Pleomorphic fibroma is an uncommon benign cutaneous tumor that often presents as a single asymptomatic skin-colored lesion with indefinite clinical diagnostic features. Here, we report a case of a 47-year-old female diagnosed with pleomorphic fibroma of the skin in the left shoulder and discuss the importance of immunohistochemistry and special features in histopathology to distinguish some of the differentials.

Fibromyxoid aSoft Tissue Tumor With PLAG1 Fusion-The First Case in an Adult Patient.
Genes Chromosomes Cancer
November 2024
Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Motol University Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic.
With the expanding possibilities of human genome research in recent years, the number of cases of soft tissue tumors that we are able to classify into the correct subgroups and to reveal their molecular profile is increasing. Among such tumors, we can also consider neoplasms that have a specific fusion of genes, in our case namely the pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) and its partner. PLAG1 gene fusions were previously associated mainly with salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas, lipoblastomas, myoepithelial tumors, uterine epitheloid, myxoid leiomyosarcomas, and, recently, with PLAG1-rearranged fibromyxoid soft tissue tumors.

Article Synopsis
- It's crucial to rule out odontogenic origins for any pathologies in the hard palate, and cone-beam computed tomography is essential for diagnosis.
- Small salivary glands in this area can give rise to both benign and malignant tumors, which may present as solid nodules with healthy-appearing mucosa.
- The paper discusses a unique case of a traumatic neuroma in the palate, differentiating it from other possible tumors and emphasizing the importance of excisional biopsy for accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
[Efficacy analysis of 23 cases of parapharyngeal space tumors removed by oral approach assisted by plasma and high-definition endoscopic system].

To explore the selection, efficacy and application of indications for parapharyngeal space tumor resection assisted by plasma and HD endoscopic system through oral approach. The clinical data of 23 patients with parapharyngeal space tumor resection assisted by plasma and HD endoscopic system were retrospectively analyzed in Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from January 2013 to June 2023. All cases were examined by high-resolution CT and MRI before operation, and some cases were examined by CTA or DSA.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the diagnostic potential of MDM2 gene amplification detection using FISH in low-grade osteosarcoma (LGOS), focusing on parosteal osteosarcoma (POS) and low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS).
- A total of 30 cases of POS and 14 cases of LGCOS were analyzed, finding significant MDM2 gene amplification in 91.3% of POS cases and 57.1% of LGCOS cases, while all negative controls showed no amplification.
- Overall, MDM2 gene amplification demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing POS and LGCOS, with 81.3% sensitivity and 100% specificity when considering both
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor: A rare case report with review of literature and its differential diagnosis.
Indian J Pathol Microbiol

Department of Onco-pathology, Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of uncertain histogenesis with intermediate malignant potential presenting commonly in the fifth to sixth decade in the proximal limb and limb girdle. A 65-year-old male patient presented with a slow-growing gluteal mass. Wide local excision performed showed a well-defined tumor in the subcutaneous plane with a partially hard outer shell.
