Superficial myofibroblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor which predominantly occurs in the female lower genital tract. Here we present a case of a 42-year-old female patient with prolonged vaginal bleeding. Radiological imaging revealed a well circumscribed mass in the vagina with a stalk. The patient underwent surgery and the tumor was histologically diagnosed as superficial myofibroblastoma. Notably, this is the first report of the radiological imaging of a superficial myofibroblastoma harboring a stalk arising from the vaginal wall. We compared the radiological images with histological findings and discuss major differential diagnosis of vaginal tumors. Despite the challenging nature of preoperative diagnosis of mesenchymal vaginal tumors, radiological features may aid in differentiating them from other more aggressive entities or malignant tumors.

To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic features of POLE mutant endometrioid carcinoma. Genetic test data of 230 cases of endometrial carcinoma that underwent surgical resection and molecular typing by next generation sequencing in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Seventeen cases of endometrioid carcinoma with POLE mutation were selected.

Article Synopsis
- Superficial leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor from smooth muscle cells, making up about 2-3% of superficial sarcomas, with a slight age preference for patients around 50-60 years.
- This study analyzed 26 cases of leiomyosarcoma to understand their clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes, identifying more cases in the cutaneous subtype compared to the subcutaneous subtype.
- Results showed that even with clear surgical margins, patients had a notable risk of recurrence and metastasis, particularly to the lungs, bones, and liver, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring.*

Vulvo-vaginal stromal tumours are a rare and diverse group of mesenchymal neoplasms unique to hormone-responsive stroma of the vulva and vagina. These tumours are mostly benign, except for the locally aggressive deep angiomyxomas. Often these tumours pose diagnostic challenges, resembling certain malignant vulvo vaginal tumours.

The free fibular flap has been elevated by a "lateral approach" from the posterior edge of the peroneal muscle for more than 40 years. However, in this approach, the surgical view is limited because flap elevation in mandibular reconstruction is performed simultaneously with tumor resection in the supine position, even when using positioning pillows. We herein propose an "anterior approach" as a new surgical method.

Article Synopsis
- Atypical intradermal smooth muscle neoplasm, or cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, is a rare skin tumor that grows slowly and usually isn't very aggressive.
- A study looked at 95 patients with this tumor from 2002 to 2021, mostly men around 58 years old, with most tumors appearing as painless lumps on the legs or arms.
- After treatment, the majority of patients (96%) stayed free of the disease for five years, showing that the outcomes were mostly good.
