AI Article Synopsis
- Superficial circumscribed lymphangiomas are generally benign growths commonly found in the neck and face, mostly seen in children.
- A clinical case is presented involving an elderly man with a lymphangioma on his tongue, requiring differential diagnosis from conditions like Kaposi's disease and solid tumor metastases.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through a biopsy, and since the patient wasn't experiencing discomfort, the decision was made to monitor the condition rather than proceed with treatment.
Article Abstract
Superficial circumscribed lymphangiomas are predominantly benign lesions occuring in the cervicofacial area. These malformations of the lymphatic vessels are frequently diagnosed in children. We report the clinical case of lymphangioma of the tongue that occurred in an old man. The differential diagnosis was made primarily with Kaposi's disease, circumscribed angiokeratoma and metastases of a solid tumor. The patient had a biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis. The decision was abstention and supervision since the patient was not embarrassed.

Article Synopsis
- Targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma (THH) is a rare vascular lesion that mainly affects adults, usually developing after trauma, with no significant gender preference.
- The review analyzes THH's characteristics, differentiating it from similar conditions like Kaposi's sarcoma and retiform hemangioendothelioma.
- Clinically, THH appears as painless lesions with a distinctive target-like look; histologically, it shows specific vascular features and can be identified with immunohistochemical markers.

Article Synopsis
- Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue tumor often found in subcutaneous tissues, characterized by bland ovoid cells and metaplastic bone.
- The tumors typically pose diagnostic challenges when they present with unusual characteristics, necessitating the detection of specific gene fusions for accurate diagnosis.
- This study discusses six cases of OFMT with atypical features and emphasizes the importance of molecular testing in confirming diagnoses, highlighting a case with a novel gene fusion (EPC1::SUZ12).
A Retrospective Study of the Histopathological Spectrum of Erythema Nodosum Leprosum.
Indian Dermatol Online J

Department of Dermatology and Venereology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- Recent studies on the histopathology of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) are lacking, which this research aims to address by describing its histopathological characteristics.
- A total of 125 biopsies were analyzed, revealing various infiltration patterns with the most common being a well-defined dermal infiltrate, observed in over half of the samples, along with varying degrees of subcutaneous tissue involvement.
- The findings highlighted the presence of immune cells like neutrophils and foamy histiocytes, with some cases showing acid-fast bacilli using specific staining techniques, although limitations included the retrospective nature of the study which hindered comparisons with clinical characteristics.
