Lipoma is a common tumor of soft tissue. Its location on the oral mucosa is rare, representing 1% to 5% of benign oral tumors although it is the most mesenchymal tumor of the trunk and proximal portions of extremities. Lipoma of the oral cavity may occur in any region. The buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth are among the common locations. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic yellowish mass. The overlying epithelium is intact, and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumor. Other benign connective tissue lesions such as granular cell tumor, neurofibroma, traumatic fibroma and salivary gland lesions (mucocele and mixed tumor) might be included in differential diagnosis. We present a case report of oral lipoma in the left side of the lower lip in 18 years old Saudi patient.

Abstract Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare form of soft tissue cancer that is usually benign. Its malignant evolution is encountered in less than 2% of cases, having a more rapid and unfavorable evolution. Clinical presentation betraying malignant features could be increased tumor size, rapid growth, deep localization, and female gender. This paper presents the case of a 52-year-old patient with a hard, rapidly evolving tumor in the left arm. The diagnosis of granular cell tumor was made based on histopathological examination using the Fanburg and Smith criteria to differentiate the formation as malignant, but with certainty this was subsequently confirmed by the existence of a metastasis. Surgical excision was performed and the evolution was favorable. Evolution and treatment differ depending on the benign or malignant form, but surgical treatment with wide local excision is recommended. This may be followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and follow-up of patients for the rest of their lives is mandatory.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Granular cell tumors (GCTs) of the sellar and suprasellar regions are rare tumors that may be managed surgically by multiple strategies. The technical approaches for these tumors have rarely been described in the literature. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We introduce the case of a patient presenting with dizziness and headaches who was found to have a suprasellar and retrochiasmatic mass and eventually underwent surgical resection. We discuss the characteristics of this tumor, and the current state of the literature. Also included are details regarding the surgical approach utilized in this case, and a discussion of the various surgical approaches for this type of tumor. CONCLUSION There are several approaches for the surgical resection of suprasellar GCTs, and the approach utilized may depend on patient and/or surgeon considerations. Patient-specific considerations must be made to ensure maximal safe resection of these lesions.

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.
