Masson’s tumor is a rare, benign, vascular lesion, commonly affecting the head, neck and peripheries. It is usually asymptomatic and can be confused with malignant tumors. We report a 56-year-old male who presented with a solitary swelling in the right side of neck which was clinically diagnosed as a benign cystic lesion, hence complete excision of the lesion was done. Histopathology demonstrated the papillary proliferation of endothelial cells, in favour of Masson’s tumor.

Masson’s tumor, also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is a rare, benign vascular tumor characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells with papillary formations. Differential diagnosis between IPEH and angiosarcoma is important because both have microscopic similarity. Herein, we report a rare case of IPEH on the right lateral neck of a 50-year-old female presenting with a neck mass, which was completely removed without complication.

<p>Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour which is composed of mature adipocytes. This is one of the most common benign neoplasms of the body. However, lipoma is uncommon in oral cavity. The etiology and pathoge­nesis of lipomas are not clear. Our case report presents a 26 year old male presenting with swelling in the right gingivo-buccal sulcus. Complete excision of the mass was done and sent for histopathological examination and histological features were suggestive of lipoma.</p>

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to report unusual, rarest and interesting case of a patient with nodular hyperplasia of Bartholin's gland with dysplastic changes. The case of a 30-year old female with right-sided Bartholin’s gland hyperplasia with dysplastic changes, which was confirmed histopathologically, is presented in this paper. The patient reported increased swelling of the right major labium when she became sexually aroused with intermittent dyspareunia during intercourse. Surgical excision of the swelling was done under general anaesthesia. Healing of the surgical scar was complete and she reported no any discomfort or dyspareunia during sexual intercourse. Bartholin’s gland swellings with firm consistency require complete excision due to possibility of being neoplastic rather than just inflammation, cyst or obstructed gland particularly in postmenopausal women. Diagnosis of nodular hyperplasia of Bartholin’s gland with areas of dysplastic changes in the present case is of great interest and requires further investigation.

ABSTRACT Thyroglossal cyst is a congenital condition of the neck where the painless swelling is found in the midline of the neck in between the foramen cecum of tongue base and sternal notch. Condition is common in children. Thyroglossal fistula is either secondary to infection or drainage of a misdiagnosed abscess. Here we are presenting a case of thyroglossal fistula with its opening over the chest and a cord extending from the hyoid bone to the chest causing restriction of the neck movement. Thyroglossal fistula opening in the chest, i.e. over the sternum is very rare and not been reported in any literatures. Treatment of this type of thyroglossal fistula is same as other types, i.e. Sistrunk's operation, where tract along with part of the hyoid bone is to be removed to prevent recurrence. We are reporting this case for its rare occurrence. How to cite this article Rout MR, Mohanty D, Bobba K, Meta C, Karri S. Presternal Thyroglossal Fistula: A Rare Case Report.

ABSTRACT The trichoepithelioma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm which is derived from hair follicles. It is common in the face, but there are only three reports of the solitary occurrence on the nose. It is often not recognized because of its rarity, controversial classification, origin and biological potential. The objective of this paper is to present a case of solitary trichoepithelioma on the nose, histopathological examination and treatment. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a solitary lesion of nose which is confused with basal cell carcinoma. The confirmation by histopathological examination is essential.

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are very rare malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissues of tunica, epididymis or spermatic cord. They present as painless hard masses in inguinoscrotal region, and large tumors can be mistaken for testicular tumors. They can spread to retroperitoneal lymph nodes or hematogenously metastasize to lung, bones and bone marrow. Here, we report a case of Embryonal RMS with spindle cell component presenting with painless scrotal mass and lung metastasis at initial diagnosis.

Masson’s tumor or Masson’s hemangioma, more precisely termed intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is an uncommon benign vascular lesion of the skin and subcutaneous tissues which can be frequently confused with angiosarcoma. Although relatively rare, its accurate diagnosis is essential since it can clinically be similar to both benign and malignant lesions. We present a 39-year-old man with a round bulging arising from the left palm side of the hand with gradual growth in the last 5 months and on and off tenderness. The microscopic section demonstrated the papillary proliferation of endothelial cells in favor of Masson’s hemangioma, which was sufficiently treated with excision alone.

Adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma (ASC) are very rare and aggressive malignant tumors of adrenal glands containing both epithelial (carcinomatous) and mesenchymal (sarcomatous) components. ASC presents a diagnostic challenge due to its atypical symptoms and histological patterns which influence treatment.At the time of diagnosis, a large percentage of patients are already at the metastatic stage and succumb within a few months. Here, we report a case of functional sarcomatoid carcinoma in right adrenal gland in a 37-year-old female, who presented with new onset hypertension. The patient underwent right sided adrenalectomy and she was alive at the time of writing the current report.To the best of our knowledge, ASC reported in literature to date showed only few patient presented with endocrine hypersecretion and only one patient presented with both hypertension and endocrine dysfunction. So, our case is the rarest among the rare. Birdem Med J 2020; 10(1): 73-75
