Published: January 2023

Oncocytic cell neoplasms are usually found in the thyroid or salivary glands and the kidneys. Adrenal oncocytoma (AO) is an extremely rare localization. It is often non-functional and the suspicion of malignancy is considered when the size of an adrenal incidentaloma is greater than 4 cm. These adrenal oncocytomas, however, are large, round, and encapsulated with a benign presentation and evolution. We report on a 40-year-old male patient. Upon suspicion of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the general physician instructed a chest CT scan, which, fortuitously, revealed a suspicious left adrenal lesion measuring 62x45mm. A biochemical investigation was negative for either pheochromocytoma or Cushing's syndrome, allowing the recommended surgery to be performed. The anatomopathological analysis showed an uncommon benign adrenal lesion, an adrenal oncocytoma.

Schwannomas are benign tumors that can develop in any part of a nerve containing Schwann cells. Skull base schwannomas are rare, representing approximately 4% of extracranial schwannomas. Among these, vidian nerve schwannomas are particularly uncommon, with only a few documented cases.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting, and ultimately benign condition characterised by localised lymphadenopathy. The association of KFD with aseptic meningitis is even more uncommon. We report a case of KFD accompanied by aseptic meningitis in a 31-year-old male who initially presented with lethargy, night sweats, axillary lymphadenopathy, and oral ulcers.

This case report describes Zoon's vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) with coexisting lichen planus (LP) treated with methotrexate. PCV is a rare, chronic, benign idiopathic inflammatory condition of the vulvar mucosa, characterized by a bright-red, chronic lesion of mucosa. Typically, it presents as atrophic, shiny, red plaques that can affect any part of the vulva and can spread symmetrically and bilaterally with the propensity of chronicity and gradual coalescence.

Schwannomas (SCs) are benign tumors composed of neoplastic Schwann cells and are relatively uncommon intracranially. Although these tumors are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), they may also arise idiopathically, and their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with a two-month history of vertigo, gait imbalance, and decreased visual acuity in the left eye accompanied by photophobia, nausea, vomiting, and occasional headaches.
