DFSP is a soft tissue malignant tumor the diagnosis of which is often delayed because of its nonspecific clinical features in early stages of disease. A few clinical investigations have detected several useful diagnostic parameters, including delicate pigmented network, vessels, structureless light brown areas, shiny white streaks, pink background coloration, and structure less poor depigmented areas. In particular, the combination of unfocused vessels with reticulate pigmentation has been suggested as a more distinct pattern of DFSP compared with other skin tumors. The detection of these dermoscopic features could be particularly useful on black skin to recognize DFSP early and to distinguish it from keloids.

Introduction. Primary osteosarcoma of the breast is a rare soft-tissue form of osteosarcoma without involvement of the skeletal system. Due to the rarity of the disease, its clinical features and optimal treatment remain unclear.Case Presentation. This case report deals with a 62-year-old woman with pure osteosarcoma of the breast.Conclusions. The prognosis of primary osteosarcoma of the breast is poor. Recurrence is frequent, and it is often associated with haematogenous spread of the disease to the lung. Treatment follows the model of sarcomas affecting other locations and must be planned in a multidisciplinary fashion. Adjuvant chemotherapy should be considered for patients with tumors showing aggressive features.

Case Presentation

Poroid hidradenoma is a benign soft-tissue neoplasm with eccrine differentiation. It is the newest addition to a group of neoplasms known as poromas. Although it becomes malignant in less than 1% of cases, its histologic characteristics may resemble those of malignant neoplasms; thus it is easily misdiagnosed. Twenty-one percent of poroid hidradenomas occur in the extremities. The histologic and clinical features of this tumor are presented here, along with a case report.

Cell Tumor

Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is an extremely rare tumor that is similar in morphology and immunohistochemistry to giant cell tumor of the bone. Almost 80% of these tumors occur in the upper and lower extremities, and the breast is a very rare location. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old female patient with a small mobile palpable lump in the left breast. Although the left breast tumor was considered malignant on preoperative imaging, no evidence of malignant tumor was found by ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (CNB). Subsequently, the left breast tumor was confirmed as a malignant tumor by intraoperative rapid pathological examination. The initial treatment of the tumor was wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy, and it was confirmed to be GCT-ST by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Despite surgical treatment achieving clear surgical margins, the patient experienced lung metastases within a year of her initial treatment. Fortunately, the patient underwent surgical treatment of lung metastases, and at the last follow-up, the patient was still alive. This is the first case of a primary soft tissue tumor of the breast that has undergone surgical intervention after lung metastasis. This case report highlights the complexity of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GCT-ST arising from the breast. Surgery may be another good treatment when the patient develops lung metastases.

Nasoalveolar cysts, which originate from epithelial remnants of nasolacrimal duct, are nonodontogenic soft tissue lesions of the upper jaw. These cysts are thought to be developmental and are presented with fullness in the upper lip and nose, swelling on the palate, and sometimes nasal obstruction. Because of cosmetic problems, they are often diagnosed at an early stage. These lesions are mostly revealed unilaterally but also can be seen on both sides. In this case report, a patient who complained of nasal obstruction and then diagnosed with bilateral nasoalveolar cysts and treated by sublabial excision is presented and clinical features and treatment approaches are discussed with the review of literature.

Abstract Objective: This report describes a case of a monophasic synovial sarcoma that was initially misdiagnosed as an infantile hemangioma in a 3-month-old female infant. We also discuss the basic elements of evaluating a soft-tissue mass and important radiological and clinical features that should raise the index of suspicion for a synovial sarcoma. Summary Background Data: Synovial sarcoma is a rare pathology that is often challenging to diagnose due to its similarities with more common vascular lesions that occur in infancy. Infantile hemangioma, in particular, is common, has distinctive clinical and radiological findings, and is frequently diagnosed without histological confirmation. This increases the risk of misdiagnosis of rare tumors in infancy. Case Report: A 3-month-old female infant presented with a soft-tissue mass on the left forearm. Physical examination showed a well-defined, subcutaneous mass on the left forearm, measuring approximately 3 cm × 5 cm, firm in consistency, with no cutaneous involvement and normal skin coverage. Imaging suggested an infantile hemangioma but, due to the atypical presentation, a trial of beta-blocker therapy was conducted to confirm the diagnosis. The patient showed no clinical response to beta-blocker therapy, and therefore an incisional biopsy was performed. Using histopathology, the tumor was diagnosed as a monophasic synovial sarcoma.Conclusions: We highlight a rare presentation of a synovial sarcoma in a neonate and caution against making a diagnosis without histopathologic analysis. Clinicians should include sarcoma in the differential diagnosis when assessing a mass in neonates, as early diagnosis and intervention can reduce morbidity and mortality.MINI ABSTRACT A 3-month-old infant presented with a left forearm soft-tissue mass, initially diagnosed as infantile hemangioma. Biopsy revealed a monophasic synovial sarcoma. We discuss the basic elements of evaluating a soft-tissue mass and important radiological and clinical features that should raise the index of suspicion for a synovial sarcoma.

 Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of muscular origin. It comprises the most common soft tissue tumor in children accounting for approximately 5-8% of childhood cancers. Here we present a case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 13-year male child who was referred for ultrasonic examination (USG) to the department of radiology for evaluation of right scrotal swelling with pain for few months. Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare non germ cell tumor of scrotal sac in children and young adult/teens which can invade testis at presentation. We review the epidemiology, histology, clinical presentation, staging and prognosis of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma and discuss the role of radiology in their management.

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of soft tissue. Because angiosarcoma originates from endothelial cells, it can occur in any organ and shows aggressive clinical features. Most commonly, angiosarcoma initially presents as a cutaneous lesion. Lung metastasis from scalp angiosarcoma can develop pneumothorax. We report a case of multiorgan involvement of an angiosarcoma, including the scalp, initially presenting with hydropneumothorax. Immunohistochemistry analysis of the cells obtained from the study confirmed the pleural invasion of the angiosarcoma.

Ectodermal dysplasia is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorder affecting two or more ectodermally derived tissues such as skin, hair, nails, eccrine glands and teeth. The disorder is of two types: Hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia/Christ seimens –Touraine syndrome and Hydrotic ectodermal dysplasia/clousten syndrome. Commonly associated signs include hypohidrosis, anomalous dentition, onychodysplasia, hypotrichosis. Multidisciplinary approaches are required for optimal treatment3. Here, we present two cases of 19 and 13 year old male siblings who were diagnosed with the disorder based upon their clinical features. Key Words: ectodermal dysplasia, hypodontia; anomalous dentition.
