Hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibrous tumor of pectoralis major muscle mimicking a breast mass.

Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma (HPC)/solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a very uncommon tumor of uncertain malignant behavior. In 1942, Stout and Murray first characterized these neoplasms as "vascular tumors arising from Zimmerman's pericytes" and till now hemangiopericytomas and solitary fibrous tumors of the soft tissues are regarded as features of the same entity in the soft tissue fascicle.

Presentation Of Case: We present a case of hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibrous tumor of the pectoralis major muscle in a 33-year-old female.

Breast tumour as the first manifestation of extramedullary relapse of Philadelphia positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Extramedullary relapses of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are rare and usually localized in the central nervous system. We describe such an uncommon case of extramedullary relapse of ALL in the breast of a 44 year old female. The patient, who had been diagnosed with precursor B cell, Philadelphia positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) 5 years before and had been in complete molecular remission for the last 19 months, was admitted to the hospital for investigation of a hard, non-tender lump in her right breast.

Axillary silicone lymphadenopathy secondary to augmentation mammaplasty.

We report a case involving a 45-year-old woman, who presented with an axillary mass 10 years after bilateral cosmetic augmentation mammaplasty. A lump was detected in the left axilla, and subsequent mammography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated intracapsular rupture of the left breast prosthesis. An excisional biopsy of the left axillary lesion and replacement of the ruptured implant was performed.

Plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of the palate: case report.

Myoepitheliomas are extremely rare benign neoplasms of salivary glands. They represent 1-1.5% of all salivary gland tumors.
