Introduction. Lipoma is a benign tumor of adipose tissue, the most common tumor of the human body soft tissues. As such, it can be found almost anywhere in the human body including the gastrointestinal system (incidence below 0.5%), but rarely in the sigmoid colon. Case report. This is a case report on symptomatic polyp of the sigmoid colon, which after one year, at control colonoscopy, caused suspicion to malignancy. Endoscopically diagnosed polipoid lesion was laparoscopically removed. The pathohistological diagnosis determined benign, submucosal, incapsulated lipoma of the sigmoid colon. Conclusion. Although lipomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare, this case clearly indicates that we should not prematurely and without histological confirmation of malignancy do more extensive resection for a suspected malignancy.

CONTEXT: Ossification in the human penis is such a rare condition that only 34 histologically evident cases have previously been reported. Among several conditions that have been correlated with this problem the most frequent is Peyronie disease. In all these conditions, human penile ossification appears to be a metaplastic bone formation process. CASE REPORT: A 59-year-old white man presented with a one-year history of slight pain upon erection and during intercourse. He also complained of hard plaque near the base of the penis. One year earlier, he had sustained blunt trauma during intercourse. Examination of the penis revealed a fixed firm mass extending over the proximal third of the penile shaft, measuring 3.0 x 3.0 x 2.0 cm and involving the corporal sponge, without surface extension. There was no impotence or other relevant clinical finding. Radiography on the penis revealed irregular calcification in the same position as the palpable mass and in the septum of the proximal inner third of the penis. The importance of this report lies in the extent of the human penile ossification, as demonstrated by the radiological and histological confirmation.

Plemorphic adenoma is a frequent benign tumor of the major salivary glands. It could also develop from accessory salivary glands. We are reporting an extremely rare case of pleomorphic adenoma developing from the infratemporal space. The final diagnosis was based on histological confirmation. The treatment was mainly a complete resection via an anterior transmaxillary approach. Diagnosis, clinical behaviour, and treatment of pleomorphic adenoma of the infra-temporal space are reviewed from the literature.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Cellular angiofibroma of the vulva is a benign tumor of mesenchymal origin in female and male genital tract composed of stromal spindle cells and mixture of adipose tissue, prominently vascular in nature. Here we present a case of recurrent cellular angiofibroma in a 27 years old young woman which was the 5th time recurrence when she presented to us. Diagnosis was confirmed by MRI, histopathology study and immunohistochemistry. With wide excision of tumor followed by GnRH analogue therapy post operatively, she is now tumour free even after 20 months of surgery.</span></p>

AbstractFibrous hamartoma of infancy is a solid benign tumor of the subcutis, which usually occurs within the first 2 years of life. It predominantly occurs in males, and is clinically presented as a solid, painless, well-limited subcutaneous formation, tending to grow, and in most cases without any symptoms. It occurs in various locations. The aim of this case report was to present a case of a rare tumor of infancy in the scrotal region, in an 8-month-old male infant, with a nonspecific clinical picture, suggestive of a malignant formation, thus presenting a diagnostic challenge for a doctor. The tumor was completely removed. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological analysis. One year after the surgical procedure, a follow-up ultrasonography examination showed no relapse.

Summary Gastric choristoma is composed of the ectopic microscopically normal cells of gastric mucosa and can be located anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Choristomas are mostly clinically silent or present with minimal symptoms and are usually dia­gnosed in adulthood. This case report presents a neonate who experienced difficulty breathing, dyspnea, orotracheal intubation and an early surgery in the postnatal period due to a specific localization and size of its tumor. Key words gastric choristoma – benign tumor – heterotophy – neonate

Ameloblastoma is a tumor of odontogenic epithelium arising from remnants of dental lamina. It is a benign tumor but locally invasive affecting mandible more than maxilla. Ameloblastomas grow into the bone and soft tissues causing facial disfigurement and facial deformities. Treatment is surgical. We present a case report of 60 year old male with swelling in jaw, biopsy revealed ameloblastoma. Anterior segmental mandibulectomy was done and reconstructed with fibular flap which restored both function and aesthetic appearance.

<p>A lipoma is a benign tumour that arises from an adipose tissue. It is the leading benign soft tissue tumour. It can occur anywhere in the human body. Lipomas in the gastrointestinal tract are quite rare and usually asymptomatic. We report a 70 years old male patient who presented with crampy abdominal pain. CT scan of the abdomen showed colo-colic intussusception. The patient was explored and the finding was colo-colic intussusception with a mass as a leading point. En-block resection done. Histology confirmed the mass as a lipoma.</p>

Pseudotumoral calcinosis is a rare benign tumor, characterized by deep calcium deposition in peri-articular soft tissues. A numerous list of calcium deposit diseases exists making the calcinosis diagnosis very challenging. There are three principal forms or etiologies; primary or idiopathic forms followed by secondary forms due to chronic renal failure or hyperparathyroidism, then genetic forms such as Hyperphosphatemic Familial Tumoral Calcinosis (HFTC). We report a case of 14-year-old boy with primary tumoral calcinosis of the right hip. Total mass resection was performed without any recurrence at one-year follow-up.
