Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy that arises from adipocytes and can expand significantly before manifesting clinical symptoms. Instances of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma, defined as tumors larger than 30 cm, are extremely rare, with fewer than 20 reported cases. This case report presents a 68-year-old patient with a significant abdominal mass, ultimately identified and treated as a well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Giant congenital melanocytic nevi are large pigmented premalignant lesions present at birth that have an associated risk of malignant transformation. Full-thickness excision of these lesions would be required to eliminate this risk. However, giant nevi can leave behind large defects that can be challenging to reconstruct.

Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) are neoplasms that exhibit slow growth patterns and are closely associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Recent research indicates that TFE3/TFEB-targeted biomarker glycoprotein nonmetastatic B (GPNMB) is upregulated inTSC1/2-related tumours. In this study, we performed molecular analysis on SEGAs and analyzed GPNMB expression in 6 SEGAs, 10 PXAs, 9 GBMs, 8 eGBMs, 8 diffuse astrocytomas, 8 oligodendrogliomas and 7 glioneuronal tumours through immunohistochemistry, 100 % (6/6) of the SEGA cases exhibited positive GPNMB expression, whereas it was negative in all other CNS tumours.

Glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant primary brain tumor. Although the survival is generally dismal for glioblastoma patients, risk stratification and the identification of high-risk subgroups is important for prompt and aggressive management. The G1-G7 molecular subgroup classification based on the MAPK pathway activation has offered for the first time a non-redundant, all-inclusive classification of adult glioblastoma.
