We present a case of a twin pregnancy in which one fetus developed a rapidly growing unilateral intrathoracic tumor. While a cystic adenomatoid malformation was suspected in the ultrasound scan, the magnetic resonance scan suggested a pulmonary blastoma or a bronchioalveolar carcinoma. Postnatal chest radiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the affected newborn were performed, and it was ruled out the possibility of malignant origin. Finally, the anatomopathologic exam revealed the presence of a mesenchymal hamartoma in the chest wall. Nevertheless, parents refused any treatment for the newborn.
The skin covers our body and exhibits a complex structure that is adapted to the different body areas. The scalp skin is distinctive, and the histopathological alterations in its diseases also present distinctive features. We present the clinical case of a 28-year-old female patient, with no significant medical history.
Endobronchial hamartoma is a benign tumor made up of fat, cartilage, and bone tissue, which can either show no symptoms or lead to respiratory issues like cough and pneumonia.
A case study presented a 68-year-old male who experienced a persistent cough for four years but received various treatments and was misdiagnosed with anxiety disorder before further investigation.
After conducting a chest CT and bronchoscopy, the hamartoma was identified and successfully removed, leading to significant relief from his coughing symptoms.
Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma (FSCH) is a rare skin growth that contains both epithelial and mesenchymal tissue, usually presenting as a slow-growing, skin-colored nodule on the face or scalp.
A case is highlighted involving a 45-year-old male with a 4 mm nodule on his temple, which was initially misidentified as an epidermal inclusion cyst (EIC), but further examination confirmed it was FSCH due to its unique structure.
The standard treatment for FSCH is surgical excision, and post-surgery, the patient has not experienced any recurrence, emphasizing the need to distinguish FSCH from EIC in similar cases.
Introduction And Importance: Periductal stromal tumors are rare breast neoplasms characterized by a unique combination of epithelial and mesenchymal tissue. Due to their infrequent occurrence, these tumors are often misdiagnosed as other breast lesions.
Case Presentation: A 47-year-old female presented with a right breast swelling.
Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and related lesions, namely ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO), span a spectrum from true neoplasms to hamartomas. The 2017 World Health Organization classification proposes that AFD and AFO are precursors to odontomas, yet their precise nature remains uncertain. This study examined 19 AF cases, 4 AFD, 15 AFO, 19 odontomas (OD, 14 complex, 5 compound), and 2 ameloblastic fibrosarcomas (AFS), focusing on clinical characteristics, recurrence, and molecular profiles.
