Management of a Retained Rare Earth Magnetic Finger Mass Sustained from a Semiconductor Explosion Injury: A Case Report.

Case: We present a case of a 51-year-old man with a retained supercharged rare earth magnetic finger mass sustained from an explosion injury at a semiconductor processing facility. The patient underwent excision of the rare metal mass, subsequently maintaining digital function without mass recurrence.

Conclusion: Common to the semiconductor industry, neodymium is a rare earth metal and powerful magnet.

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the dura in a 51-year-old woman following intensive treatment for breast cancer.

Patient: Female, 51.

Final Diagnosis: Ewing sarcoma.

Symptoms: Visual disturbances.

Testicular seminomatous mixed germ cell tumor with choriocarcinoma and teratoma with secondary somatic malignancy: a case report.

Introduction: Testicular tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms exhibiting diverse histopathology and can be classified as seminomatous and non-seminomatous germ cell tumor types. Mixed germ cell tumors contain more than one germ cell component and various combinations have been reported. Here, we present a rare case of a mixed germ cell tumor composed of seminoma, choriocarcinoma and teratoma with a secondary somatic malignancy.

Littoral cell angiomas of the spleen associated with solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas.

Littoral cell angiomas (LCA) of the spleen are vascular tumors of unknown etiology arising from the littoral cells of the splenic red pulp sinuses. Usually a benign and incidental finding, LCA have been repeatedly reported in association with a variety of visceral malignancies and hold the potential for dissemination per se. We encountered a case of a 30 year old female who was diagnosed with solid pseudopapillary tumor of the head and distal pancreas by fine needle aspiration cytology.

Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma in an adult: A case report and review of the literature.

Lymphangiomas are rare benign cystic tumors of the lymphatic system. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas account for 1% of all lymphangiomas, and approximately 186 cases have been reported. They may clinically present as a palpable abdominal mass and can cause diagnostic dilemmas with other retroperitoneal cystic tumors, including those arising from the liver, kidney and pancreas.

Giant cell tumor of the nasal cavity: case report.

Soft tissue giant cell tumor of low malignant potential is a rare tumor located in superficial and deep soft tissue. Tumors with osteoclast-like giant cells have been reported in various sites as breast, salivary glands, lung, kidney and pancreas. These tumors are composed of evenly spaced multinucleated giant cells in a background of mononuclear component composed of round, oval or spindled cells.

Case report: glomus tumor of the colon.

Glomus tumors are tumors of pericytic origin and are usually found in the distal extremities. Glomus tumors have rarely been reported in viscera. The authors report a glomus tumor of the colon that caused rectal bleeding in a 40-yr-old man and was biopsied and excised endoscopically.
