Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represents the third most common group of malignant lesions of the oral cavity, following squamous cell carcinomas and salivary gland neoplasms. It accounts for 3-5% of all malignant lesions of the oral cavity [1]. Further, only 1% of all lymphomas are primary oral cavity lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the tongue is extremely rare. It can arise from Waldeyer’s ri...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are nonepithelial, mesenchymal neoplasms that rarely occur in children. CASE PRESENTATION We present a unique case of a GIST that developed outside the gastrointestinal tract within the mesoappendix of a 6-year old boy. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a slightly lobulated, homogeneous soft-tissue mass, with marked contrast enhancement. CO...

Plasma cell neoplasms of the head and neck region can be extramedullary plasmacytoma of the bone, solitary plasmacytoma of the bone, and local manifestations of multiple myeloma. A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with diplopia of four-day history. Magnetic resonance imaging showed soft tissue in the sphenoid sinus. Endoscopic biopsy was taken from the sphenoid sinus, which...

Leiomyomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms that arise from smooth muscles. Three distinctive patterns of leiomyoma have been described as piloleiomyomas, angioleiomyomas and genital leiomyomas. Here in, we report the case of 39-year male with chief complain of growth on his lower left front region of the jaw. On the basis of clinical examination, it was provisionally diagnosed as pyogenic gran...

Glomus tumors are uncommon benign soft tissue neoplasms. We report the case of a 32-year-old male who presented with right upper lobe atelectasis due to an endobronchial tumor. The patient underwent right upper lobectomy and wedge bronchoplasty. The pathological diagnosis was bronchial glomus tumor. To our knowledge, this presentation (with right upper lobe atelectasis) has never before been re...

Chordomas are rare neoplasms arising from notochordal remnants and may develop anywhere in the body while the most common anatomic site is the sacrococcygeal area. The most effective treatment of chordoma is surgery. Chordomas rarely metastasize to lung, bone, soft tissue, liver, lymph nodes, and skin. However, there is currently no standard systemic treatment for advanced stage chordoma. Here,...

The local and systemic treatment of tumors can cause changes in the skin, mucous membranes, hair and nails. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of side effects require knowledge about the patterns of the most common adverse reactions to drugs the patient may be using. The dermatologist must be familiar with the manifestations of certain soft tissue neoplasms, as well as with the advers...

To the editor: Soft tissue sarcomas are neoplasms which establish themselves on structures of mesodermic origin. The most common histological variant in adults is the malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), though this rarely occurs in the lung. Furthermore, before labeling such a histiocytoma as being of pulmonary origin, it is important to rule out the possibility of a primary site elsewhere, g...

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) and Ewing sarcoma (EWS) belong to the same family of malignant, small, round cell neoplasms of soft tissue or bone origin. EWS-PNETs that arise in the lung parenchyma involvement are extremely rare in adults. A case of a 32-year-old male presenting with chest pain and diffuse pulmonary nodules on chest X-ray and diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma-PNETs will be...

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare soft tissue neoplasms and occur in different parts of the body. We report a case of granular cell tumour of common bile duct (CBD) in a 39 years old lady, presenting with obstructive jaundice. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed it as a benign looking mass in CBD. Complete surgical excision of the tumour was done. Histopathology was con...
