Neurofibroma is benign tumor of nerve tissue origin derived from the cells that constitute the neural sheath. Neurofibroma usually occur on skin and is rare in the oral cavity. In the literature intraoral neurofibromas are reported in 7% of the cases. Clinically neurofibroma appears as discrete, nonulcerated nodule or diffuse mass of tissue which tend to be of the same color as the normal mucosa. Neurofibroma is usually asymptomatic, but sometimes pain and paresthesia may be associated with it. Clinically intraoral neurofibromas resemble many other soft tissue lesions. Hence, recognizing and diagnosing intraoral neurofibromas is necessary for careful planning of conservative treatment and follow up to rule out intraosseous extension and malignant transformation. Surgical excision with regular follow up is the treatment of choice. Here in we present a rare case of neurofibroma occurring on gingiva along with brief review of literature.

Lipomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin (mature adipocytes) that are comparatively uncommon in the oral cavity corresponding to less than 4.4% of all benign oral soft tissue tumors. Clinically, they present as slow growing, soft, asymptomatic masses. Histopathologically, they appear as thinly encapsulated lesion composed of mature adipocytes with inconspicuous vascularity. The pathogenetic mechanisms of oral lipomas are still unclear. They are usually treated by surgical excision and bear excellent prognosis. Here we report a case of intraoral lipoma in 54 year old male patient in the left lower lingual alveolar mucosal region that was treated by surgical excision using electrocautery without any postsurgical complication. One-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence.

Nasopharyngeal glial heterotopias is an extremely rare, nonhereditary, developmental malformation manifesting as a mass composed of mature neural tissue with no intracranial continuity. Glial heterotopia is a rare, non-neoplastic, extracranial midline malformation. Nasal glioma is the most frequently encountered entity among congenital nasal masses. Cases which are associated with intracranial extension are termed as encephalocele. It must be considered in the differential diagnosis of airway obstruction in neonates. Magnetic resonance imaging is mandatory to rule out intracranial extension. We report a rare case of heterotopic brain tissue in nasopharynx with no intracranial extension to attract attention to the diagnostic workup of nasopharyngeal obstruction in a neonate with respiratory distress. Clinical examination and radiological studies are diagnostic while early surgical excision and histopathological confirmation is the gold standard. This baby underwent complete intranasal endoscopic excision of mass on day 20 of life. The postoperative course was uneventful and the baby is growing well on follow-up. This case would be one of the few cases reported from India.

Carotid body tumour (CBT) is one of the most common jugular paraganglioma involving the carotid body chemoreceptors. We report the case of a 22 year young man who presented with complain of large painless progressive swelling in right upper neck for 3 years duration. On examination, swelling appeared pulsatile and arising from carotid vessel. MRI Neck and MRA performed revealed large well defined hypervascular mass lesion encasing right common carotid artery, its bifurcation and ECA, with feeders from ECA. Patient was undertaken for surgical excision (Shamblin Grade-III) through exposure in neck, extended by midline sternotomy and mandibulotomy approach, tumour was completely dissected. Patient recovered well from surgery without any sequale. HPE revealed CB paraganglioma. At two years follow up, he is recurrence free. The surgical removal of CBT has a good result.

Synovial Sarcoma (SS) is a rare and aggressive sarcoma that usually occurs around the knee joint; it rarely involves the hand. Joint involvement by SS is extremely rare. We report a case of wrist intraarticular SS presenting with chronic wrist pain. The patient underwent surgical excision alongside with local radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After 24 months of follow up, there was no recurrence or metastasis. Intraarticular SS should be in a differential diagnosis list of chronic wrist pain even though it is extremely rare.

Gingival enlargement is a clinical condition that has been directly associated with specific local or systemic conditions. Pregnancy has been considered an attributing factor which increases the susceptibility to gingival enlargement. It is also considered as a risk factor for periodontitis because of its ability to allow proliferation of specific microorganisms and affect host immunological response. This paper presents a rare case report of capillary hemangioma on attached gingiva of anterior maxilla in an adult female which initiated when she was in her 10th week of gestation. After parturition, gingival enlargement further progressed and caused functional and aesthetic problem. Enlargement did not resolve even after non-surgical therapy; therefore, surgical excision of the entire enlargement was preformed. Histopathological examination revealed capillary hemangioma. No evidence of malignancy was seen. No recurrence was seen even after 2 years of follow-up.

Fibrolipoma is one of the rare variants of the lipoma, and very few cases have been reported in the thigh. These lesions are generally painless, but can grow to large size due to malignant transformation to liposarcoma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The prognosis is generally good as recurrence rate is very less if adequate excision is done. In old age patient, risk of malignant transformation is very high leading to early excision. Here, we present a case of fibrolipoma in thigh in 57 year old female and its further management.

Abstract Background: Testicular hemangioma is a extremely rare and typically occurs in childhood or adolescence. It is a benign tumor that appears as a slowly growing painless mass.Case presentation: We herein present the case of a 3 year-old male patient with testicular hemangioma accompanying hydrocele, who underwent surgical resection.Conclusions: This article discusses the diagnosis and currently available treatment options of testicular hemangioma. It also can be provide clinical experiences for urologist in face of similar situation.

ABSTRACT Background Cellular angiofibromas are rare benign mesenchymal neoplasms characterized by spindle cell component and numerous small vessels. They are commonly well-circumscribed, localized in the superficial soft tissues. The lesion is more frequently seen in the inguinoscrotal or vulvovaginal regions and occurs equally in men and women, and rarely involves oral cavity. Due to its clinical and histological similarity with other mesenchymal tumors, such as angiomyoma, hemangioma, lymphangioma and hemangiopericytoma, angiofibroma presents a diagnostic dilemma. Case report Very few cases of angiofibroma involving maxillofacial region have been reported in the literature. This case report involves cellular angiofibroma involving left buccal mucosa in a 23-year-old female patient. Following detailed clinical examination, radiological interpretation and histopathological diagnosis, surgical excision was performed. The patient was followed-up on a regular basis and was disease free. Summary and conclusion Benign angiofibroma involving oral cavity is a rare tumor. There is a close resemblance of this tumor with other mesenchymal lesions and, thus, faces a diagnostic challenge. Surgical excision with a long-term followup gives good prognosis to this lesion—benign cellular angiofibroma. How to cite this article Bokhari K, Manikandan L, Mohammad A, Shahul M, Bagi MA, Kota Z.
