Basal cell carcinoma of the skin is a common neoplasm usually considered benign. Rarely, distant metastases can involve organs such as the brain, lung, and bone. We report the case of a 41-year old man diagnosed with lung metastasis secondary to base cell carcinoma. Given that the development of metastasis is associated with short survival and the therapeutic arsenal is scarce, we emphasize the...

While an association between blood eosinophilia and endomyocardial disease has been recognized, the role of the eosinophil in the pathogenesis of the cardiac lesions remains uncertain. In a 69-year-old man with large cell carcinoma of the lung, marked eosinophilia was stimulated by and progressed with the course of the neoplasm which was producing an eosinophil chemotactic factor. Peripheral bl...

Mucoceles are benign, epithelial-lined mucous cysts. Commonly mucoceles form secondary to obstruction of a sinus outflow tract or from mucosal gland entrapment from chronic infection, inflammation, iatrogenic trauma, external trauma, or neoplasm. We present a rare case of a nasal mucocele in a 37-year old male arising from a remote history of maxillofacial trauma. To our knowledge, mucoceles as...

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant neoplasm characterised by the formation of osteoid matrix by neoplastic cells. It is the most common primary malignant bone tumor accounting for 20% of all sarcomas, although its occurrence in the jaw is rare. It shows typical clinical behaviour but varied radiological and histopathological features. It presents various histological aspects. We report a case of ...

Pleuropulmonary blastoma is a rare childhood neoplasm accounting for less than one percent of all primary malignant lung tumors of children less than six years of age. Metastasis to CNS, orbit and iris, bone, contralateral lung and rarely adrenal glands, liver, kidney and pancreas has been described. This report presents a rare case of pleuropulmonary blastoma with cervical lymph node metastasi...

A case of primary myelofibrosis involving lymph node and with a novel cytogenetic abnormality [del (18) (p11.2-3)] is reported. The abnormalities are identical among specimens from the lymph node, peripheral blood, and bone marrow that were analyzed years apart. Additionally, we show that the infiltrate by dysplastic megakaryocytes in the lymph node morphologically mimics a metastatic mesenchym...

Carcinoid tumours occur predominantly in the gastrointestinal tract and bronchial system of the lungs, but they can originate in less common anatomical sites such as the testes, which accounts for <1% of all testicular neoplasms. Carcinoid tumour is a rare and indolent neoplasm with the potential for distant metastasis. We report on a man with metastatic right testicular carcinoid tumour who ha...

Endovascular papillary angioendothelioma, also known as Dabska tumor, is a rare vascular neoplasm that usually involves the skin or subcutaneous tissue of children. There have been no reported cases of this lesion occurring in bone. We report a Dabska tumor in the distal femur of a 45-year-old woman who, clinically and radiologically, was felt to have an osteoid osteoma. Histologic study of the...

Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a relatively common skeletal neoplasm, frequently involves long bones. OO of rib is extremely rare, including 0.23-2% of OO cases. Most of them arose in posterior arc, frequently in its head or neck and might lead to painful scoliosis. Involvement of anterior aspect of a rib is extremely rare. Skeletal scintigraphy is highly sensitive for detection of OO. “Doubl...
