Article Synopsis
- - A 29-year-old man had a painless swelling on his right middle finger, initially thought to be an epidermal inclusion cyst.
- - Imaging showed a superficial soft tissue mass in the dermis, leading to surgical removal for diagnosis.
- - Histopathology revealed it was a myopericytoma, which is rare in fingers; early diagnosis via surgery and pathologic study is key to ruling out cancer.
Here, we report the case of recurrent swelling and pain in the proximal interphalangeal joint of the left ring finger, which was later diagnosed as a localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor in a young adult female. The first presentation was at the same anatomical site four years prior. Examination at presentation showed a firm skin-colored nodule in the volar aspect of the left ring finger.

- - The report details a case of a 27-year-old woman with multiple epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs) and a fibroadenoma, highlighting that these conditions can occur together without affecting the breast skin.
- - It suggests that EICs should be considered as potential benign breast lesions during diagnoses.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of radiological assessments and surgical excision followed by histopathological examination for effective management and increased awareness of EICs in breast tissue.
Fundic gland polyps (FGPs) are benign epithelial polyps usually located in the gastric body and fundus. Here, we describe the case of an elderly woman who presented with symptomatic anemia, abdominal pain, and weight loss. There was also history of chronic use of proton pump inhibitors for the symptomatic treatment of dyspepsia.

The lesion has a highly infiltrative nature and a high recurrence rate, making it easily misdiagnosed as malignancy. Therefore, diagnosis is best made based on a combination of clinical, radiological, and histological features.
