A case report about extensive osseous metaplasia of a plantar fibromatosis is presented. The authors are unaware of previous reports in the literature describing osseous metaplasia within plantar fibromatosis in this manner. This case shows that plantar fibromatosis may undergo osseous metaplasia in a fashion similar to fibromatous lesions elsewhere.

Identifying these "subtle" lesions is challenging due to arbitrary interpretation, varied management strategies, unclear clinical significance, and insufficient clinician training in recognizing them. Hysteroscopy offers direct visualization and the capacity to obtain targeted biopsies, making it an invaluable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of these often overlooked conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • A chondroid syringoma is a rare, non-cancerous skin tumor that can have unique characteristics in its tissue makeup, sometimes causing confusion during diagnosis.
  • This report details a case involving this tumor, with unusual bone formation, located on the right upper eyelid of a 60-year-old woman.
  • The patient's tumor showed low levels of cell proliferation (Ki67 index) and after a 36-month follow-up, there was no sign of the tumor returning, highlighting the importance of recognizing this tumor's varied appearances to avoid misdiagnosis.

In recent decades, there has been an increase in the identification of thyroid nodules, both benign and malignant, due to the rise in imaging studies and complementary tests. Among thyroid gland tumors, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) stands out as the most prevalent. Degenerative changes, mainly in the form of nodular goiter, have been recorded, occasionally including areas of calcification and, more rarely, ossification; although the latter seldom progresses to calcinosis.
