Objective: To report a case of palpebral solitary fibrous tumour (SFT).
Clinical Presentation And Intervention: An elderly man presented with a slow-growing painless mass in the lower conjunctival fornix in the left eye. The lesion was excised and it measured 0.9 cm in maximum diameter. The microscopic features were characteristic of a benign SFT, with immunohistochemical reactivity for vimentin, CD34 and Bcl-2 protein. Nuclear staining for progesterone receptor was also observed.
Conclusion: This tumour displayed a benign course, with no recurrence after excision. CD34 immunohistochemistry proved to be a useful adjunct to the microscopic diagnosis.
Introduction: The ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery System (ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc., San Carlos, CA, USA) is expected to be a highly accurate next-generation treatment system that enables gyro-stereotactic irradiation of intracranial lesions. In this study, we report the initial treatment course using ZAP-X for intracranial lesions that recurred after Gamma Knife (GK) treatment.

Lipofibromatosis is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that primarily affects children. There is limited cytological description and management of this rare condition in the literature which leads to misdiagnosis. The two years old patient first presented with a big, non-tender swelling on the scalp's right temporoparietal area.
We report the youngest case of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) with extensive involvement of the nasolacrimal duct system and discuss current literature regarding this tumor type. A 12-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of an enlarging right medial orbit mass. CT orbits revealed a well-circumscribed, enhancing lesion adjacent to the right nasolacrimal system.
Objective: Intracranial hemangiopericytomas (HPC) are rare tumors. Radiotherapy (RT) is frequently performed after surgery, depending on tumor size, location, and the type of resection. Moreover, RT is preferred as an effective treatment for local recurrence and metastasis.
A collision tumor is a rare neoplastic lesion consisting of two or more coexisting, distinct cell line entities. In this report, we present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with a history of colon cancer who presented to the emergency room with visual deficits that had started about eight months earlier. An ophthalmologic examination reported left homonymous hemianopsia, prompting a brain MRI, which showed a right posterior temporal extra-axial mass concerning intracerebral metastatic colon cancer, in consideration of patient history.
