Abstract We report a case of testicular extramedullary myeloid cell tumor in a 37-year-old man who presented with an acute testicular hemorrhage. A pathologic examination revealed no gross tumor mass. A well-differentiated extramedullary myeloid cell tumor infiltrate was seen histologically, localized largely to the seminiferous tubules. The patient had no evidence of any past or concurrent myeloid disorders. The lack of the usual clinical features of a testicular mass and the presence of an intratubular pattern of infiltration can further compound the challenges in diagnosing this entity.

Lipomas are the most common type of soft tissue mesenchymal tumors. They are typically located subcutaneously and consist of mature fatty tissue. When they occur under the enclosing fascia, they are called deep-seated lipomas. Infrequently, lipomas can arise inside the muscle and are called intramuscular lipomas. Intramuscular lipomas have been commonly investigated and categorized in the same group as other deep-seated and superficial lipomatous lesions. Their clinical, histological and imaging characteristics may resemble well-differentiated liposarcomas, further adding to the difficulties in the differential diagnosis. This article summarizes the available literature and describes the typical epidemiological, pathological and clinical features of intramuscular lipomas, as well as delineating their treatment and prognosis.

Progressive Enlargement

Rhinophyma (Greek “nose growth”) is a benign dermatologic disease of the nose [1]. It is characterized by a slowly progressive enlargement of the nasal skin, with irregular thickening and nodular deformation leading to an erythematous appearing nose. Phyma is the last stage of rosacea and is due to chronic inflammation and edema. Although the great majority of phymatous lesions occur on the nose (rhinophyma), they may also occur at other sites. It affects mostly men. Even though the exact cause of rhinophyma is unknown, it is believed to be multifactorial in origin with a principal etiology of unregulated superficial vasodilation. The main reasons that urge the patients to seek help are functional and cosmetic impairments, such as nasal obstruction or disfigurement. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic tumor mass is the treatment of choice for rhinophyma. The aim of the article is to present an update on the pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment of rhinophyma and gnathophyma in a 54-year-old female patient.

Case: We describe a case of 72-year-old male with dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma with osteosarcomatous and epithelioid (squamous) dedifferentiation. As first described in the literature by Dahlin and Beabout, a well-differentiated benign chondral lesion abruptly juxtaposed to a high-grade non-cartilaginous component is the classical definition of a chondrosarcoma [1]. The non-cartilaginous component is typically an osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma or malignant fibrous histiocytoma with rare instances of leiomyosarcoma, giant cell tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma [2]. Conclusion: We report our rare instance of squamous dedifferentiation of a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma along with other five cases that have been reported so far in the literature

Review Of The Literature

The recent literature shows that interest in ocular adnexal lymphomas and their biologic and clinical characteristics—along with their possible association with Chlamydia psittaci infection and therapeutic management with rituximab or anti-Chlamydia psittaci antibiotic therapy—is considerable. These new data have modified the previously reported features of this disease and have made an updated review of the literature necessary. The aims of this review are to present the current knowledge on the biology of these lymphomas, their clinical features and prognostic factors, and the panel of all available treatment options.

Common Site

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.
