Introduction. Primary osteosarcoma of the breast is a rare soft-tissue form of osteosarcoma without involvement of the skeletal system. Due to the rarity of the disease, its clinical features and optimal treatment remain unclear.Case Presentation. This case report deals with a 62-year-old woman with pure osteosarcoma of the breast.Conclusions. The prognosis of primary osteosarcoma of the breast is poor. Recurrence is frequent, and it is often associated with haematogenous spread of the disease to the lung. Treatment follows the model of sarcomas affecting other locations and must be planned in a multidisciplinary fashion. Adjuvant chemotherapy should be considered for patients with tumors showing aggressive features.

Poroid hidradenoma is a benign soft-tissue neoplasm with eccrine differentiation. It is the newest addition to a group of neoplasms known as poromas. Although it becomes malignant in less than 1% of cases, its histologic characteristics may resemble those of malignant neoplasms; thus it is easily misdiagnosed. Twenty-one percent of poroid hidradenomas occur in the extremities. The histologic and clinical features of this tumor are presented here, along with a case report.

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumor that typically appears in gonadal organs and primarily occurs in women of reproductive age. Being a primary extragonadal choriocarcinoma, primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma (PPC) is an extremely rare condition. Due to the rarity of PPC, no standardized treatment has been established so far. However, surgery combined with adjuvant chemotherapy appears to be the most optimal treatment. Here, we report a rare case of a man with PPC that was successfully treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a rare, X-linked, hereditary disorder of keratinization, characterized by skin involvement and progressive scarring alopecia of scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The diagnosis is helped by the particular clinical features, but pathology is mandatory. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We described a case of a female patient referred to the outpatient’s hair consultation of our department, in which we performed trichoscopy as a very useful tool for the diagnosis, followed by pathology that confirmed KFSD. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In our article, we underlined the importance of trichoscopy for the diagnosis of this hair disease, with also a review of the literature on diagnosis and treatment.

Extraosseous osteosarcoma (EOO) is a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that is located in the soft tissues without direct attachment to the skeletal system and that produces osteoid, bone, or chondroid material. EOO is an extremely rare disease, accounting for only 1% of soft tissue sarcomas, and typically presents in either an extremity or the retroperitoneum. This paper presents the case of a 45-year-old Caucasian male with extraosseous osteosarcoma of the esophagus.

Introduction: Hibernoma is an uncommon benign lipomatous tumor that originates from residual brown fat. It commonly affects adult patients aged between 30 and 40 with a slight predominance in male more than female and usually seen in the thigh, shoulder, back, chest, axilla, and neck. The present report aimed to highlight on a viable differential diagnosis of thigh mass including liposarcoma and atypical lipoma. Case Presentation: This is the case report with detailed history, examination of 39-year-old male patient with hibernoma over medial aspect of thigh. Marginal surgical resection was carried and sent to histopathology to confirm the diagnosis of hibernoma. Conclusion: Hibernoma is a rare benign lipomatous soft tissue tumor with no known risk for malignant transformation or metastasis. Based on imaging examination, it can mimic malignant tumors such as, liposarcoma, in which we believe that biopsy is required in order to reach the diagnosis in most of the cases. Keywords: Soft tissue tumor, hibernoma, brown fat, liposarcoma.

DFSP is a soft tissue malignant tumor the diagnosis of which is often delayed because of its nonspecific clinical features in early stages of disease. A few clinical investigations have detected several useful diagnostic parameters, including delicate pigmented network, vessels, structureless light brown areas, shiny white streaks, pink background coloration, and structure less poor depigmented areas. In particular, the combination of unfocused vessels with reticulate pigmentation has been suggested as a more distinct pattern of DFSP compared with other skin tumors. The detection of these dermoscopic features could be particularly useful on black skin to recognize DFSP early and to distinguish it from keloids.

BACKGROUND: A case of testicular cancer treated with neo adjuvant therapy in a patient in male is rare. When testicular cancer presents, it is usually directly operated due to the size of cancer which presented within the order of operable size. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a rare case of a 5-year-old male patient presented to the emergency room (ER) due to mass on the scrotum without the difficulty of urination. From clinical findings, mass with a size of 15 x 10 cm was found with multiple abscesses on both sides of the scrotum. Pathological Anatomy Examination confirmed yolk sac tumour present within the scrotal mass. Initially, palliative chemotherapy took place to reduce the growth rate of the tumour. However, due to the responsiveness of testicular cancer to chemotherapy drugs, it reduced into operable size testicular cancer. Wide excision and Orchidectomy was then performed, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: This case report showed the possibility of using neo adjuvant chemotherapy as an alternative treatment when inoperable testicular cancer presented in hospital.

Globe is going through a never seen devastating pandemic of COVID-19 since December, 2019. Now, after a span of six months, COVID-19 is no more new and many characteristics of the virus, it’s path physiology, clinical features, disease progression and management came forth. This is truly remarkable and we salute to the global fraternity. We learnt a many. Disease course is defined as of continuous 10 days, if everything else is normal. Third to eighth day is the defined risk period and ninth to twelfth day is the period of deterioration in symptomatic. Symptoms developing after 21 days defined to be recurrence and no such definite incidents is yet detected. To the contrary of all the cases we find in our day to day practice in different COVID centers, here is an anecdote case report of an elderly doctor with two definitive peaks of symptoms within the defined disease course of 10 days, which is unique and not reported elsewhere till date. Sore, wet and tingling nose along with night sweat with or without fever are the earliest and most consistent features of covid-19 as we found in this case report and later confirmed by analyzing in all other cases where most of the cases reported these symptoms.

Nasoalveolar cysts, which originate from epithelial remnants of nasolacrimal duct, are nonodontogenic soft tissue lesions of the upper jaw. These cysts are thought to be developmental and are presented with fullness in the upper lip and nose, swelling on the palate, and sometimes nasal obstruction. Because of cosmetic problems, they are often diagnosed at an early stage. These lesions are mostly revealed unilaterally but also can be seen on both sides. In this case report, a patient who complained of nasal obstruction and then diagnosed with bilateral nasoalveolar cysts and treated by sublabial excision is presented and clinical features and treatment approaches are discussed with the review of literature.

Abstract Deformities of the dentoalveloar ridge are usually the result of developmental defects, periodontal disease, trauma, or surgical insult. Various techniques are available to correct ridge defects. In this case presentation, ridge augmentation was achieved utilizing an acellular dermal matrix allograft in lieu of an autograft. This report demonstrated an acceptable esthetic result with a significant improvement in the bucco-lingual dimension of the dental ridge. Color match was judged to be excellent. Furthermore, there was no post-surgical loss in papillae height. This case report illustrates an innovative soft tissue surgical technique for clinicians attempting to correct dentoalveolar ridge defects. Citation Fowler EB, Breault LG.
