The case of a 41-year-old woman with a pelvic mass arising in the left ureter is reported. The diagnosis of endometriosis was made on transperineal biopsy exclusively. After unsuccessful treatment with LH-RH analogues, the patient underwent ureteral resection and ureteroneocystostomy.

A rare case of leiomyosarcoma of the penis with a reappraisal of the literature.

Primary leiomyosarcomas arising in the penis are rare, with only 29 reported cases to date. We review the published records on this entity and describe an additional case of penile leiomyosarcoma occurring in a 53-year-old patient who underwent postectomy for a firm nodule in the prepuce. Four years later he experienced local recurrence which was successfully treated with partial penectomy.

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord. A case report with review of the literature.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that may occur in the spermatic cord in childhood. So far, 62 cases have been reported in the English literature. We describe a case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord in a 15-year-old boy, detailing clinical history, light microscopy, immunohistochemistry and treatment.

Non-functioning adrenal cortical carcinoma presenting with metastasis to the tongue.

We report a case of non-functioning adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) presenting with metastatic disease to the tongue, which is an extremely uncommon onset for this neoplasm. Histologically, the lesion had the appearance of an anaplastic neoplasm, and a panel of immunohistochemical markers including vimentin, MART-1, S100 protein, HMB-45, smooth muscle actin, common muscle actin, desmin, CD31, CD34, CD68, EMA and cytokeratins, was helpful in excluding melanoma, as well as other mesenchymal and epithelial neoplasms.
