Benign fibrous histiocytomas are common soft tissue tumours located anywhere in the body but most commonly found in skin. These are slow growing tumours common in all races and all ages but most common age group is 20 to 49 years with female preponderance. In our case a 27-year-old female with complaints of abdominal pain underwent an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis in which a retroperitoneal tumour was diagnosed. Except for abdominal pain no other complaints were noted she was well preserved. we have done an exploratory laparotomy with excision of tumour and specimen sent for Histopathological examination in which it is confirmed as benign fibrous histiocytoma. Post-operative period uneventful and she recovered well. It is rare site for the occurrence of the histiocytoma.

Abstrak: Liposarkoma primer pada payudara termasuk salah satu tumor payudara yang sa-ngat jarang, insidennya kurang dari 1% dari semua tumor ganas payudara. Umumnya liposarkoma pada payudara jarang atau tidak menyebar ke kelenjar getah bening aksila. Gambaran histologik liposarkoma pada payudara sama dengan liposarkoma di ekstrimitas atau tubuh. Suatu liposarkoma yang sejati pada payudara ditegakkan bilamana gambaran cystosarcoma phyllodes tidak ditemukan dalam potongan-potongan  jaringan tumor. Satu kasus dilaporkan pada seorang wanita usia 49 tahun dengan tumor payudara besar. Gambaran Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma secara makroskopik menunjukkan massa multinoduler besar, warnanya bervariasi dari kuning, kuning kecoklatan bercampur coklat keabu-abuan. Mikroskopik terdiri dari 2 komponen yaitu lipogenik, menunjukkan gambaran  liposarkoma diferensiasi baik; dan nonlipogenik (dedifferentiated). Daerah dedifferentiated menunjukkan gambaran fibrosarkoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, dan liposarkoma miksoid. Daerah yang menyerupai malignant fibrous histiocytoma menunjukkan gambaran sitologik pleo-morfisme, arsitektur storiform, dan sel-sel datia. Fokus-fokus  liposarkoma miksoid telah dibuat pulasan dengan Alcian blue hasilnya positip. Kata kunci: dedifferentiated liposarcoma,  payudara.     Abstract: Primary liposarcoma of the breast belongs to very rarely found breast tumors, hav-ing an incidence of less than 1% of all malignant breast tumors. In general, this liposarcoma rarely or does not spread to axillar lymph nodes. Histopathologically, liposarcoma of the breast is similar to liposarcoma in extremities and other parts of the body. A true liposarcoma of the breast is diagnosed if there is no cystosarcoma phyllodes in the tumor tissues. We re-ported a 49-year-old female with a huge breast tumor (21x18x15cm), associated  with four lymph nodes in the ipsilateral axilla.  Histopathological examination of the tumor tissues showed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and of the four lymph nodes, as well as reactive hyperplasia with no metastase. Macroscopically, this dedifferentiated liposarcoma, appeared as large multinodular masses ranging in color from yellow to yellow-tan admixed with firm tan-gray areas. Microscopically, it consisted of two components: lipogenic, a well differen-tiated liposarcoma; and nonlipogenic, dedifferentiated one. These dedifferentiated areas showed a fibrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and mixoid liposarcoma. Areas of malignant fibrous histiocytoma looked  cytologic pleomorphisme, storiform architecture, and multinucleate cells. Foci of mixoid liposarcoma were stained with Alcian blue, and showed positive results. Key words: dedifferentiated liposarcoma, breast.

BACKGROUND: Dermatofibroma (DF) is a common benign skin tumor (Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma) that mostly affects the extremities with a tendency to occur more often in older females than males. It usually presents as a slow growing small brown dome shape papule on the extremities. DF has a chronic nature and can sometimes regresses spontaneously. Dermoscopy is essential in the evaluation of DF to help differentiate it with other skin tumors. The gold standard evaluation for diagnosis of DF is biopsy with histopathologic examination. Removal of DF is often due to cosmetic factors, with surgical excision being the preferred method for removal. DF has an excellent prognosis. CASE REPORT: We present two case reports of women with hyperpigmented nodules on the lower extremity. Dimple sign was positive. From dermoscopic study showed a pigment network and central white patch pattern. On histologic examination revealed proliferation of fibroblast such as spindle cells as a storiform pattern and hyperplastic epidermis with hyperpigmentation of the basal layer. Based on clinical features, dermoscopy and histopathological evaluation, the diagnosis of DF was established. Both patients were perform surgically excision and have a good result. CONCLUSION: Dermatofibroma is benign fibrous histiocytoma that represents one of the most common skin tumours. Nodular hyperpigmented dermatofibroma is a clinical variant of Dermatofibroma which can be treated with surgical excision with good prognosis.

<p>The fibrous histiocytoma is a soft tissue neoplasm that affects the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue, rarely is found in the oral cavity and perioral regions, and is originated from the proliferation of fibroblasts and histiocytes. The objective of this paper is to report a case of Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma in a 30-year-old male patient, complaining of a painless nodule in the tongue for about six months. With the clinical diagnostic hypotheses of Fibrous Hyperplasia or Traumatic Neuroma an excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathological examination revealed a non-encapsulated proliferation of spindle cells with some giant multinucleated cells in the periphery of the lesion.  Immunohistochemical reactions were performed, staining only for vimentin in the spindle cells and for CD68 in the multinucleated giant cells. According to these characteristics, the final diagnosis was Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma. The correct diagnosis of spindle shaped cell neoplasia must be performed with the aid of histopathological analysis and immunohistochemistry, mainly because the morphological similarities with other benign and malignant lesions. </p>

BACKGROUND: Benign fibrous histiocytoma is known to be a frequent skin tumor but its occurrence in bone remains very rare especially in pediatric population. This entity is a subject of interest also because histologically it can mimic other fibrohistiocytic lesions of bone such as non-ossifying fibroma. CLINICAL CASE: An 11-year-old patient admitted with swelling of the right thigh and intermittent pain. Radiological evaluation shows cystic lesion of the femur with a soap-bubble and a border of condensation. Histopathological examination of the biopsy sample established the diagnosis of benign fibrous histiocytoma. The patient underwent complete curettage of the lesion with bone graft. There is no recurrence 16 months after surgery. DISCUSSION: Benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare bone tumor especially in children. Histologically it can mimic non-ossifying fibroma. Thus clinical and radiological features are important to differentiate these tumors in order to choose adequate treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Benign fibrous histiocytoma is probably underestimated in pediatric population. This diagnosis should be considered in any child or teenager who presents with a non-ossifying fibroma accompanied by unexplainable pain or a rapid growing.

Ulcerative Proctitis

A 40-year old gardener was referred for ulcerative proctitis treated with topical mesalamine with rapid improvement of symptoms. Eighteen years before he had had a splenectomy for traumatic splenic rupture. At the end of 2010, he was admitted to another hospital because of abdominal pain. Computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple abdominal nodules but a definite diagnosis was not made. While being examined for the proctitis, the patient was admitted to our unit due to worsening of the abdominal pain. After another CT scan, a laparoscopy was performed: several reddish-blue nodules on the peritoneal wall were observed and biopsies were performed. Histological examination was consistent with splenosis. After the procedure, we observed an improvement in the abdominal pain. Splenosis is an acquired condition defined as autotransplantation of viable splenic tissue throughout different sites of the body. It occurs after splenic rupture via trauma or surgery. Splenosis is a benign condition that is usually found incidentally unless symptomatic. Since on radiographic examination it can mimic a neoplasia, extensive workup is usually needed. The diagnostic method of choice is nuclear scintigraphy. Splenosis usually occurs in the abdominal and pelvic cavities but patients have been described with splenosis in other intrathoracic, hepatic and subcutaneous sites. Splenosis is usually asymptomatic and treatment is not necessary. Most patients who have an exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopy for abdominal pain, such as in our patient, experience no more pain after the procedure, regardless of whether the splenic nodules have been completely removed or not. The reason for this spontaneous improvement is not known.

ABSTRACT Infection of pilo-sebacious gland or traumatic migration of epidermis to the deeper layers of the skin can lead to epidermoid cyst. Any site of the body which is lined by squamous epithelium can be the site of epidermoid cyst. We present a case of sublingual epidermoid cyst in a 14-year-old female, who presented with a slow-growing, soft, midline swelling in submental region. Cyst was excised under local anesthesia with sedation. Histopathological examination revealed a cystic wall lined by keratinizing squamous epithelium with lamellated keratin and fibrocollagenous tissue with congested blood vessels, along with subcutaneous fat and muscle bundles, which is suggestive of epidermoid cyst.

Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors. These arise from Schwann cells of the neural sheath. Intra oral region is a relatively uncommon site of these tumors. They are solitary, slow growing, smooth surfaced, usually asymptomatic, and encapsulated tumors, about 25% of all schwannomas are located in the head and neck, but only 1% show intraoral origin. A 22-year-old female came with dysphagia since, 3 years. FNAC was not feasible and so excision biopsy of the lesion was performed. Histopathology revealed schwannoma like picture and it was confirmed with diffuse S-100 positivity on immunohistochemistry. Hence, finally confirming schwannoma of the oropharyngeal region. Schwannomas can be found anywhere in the body but a quarter of all occur in the head and neck region. Intraorally its percentage is only 1% with tongue being the commonest. Pharyngeal presentations of schwannoma are rare. Schwannomas are benign tumors having excellent prognosis. Basically, this case report is important as these very rarely occur in the oropharyngeal region and it’s a must to consider them in the differential diagnosis of lesions at this site.

The Ideal

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a very rare condition in which malformed fetus is found within the body of a living twin, most commonly within the retroperitoneum. It is a parasitic fetal twin of a diamniotic, monozygotic type. It should be differentiated from teratoma by the presence of organized vertebral column and appropriately arranged other organs or limbs around it. There is no such axial arrangement in teratoma, which has also got definite malignant potential. We report a case of FIF in a 21-year-old lady who presented late with nonspecific abdominal symptoms. Preoperative diagnosis of FIF in this case was made on computed tomography, and the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with complete excision of mass. The excised mass in a sac was proven to be FIF on the basis of gross and histopathological examination. Surgical excision is the ideal treatment even teratoma being the differential diagnosis.
