Malignant schwannomas of the paranasal sinuses are extremely uncommon tumors, as only 18 well-documented cases have been previously published in the English-language literature. We report two new cases of solitary malignant schwannoma--one in a 23-year-old man and the other in a 45-year-old woman. Neither was associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. These tumors involved the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, and orbit and extended intracranially. Following surgery, both patients experienced recurrences. The male patient developed a slowly enlarging intranasal mass at the same site 8 years following excision of the original tumor and postoperative radiotherapy. Microscopic examination of the recurrent tumor revealed that its features were similar histologically to those of the original. The female patient experienced a recurrence 1 year following her first operation.

Purpose: The NAB2::STAT6 fusion is predominantly associated with solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and is utilized in diagnosing SFTs through nuclear STAT6 protein overexpression. Recent studies expanded the phenotypic spectrum of NAB2::STAT6 rearranged neoplasms, including adamantinoma-like and teratocarcinosarcoma-like phenotypes. We report a case of a NAB2::STAT6 rearranged epithelial tumor exhibiting sebaceous differentiation in the parotid gland.

Extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP) are uncommon solitary tumors composed of neoplastic plasma cells occurring outside the bone. These lesions are of clinical significance due to their potential progression to multiple myeloma (MM), a more systemic and serious plasma cell malignancy. Although EMPs primarily arise in the head and neck region, cases involving the oral cavity are particularly rare.

Introduction: Giant cell tumour or osteoclastoma is benign, locally aggressive tumor with bone destruction and with malignant potential. It accounts for 5% of all primary bone tumor and occurs in skeletally mature individuals in the age group of 30 to 45 with peak incidence in the 3rd decade. GCT is more common in females.

: Vulvar epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is an exceedingly rare dermatological condition, often presenting as solitary or multiple lesions in the vulvar region. Due to its clinical resemblance to other vulvar disorders, such as condyloma acuminatum, Bowenoid papulosis, and squamous cell carcinoma, vulvar EHK poses significant diagnostic challenges. While individual case reports and small case series have documented instances of vulvar EHK, comprehensive studies systematically consolidating the clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects of this condition remain lacking.
