Glomus tumor is a rare condition and constitutes only 1 % of all soft tissue tumor of body. Glomus tumor is familiar for its unusual presentation and long standing symptoms due to delay in diagnosis. Authors have presented the clinical behavior and treatment of 7 patients with subungual soft tissue mass. Following surgical excision, all patients cured of symptoms, at the end of follow up, no recurrence occurred; post operative nail deformity was insignificant.

We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with left nasal obstruction. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the presence of a soft-tissue mass that had obliterated the left nasal cavity. The mass was completely excised via an endoscopic approach. Histopathologic examination identified the tumor as an ossifying fibrosarcoma. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained free of disease at the 2-year postoperative follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, no case of an ossifying fibrosarcoma of the nasal cavity has been previously reported in the English-language literature. We discuss the features of this case and the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of fibrosarcomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Background: Bursitis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the deposition of cholesterol, macrophage infiltration, and bursal wall calcification. Bursitis is, however, rarely found in the sacrococcygeal region where it may present as a space-occupying mass. Case Description: A 64-year-old male with rheumatoid arthritis presented with 3 years’ duration of difficulty sitting and walking due to a soft-tissue mass involving the coccyx region. Once the patient’s MR demonstrated a cystic lesion with erosion of the coccyx, the patient underwent gross total resection of the lesion that proved to be pathologically consistent with bursitis. Postoperatively, the patient’s complaints fully resolved. Conclusion: Bursitis may present as a soft-tissue tumor-like lesion in the coccyx that favorably responds to gross total surgical excision.

Introduction. A glomus tumor is a benign vascular tumor derived from glomus cells and occurs mainly in the subcutaneous layer of the subungual or digital pulp. Extradigital glomus tumors have been reported within the palm, wrist, forearm, foot, bone, stomach, colon, cervix, and mesentery. Glomus tumors can originate from the intraosseous, intramuscular, periosteal, intravascular, and intraneural layers. However, a glomus tumor originating from the intravascular layer of the forearm is a rare condition.Case Report. A 44-year-old woman had a 7-year history of chronic pain and focal tenderness of the forearm. No hypersensitivity or sensory alterations were observed. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass measuring 5 × 3 × 2 mm leading to a vein. Surgical excision was performed, and the tumor was completely resected. Finding of gross examination revealed a dark-red, well-defined soft tissue tumor, and histologic examination confirmed that the mass was a glomus tumor. The patient’s symptoms were completely resolved postoperatively.Conclusion. Intravascular glomus tumors rarely occur in the forearm; therefore, a thorough physical exam, comprehensive medical history, in-depth imaging, and early surgical excision upon clinical suspicion may be helpful to prevent a delayed or incorrect diagnosis.

Accessory soleus muscle is an uncommon anatomical variant that may present as a soft-tissue mass in the posteromedial region of the ankle. It is congenital in origin but usually presents in the second or third decade of life. Although it is a rare entity, accessory soleus muscle should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue swelling of the ankle. Awareness of the clinical presentation and specific findings of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and electromyography help with diagnosis without surgical exploration. We describe a 30-year-old patient with accessory soleus muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging features of the case are described, and the literature is briefly reviewed.

Infantile fibrosarcoma is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm, which may render a diagnostic challenge leading to misdiagnosis and consequently an inappropriate treatment of patients. This study reports a case of infantile fibrosarcoma that mimicked a hemangioma in an 11-month-old girl. As the lesion signal in the MRI was not consistent with the diagnosis of hemangiomas, we performed a core needle biopsy, which its result was consistent with the diagnosis of infantile fibrosarcoma. The lesion was initially treated with surgical resection. However, the lesion recurred one year after the surgery. The recurrence was managed with debulking surgery. The fifth finger was necrotized during the hospitalization after the relapse surgery. Finally, the necrotic finger was amputated. Also, adjuvant chemotherapy was used to prevent further relapses. The 1-year follow-up of the patient was recurrence-free. These findings highlight the importance of considering infantile fibrosarcoma when an infant presents with a lesion that clinically mimics a vascular lesion.

AbstractHere, the authors describe a case of 25-year-old man diagnosed with dural plasmacytoma involving calvarium with soft tissue extension. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extra-axial heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass lesion in the left parieto-occipital region with a dural tail mimicking meningioma, destroying the left parietal bone, and bulging into the scalp. Mass was excised and histopathologic examination revealed plasmacytoma with amyloid deposition. There is no recurrence after postoperative radiotherapy and 2 years of follow-up, although the future course is still not certain. The clinician should consider alternative diagnosis other than meningioma prior to proceeding to surgery if the dural-based lesion is involving calvarium and soft tissue extension.

Testicular Seminoma

Perivascular Epithelioid Cell tumour (PEComa) is rare. We describe a 39-year-old man who underwent a left radical orchidectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy for a stage IA classical testicular seminoma. He was diagnosed with a mass lateral to the right common iliac artery that was considered suspicious for late lymph node relapse after 3 years of follow-up. Due to the unusual location of the mass and the equivocal findings of percutaneous biopsy, a laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. Final pathology revealed PEComa of soft tissue. The patient is disease free after 38 months of follow-up without adjuvant treatment. The presence of rare soft-tissue neoplasm should be considered in differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses during follow-up of germ cell tumours. Suspicious isolated recurrences of these neoplasms in unusual locations can require surgical excision to confirm diagnosis and avoid inappropriate treatment.

Gardner fibroma (GF) is a benign soft-tissue tumor that is associated with Gardner syndrome and can progress to, or co-occur with, desmoid fibromatosis (DF). Herein, we report a unique case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with a rapidly growing soft-tissue mass after biopsy of a stable fat-rich lesion present in the calf muscles since infancy, with Magnetic resonance imaging findings suggesting an intramuscular adipocytic tumor. The resection showed GF and DF. DF arising from a preexisting GF (the so-called “GF-DF sequence”) is a well-documented phenomenon. Although immunohistochemistry was negative for nuclear β-catenin expression, a CTTNB1 S45F mutation, which has been associated with aggressive behavior in DF, was identified in both components using a next-generation sequencing-based molecular assay. This is the first time a mutation in CTNNB1 has been identified in GF and the GF–DF sequence, thus expanding our knowledge of the molecular pathogenesis of the GF–DF sequence and highlighting the role of molecular testing in pediatric soft-tissue tumors. The histologic findings of an adipocyte-rich intramuscular GF also are unique, expanding the morphological spectrum of GF and adding GF to the differential diagnosis of intramuscular lesions with an adipocytic component.

Background: In the fingertips, the glomus tumors usually involve the subungual areas with typical triad symptoms including pain, tenderness to palpation, and cold sensitivity. The glomus tumor of volar aspect of digits is rare.   Case Presentation: A case of glomus tumor was presented at the volar side of the distal phalanx of the ring finger of a 52-year-old woman. The tumor was painful and tender to palpation, yet insensitive to cold. The atypical location and insensitivity to cold led to a 4-year delay in diagnosis. After the surgical excision of the lesion, the extracted mass was sent for histologic evaluation and the diagnosis of glomus tumor was confirmed. One-year follow-up of the patient was event-free.   Conclusions: Atypical glomus tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of finger pain, even in the absence of characteristic diagnostic features.
