AI Article Synopsis
- The study discusses two cases of 23-year-old males with progressively enlarging mastoid masses behind their left ears over five years.
- Both cases involved imaging that showed a lesion on the temporal bone, and surgeries revealed the masses were mixed and spongiotic osteomas.
- The findings highlight that while mastoid osteoma is a rare benign tumor, other potential neoplasms like osteosarcoma should also be considered when diagnosing mastoid masses.
Article Abstract
Objective: To discuss the differential diagnosis of two cases with mastoid mass.
Study Design: Case report and review of the literature.
Setting: The study was carried out in Gulhane Military Medical Academy, Haydarpasa Training Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Patient, Intervention, And Results: Both cases were 23-year-old males. They admitted to our clinic with masses behind their left ears that had been progressively enlarging for 5 years. In both cases, coronal and axial computerized tomography scans revealed a wide-based lesion involving temporal bone cortex. The cases were operated on for diagnosis and for correction of the cosmetic deformity. Histopathological examinations were consistent with mixed and spongiotic osteoma.
Conclusions: Mastoid osteoma is a rare, benign tumor of bone. It may cause cosmetic deformity such as external mass or an auricular protrusion. Other neoplasms of the mastoid region, such as osteosarcoma and osteoblastic metastasis, should be considered for the differential diagnosis.

The DNA cross-link repair 1B (DCLRE1B) gene is involved in repairing cross-links between DNA strands, including those associated with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and congenital dyskeratosis. However, its role in tumours is not well understood. DCLRE1B expression profiles were examined in tumour tissues and normal tissues using TCGA, GTEx, and TARGET datasets.

we report the case of a recurrent giant pseudopolyp occurring in a patient without a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with an asymptomatic interval of nine years. Case Presentation: a 51-year-old Caucasian male with no relevant medical history was hospitalized for a subocclusive mass in the right colon, suspected to be neoplastic. He underwent a right hemicolectomy, and the histopathology revealed a giant pseudopolyp without malignancy.

We present a case of a 72-year-old female patient with dyspnea and lipothymia. Echocardiography demonstrates an intracavitary cystic mass that fills almost all left atria causing supravalvular obstruction. The magnetic resonance image revealed a 53 × 47 × 48 mm heterogeneous mass with regular edges, tissue characterization suggested myxoma.

A 43-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and cough, initially misdiagnosed as respiratory syncytial virus. Persistent symptoms led to pulmonary thromboembolism treatment, but worsening issues revealed recurrent pericardial effusion. Imaging and biopsy confirmed pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma, mimicking thromboembolism, and autoimmune disease, underscoring diagnostic challenges.
