Clear cell acanthoma, also known as Degos acanthoma, is a rare benign epithelial skin tumor. Generally, it appears as a solitary lesion on the lower legs, but in this case, it appeared on the right mammary area near the areola, which is an exceedingly rare and exciting finding. This lesion's clinical features revealed elevated dome-shaped plaque with surface lobulations and shiny pink color with a size of 9 mm. Dermoscopy was characteristic with blood vessels lined up in a strings pattern. Excision biopsy was done as a therapeutic measure. Histopathology showed a collection of glycogen-containing cells in the epidermis consistent with the diagnosis of clear cell acanthoma. Classical dermoscopy features and diagnostic histology were exemplary for a case report.

Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, bone-forming tumor arising from cancellous or compact bone. Osteoma usually is a solitary lesion, but in patients with Gardner’s Syndrome it may be multiple. osteoma may rarely have a parosteal localization. Parosteal osteoma has peculiar radiographic, histologic and clinical features. We describe a case report of a 51- years old man with a bifocal parosteal osteoma of the femur in a non-syndromic patient. This is the first described patient with a bifocal lesion. In literature only 24 cases of paraosteal osteoma are found. Our patient underwent surgery and the lesions were fully excised. At one year follow-up there was no evidence of recurrence.

Background Hyalinizing clear cell carcinomas (HCCCs) are rare, low-grade, malignant tumors which most often arise from the minor salivary glands primarily in palate and tongue but can arise in any location with minor salivary glands including the nasopharynx. Methods A case report of primary nasopharyngeal HCCC is presented. Because of the rarity of this tumor and location, a literature search was conducted to determine the most common presenting symptoms, treatment strategies, and outcomes. Results A 48-year-old man underwent biopsy of a 4.5 cm mass of the right nasopharynx with pathology suggesting an intermediate grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. After discussing management with the patient, an endoscopic resection was performed. Final pathology revealed an HCCC which was confirmed after negative Mastermind-like 2 (MAML2) and positive Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (ESWR1) gene rearrangements on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies. Literature review of other nasopharyngeal HCCC cases shows diverse presentation and overall excellent prognosis through surgical and radiation therapy. Conclusion HCCCs are rare, low-grade malignant tumors of the minor salivary glands and can present as a nasopharyngeal mass. Presenting symptoms are diverse but frequently involve otologic and sinonasal disturbances. HCCC is an indolent tumor with an excellent prognostic outcome when treated appropriately with surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia. This is a congenital anomaly with the right subclavian artery originating from the dorsal part of the aortic arch and coursing through the mediastinum between the esophagus and the vertebral column. We report a case of a patient with chronic dysphagia caused by this condition. We further discuss the case with regards to its clinical features and options of management.

Abstract Background : Fibrofolliculoma is a benign, perifollicular, connective tissue tumor, and it usually arises in the form of multiple lesions, but rarely as a solitary lesion. We report a case of solitary fibrofolliculoma on the eyelid. Case presentation: A 68-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic mass on the right upper eyelid. The lesion appeared as a flesh-colored, dome-shaped, smooth nodule being the size of 5×5×4 mm, with eyelashes protruding from the surface, and located on the upper lid margin. Shave excision was performed, and the diagnosis of fibrofolliculoma was confirmed finally through histological exam. Conclusions: Solitary fibrofolliculomas rarely arises on the eyelid. However, it should be suspected when a flesh-colored and doom-shaped lesion of the eyelid is encountered. The benign tumor on the lid margin can be removed by shave biopsy.

Introduction. Angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign neoplasms composed of fat, smooth muscle and thick-walled blood vessels in varying proportions. These tumors have a significant female predominance. Case report. We reported a 61-year-old man with spontaneous rupture of AML. Computerized tomography revealed a change in morphology of both kidneys. Multiple lesions of fat density with dilated blood vessels were found in the left kidney. The right retroperitoneum was obliterated with a giant heterogeneous mass originating from the right kidney with a massive hemorrhage, active extravasations, compression of inferior the vena cava and intraperitoneal collections. After radical nephrectomy, histological examination revealed that the tumor was composed of relative proportions of fat, smooth muscle and blood vessels. We incidentally found small renal adenoma. Conclusion. The true nature of AML is unclear, but they are usually classified as hamartomas. Angiomyolipomas are generally benign lesions, although the epithelioid angiomyolipoma, a subtype that occurs in about 3% of cases, can behavior aggressively.

Abstract Background Fibrofolliculoma is a benign, perifollicular, connective tissue tumor, which is a clinically asymptomatic, 2-4 mm, skin-colored, dome-shaped smooth papule. It usually arises in the form of multiple lesions, and very rarely presents as a solitary lesion. Case presentation A 68-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic, flesh-colored mass on the right upper eyelid. The 5×5×4 mm lesion was located near upper lid margin. It was a skin-colored, dome-shaped, smooth nodule, with eyelashes on the surface, rubbery to palpation and not painful. The lesion was excised completely, and the diagnosis of fibrofolliculoma was confirmed through a histological exam. Conclusions Solitary fibrofolliculomas is rarely arising in the eyelid. However, it should be suspected when a localized mass lesion of the eyelid is encountered.

Clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCC) is a rare subtype of chondrosarcoma with a relatively low malignant potential, mainly diagnosed by its characteristic location in the epiphysis of long bones. We report the case of a 33-year-old gentleman who presented with pain, difficulty in walking and restricted range of motion of the right hip joint, with a lesion located in the proximal femoral metaphysis and completely sparing the epiphysis. Needle biopsy was consistent with CCC, which was extremely unusual considering the location of the tumour. The patient was treated by “en bloc” resection of the tumour along with femoral head and reconstruction with hemiarthroplasty. The final histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis with clear surgical margins. The aim of this case report and literature review was to highlight the unusual location of this rare tumour, as such an isolated case of CCC completely sparing the epiphysis has never been reported.
