Mixed germ cell tumor of mediastinum/lung masquerading as hemangioma in fine needle biopsy.
Indian J Pathol Microbiol
April 2014
The histological predominance of one component in a germ cell tumor can lead to a mistaken diagnosis. Here, we describe a mediastinal teratoma with predominant vascular proliferation (>90%) which on fine needle biopsy was diagnosed as a pulmonary hemangioma. Later, resection specimen revealed other components constituting ~4%, changing the diagnosis while illustrating theimportance of careful evaluation.

- Angiocentric glioma (AG) is recognized in the 2007 WHO classification, showing unique ependymal and diffuse astrocytic traits along with low proliferation rates.
- A study presents three cases of AG in young children, with the first case displaying a higher proliferation index and mitotic activity but still achieving long-term survival without recurrence after six years.
- This research is notable for being the first to assess mitotic activity in AGs using the pHH3 immunostain technique.
Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor that can cause difficulty in diagnosis and surgical management. On clinical and histologic examination, these tumors can potentially be misdiagnosed as sebaceous/epidermal cysts. We report a case of plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor in a young female, which on initial clinical evaluation was diagnosed as sebaceous cyst.

The cerebral hemispheric tumors occurred in patients that were 3, 4, 12, 14, 15, 26, 30, and 37 years of age. All presented with seizures that, with the exception of 2, began in childhood.
