Cardiac fibromas are rare benign tumours of connective tissue that occur most frequently in children within the left ventricle. Spontaneous regression has not been observed, and surgical intervention is usually required. We have successfully treated a 1-year old girl with a giant fibroma of the right ventricle using the principles of the Batista procedure. The diagnosis was primarily made using transthoracic echocardiography.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a case of giant cell fibroma (GCF) occurring in the anterior palate of a 5-year-old patient, highlighting a swelling complaint that lasted for 6 months.
- An excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of GCF, and a follow-up after 5 months showed no signs of recurrence.
- The report emphasizes that GCF is a rare benign growth that accounts for only 2-5% of biopsied specimens, and its identification relies on specific histopathological characteristics.

Angiomyolipomas are the benign tumours of the kidney which occur either sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Symptoms typically develop with an increase in the size of the lesion. We present a clinical image of a patient with giant renal angiomyolipomas who had other clinical features of TSC (facial angiofibromas, periungual fibroma, subependymal nodules in the brain, and lung cysts).

Article Synopsis
- - Tenosynovitis with psammomatous calcifications (TPC) is a rare, non-cancerous condition that often affects women and is thought to result from repetitive use or trauma, commonly appearing at sites like the hands, feet, and wrists.
- - In a study involving 18 new cases, most patients presented with painful masses, and imaging often showed benign characteristics, but many of these cases were misdiagnosed as more serious conditions like gout or tumors.
- - Follow-up on patients (mostly for around 30 months) showed no local recurrences after surgical removal, highlighting the necessity for greater awareness among medical professionals regarding TPC.
