The Ideal

Context: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), also known as inflammatory pseudotumor or plasma cell granuloma is a benign tumor of mesenchymal origin that can occur in different anatomical locations, but is more common in the lung and liver, being rare in the central nervous system (CNS). The main challenge when finding this type of tumor in meninges is to make the differential diagnosis with metastatic neoplastic infiltration, granulomatous and infectious diseases. The ideal treatment is complete surgical resection, not requiring other complementary therapies due to its benign behavior. Case report: This work brings the case report of a 22-year-old young man who search medical attention due to headache and after extensive investigation presented the diagnosis of myofibroblastic tumor of the meninges. Conclusion: A comprehensive review of the literature on this type of tumor was carried out in this location, but with very few cases and papers written to date.

Introduction: Lymphangioma is a sporadic benign tumor of the bladder. It is a congenital disorder and based on the size of lymphatic spaces, it is divided into 3 types of capillary, cavernous, and cystic. Case Report: In this paper, we presented a 40-year-old woman with microscopic hematuria and a normal urinary ultrasound. Urethrocystoscopy showed a flat 4 mm highlighted strawberry-like lesion on the right lateral wall of the bladder. After a cold cup biopsy, the lesion was coagulated by the holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) laser. Conclusion: In Bladder Lymphangioma Based on the size of the lesion, partial cystectomy or minimally invasive surgeries such as laser modality would be the principal treatment.

History Of

Factitious disorder is described as the patient’s intention to produce fake symptoms to play a sick role and gain medical attention.1 The symptoms could be physical, psychological or mixed. The wide spectrum of symptoms makes the diagnosis and management challenging. This is a case report of a 17 year old girl who was referred to us with history of recurrent bleeding from left side of her forehead. Detailed hematological investigations revealed no abnormal causes of bleeding but on clinical examination, we found multiple scar marks on the affected site. The history was suggestive of hematohidrosis but the patient had scar marks on the affected area which indicated that the bleeding was self-inflicted. This was the most important diagnostic and differentiating point in this patient. Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy were followed by complete remission. Bang J Psychiatry June 2018; 32(1): 19-21

Abstract BackgroundMetastasis of the pancreas to myxoid liposarcoma is very rare.Case presentationWe report a 43-year-old woman who underwent radical surgery for myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) of the sigmoid colon 9 years earlier and for liposarcoma of the neck 7 years earlier. The lesion later metastasized to the pancreas, and we performed pancreaticoduodenectomy, which was pathologically confirmed as myxoid liposarcoma. Unfortunately, the patient died a year later from unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.ConclusionsMyxoid liposarcoma is a very rare malignancy that carries a risk of invasion to the pancreas, and complete surgical resection is the best chance for clinical treatment.

ABSTRACT Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from perineural Schwann cells of nerve sheath. They are solitary, wellencapsulated, slow-growing adjacent to the parental nerve but extrinsic to the nerve fascicles. Approximately 25 to 45% of all schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region and are found rarely in the oral cavity. Most of the intraoral schwannomas are located in the tongue. Palatal schwannoma is very rare as till date and only 16 cases have been reported; one such rare case we came across is reported here. How to cite this article Hameed PSS, Arora N, Malhotra V.

Rare Lesion

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an extremely rare lesion found in the maxillofacial region. Its frequency diminishes further when found in the bone. Although classification has varied throughout its history, the histologic features are often diagnostic, particularly with its strong association with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1 (ALK-1) staining. The current mode of treatment for such a lesion is surgical removal with careful followup. In this rare case report, we describe the diagnosis and treatment in a 16-year-old male. Although this rare pathology can present as—and at times mimic—more serious pathologies, it is important for the attending surgeon to initially manage the pathology conservatively.
