Ganglioneuroma is a very rare benign tumor growing from the vegetative, autonomic nervous system. It grows from the central or peripheral part. We describe cervical ganglioneuroma in a 38-year-old man growing in the C7/Th1 foramen area on the right before the fibers enter the ganglion stellatum. It is a non-dumbbell shaped tumor growing between ganglion stellatum and ganglion cervicale. Treatment is resection with total tumor excess. Complete surgical resection is a very effective therapy. The relapse of the tumor is not described in literature studies. Similar type of this case has been described only once in literature and reviewed from anglophone literature, which is selected with the exclusion of neurofibromatosis and with localization in the neck area [1].

Abstract Background: Schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of peripheral nerves arising from Schwann cells of the ubiquitous nerve sheath. Objective: To describe the operative steps and technical aspects of robotic laparoscopic resection of pelvic schwannoma. Methods: We describe 2 patients with pelvic schwannoma: a 34-year-old woman with schwannoma of the right lumbosacral trunk and a 58-year-old woman with schwannoma of a left S1 nerve. Pain was the main symptom in both patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and nerve biopsies. Both patients were operated on by robotic laparoscopy. Results: Lesions were totally enucleated after incising the epineurium. After dissection of the schwannoma, the vascular pedicle and nerve fascicles involved were identified, coagulated, and then sectioned. The remaining fascicles of the nerve were preserved. The postoperative course was uneventful in both patients. With follow-up of 9 and 13 months, both patients obtained complete pain relief with no neurological sequelae. Conclusion: Robotic laparoscopic resection of pelvic nerve tumors such as schwannomas is technically feasible.

Introduction : The odontogenic myxoma is a rare benign tumor of the maxilla, whose clinical and radiological manifestations are variable and nonspecific and can be confused with other radiolucent lesions. Its origin would be the embryonic mesenchyme of the dental follicle.Case report : We report the case of odontogenic myxoma of the right maxilla, discovered by chance in a 25 year old patient. Clinically, the patient had painless, firm on palpation, swelling of the right maxilla, impeding chewing and speech. Facial CT-scan showed an expansive osteolytic process blowing the right maxilla off. A biopsy was in favor of an odontogenic myxoma. The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological and especially anatomopathological arguments.Conclusion : The local aggressiveness of the odontogenic myxoma and its high rate of recurrence justify a radical treatment beyond the lesion’s boundaries and thus imply a postoperative repair.

Plexus Papilloma

Abstract The authors report the successful total removal of a rare intracranial tumor in the right lateral ventricle of a 15-year-old girl with epileptic seizures. Histopathological examination showed a benign tumor formed by mature cartilage and choroid plexus papilloma. From our review of the literature, a mixed tumor with these histological features has not been reported previously in this location. The diagnosis, surgical approach, etiology, and prognosis of this lesion are discussed.

Rare Benign Tumor

We report a rare case of a parotid oncocytoma in a 63-year-old woman. It is a rare benign tumor accounting for less than 1.5% of all salivary gland tumors. It is known as the parotid mitochondrioma because it is made of cells rich in mitochondria with granular cytoplasm. It is a rare entity poorly documented in the literature, and there are no pathognomonicsymptoms or imaging, which makes the diagnosis of this tumor challenging.Surgery is the main treatment, and the diagnosis is confirmed by the histological study of the specimen. Through this observation, and in light of the literature, we will underline the anatomoclinical and radiological peculiarities of this tumor, to induce clinicians to consider this histological type.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is the most common type of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. JXG is a rare benign tumor, which may be present at birth or develop later. The classical form of JXG is characterized by a red-yellowish benign papule or nodule with predilection sites on the head, neck, and trunk, although lesions can appear on extremities or extracutaneous sites. In most cases there is only one lesion, whereas numerous papules or nodules may occur. Special forms of JXG such as mixed, giant, subcutaneous, eruptive, clustered, and plaque-like have been reported and associations between JXG and systemic diseases have been made. Diagnosis mainly relies on the clinical appearance, and histology usually can confirm the disease. Here we present a very rare case of symmetrical giant facial plaque-type juvenile xanthogranuloma (SGFP-JXG) and compare it with classical JXG, variations of JXG, and discuss the differential diagnosis. A 4-year-old Caucasian female presented with plaque-like lesions composed of yellowish confluent papules on both the cheeks. The histological evaluation revealed a histiocytic lesion with a formation of Touton giant cells and immunohistochemistry results confirmed the diagnosis of the SGFP-JXG. In comparison to classical JXG, the onset of SGFP-JXG sometimes occurs later and the spontaneous resolution period may be prolonged. No associated diseases and no systemic involvements were observed. Histopathology is required to differentiate this form of JXG from other histiocytosis. To the best of our knowledge, only four cases of SGFP-JXG have been reported in the literature so far.

Sertoliform cystadenoma is a rare benign tumor of the rete testis with 8 previously reported cases and an additional 14 cases reported in an abstract form. It usually presents with a unilateral scrotal mass, clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from malignant testicular tumors. We report a 39-year-old man who presented with a right testicular mass. The patient underwent radical inguinal orchiectomy. Grossly, no masses were appreciated. After histologic examination with subsequent immunohistochemical staining, a sertoliform cystadenoma of the rete testis was diagnosed.

Rare Benign Tumor

An aneurysmal bone cyst is a very rare benign tumor of the ribs. It mainly involves the long bones and vertebrae, and requires histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis. We present a case of large aneurysmal bone cyst of the left 6th rib in young adult male. The diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst should be kept in mind in young patients presenting with an expansile lytic lesion of the rib, because it has an excellent outcome after complete surgical resection.

Sebaceous lymphadenoma (SLA) is a rare benign tumor of the salivary gland that commonly arises in the parotid gland in adults. It is rarely diagnosed correctly preoperatively. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, SLA has not been described yet in the literature in association with Cowden's syndrome (CS). We present an extremely rare case of parotid SLA that was diagnosed preoperatively by fine needle aspiration in a patient with CS.

Introduction: The infraorbital schwannoma or neuroma is a rare benign tumor of the orbit. Its clinical and radiological presentation is not very specific. Its diagnosis is essentially histological. Observation: We report the case of a 46-year-old woman, diabetic under treatment, consulting for an irreducible, non-axial and non-pulsatile exophthalmos. Clinical examination of the left eye found visual acuity corrected to 8/10 without limitation of ocular motility or diplopia. The examination of the right eye is unremarkable.The orbital CT objectified a mass measuring 25.3mm × 13.8mm, homogeneous of the floor of the left orbit, pushing the eyeball up and out. The orbital floor was pushed inferiorly by the mass however, its integrity was preserved. Tumor excision was performed via the sub-ciliary cutaneous incision with reconstruction of the floor by an iliac crest graft. The histological analysis allowed us to have a definite diagnosis of schwannoma. Conclusion:The schwannoma is a rare tumor of the orbit. Its diagnosis is established solely by anatomopathological study of the operative specimen. Its treatment is based on a complete surgical excision to avoid any recurrence.
