Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson’s tumor is a rare benign vascular pathology. It mainly affects the lower limbs and is not related to the gender or age of the patients. Evaluation by clinical history and imaging exams can be confused with other soft tissue tumors. The purpose of this article is to describe a case attended at a university hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil. In the present study, the authors report a case of a 54-year-old male patient with the presence of nodulation on the back of the right foot. After inconclusive biopsy, the treatment of choice was surgical resection of the tumor with free margins. Anatomopathological study of the surgical specimen was compatible with Masson’s tumor. A 6-month follow-up did not show any recurrence of the lesion. With this case, the authors wish to highlight this pathology among the differential diagnoses for soft tissue tumors.

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.

AbstractClinicians are commonly faced with patients presenting with a solitary palpable soft tissue mass. Most soft tissue lesions are benign, and not every mass is due to a neoplastic process. Many pathologies can mimic a malignant tumor. Despite appropriate clinicoradiologic assessment, these lesions can be mistaken for a soft tissue sarcoma and can lead to multiple investigations or an intervention, inconveniencing patients and leading to an increased health care cost. With the relevant clinical history, clinical examination, and specific imaging characteristics, the diagnosis can be narrowed. We present a pictorial review of soft tissue sarcoma mimics with guidance on appropriate differential diagnoses.

Abstract Lipoblastomas are rare soft tissue tumors that predominantly affect the pediatric population. We describe a lipoblastoma of the right hand in a 16-month-old boy. Radiographically the tumor appeared large but fairly well circumscribed and composed primarily of fat. Pathologic evaluation revealed variably sized lobules of adipose tissue and myxoid immature mesenchymal tissue separated by prominent fibrous trabeculae. Cytogenetic analysis showed a clonal chromosomal rearrangement with a breakpoint involving chromosome 8q11.2, confirming the diagnosis of lipoblastoma and thus helping to expand the clinicopathologic spectrum of tumors in this diagnostic category.

Liposarcomas are common malignant soft-tissue tumors, which come from primitive mesenchymal cells and differentiate into adipose tissue. These tumors are more commonly found in lower limbs and retroperitoneal region but also reported in pharynx, lung, liver, digestive tract, diaphragm, as well as in the spermatic cord. We reported a case of primary orbital myxoid liposarcoma in a 20-year-old female patient presented with a painless proptosis of the right eye. The mass was pathologically diagnosed as a myxoid liposarcoma. The tumor recurred in 9 months after surgical intervention. The second surgery was performed and followed by postoperative local radiotherapy. No recurrence has been reported after one year of follow-up. We highlighted the role of CT and MRI findings in the tumor diagnosis and the importance of local radiotherapy after surgery.

A 30-year old woman was referred to our center because of suspicion of a primary lung tumor of the right upper lobe. Histological examination of the lung lesion revealed lung metastasis of a previously treated alveolar soft part sarcoma of the musculus vastus medialis of the right femur, which was resected 20 years ago. Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that occurs most often in the soft tissue of lower limbs. It is a slow-growing malignant soft tissue tumor arising in muscle tissue, usually in young adults. Due to pleural and extensive mediastinal infiltration with bilateral lung metastases, a systemic treatment with chemotherapy doxorubicin and ifosfamide was initiated. Late metastases from previously treated alveolar part sarcoma should be considered in patients with suspicious lung lesions even if surgical treatment was performed a long time ago.

Background: Mantle cell lymphomas are aggressive, mature B-cell neoplasms characteristically showing overexpression of cyclin D1. Although lymphadenopathy is the most common presentation, involvement of extranodal sites including bone marrow, peripheral blood, liver, gastrointestinal system, and Waldeyer ring is also seen frequently. Soft tissue localization is extremely rare. It has blastoid and pleomorphic subtypes associated with aggressive course. Case description: We describe a 74-year-old man who had been diagnosed 3 years previously with “mantle cell lymphoma-blastoid type” and presented 3 months ago with a giant mass in the right lower extremity that enlarged rapidly up to 15 cm in a few months. Conclusion: We present this rare presentation, which was evaluated in favor of hemangioma before biopsy, together with the data in the literature to emphasize the need for differential diagnosis, especially in cases with a clinical history.

AbstractAt the age of 4 months, an infant was presented to us with a nodular subcutaneous tumor on the right thumb measuring 2cm, already seen prenatally via ultrasound. An MRI in sedation performed at the age of 4.5 months had no diagnostic specificity. By a biopsy at the age of 5 months malignancy could be excluded. Finally at the age of 16 months the tumor which had meanwhile grown to a monstrous size (5 cm of diameter) could be entirely removed by microsurgical technique maintaining the integrity of all intrinsic structures. The diagnosis of myxoid lipoblastoma was confirmed. According to literature, Lipoblastomas often present as connatal rapid growing soft tissue tumors and are benign. Total removal is essential for avoiding a local recurrence.

Abstract Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), otherwise known as Masson’s tumor, is a benign lesion of the skin with no known malignant transformations reported. It is considered a non-neoplastic lesion, as it is reactive to some vascular insult, usually a thrombus in a vein leading to vascular endothelial cell proliferation. Masson’s tumor typically presents as a slow-growing, indolent lesion commonly affecting the head, neck and arms with a female predominance. It comprises ~2% of all malignant and non-malignant vascular tumors of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. We are presenting the first case of Masson’s tumor of the right medial canthal subcutaneous tissue, masquerading as dacryocystitis.

BACKGROUND: Aortic thrombosis in neonates is a rare phenomenon, and in most cases iatrogenic. An early recognition of the clinical features and an immediate intervention can offer a better prognosis, and thus preventing morbidity such as limb amputation, and even mortality. METHODS: We present two cases of full-term newborns with a thrombosis of the abdominal aorta hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech in 2017 and 2019. RESULTS: The two patients presented swelling and cyanotic lower limbs. Doppler ultrasound revealed a pathological lower limb blood flow as a result of a thrombosis of the abdominal aorta. Both patients underwent an anticoagulant therapy, the first one benefited from a surgical thrombectomy, he developed a reperfusion syndrome with alveolar hemorrhage, and passed away as a result of a cardiorespiratory arrest. However the second patient got amputated of the right foot, his clinical evolution was favorable with a good healing of the surgical wound without recurrence of any thrombosis. CONCLUSION: Through those cases clinicians should be aware of the first clinical signs of this condition in order to offer a rapid and successful management.
