Besides the dysimmunitary and pseudo-lymphomatous adenopathies rich in immunoblasts and plasmocytes (ADPL type I) five cases showed similar clinical and biological data but with frequently otorhinolaryngologic location. The lesions are characterized by important structural changes and abundant epithelioid cells are comparable to Lukes' type III immunoblastic lymphadenopathies and to Lennert's lymphoepithelioid lymphomas. They must be distinguished from Hodgkin's granulomas which are rich in epithelioid cells. They are perhaps due to a disturbancy bearing mainly on the cellular immunity.

Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by and . Meanwhile, leprosy reactions are immunologically mediated episodes of acute or subacute inflammation that occur during the chronic course of the disease. Leprosy and leprosy reaction have a wide range of clinical manifestations, including those resembling psoriatic arthritis.

Introduction: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare sarcoma defined by NR4A3 gene rearrangements, typically featuring uniform cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and mild atypia, arranged in cords or clusters within a chondromyxoid stroma. A cellular variant, characterized by increased cellular density and a solid growth pattern, has been recognized.
Methods: We encountered three cases of round cell sarcomas, diagnosed as EMC based on NR4A3 or NR4A2 rearrangements.

Background: A right adrenal gland may present in the form of adreno-hepatic fusion (AHF), in which the adrenal cells are interspersed among the hepatocytes without septation. This rare, naturally-occurring phenomenon may be associated with preoperative misdiagnosis. We present two cases of adrenal tumor in patients with AHF that were misdiagnosed, despite thorough preoperative work-ups.

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy originating from the pleural lining, with a median overall survival of merely 1 year. This cancer primarily arises from mesothelial cells following exposure to carcinogenic, biopersistent mineral fibers, particularly asbestos. The histological subtypes of mesothelioma are epithelioid (approximately 60%), sarcomatoid (20%), and biphasic (20%), exhibiting epithelioid and sarcomatoid characteristics.

Proliferations of neoplastic perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs) may occur within the lung and extrathoracic sites. The term "PEComatosis" is applied to multiple or diffuse microscopic proliferations of neoplastic PECs. Pulmonary diffuse PEComatosis is extremely rare, with only one case documented in the literature to date.
