Adenolipoma of the breast is a rare tumor classified as a hamartomatous lesion. It is a well-circumscribed lesion composed of adipocytes and other breast tissues. The characteristic feature is a well-circumscribed mass containing radiolucent fat admixed with dense fibrous connective tissue surrounded by a thin radiopaque pseudo capsule. Microscopically, there is a mixture of ducts and lobules with adipose tissue. Ductal hyperplasia, adenosis, calcification, and apocrine metaplasia may occur within the hamartoma. These are rarely associated with malignancies and excision is considered curative. If these lesions are not detected clinically or radiologically, these remain unrecognized. Awareness of this poorly recognized benign entity would help avoid an incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary intervention. Here we present a case of a 35-year-old female diagnosed histologically as adenolipoma of the breast.

Introduction. Chondrolipomas and osteolipomas are uncommon variants of lipomatous tumors. Case report. We presented a 60-year-old woman with ossifying chondrolipoma of the tongue. Clinical examination revealed a firm nodular mass, located in the midline of the posterior region on the dorsal surface of the tongue. Histologically, the lesion was well-delimited showing areas of mature adipocytes arranged in lobules and separated by fibrous connective tissue septa, islands of mature cartilaginous tissue and osseous metaplasia. Trabeculae of lamellar bone within a fibro-fatty background were visible throughout the tumor. The cartilaginous areas merging centrally with bone formation and fatty marrow tissue were present, as well as the hematopoietic elements in the fatty marrow. The bone forming was found to be through both membranous and enchondral mechanisms. Conclusion. Ossifying chrondrolipoma with hematopoietic elements is extremely unusual lesion. This interesting entity should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of lingual lesions.

CONTEXT: Cellular angiofibroma of the vulva is a rare tumor that was first described in 1997. It occurs in middle-aged women (average age: 47 years), has small size (< 3 cm) and well-circumscribed margins. CASE REPORT: We describe a case in a 51-year-old woman whose preoperative diagnosis was confounded with Bartholin's glandular cyst. The neoplasia was well delimited and made up of three characteristic components: fusiform cells forming small fascicles, numerous blood vessels and adipose tissue interspersed between the fusiform cells. The stroma cells were positive for vimentin and negative for CD34, protein S-100, actin and desmin. The differential diagnoses for this tumor include aggressive angiomyxoma, angiomyofibroblastoma, lipoma of fusiform cells, solitary fibrous tumor, perineurioma and leiomyoma.

AbstractRenal lipoma is a very rare tumor that has only been described in about twenty cases in adults and in a single case in a child aged 2 years. This paper presents a renal lipoma in 63 year old female patient. The tumor size of 7.5×4.5 cm was located in her right kidney, clearly delineated from the surrounding kidney tissue, and histology was completely built of mature adipose tissue. This paper describes the case of a rare benign lipoma which histogenesis is yet not clearly understood.

Uterine fibroid is the commonest benign and solid tumor in female during reproductive life. Approximately 15-25 million of Indian women have affected from fibroid uterus. Histologically itis composed of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue of varying proportional. It is considered as Sul’ah (tumor) in Unani classic litretures, as Ali Ibn-e-Abbas Majusi (930-994 AD) defined it under the topic of Warm-e-Balghami; as it is a swelling filled with viscid phlegm (Balgham-e-Ghaleez).Present paper deals with a reports of a 30 years old female having uterine fibroids measuring 2.6 cm× 3.1 cm, 2.6 cm× 3.6 cm, with left ovarian cyst of 3.1 cm × 4 cm. Patient was treated with herbal formulations; Majun Dabeedul Ward ( 5 gm paste), Kanchanar Guggul (2 tablet) and Niswani (10 ml syrup) twice a day for 8 consecutive weeks as oral administration. The patient was clinically assessed fortnightly, and radiologically just after treatment. Patient has shown encouraging result in post treatment investigation of Ultrasonography and finally patients got free from uterine fibroids without operation. The drugs were found to be safe and effective in this case.

Reactive hyperplastic exophytic growth are seen in the oral mucosa due to chronic irritation by plaque, calculus, overhanging margins, trauma and dental appliances. Traumatic fibroma represents a focal benign hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue origin. Here we are reporting a case of traumatic fibroma in relation to upper right posterior teeth on right buccal mucosa in a 34 year old male.

Fibroid Uterus is the most common benign solid tumor in female. Most of fibroids situated in the body of the uterus, cervical myoma account 3% -8% of uterine myoma. Cervical myoma are uncommon in different presentation, resembling inversion of uterus, malignancy & various sizes are reported in literature. A case of big cervical fibroid polyp has been reported here. Patient presented something coming down per vagina with foul smelling discharge. On examinations there was a hugely enlarged, infected mass about 15cm x 12cm which was arising from posterior lip of the cervix & outside the introitus. As the patient was 45 years & had menorrhagia, Non Descend Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) was done without resecting the polyp priorly. Patient was discharged in good condition. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis and reported leiomyoma with areas of degeneration which was mainly composed of involuntary smooth muscle cells & fibrous connective tissue from cervix which probably expelled out as a polyp attached to posterior lip of cervix.Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.15 (2); Jul 2016; Page 65-67

AbstractBenign tumours of the tonsils are rare. Only a few cases of tonsillar lipoma have been previously reported. The case of a pedunculated polypoid lipoma of the palatine tonsil in a 44-year-old Japanese woman is presented. The ‘polyp’ was excised and an histopathological examination was carried out. The ‘polyp’ contained dilated lymphatics in the dense fibrous connective tissue beneath the overlying mucosal epithelium and below the mature fat tissue with intervening strands of fibrous tissue.

Angiomyolipoma is a benign, mesenchymal, hamartomatous lesion often described in the kidney and may be associated with tuberous sclerosis. Nasal angiomyolipoma is an extremely rare tumor with fewer than 20 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of angiomyolipoma arising in the right nasal vestibule in a 68-year-old male with mild, recurrent right-sided epistaxis, and nasal obstruction. With the exception of arterial hypertension, the patient did not have any comorbidities. Gross examination showed a well-circumscribed, lobulated mass. On the microscopic level, it was composed of mature smooth muscle cells, thick-walled blood vessels of varying sizes, and islands of mature adipose tissue. Angiomyolipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis for unilateral nasal masses, especially those situated in the nasal vestibule.

Fibroma is a benign tumor of fibrous connective tissue. Fibromas represent inflammatory state rather than neoplastic conditions, which  are mostly sessile or slightly pendunculated with a smooth contour, pale pink and are  firm in consistency, which commonly  occurs on gingiva, tongue, buccal mucosa and palate. Cinical, radiographic and histopathologic data combined with surgical findings are though essential, but it requires further studies to determine the exact nature of such fibromatous lesions. A multidisciplinary approach is needed in the management of ffibrtous lesions, so as to minimize its recurrence and to improve the quality of life, providing better  functioning and esthetics.JCMS Nepal. 2016;12(1):36-9.
