Rare Differential Diagnosis

Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare benign disorder, usually found in larger joints. This case report describes an elderly woman with a bulging mass behind the left eardrum, slowly progressing in size. On surgical exploration and biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with SC of the incudomalleolar joint. Imaging and histopathological findings, surgical management and follow-up are being discussed. SC is a very rare finding in the middle ear and a differential diagnosis to cholesteatoma.

Vulvar Mass

Smooth muscle tumors arising in the vulva are rare. Leiomyosarcoma is the most common variant of vulvar sarcoma, and very few cases have been reported during pregnancy. A 36-year-old woman presented with a progressively enlarging vulvar mass during pregnancy, diagnosed as a Bartholin's gland cyst. The lesion was resected at 38 weeks of gestation during cesarean section and diagnosis of myxoid leiomyosarcoma of the vulva was made. Six weeks later the patients were referred to our center and submitted to wide vulvar excision with groin lymph node dissection that revealed the presence of a small residual focus of leiomyosarcoma. At 30 months of follow-up the patient was well without any sign of recurrent disease. Leiomyosarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of vulvar masses; progressively enlarging vulvar lesion should be biopsied even during pregnancy. Leiomyosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vulvar mass.

Background: PRMC is a very rare benign tumor of the abdominal cavity that usually occurs in women, and PRMC demonstrate no specific findings on CT. There are many reports on the differential diagnosis and discussion of PRMC imaging, but there are few reports on the treatment of dedifferentiated PRMC using laparoscopic resection and postoperative follow-up.

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is rare and in the oral cavity it accounts <1% of all biopsied lesion. For decades Necrotizing Sialometaplasia were treated by conservative management as it is a self healing lesion. The progressive healing period was reported from 2 weeks to 3 months in the literature. Is necrotizing sialometaplasia a self-limiting disease? Here we report a case of non-healing necrotizing sialometaplasia which was treated by surgical management. Complete regression of the lesion was evident after the surgical management and no recurrence until two years of follow-up.

Worse Prognosis

Gastroblastoma (GB) is a rare gastric epithelial-mesenchymal neoplasm, first described by Miettinen et al. So far, all reported cases described the tumor in children or young adults, and similarities with other childhood blastomas have been postulated. We report a case of GB in a 43-year-old patient with long follow up and no recurrence up to 100 months after surgery. So far, this is the second case of GB occurring in the adult age >40-year-old. Hence, GB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of microscopically comparable conditions in adults carrying a worse prognosis and different clinical approach.
