AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver malignancy and the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Extrahepatic spread in this type of cancer is most commonly seen in the lungs and lymph nodes and less commonly in the skeletal system. Skull metastases are exceedingly rare, with an incidence of 0.5 to 1.6% reported to date. We report a similar case of a middle-aged Asian male patient with parietal scalp swelling that was initially diagnosed as meningioma. Surgical resection was performed at a local facility. The abdominal computed tomography scan did not reveal any primary or metastatic lesion. After much deliberation, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was requested that showed multiple lesions in the liver. Metastatic scalp lesion should be considered a differential diagnosis in HCC regardless of liver symptoms.

Aplasia Cutis

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a localized congenital absence of skin with a reported incidence of 3 per 10000 live births. Most common location is the scalp. The diagnosis is made clinically. The management of the lesion depends on the size and most of them are managed conservatively but larger lesions need surgical closure. Although aplasia cutis congenita is rare, it is very important for the general pediatrician to recognize this and consider it in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions specially the lesions on the scalp. We present a newborn infant with scalp lesion which was clinically diagnosed as aplasia cutis congenita and was managed conservatively.

The Common

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular endothelial tumour with unpredictable malignant potential. The common sites involved are the lung, liver and soft tissues; with cardiac involvement being a very rare occurrence. The diagnosis of this rare vascular tumor is made by typical histopathological findings and confirmed by specific immunohistochemistry. We present a case of a patient with a long standing painless scalp lesion who presented with pulmonary symptoms and ultimately diagnosed to have metastatic cutaneous EHE involving the lungs, pericardium and right atrium.
