[Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. Differential diagnosis, treatment and systemic involvement. Case report].

Case Report: A 48-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of eyelid edema with bilateral yellowish ulcerated nodules. Suspecting a xanthogranulomatosis, imaging tests and biopsy were performed with diagnosis of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. IgG monoclonal gammapathy was diagnosed in a systemic study.

Orbital and myocardial metastases of a primary pulmonary melanotic schwannoma.

We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a primary pulmonary melanotic schwannoma treated with surgery and who developed an orbital and myocardial relapse 2 years after the initial diagnosis. Melanotic schwannomas are rare pigmented tumours that tend to arise from the peripheral nerves near the midline. A primary lung presentation, as in our case, is extremely rare.
