Benign fibrous histiocytoma or dermatofibroma is one of the most common types of benign, cutaneous, soft tissue tumors, most often found in the middle-aged adults. The diagnosis of dermatofibroma/benign fibrous histiocytoma is usually straightforward if the typical morphological features are present. However, some diagnostic difficulties may arise when one is dealing with some unusual morpholog...

A 32-year-old man presented with a complaint of painless palpable mass of the left scrotal content. Based on the preoperative diagnosis of scrotal or spermatic cordal benign tumor, local excision was performed. The histological diagnosis was scrotal fibrous pseudotumor. In Japan, only 35 cases of fibrous pseudotumor of the scrotum have been reported including our case. Orchiectomy was performed...

Fibrous dysplasia is classified among benign bone tumors. It is a bone development anomaly characterized by hamartoma proliferation of fibrous tissue within the medullary bone, with secondary bony metaplasia, producing immature, newly formed and weakly calcified bone, without maturation of the osteoblast. It can be monostotic or polyostotic. The craniofacial localization occurs in 10%-25% of ca...

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the liver are rarely described; only 38 cases have been reported in literature, most of which have shown benign clinical characteristics, and only 3 of these cases exhibited malignant variants. In this study, we present a 24-year-old woman with a 1-month history of a rapidly enlarging abdominal mass and a CT showing an exophytic heterogeneous liver mass with a ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (ISFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms originating in the meninges. The aim of this study was to describe the CT, MR imaging, and angiographic features of the solitary fibrous tumor and to identify imaging characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed CT, MR, and angiographic findings in 6 cases of ISFT. We evalu...

Background Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm of unknown origin. It has been reported in many anatomic sites, with a rare occurrence in the head and neck region. Solitary fibrous tumors of the parotid gland are exceptional; their clinical and radiologic features are non specific, often mimicking more common salivary gland tumors. Pathologic examination and immunohistoch...

Tumors arising in the spermatic cord are very rare. The common benign tumors of the spermatic cord include adenomatoid tumor, lipoma, neurofibroma, and leiomyoma. We report a rare case of fibrous pseudotumor of the spermatic cord presenting clinically as a hydrocele. A 28-year-old male presented with the complaint of swelling in the left scrotum, which gradually progressed in size over four yea...

BACKGROUND Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a sarcoma of uncertain origin that can be found both in soft tissues and in bones. It is currently called undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma not otherwise specified and it represents a final common pathway in several tumors that are subject to the progress of dedifferentiation. Local recurrence of the tumor in the same location where it was origina...

Hemangiomas are the most common primary hepatic tumors, but there are few reports of their occurrence elsewhere in the abdomen. The concurrent existence of multiple fibrous nodules of the omentum, mesentery, and porta hepatis, along with a gastric hemangioma, in a child raises the question of syndromic association. Our search of the English literature revealed only rare mentions of hemangiomas ...

adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid is a rare odontogenic tumor. granular cell ameloblastoma also is a less common histological subtype of ameloblastoma. in this report, the patient was a 31‑year‑old male. the lesion was located in the right mandible and was unicystic with well‑defined borders. the tumor tissue was showing a combination of follicular, plexiform, and desmoplastic patterns of am...
