Mediastinal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from lymphatic system malformations, most commonly seen in pediatric populations. In adults, they are exceedingly rare and present diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging overlap with other mediastinal masses. Diagnosis is typically based on imaging, including CT and MRI, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Beyond enchondromas, the most common bone tumors of the hand, there are numerous less common benign bone tumors and mimickers with which orthopaedic and hand surgeons should be familiar. These include other benign cartilage tumors, cystic lesions, osteogenic tumors, giant cell tumor, and fibrous dysplasia. Particularly unique lesions include bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (Nora lesion), florid reactive periostitis, turret exostosis (acquired osteochondroma), giant cell reparative granuloma (solid aneurysmal bone cyst), and epidermoid cyst.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation (XGI) is a rare, benign inflammatory condition of unclear pathogenesis, characterised by infiltration and subsequent destruction of normal tissue by lipid-laden macrophages together with lymphocytes and plasma cells. A 56-year-old gentleman was referred to the urology department of our hospital due to concerns that his right testicle felt firmer than his left over the preceding six months. He was investigated and subsequently underwent a right sided orchidectomy.
