Introduction. Iris melanocytoma (IM) is a rare benign tumor, but unavoidable in differential diagnosis of pigmented iris lesions. According to the best knowledge of the authors it is for the first time in Serbia that a well-documented case of IM is presented and that the problem of this tumor is discussed. Case Outline. In the left eye of a 47-year-old white female at the iris in a six o?clock position, a highly pigmented, dome shaped lesion with a crater-like cavity in the center and with feathery margins was noticed. There were no signs of infiltration of surrounding tissue or intrinsic vessels and the lens was clear. Visual acuity and intraocular pressure were normal. An ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a well-defined lesion with high internal reflectivity, with a base diameter of 1.25 mm and a thickness of 0.80 mm in the periphery, and 0.53 mm in the central part. The diagnosis of IM of the left eye was established and regular checkups were performed for ten years. No changes in clinical or UBM presentation were established. Conclusion. Awareness of clinical presentation of IM is most important for correct diagnosis. Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a useful diagnostic procedure in the following up of IM.

Rare Benign Tumor

ABSTRACTNeurofibromas (NF) are benign tumors of neural origin, of which roughly 90% appear as solitary lesions. They are classified into cutaneous, subcutaneous, and plexiform subtypes. Plexiform neurofibromas are the least common variant and usually are pathognomonic for NF I. Here, we present a very rare case of isolated plexiform neurofibroma with a painless enlarging mass of the tongue of an 11-year-old girl. This rare benign tumor has the potential for malignant transformation, and the diagnosis was difficult owing to the patient's age and to the insidious clinical presentation. The present case is a diffuse isolated plexiform neurofibroma of the tongue that was not associated with neurofibromatosis that was treated with intraoral surgery.

Eccrine hidradenoma is a relatively rare benign tumor of sweat gland origin but with possible malignant transformation. It usually consists of solitary, well-demarcated papules or nodules covered with normal skin. Common sites of involvement are the scalp, face, limbs, and anterior trunk. Although the lining of the nasal vestibule includes hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands, an eccrine hidradenoma originating in the nasal vestibule has yet to be reported. Herein, we describe a rare clinical presentation of nasal eccrine hidradenoma, treated successfully using a transnasal endoscopic approach.

Rare Benign Tumor

Myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor that is usually asymptomatic, one-sided as a rule and hormonally inactive. It consists of mature adipose tissue with inclusion of hematopoietic cells. Most often it occurs in the adrenal gland. Patients with incidentally identified myelolipoma require careful examination in order to plan optimal management tactics. Using highly informative methods of radiodiagnostics (ultrasound, CT, MRI) allows to establish the correct diagnosis in most cases. Currently, the choice of the optimal survey algorithm, which allows not only to diagnose myelolipoma, but also to differentiate it from malignant tumors of adrenal glands, has not lost its relevance. The issues of follow-up of these patients, indications for surgery and methods of surgical interventions are also relevant.

Size And Morphology

Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma (GMC) is an extremely rare, benign tumor seen in both adult and pediatric males. The neoplasm originates from prostatic tissue and is typically found within the rectovesical pouch, varying in both size and morphology. Microscopically, GMC contains both glandular and cystic prostatic tissue lined by cuboidal and columnar epithelium. Symptoms often arise once the pelvic mass begins to obstruct the surrounding structures and organs, although invasion into surrounding tissue is unlikely. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, urinary retention, and dysuria. The standard treatment for GMC is surgical removal of the mass with good outcomes and only 1 known case of recurrence. Here we present the case of a 14-year-old male with GMC—the youngest patient reported to date—who presented with abdominal pain, difficulty voiding, and hydroureteronephrosis.

Rare Benign Tumor

Adrenal lipoma is a rare, benign tumor, reported to account for 0.7% of primary adrenal tumors. A 69-year-old man presented with left lateral abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) was performed, and a huge, irregularly shaped retroperitoneal tumor of uneven internal density was identified, with the border between the tumor and the pancreas and kidney being unclear. Active hemorrhage was also depicted. The tumor consisted mainly of fat, with the exception of the hematoma; it measured 200 mm; and the boundary between it and nearby organs, such as the pancreas, was unclear. Despite angiography being performed twice, the responsible vessel was not identified. Thus, for the purpose of both diagnosis and treatment, we resected the tumor, and considering the possibility of a malignancy, such as liposarcoma, we also resected the pancreatic body and tail and the spleen. The final histopathologic diagnosis was benign adrenal lipoma with hemorrhage, with no invasion to surrounding tissue. Hemorrhage within an adrenal tumor is rare. Most adrenal lipomas are small “incidentalomas” and asymptomatic. With development of a large adrenal lipoma comes the possibility of hemorrhage along with the possibility of features suggestive of malignancy. We encountered a giant adrenal lipoma with hemorrhage and, because of the aforementioned features, performed extended surgical resection, seen in retrospect as oversurgery. The widespread use of CT has led to an increased number of reported cases of adrenal lipoma. We anticipate an accumulation of case reports, which will allow for development of an appropriate treatment algorithm.

ABSTRACT Background Cervical esophageal hemangioma is a rare benign tumor. Symptoms may include hematemesis, dyspnea, cough, dysphagia, and chest pain. Objectives To describe a case of a large esophageal hemangioma in order to raise awareness of the condition and highlight the use of a cooperative endoscopic treatment approach by a gastroenterologist and otolaryngologist with excellent results. The literature on large esophageal hemangioma is reviewed. Materials and methods An otherwise healthy male presented with a huge hemangioma of the upper esophagus. Imaging showed the mass hanging on a narrow stalk attached to the posterior wall of the cricopharyngeus muscle, filling the lumen of the cervical and mediastinal esophagus. Resection was accomplished with a combination of flexible gastroscopy and microscope-assisted rigid direct laryngoscopy. Results Pathologic evaluation showed a polypoid mass covered with squamous epithelium, with multiple engorged blood vessels. Some of the vessels were wide, surrounded by a thin wall, and others were narrow with a thick wall. The histology was compatible with arteriovenous hemangioma. There was no evidence of malignancy. At the 7-month postoperative follow-up, the patient appeared well, with no dyspnea or dysphagia. Our literature search yielded only two published cases of a huge hemangioma of the upper esophagus, which were treated by open resection. Ours is the first report of the use of endoscopic excision. Conclusion Large esophageal hemangioma should be part of the differential diagnosis of dyspnea, dysphagia, persistent cough, or chest pain. A combined approach by a gastroenterologist and otolaryngologist, working cooperatively, can facilitate the correct diagnosis and provide optimum treatment.

Rare Benign Tumor

Myelolipoma is a relatively rare benign tumor of adrenal gland. Most cases are non-functioning and asymptomatic and usually discovered during various diagnostic-imaging procedures performed for other diseases of abdomen. Cases associated with excessive hormone secretion have been reported which may constitute adrenocortical adenomas with associated myelolipomatous components. Histopathological findings are very interesting and the tumor is composed of bone marrow elements with various amounts of fatty tissue. The fat component in myelolipoma can facilitate the diagnosis by radiological examination. Here, we report a case of adrenal myelolipoma and its clinical presentation and evaluation. In this case, initially the patient presented with nonspecific abdominal symptoms. Her adrenal tumor was found incidentally and the final diagnosis was proved by histopathology.

Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin is a rare benign tumor of testis, which usually presents as a slow growing testicular mass. Intratesticular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin, with or without minor sex cord elements, must be considered, analogous to similar tumors in ovary, as a benign tumor. Until now, only 25 cases of testicular fibroma have been reported in the literature. We reported a case of testicular fibroma in a 20 years male who presented with painless right testicular enlargement since two years. Ultrasonography (USG) showed heterogeneous mass in right scrotum suggestive of testicular malignancy. Right orchidectomy was done. Histopathological diagnosis was testicular fibroma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
