AI Article Synopsis
- - A 52-year-old female cashier had mucous cysts on three fingers of both hands, likely linked to her repetitive hand movements on the job.
- - The cysts appeared near the joints but did not show any bone abnormalities in radiological exams; the growth was solely in the soft tissue.
- - Treatment through cryotherapy and removal of mucus from the cysts led to a full recovery for the patient.
Article Abstract
We describe an unusual case of mucous cysts in 3 fingers of both hands in a 52-year old woman, working as a cashier. The cysts were localized over the joints, between distal interphalangeal joint and the proximal nail fold. It is possible that the job of the patient (i. e. counting money with both hands, repeated straightening and bending of distal phalanxes in the palms) could have influenced the development of numerous lesions. Radiological examination revealed no symptoms of osteopathic changes, only the growth of soft tissue, without any abnormalities in the bone structure. Contact tests showed no allergy to nickel. The cryotherapy and removing mucus form the DMCs caused complete recovery of our patient.

A 77-year-old man with multiple comorbidities presented with cough, dyspnea and nonspecific malaise. Chest computed tomography revealed a mass in the right lower lobe of the lung, along with an associated hypodense lesion in the left atrium. Echocardiography showed a mobile mass in the left atrium, initially suspected to be a thrombus.

- Liposarcomas are the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma, primarily found in deep tissues and the retroperitoneum.
- They include various classifications such as atypical lipomatous tumors, well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL), dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), myxoid liposarcoma, and pleomorphic liposarcoma.
- DDL is especially common in the retroperitoneum and can have both well-differentiated lipomatous and dedifferentiated components, sometimes resembling other aggressive tumors, and can even differentiate into several other cancer types or form bone tissue.

Background: Non-meningothelial intracranial mesenchymal tumors are a heterogeneous group of central nervous system neoplasms endowed with great variability clinically and histologically. For this precise reason, significant difficulties exist in specifically cataloguing tumor entities with such distant characteristics and such uncertain clinical course.
Case Description: In an attempt to increase the knowledge inherent in this type of central nervous system lesions we report a case of a rare and unusual myxoid mesenchymal tumor of difficult anatomopathological classification characterized by rapid progression and optimal therapeutic response after combined surgical and radiotherapy treatment, with histo-molecular definition and DNA methylation profile.

Superficial angiomyxoma is a benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin that affects both sexes with a slight predilection for males. It can present in a solitary or multiple form, within the framework of the Carney complex, an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by the triad: cutaneous and cardiac myxomas, skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity. They occur more commonly in the head and neck, trunk and lower limbs; the location in the genital region and particularly in the scrotum is very unusual.

Article Synopsis
- Malignant psoas syndrome is caused by tumor infiltration of the psoas muscle, leading to severe, challenging pain management with no established definitive treatments.
- A case study of a Japanese man in his 60s showed ineffective pain relief with various medications, prompting the use of palliative radiation therapy.
- Radiation therapy effectively reduced pain early on and showed no adverse effects, suggesting it should be considered as a viable treatment option for malignant psoas syndrome.
