Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive tumour with a poor prognosis. It is not a distinct histological entity, as it can be found in any subtype of renal cell carcinoma. The majority of cases will present with advanced or metastatic disease requiring systemic treatment.

This condition often affects the digestive system. On the other hand, it is a very uncommon subtype of invasive lobular breast carcinoma, with a higher probability (more than invasive breast carcinoma of no special type {IBC-NST}) to migrate to the stomach, spleen, urinary tract, and uterus.

Cervical melanosis is a benign entity, most often discovered by incidental findings on a histological study of a surgical specimen resected for another reason. The microscopic examination allows the diagnosis with certainty after ruling out any potential malignancies.

It usually occurs in adults in the fifth decade, most often in the deep soft tissues of the proximal extremities. The molecular hallmark of this tumor, present in over 90% of cases, is the fusion of NR4A3 with EWSR1 at 22q12.

Two clinical variants of plasmacytomas can be distinguished: solitary plasmacytoma of bone and extramedullary (or extraosseous) plasmacytoma. The latter is rare, representing 1% of all plasma cell neoplasms, occurring most frequently in the upper airways.

The clinical presentation depends the size of tumor, and they may cause symptoms of abdominal pain, urinary difficulties, anemia, hematuria, and abdominal mass as a result of the pressure of the tumor to the adjacent structures. The diagnosis can only be established by immunohistochemical study.

Presentation Of Case: 54-year-old woman with a history of phyllodes tumor of the left breast he patient was admitted to our hospital for management of retroperitoneal soft tissue tumor, attached to the fourth portion of the duodenum, opposite the head of the pancreas. The patient underwent a large excision of the tumor, the duodenojejunal flexure, and the third and fourth portions of the duodenum along with the head of the pancreas.
Introduction: Desmoid tumors are benign fibrous entities developed from connective tissue, and they result from muscle fascia or aponeurosis. Surgical excision is the main pillar of treatment.
Case Report: A 29-year-old female patient presented with a left postero-lateral cervical swelling that had been evolving for 11 months.
