We report a case of hepatic adenoma progression to carcinoma in the setting of hepatoportal sclerosis in an HIV+ patient and provide a review of the scarce literature regarding hepatoportal sclerosis in HIV patients. We describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and management. This is the first case report in the literature of progression of hepatic adenoma to carcinoma in hepatoportal sclerosis in an HIV patient. This case also highlights the broad differential diagnosis that should always be included in the study of any liver disease in this patient population, including the performance of invasive and aggressive tests to arrive at the final diagnosis.

Background: Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens (PCAS) is a suppurative process that involves the scalp, eventually resulting in extensive scarring and irreversible alopecia. This condition often presents in males of African American origin. Objective: This article describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of an Aboriginal Canadian male suffering from PCAS. A literature review on the etiology, pathology, differential diagnosis, and management is also discussed. Conclusion: Careful analysis of the pathology and clinical presentation can aid in the timely diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. The clinician dealing with patients suffering from PCAS has several treatment options available to help successfully manage patients with straightforward or recalcitrant disease.

Abstract Angiomyolipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms, presenting with a variable mixture of adipose tissue, smooth muscle and vascular component. Although they are typically found in the kidneys, many cases of extrarenal angiomyolipomas have been reported. They are extremely rarely present in the uterus. We describe a case of a 56-year-old woman, operated on for leiomyoma. Total laparohysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy was performed. After histological and immunohistochemical examination, the final diagnosis of uterine angiomyolipoma was made. Renal and extrarenal angiomyolipomas are compared in regard to clinical and morphological aspect and their difference from PEComas is dicussed. PEComas have been defined during the last decade and there are still issues regarding terminological clarity and overlapping.

A four year old white female with a clinical presentation of macroglossia is described. Speech disturbances and occasional episodes of traumatic injury to the tongue with severe bleeding brought the patient to seek dental care. Lymphangioma was diagnosed after incisional biopsy. The differential diagnosis of tongue enlargement in children is discussed including review of the literature relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of lymphangioma.

AbstractPseudocirrhosis is the occurrence of capsular retraction in patients with metastatic liver disease, usually of breast origin. It usually appears in these patients following chemotherapy and may result from shrinkage of the tumor, with scarring and nodular regeneration. In this article, we describe the first case of pseudocirrhosis, following treatment of transitional cell carcinoma metastatic to the liver. Portal vein thrombosis, a rare complication in pseudocirrhosis, was also detected in this patient.

In this report, the case of a 24-year-old female with Beckwith–Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) who was diagnosed with well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is described. While BWS has been associated with childhood embryonal tumors, most commonly Wilms tumors and hepatoblastomas, this is the first case report to describe HCC in an adult with BWS. Although HCC typically occurs in elderly adults or those with underlying liver disease, in this case, we show that HCC can occur in a young adult with BWS without any underlying liver disease.

Vulvar Mass

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour that occurs almost exclusively in the vulvovaginal region of women but can also occur occasionally in the inguinoscrotal region of men. It is a well-circumscribed lesion that clinically is often thought to represent a Bartholin's gland cyst and usually does not form a pedunculated mass. To our knowledge, only five cases of vulvar AMFB with pedunculated mass have been reported in the English literature and all cases involving the labia majora and middle-aged women. We report the first case of pedunculated AMFB of the vulva occurring in a young woman of 21 years old and involving the left labia minora. After excluding the most common diseases, pedunculated AMFB should be part of differential diagnosis in the workup of any pedunculated vulvar mass even in young women with a lesion involving the labia minora. We reviewed the literature and summarized all reported cases.

First Impression

Eccrine nevus is a rare skin lesion with protean manifestations like hyperhidrosis, discolored nodules, papules, and so forth, which has been reported in various anatomic parts of the body including the forearm, leg, thigh, back, and coccyx. Our patient was a 26-year-old male, who presented with increasing colorless and odorless episodic umbilical discharge. First impression for the patient was an umbilical sinus and the patient underwent surgery. Histopathological study revealed the lesion to be an eccrine nevus of the umbilicus. This is the first case of eccrine nevus presenting with umbilical discharge. We recommend that eccrine nevus should be considered as a differential diagnosis for umbilical discharge.
