A histopathologic diagnosis of brain lymphangiomyoma, clinically misdiagnosed as simple angiomyxoma: case report.

Introduction: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease which affects women of reproductive age almost exclusively as one of the most gender-specific diseases, and which can occur at any site in the body but most commonly in the lungs. Here we report a rare case of recurrent brain lymphangiomyoma which was misdiagnosed as angiomyxoma.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male complained of finding a recurrent mass at the right temporal lobe of his brain for the last 4 months.

Operative managements of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms: a report of three cases and literature review.

Background: The purpose of this study is to report the treatment approaches and postoperative outcomes of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) and discuss the symptoms, related risk factors, etiology, diagnostic methods, treatments, and follow-up period complications.

Case Presentation: We describe three patients with symptomatic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms; one of them was treated with end-to-end anastomosis of the extracranial internal carotid artery (EICA) after the resection of the aneurysm, while the other two patients were deployed with Willis covered stents in the extracranial internal carotid artery. All of the patients were in good condition when discharged home.
