Benign tumors of the esophagus are uncommon, representing <0.5% of esophageal tumors. Fibrolipomas are a subset of benign fibrovascular tumors, which present with dysphagia, odynophagia, and substernal fullness. These intraluminal tumors can become elongated and molded into a long pedunculated polyp by constant peristaltic movements. They can cause esophageal obstruction if large and long enough and can cause asphyxiation if they become lodged into the glottis. A barium swallow is the main diagnostic tool; treatment is surgical via a transoral, transcervical, or transthoracic approach. We report the excision of a large esophageal fibrolipoma through a transoral laser microsurgical approach.

Background: Common kinds of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) include well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS). In this case, we present a comprehensive clinical profile of a patient who underwent multiple recurrences during the progression from WDLPS to DDLPS.

Nerve fibrolipoma is a very rare benign tumor, corresponding to fibrofatty proliferation of the epineurium and perineurium, where most frequently, the median nerve is touched. We report the case of a 52-year-old patient who has a giant fibrolipoma of the thenar branch of the median nerve evolving at the level of the thenar eminence, an exceptional size and location for this disorder. Our case presents fibrolipoma of the median nerve in thenar eminence, a size and localization that has not been reported in the literature to our knowledge A good dissection makes it possible to obtain total resection without neurological after-effects.

Objective: In pathology practice, one frequently encounters benign lesions which superficially resemble malignancy clinically and histopathologically. The diagnostic pitfalls can be avoided if the approach exemplified in the present study is followed. We expect that familiarity of these cases will be helpful for pathologists at the beginning of their career.
