in the embryo. Lymphangioma of the pancreas may arise from distension of these lymphatic channels. Pancreatic lymphangioma may, therefore, be a developmental anomaly rather than a true neoplasm.

Smooth muscle hamartomas are benign dermal proliferations of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle hamartomas are sub-divided into congenital or acquired; the latter is a rare entity with less than 20 cases being reported in the English literature. Most often asymptomatic, acquired smooth muscle hamartomas follow an indolent course. Treatment in the form of surgical excision can be utilized for symptomatic or cosmetic purposes. Here, we report the first case of an acquired smooth muscle hamartomas of the shin which also uniquely presented with hidrosis. This case highlights the varied clinical spectrum of acquired smooth muscle hamartomas.

Leiomyomas are rare benign tumors that grow in the tunica media of smooth muscle cells. Leiomyomas occur most frequently in the uterus or gastrointestinal tract and only very rarely in the area of the cheek. This study reports on a rare case of a leiomyoma in the cheek of a 43-year-old woman, who presented with a well-circumscribed, asymptomatic, mobile swelling in the right cheek. This swelling was slightly purplish in color and measured approximately 4 cm×3 cm. Surgical excision was the treatment of choice, and the diagnosis was based on histopathological and immunohistochemical stains, which were positive for actin and desmin and negative for AE1/AE3, CD34, and S100. The patient’s follow-up, two years later, showed no recurrence, and she has been asymptomatic since the surgery.

AbstractAngiomyoma is an uncommon, benign, soft tissue tumour characterised by bundles of smooth muscle cells intermixed with numerous vascular channels, which usually develops in the lower extremities. Oral manifestations are quite rare. Most oral cases occur in the lips and tongue; angiomyoma affecting the buccal vestibule is very rare. A case of angiomyoma in the buccal vestibule with a normal karyotype is reported.

Hmb 45

Pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (PLAM) is a rare disease occurring exclusively in women of reproductive age. It involves the lungs, lymph nodes and lymphatic ducts. In the lungs, it is characterized by the proliferation of smooth muscle cells around lymphatics in the bronchovascular bundles, lobular septa and pleura The nature of smooth muscle proliferation in PLAM is still unclear. Recently, reactivity of the smooth muscle cells for HMB-45, a melanoma-related antigen has been reported by immunohistochemistry. The purpose of this study was the ultrastructural localization of HMB-45 immunoreactivity in these cells using gold-labeled antibodies.Lung tissue from three cases of PLAM, referred to our Institution for lung transplantation, was embedded in either Poly/Bed 812 post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide, or in LR White, without osmication. For the immunogold technique, thin sections were placed on Nickel grids and incubated with affinity purified, monoclonal anti-melanoma antibody HMB-45 (1:1) (Enzo Diag. Co) overnight at 4°C. After extensive washing with PBS, grids were treated with Goat-anti-mouse-IgG-Gold (5nm) (1:10) (Amersham Life Sci) for 1 hour, at room temperature.
