Orbital Cellular Angiofibroma: One of the Rarest Tumor in Pandora’s Box
Abstract: Orbital cellular angiofibroma is one of the rarest benign mesenchymal tumors and only two cases have been reported. It typically originates from the lower reproductive tract and does not show a gender or race preference. Total surgical resection is the suggested modality of treatment. Diagnosing tumors in rare anatomical locations can pose considerable challenges, especially when they share common histopathological characteristics with more common tumors. In such cases, achieving an …

Ganglioneuroma of Lip: A Rare Benign Tumor
Abstract: Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor arising from neural crest sympathogonia, which are completely undifferentiated cells of the sympathetic nervous system. However, ganglioneuromas themselves are fully differentiated neuronal tumors that do not contain immature elements. Ganglioneuroma most frequently occurs in the abdomen, however these tumors can grow at anywhere sympathetic nervous tissue is found. It occurs in patients between 10 and 30 years of age. It is exceedingly uncommon in …

A Review: An Introduction to Atypical Lipoma and their Brief Natural Treatment
Abstract: Atypical lipomatous are rare tumours arising from soft tissues of the body and most commonly affect adults. Lipomas are benign tumors composed of mature fat cells. These slow growing tumors, almost always benign, are generally in the form of round, motile, non-painful masses with a characteristic soft and soggy feel. Lipomas are seen in the hypodermic area of skin. Lipomas can be associated with syndromes such as multiple hereditary lipomatosis, …

Neuroendocrine Tumor – A Rare Detection in The Mandible
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Neuroendocrine tumors of the oral cavity and jaws are an extremely rare finding. Most have been non-functional in nature. Lung is the second most common location and causes secondary metastasis in the oral cavity. However, they are slow growing and have no severe clinical effects as pain or paresthesia and mimic benign lesions. This article presents a case of high-grade neuroendocrine tumor of the mandible which in turn metastasized …

Management of Uterine Sarcomas - Current Concepts and Controversies
Abstract: Uterine sarcomas are a group of relatively rare malignancies with heterologous clinical behavior. Because of its rarity, there is dearth of randomized trials and hence there are no standard recommendations as how to manage these cases. Carcinosarcomas are now a separate entity and is managed similar to high grade endometrial carcinoma, since the sarcomatous element is proven to be of endometrial origin. Now, the major variants are leomyosarcoma (LMS), endometrial …

Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma of Submandibular Gland: A Case Report
Abstract: Basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) of the salivary gland is a rare neoplasm that commonly occurs in major salivary glands, most likely in parotid gland. BCAC was included in the 1991 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of salivary gland neoplasms. In 2005 WHO classification; BCAC has been added to the subtypes of salivary gland carcinoma and is classified as a low grade malignancy. Histologically, BCAC is divided on the basis of …

A Rare Case Of Symplastic Leiomyoma Of Uterus : A case Report
Abstract: Uterine smooth muscle tumors (USMT) are of mesenchymal origin and develop from the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. Leiomyomas and their subtypes are the most commonly occurring USMT’s. Symplastic Leiomyoma is an unusual histologic subtype of Benign Leiomyoma, hence also known as atypical or Bizarre leiomyoma. It is often difficult to differentiate it from Leiomyosarcoma because of its bizarre looking nuclei on histology. However it’s malignant transformation is rare. …

Adult Granulosa Cell Tumor of Ovary (GCT) – A Practical Approach
Abstract: Granulosa cell tumor (GCTs) are a rare group of tumors constituting less than 5% of all ovarian tumors and account for more than 70% of the sex cord-stromal tumors. They present with features of hypere-strogenism and are characterized by a good response to surgery but are notorious for late recurrences. Lifelong surveillance with serial clinical examination and tumor markers is advised. Adjuvant therapy, usually with BEP, is offered in high-risk …

Teratoma and Mucinous Cystadenoma in Contralateral Ovaries in Postmenopausal Woman: A Case Report
Abstract: Collision tumors are histologically distinct tumor without histological admixture in the same tissue or organ. They have been reported at various site including skin and thyroid. Collision tumor involving ovary is rare. Most common histological combination of collision tumor in ovary is co-existence of teratoma with mucinous tumor. The presence of these different tumors in the contralateral ovaries without any evidence of histological admixture is extremely rare. Here we report …

Uterine Cervix Hemangioma—a Rare Cause of Post-coital Bleeding: A Case Report
Abstract: Cavernous hemangioma of uterine cervix is very rare benign vascular tumor. Only few cases have been reported, few of them are associated with pregnancy and caused gynaecological and obstetrical complications. Different types of hemangioma like capillary, cavernous and AV type may occur in combinations, affecting a number of organs and producing well known syndromes. Most of these lesions show asymptomatic behaviour, but sometimes their presentation mimics malignancy. We are reporting …

Case Report: A Rare Case of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans
Abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) DFSP is a low grade cutaneous malignancy first described in 1890 by Taylor. Darierwas credited with establishing DFSP as a clinicopathologic entity in 1924 and HOFFMAN established the term in 1925.Clinical diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion because the lesion often has a fairly innocuous gross appearance. After biopsy or excision, expert pathological assessment with focused immunohistochemistry testing is essential to differentiate DFSP with other superficial …

Angiolipoma Misdiagnosed as Liposarcoma—A Case Report
Abstract: Lipomas are most commonly encountered benign tumors in surgical pathology. Angiolipoma is a rare vascular variant of the benign lipomatous tumors and is generally seen in subcutaneous tissues. Angiolipomas are usually found in the upper extremities, shoulder and back. They usually occur as painful soft tissue masses and may compress the neighbouring structures (e.g., nerves) depending on their size and location. We report a 40-year-old female with swelling in her …

Mystic Malignant Melanoma Modalities
Abstract: Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of cancer with four recognized subtypes. In about 90% of cases, melanoma is diagnosed as a primary tumor, without signs of spreading. If caught early, the survival rate is quite high, reaching around 94%. However, for metastatic melanoma, the survival rate drops significantly to about 40%. Diagnosing melanoma can be tricky, as it shares features with benign conditions like seborrheic keratosis, benign moles, blue …

Hidradenocarcinoma: A Rare Skin Disease
Abstract: Hidradenocarcinoma (HAC) also known as ‘‘sweat gland tumor” is an aggressive, uncommon, highly malignant, adnexal tumor derived from the intradermal duct of eccrine sweat glands. It is said to be aggressive as it has a high risk of local recurrence (50%–75%) and a high potential to metastasize to nearby lymph nodes or to other distant sites. Hidradenocarcinoma has other recognized variants which are known by different names such as Malignant …

Epstein-Barr virus A Review
Abstract: The unravelling of the molecular pathogenesis of malignancy that had its beginnings in the last third of the twentieth century was, in many ways, sparked by the discovery of virus-associated tumors and oncogenic viruses. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and other viruses that soon followed were not only exciting stories in themselves but provided models with starting points and outcomes, which, since they were specific, could be dissected and generalized. In …
