Malignant pleuropulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma - unusual presentation of an aggressive angiogenic neoplasm.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) of the lung and pleura are rare tumors. Primary pleural EHE are associated with aggressive behavior and poor clinical outcome. Recent advances in EHE include the development of immunohistochemical markers of vascular differentiation, namely Fli-1, and the identification of a specific chromosomal translocation (t(1;3)(p36;q25)).

Oncocytoma of the parotid gland: a case report and review of the literature.

We report the case of a patient who presented to the ENT service with left facial swelling of 5 months duration. Imaging studies revealed a dense expansive mass confined to the inside of the left deep parotid lobule and moderate enhancement following contrast media injection. Subsequently, a biopsy confirmed the presence of an oncocytoma.

Inflammatory fibroid polyp associated with early gastric carcinoma: a case report.

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare mesenchymal lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. The association of IFP with gastric carcinoma has been only reported in 7 previously published cases. We present the case of a 69-year-old man who underwent gastrectomy because of an early gastric carcinoma invading the submucosa with an underlying IFP, which pushed the neoplastic surface to the gastric lumen in a polypoid fashion.
