Introduction: Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms and represent less than 1% of neoplasms among adults; 80% of these cases originate in soft tissues. The liposarcoma corresponds to 20% of the subtypes of sarcoma in adults. Objectives: To present a rare case of liposarcoma of the breast. Methods: We studied the case of A.N.R, a 54-year old male patient, from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, presenting a progressive growth nodule in the right breast. Mammography and breast ultrasound suggested lipoma. Core-needle biopsy of the nodule in the right breast was performed, and the anatomopathological was compatible with lipoma. Case report: Due to the progressive growth, the patient was submitted to nodule resection, with safety margins. Anatomopathological and immunohistochemical of the surgical piece were compatible with well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient was followed-up by the oncologist and had a staging computed thoracic and abdominal tomography without changes, thus not indicative of adjuvant treatment. Discussion: Liposarcoma presents as a painless mass, of progressive growth, being more common in extremities and the retroperitoneum. When the well-differentiated morphological subgroup is located in the extremities and the torso, its excision is curative, and its metastatic potential is null in comparison to other locations; however, it is not recommended to underestimate the risk of local recurrence. Conclusion: even though the prevalence of benign lesions in soft tissues is higher than malignant lesions, it is important to consider a differential diagnosis of malignancy when the behavior and presentation of the tumor are atypical (deep location to the muscle fascia, larger than 5 centimeters, progressive growth), therefore leading to better surgical and therapeutic planning and to a more accurate treatment for the patient.

Introduction. Liposarcoma is a rare pathological entity. By far it is the most common histological subtype of genitourinary sarcomas in adults. Approximately two hundred cases were reported in the literature. We are hereby presenting a case with a typical clinical scenario of paratesticular liposarcoma.Case report. A 75-year-old gentleman presented with a painless right hemiscrotal swelling that was progressively increasing in size over the last 6 years. Testicular tumour markers were negative. Imaging showed a heterogenous mass with fat component. Subsequently he underwent wide local excision that included the paratesticular mass along with the right testicle and all right inguinal canal contents up to the deep inguinal ring with the sparing of right illioinguinal nerve. Histopathological examination showed a well differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. He remained recurrence-free so far after 18 months of followup.Conclusion. Radical orchidectomy with wide local excision comprises the cornerstone of treatment of paratesticular liposarcoma. Due to the rarity of the disease there is no definite universal consensus of opinion as regards the role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Introduction. Primary hypopharynx involvement of small cell carcinoma is very rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx in a male patient.Case Report. A 50-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of sore throat and swellings in the right side of the neck. Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx located in the right pyriform sinus.Discussion. Small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx has no clear treatment modality due to the rarity of the disease. Systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy should have priority among the therapy regimens because of the high metastatic potential of the tumor.

ABSTRACT Aim To report on a patient with Eagle's syndrome with a complete and very large ossification of the stylohyoid complex on the right side that to our best knowledge has never been published previously. Background Eagle's syndrome is characterized by a set of symptoms that are caused by the irritation of the neurovascular and soft-tissues caused by an elongated styloid process or ossification of stylohyoid ligament. Case description Because of the high discomfort and pain degree as well as limitations of mandibular and head mobility and also the thickness of the ossified stylohyoid chain, the patient was treated surgically by removing the hypertrophic segment. Conclusion These symptoms subsided completely after the surgical excision of the anomaly. The elongated styloid process on the left side was symptom free. Clinical significance Eagle's syndrome symptoms are not specific and can mimic those of other disorders, the syndrome must be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with pain in the orofacial, pharyngeal and cervical area.

Lipomas are adipose mesenchymal neoplasms. The oral cavity is not commonly affected. representing about0.5% to 5% of all benign oral tumors. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic yellowish mass.The overlying epithelium is intact and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumour. Although benign in nature their progressive growth may cause interference with speech and mastication due to tumour’s dimension. The present report shows the case of a 52-year old male who presented with a large intraoral lipoma with extension to the right submandibular region.

Introduction: Lymph node tuberculosis is the most common extra-lung presentation of tuberculosis, responsible for 43% of peripheral lymphadenopathies in developing countries. The coexistence between lymph node tuberculosis and breast cancer is rare, ranging from 0.1% to 4.9%.Objective: To present a case of axillary lymph node tuberculosis due to its rare association with breast cancer. Methods: We have investigated the case of a 48-year-old woman from Congonhas, Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil, who presented a palpable nodule in the junction of the right upper quadrants with two years of progression, category 4B of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) on mammography and ultrasound, with core needle biopsy compatible with benignancy. No axillary lymphadenopathy was identified. Case report: The patient underwent resection of the right breast nodule with safety margins due to disagreement between biopsy and imaging tests. Anatomopathological examination was consistent with luminal B invasive ductal carcinoma, measuring 1.6 cm. The patient was submitted to sentinel lymph node biopsy using patent blue in the right axilla. Anatomopathological analysis revealed tuberculous lymphadenitis. Chest computed tomography showed pulmonary nodules. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy and tamoxifen, as well as antituberculous antibiotics, with regression of pulmonary nodules. The final staging was pT1cN0M0- IA. Discussion: Most cases of coexistence between these diseases involve tuberculous lymphadenitis with or without neoplastic lymph node involvement. Some reports indicate that the involvement by tuberculosis does not prevent neoplastic proliferation. Before starting chemotherapy, tuberculosis must be treated to avoid the immunosuppressive effect that can cause a spread of tuberculosis. Conclusion: Despite the rare coexistence of these diseases, we should not rule out this possibility, especially in endemic tuberculosis areas. Also, an accurate diagnosis prevents incorrect staging and can spare the patient from a more aggressive treatment.

Mycetomas are chronic inflammatory pseudo-tumoral lesions caused by fungal or bacterial agents developing in subcutaneous soft tissues and bone. Mycetoma is frequently located in the foot, realizing the Madura foot. We report the case of a 42-year-old male farmer, who presented two years following an injury to the plant of the right foot. He already had two excisions elsewhere with recurrence and aggravation of the swelling. He had a large painless subcutaneous swelling of his right foot with plantar sinuses discharging pale white and yellow grains. A surgical biopsy with histological study confirmed the diagnosis of mycetoma. He received an antibiotic therapy consisting in penicillin G followed by amoxicillin then an association of penicillin G and co-trimoxazole during almost three years without any improvement. A below-knee amputation was performed complicated with necrosis and infection of the stump, which was resumed twice followed by an above-knee amputation. Through this case of unusual development of a Madura foot we discuss the diagnostic and especially therapeutic difficulties of this chronic infection.

Introduction. Liposarcomas are tumors that occur mostly in the retroperitoneum. Of all liposarcomas only 3 to 7% are found in the paratesticular region. The spermatic cord is the main site of origin in these cases. The patients ages range from 50 to 60 years. This malignant disease can result in a loss of fertility aside from life-threatening sequelae.Case. We present a case of a liposarcoma of the paratesticular region. A 60-year-old man was referred with a painless mass in the scrotum and the right inguinal region. The patient underwent surgery and the mass was removed along with the right testis, the spermatic cord, and the soft tissues to the internal inguinal ring. Histopathological examination found a well-differentiated liposarcoma of80⁎80 mm. The surgical margins were negative. The adjuvant treatment consisted in radiation therapy of the right inguinoscrotal area to the dose of 54 Gray, 2 Gy per session, 5 times a week.Conclusion. Paratesticular liposarcomas are rare tumors. Surgery with large margin resections was the main treatment in all reported cases. The adjuvant treatment is still unclear especially when the surgical margins are negative. The main factor that indicated this adjuvant treatment was the size of the tumor and the histologic subtype.

Cholesteatoma is a pathological tissue that may extend into all parts of temporal bone and rarely, as this study highlights, beyond its structures. Nevertheless, the spread outside the mastoid tip into the soft tissues of the neck or parotid space is very rare. The case of 23-year-old male with right parotid mass is presented. The patient had history (2006, 2009, and 2012) of three tympanoplastics for recurrent right ear cholesteatoma. The parotid tumor was revealed incidentally in magnetic resonance imaging in January 2016, but the imaging was inconclusive. After 6 months, the patient developed right-sided facial nerve palsy. The second look of the right ear was performed with simultaneous parotid surgery. The ear was healed and free of cholesteatoma, but the parotid mass resembled the cholesteatoma confirmed later on by histological examination. The tumor extended from stylomastoid foramen. This case was unusual as the disease had extended beyond the ear with the bony parts of the mastoid being preserved. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to describe a parotid gland cholesteatoma not being an extension of a cholesteatoma present in the tympanic cavity and entering the parotid gland via stylomastoid foramen.

AbstractIn this case report we describe a rare case of chondrosarcoma of the Temporomandibular joint in a 70 years old female who presented with a right preauricular swelling, trismus and neuralgic pain. On examination, firm and tender swelling was noted in the right preauricular region. CT Scan revealed 3.48 × 3.0 cm size mass lesion in the region of mandibular condyle and extending into the right temporomandibular joint space. The cytopathological report was suggestive of chondroid malignancy. The tumor was excised and histopathological examination showed large sheets of atypical tumor cells with cartilaginous matrix and diagnosis of a well differentiated Chondrosarcoma was confirmed. Post-surgical resection, patient remains disease free at 15 months follow up.
