Atypical hemangioma (including sclerosing and/or hyalinizing hemangioma) of the liver is a rare variant of hepatic hemangioma, which is the most common benign hepatic tumor. Atypical hemangioma can be indistinguishable from malignancy, primary, or metastatic, based on imaging characteristics. We describe a case of a 70-year-old man with weight loss, occasional bloody stool, change in caliber of stool, and laboratory abnormalities who was found to have multiple hepatic lesions concerning for metastases. We demonstrate that knowledge of the appearance of atypical hemangioma and its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of hepatic lesions can alter patient management and be important to consider before invasive therapies are planned.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a low-grade malignant tumor of vascular origin. The rarity of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) makes the diagnosis and treatment of this entity challenging. We report a case of a 69-year-old female patient who suffered from HEHE and complained of abdominal distension pain with dizziness and appetite loss for more than half a month.

Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor derived from the neural crest cells that often involves the adrenal glands and rarely metastasizes to the skin. Here, we present a case of a nine-month-old male infant who presented with multiple noncompressible blue-purple subcutaneous nodules, initially suggestive of atypical deep hemangiomas. The ultrasound revealed a lack of increased vascularity of the masses and an adrenal mass, leading to a biopsy and diagnosis of a neuroblastoma involving the adrenal gland, liver, and skin.

Article Synopsis
- - A 22-year-old male experienced progressive swelling and vision loss in his right eye over a month, but displayed no systemic symptoms that would indicate an infection or illness.
- - Imaging suggested benign conditions, but blood tests revealed hematological issues that led to a bone marrow biopsy, confirming acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a favorable genetic marker.
- - After starting chemotherapy, the patient showed significant improvement in his eye symptoms and vision, highlighting the need for awareness of potential blood cancers in young patients with unexplained eye issues.

Department of Otolaryngology, Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University, Zhejiang Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- Laryngeal neuroendocrine neoplasms (LNENs) are uncommon and diverse malignant tumors, with the case presentation focusing on a patient diagnosed with a G2 Neuroendocrine Tumor (G2 NET) after multiple surgeries.
- G2 NETs can sometimes be mistaken for hemangiomas due to their red and lumpy appearance, highlighting the need for better recognition among surgeons.
- Effective treatment involves partial laryngectomy and neck lymph node dissection, as local resection has a high chance of relapse; accurate diagnosis relies on immunohistochemical methods.

Introduction: Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a new subtype of vascular tumor, which has been reported infrequently worldwide. It is associated with visceral malignancies and other immunologic conditions.
Clinical Case: We present a case of a 70-year-old Caucasian male with a 6-year history of myelodysplastic syndrome, which was investigated for splenomegaly and pancytopenia.
