AI Article Synopsis
- Rhinophyma is a rare condition that leads to significant swelling and deformity of the nose due to soft tissue growth.
- A specific rare variant called fibrous rhinophyma resembles other skin conditions like fibrous papule of the nose and lupus pernio.
- The paper discusses a unique case of fibrous rhinophyma that was successfully treated through surgery, emphasizing the use of a scalpel and split-thickness skin grafting for effective results.
Article Abstract
Rhinophyma is a rare disease which causes disfiguring soft tissue hypertrophy of the nose. The fibrous variant of rhinophyma is still rare which mimics fibrous papule of nose and lupus pernio. We report an unusual fibrous variant which was surgically managed with the good results. The use of scalpel for sculpting and the use of split thickness skin graft is being highlighted.

Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare, typically benign uterine tumor occurring over a wide age range (mean 52.4 yr). UTROSCTs often harbor translocations between ESR1 and nuclear receptor coactivators NCOA1-NCOA3.

Fibrous dysplasia is a slow-progressing benign condition characterized by abnormal bone formation that leads to some skeletal disorders. Although some of the fibrous dysplasia have unusual clinical and radiographic features that can lead to a challenging diagnosis, most lesions reveal an expansile bone defect due to cortex thinning. This report presented a case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of a 43-year-old woman with involvement of the right maxillary jaw and sinuses, which indicated unusual histopathological features.

Introduction: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MC) is a high-grade variant of chondrosarcoma, essentially composed of poorly differentiated spindle cells interspersed with areas of cartilage or chondroid matrix. MC is extremely rare; it only accounts for 0.1 % of head and neck tumors and for only 1 % of all chondrosarcomas (CSs).

The calvarial bones of the infant skull are linked by transient fibrous joints known as sutures and fontanelles, which are essential for skull compression during birth and expansion during postnatal brain growth. Genetic conditions caused by pathogenic variants in FGFR2, such as Apert, Pfeiffer, and Crouzon syndromes, result in calvarial deformities due to premature suture fusion and a persistently open anterior fontanelle (AF). In this study, we investigated how Fgfr2 regulates AF closure by leveraging mouse genetics and single-cell transcriptomics.

Aims: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm predominantly affecting adults characterised by a multinodular growth pattern and the presence of a fibrous pseudocapsule with areas of ossification. Prompted by the recognition of a non-ossifying ossifying fibromyxoid tumour with lipomatous differentiation which caused diagnostic difficulty, we sought to further explore cases of ossifying fibromyxoid tumour with non-osseous heterologous elements.
Methods And Results: A search of our institutional and consultation archives revealed three additional cases that demonstrated lipomatous components and two cases with cartilaginous differentiation.
