An intramuscular lipoma is a deep-seated, rare, benign mesenchymal tumor that arises in skeletal muscle. These soft-tissue masses are rarely reported in the foot. We describe an unusual case of an intramuscular lipoma of the flexor hallucis brevis muscle. A review of the literature revealed only one previous report of this lesion in the foot.

Muscle Metastasis

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common malignant mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The most common sites of metastasis are the liver and the peritoneum, whereas metastasis to soft tissue is rare. The authors present the case of a 78-year-old male with a soft tissue metastasis of a GIST and the current literature is reviewed.

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.

Oral Soft Tissue

The intraoral soft tissue myxoma or the peripheral myxoma is an extremely rare,slowly growing, benign mesenchymal tumor. Pathologically, it may be difficult todifferentiate from other tumors with myxoid stroma and is occasionally misinterpretedas malignant. We report a case of unusually massive peripheral myxoma of left alveolarridge in a 35-year-old lady.Key Words: Myxoma, peripheral, alveolar ridge.

Pathology Reports

Intramuscular lipoma is a rare subset of a more common soft-tissue tumor, lipoma. The etiology is unknown. It is a rare soft-tissue tumor with an overall incidence of less than 1% of all lipomas. Magnetic resonance imaging tends to be the imaging modality of choice, used for surgical preparation. Widely accepted treatment involves local excision. The author presents a case study involving a patient with an abnormally large, recurrent intramuscular lipoma of the left hallux, surgically excised and confirmed by pathology reports. iscussion includes a review of intramuscular lipoma. A review of the literature revealed only two previous reports.

Large B Cell

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is extranodal in approximately 40% of cases, arising in nearly any organ system. DLBCL involvement of soft tissue and in particular skeletal muscle is extremely rare, comprising less than 1% of all extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). We report a case of a 79-year-old man that presented with a DLBCL of the left triceps. In particular, we describe an unusual histologic appearance of pseudoglandular structures, resembling adenocarcinoma. We performed a review of lymphoma cases involving skeletal muscle diagnosed at our institution over the past 15 years as well as thorough PubMed review of the literature. We discuss the features of lymphoma involving skeletal muscle as it pertains to clinical characteristics, histologic subtype, tumor localization, diagnostic studies, therapy, and outcome. Finally, we highlight the diagnostic difficulties that can present in these rare and often challenging cases.

AbstractThere are few case reports of primary muscle cystic echinococcosis in which a hot abscess developed at the site of the cyst following its perforation. Here, the author presents a 23-year-old female with a hydatid cyst of more than 15 years’ duration in her right quadriceps muscle. The cyst did not cause any complaints for years and grew very slowly, but eventually became infected and perforated. A large hot abscess was formed at its site. The patient was managed successfully by surgical and medical treatments. She was assessed carefully for clinical, radiological, surgical and histopathological findings. Investigations were made to differentiate the condition from classical hot abscesses and other soft tissue masses. In T1-and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images, a hypointense membranous structure (the perforated rim) within the mass of the lesion was significant for its differential diagnosis. In conclusion, especially in endemic regions, magnetic resonance imaging is a valuable tool in differentiating soft tissue cystic echinococcosis in the presence of infected and rapidly enlarging masses after long periods of dormancy.

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome

Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms that occur usually in subcutaneous tissue. In rare instances they can occu r in the deep soft tissue such as intramuscular and parosteal sites. When an intramuscular lipoma occurring in the proximal forearm or adjacent to the proximal radius they can compress the posterior interosseous branch of radial nerve and cause paralysis o f posterior interosseous nerve. In this report we describe an unusual case of a 55 - year - old man with posterior interosseous nerve syndrome caused by quite small intramuscular lipoma.

ABSTRACT Intramuscular hemangiomas (IMHs) occur when the proliferation of blood vessels is found between the skeletal muscle fibers, and they account for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. We report two cases of IMHs in the rare locations like tongue and temporalis muscle. These hemangiomas should be considered in a differential diagnosis of the soft tissue masses. Radiology plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of these lesions. How to cite this article Kamra S, Pai KM, Chhaparwal Y. Intramuscular Hemangioma: Enigmatic Dilemma in Diagnosis.

Staphylococcus pasteuri is a gram-positive organism found in food products as well as naturally occurring in air and on surfaces. We present the first known case of Staphylococcus pasteuri osteomyelitis caused by machine injection injury. The patient was treated with emergent surgical debridement as well as doxycycline for a soft tissue infection. Despite targeted therapy, the infection progressed to osteomyelitis and was treated successfully with additional surgical debridement and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. There is sparse information on both infections and treatment of Staphylococcus pasteuri. We present our case report as well as a review of the literature on the epidemiology, susceptibility and treatment recommendations for Staphylococcus pasteuri infections.
