Lipomas are the most common benign tumors of mesenchymal origin.Lipoma of breast is somewhat difficult to diagnose clinically because of fattyconsistency of breast. Giant lipoma is the mass of lipoma that exceeds atleast 10 cm in one dimension or weighs a minimum of 1000 gr.Only veryfew case reports giant lipoma of the breast available in literature becauserarity in size and location. Due to the fatty composition of the breast,difficulties in diagnosis, threatment, and reconstruction are oftenencountered.Presently, we have reported a case of this rare entity in 49years old female with giant tumor of the left breast that most of its mass,causing breast asymmetry and feel heavy. The operative finding: looks likelipoma between pectoralis major muscle and pectoralis minor muscle witha diameter of 31 cm and weighs 3.1 kg. After excision the tumor we need tomammoplasty.Pathology anatomy examination showed a lipoma.

The brachial plexus is a complex network of nerve tissue in the human body that has been reported to vary from person to person. We describe a very rare variation of the brachial plexus found on a routine cadaveric dissection. On the left side of the chest, we identified two lateral pectoral nerves arising from the lateral cord and innervating the pectoralis major muscle; two medial pectoral nerves (MPNs) arising from the medial cord that innervates both pectoral muscles and a communicating branch that connects the lateral and MPN. In addition, this communicating branch had a nerve that innervated the pectoralis minor muscle. Knowing the variations of branching of the pectoral nerves is critical when performing any medical procedure in the pectoral region, such as plastic breast reconstruction surgery after modified radical mastectomy in breast cancer, removal of the pectoral muscles, anesthetizing the brachial plexus, or axillary dissection.

The breast phyllodes tumor is a biphasic tumor that accounts for less than of 1% of all breast neoplasms. It is classified as benign, borderline, or malignant, and can mimic benign masses. Some recurrent alterations have been identified. However, a precise molecular classification of these tumors has not yet been established. Herein, we describe a case of a 43-year-old woman that was admitted to the emergency room for a significant bleeding from the breast skin. A voluminous ulcerative mass of the left breast and multiple nodules with micro-calcifications on the right side were detected at a physical examination. A left total mastectomy and a nodulectomy of the right breast was performed. The histological diagnosis of the surgical specimens reported a bilateral giant phyllodes tumor, showing malignant features on the left and borderline characteristics associated with a fibroadenoma on the right. A further molecular analysis was carried out by an array-Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) to characterize copy-number alterations. Many losses were detected in the malignant mass, involving several tumor suppressor genes. These findings could explain the malignant growth and the metastatic risk. In our study, genomic profiling by an array-CGH revealed a greater chromosomal instability in the borderline mass (40 total defects) than in the malignant (19 total defects) giant phyllodes tumor, reflecting the tumor heterogeneity. Should our results be confirmed with more sensitive and specific molecular tests (DNA sequencing and FISH analysis), they could allow a better selection of patients with adverse pathological features, thus optimizing and improving patient’s management.

Background: Spinal dermoid cysts are benign tumors that result from congenital or acquired ectodermal inclusions. Long segment intramedullary involvement of the spinal cord is exceedingly rare, and there are only a handful of case reports found in the literature. Case Description: A 30-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of myelopathy characterized by progressive quadriparesis and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multifocal heterogeneous intramedullary masses extending from C2 to T4 and at T12–L1 with similar intensity lesions seen within the central cord from T5 to T11 level. Following tumor decompression, she showed significant improvement in neurological function 1 month later. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a multifocal intramedullary dermoid cyst. Conclusion: Partial surgical extirpation is a reasonable treatment for long segment intramedullary dermoid cysts, particularly when the tumor capsule is adherent to critical adjacent neural tissues.

Latar belakang: Schwannoma merupakan tumor jinak yang berasal dari sel Schwann. InsidenSchwannoma aurikula sangat jarang. Sebagian besar yang terjadi adalah Schwannoma vestibular.Penatalaksanaaan dengan ekstirpasi secara in toto dapat mencegah kekambuhan.Tujuan: Melaporkansatu kasus jarang, yaitu Schwannoma aurikula yang meluas ke kanalis auditorius eksternus (KAE).Kasus: Anak laki-laki usia 3 tahun datang dengan keluhan muncul benjolan pada daun telinga kiri sejak 6bulan terakhir, yang membesar perlahan hingga menutupi liang telinga. Dilakukan ekstirpasi biopsi padamassa tumor, dengan pendekatan retroaurikula. Massa dapat dilepas secara in toto. Hasil histopatologikesan Schwannoma. Enam bulan pasca operasi tidak didapatkan kekambuhan.Metode: Penelusurankepustakaan didapatkan 5 jurnal laporan kasus yang relevan.Hasil: Dari 5 kasus, seluruhnya melakukanekstirpasi massa Schwannoma secara in toto. Terdapat 2 kasus mengunakan pendekatan transmeatal, 2kasus dengan pendekatan retroaurikula, dan 1 kasus ekstirpasi langsung pada aurikula.Kesimpulan:Schwannoma aurikula merupakan kasus yang sangat jarang. Tidak ada kecenderungan usia maupun jeniskelamin tertentu. Penanganan dengan ekstirpasi yang komplit dapat mencegah kekambuhan.Kata kunci: Schwannoma aurikula, ekstirpasi, insisi retroaurikula ABSTRACTBackground: Schwannoma is a Schwann cells benign tumors. The incidence of auricularSchwannoma is rare. The most common is vestibular Schwannoma. Treatment of choice is completesurgical excision, and recurrence is rare. Purpose: Reporting a rase case of an auricular Schwannomathat spread to external auditory canals. Case: A three years old boy presented with a swelling in the leftauricular for 6 months, which was progressively increasing and spread into external auditory canals.An excisional biopsy via postauricular was performed under general anesthesia. The mass was totallyremoved. Diagnosis was reported to be Schwannoma by histopathologic examination. There was no signsof local recurrence during a 6 months of follow-up period. Method: Search literatures for evidence found5 case report journals were relevant to our clinical question. Result: From the 5 journals, all of themopted to do total excisional removal, 2 cases by transmeatal incision, 2 cases by postauricular incision,and 1 case by direct incision of the auricular mass. Conclusion: Auricular schwannoma is a rare case.Previous case reports showed no sufficient relevance on the age and sex tendency to the occurence ofauricular Schwannoma. A complete extirpation can prevent recurrence.Key words: Auricular schwannoma, extirpation, postroauricular incision
