Osteoma is a rare, slow-growing benign neoplasm located primarily in the skeleton. Soft-tissue osteoma is exceedingly rare. We report a case of soft-tissue osteoma occurring in the neck paravertebral space in a 25-year-old man. CT examination demonstrated a cancellous densely ossified mass in the right side of neck paravertebral space, with irregular lobulation and clear margin, but without relation to the adjacent vertebrae. The mass was resected, and the pathology confirmed soft-tissue osteoma.

Article Synopsis
- Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the APC gene, leading to colorectal polyps and other health issues.
- This condition can also cause extracolonic manifestations like desmoid tumors and various mental disorders in affected families.
- A case study highlights the importance of mental health care in genetic counseling, as a family with FAP showed connections between the disorder and mental health issues, including autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities.

Gardner syndrome (GS) is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) characterized by colorectal polyps, multiple osteomas, soft tissue tumors, and specific oral manifestations, such as jaw osteomas. GS is caused by mutations in the APC gene, resulting in a nonfunctional protein. This study reports a comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic analysis of a Tunisian family affected by GS.

Article Synopsis
- A 34-year-old man experienced worsening foot pain that initially affected soft tissue but later focused on the midfoot's medial side, remaining undiagnosed for two years despite tests and treatments.
- After noticing soft tissue and bone changes in the medial cuneiform, a needle biopsy failed to provide clear results.
- A 99mTc-MDP bone scan suggested osteoid osteoma, which was confirmed after surgery revealed an intraarticular nidus beneath the tibialis anterior tendon.

Introduction: Open surgical resection involves extended recovery and soft-tissue damage, prompting the development and increasing adoption of less invasive techniques. While Mast Quadrant tubular retractors have been used in spine fusion and endoscopic procedures, their application in minimally invasive tumor resections has not been widely discussed. This report showcases the use of a Mast Quadrant tubular retractor for the minimally invasive resection of a lumbar vertebral body osteoid osteoma.
