Background: To investigate the incidence and demographic profile of hamartomatous, choristomatous, and teratoid lesions in a Brazilian population over a 49 years-period.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed, and data regarding demographic and clinical aspects were obtained from the medical records of a Brazilian referral center (1970-2019). The collected data were submitted to descriptive analysis and Pearson's chi-square, Fisher's exact, and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p ≤ 0.05).
Results: In a total of 16,412 medical records analyzed, 300 (1.83 %) were hamartomatous, 2 (0.01 %) choristomatous, and 1 (0.01 %) teratoid lesions. Hamartomas were most diagnosed in females and adults. Statistical significance was observed between hamartoma and age group (p < 0.001). Odontoma was the most frequent hamartomatous lesion. In choristomatous and teratoid lesions, there was no occurrence in males. The jaws were the most affected anatomical site by hamartoma. Choristomas were observed on the mandible and tongue, while a teratoid lesion was seen on the floor of the mouth.
Conclusions: Low occurrence of choristomatous and teratoid lesions over hamartomatous lesions and a heterogeneous occurrence profile regarding sex, age group, and anatomic site were observed. Hamartomas are relatively common and benign conditions that may cause damage and require special care during dental treatment. Thus, the dentist needs to be able to identify and treat them appropriately. Likewise, although choristomas and teratomas present no risk to patients and have a lower occurrence than hamartomas, they also require treatment.

A rare case of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor at the sellar region in an adult: Case report and review of literature.
Brain Spine
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital of Nikaia 'Agios Panteleimon', 18454, Athens, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare brain cancer mainly found in children, but can appear in adults, especially in the sellar region of middle-aged women.
- A case study is presented of a 51-year-old woman with AT/RT who had headaches and left ptosis, leading to a diagnosis and treatment that included surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
- Despite treatment, the patient developed lung metastases and passed away seven months post-diagnosis, highlighting the need for further awareness of AT/RT in adults, particularly when considering sellar masses.
Neuropathology Entities Involving the Sinonasal Tract.

Department of Pathology & Immunology, Division of Neuropathology, Washington University School of Medicine, 660 South Euclid Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- Neuropathologic entities, though rare, can affect the sinonasal tract through different mechanisms including embryological defects and ectopic tissue remnants.
- These entities may also arise from benign tumors that extend from the brain or nearby structures, such as pituitary adenomas and meningiomas.
- Additionally, high-grade intracranial tumors like glioblastomas can invade the sinonasal area, making it essential for surgical pathologists to include these in the differential diagnoses of unusual sinonasal lesions.
Posterior pituitary tumors and other rare entities involving the pituitary gland.

Article Synopsis
- - Non-neuroendocrine tumors make up about 10% of primary tumors in the sella, with a variety of unusual, benign, and aggressive types present.
- - The review focuses on key characteristics of tumors related to the posterior pituitary gland and specific types like infundibulum tumors and atypical rhabdoid teratoid tumors.
- - It provides essential information for diagnosing and managing these tumors, highlighting their clinicopathological features.

Article Synopsis
- Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare and dangerous type of cancer that can sometimes occur in the spine, especially in kids.
- A 9-year-old boy had back and leg pain due to a tumor in his spine and had surgery to remove it, which was found to be AT/RT.
- After surgery and treatment, he got better and didn't have any signs of the cancer coming back after 6 months.
SMARCA4-deficient primary bone sarcoma with "teratoid" features in a rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome patient.

SMARCA4 is a catalytic subunit of the SWItch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex. Truncating SMARCA4 germline pathogenic variants (PVs) lead to rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome type 2 (RTPS2), associated with small cell carcinoma of ovary hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) and pediatric rhabdoid tumors. To our knowledge, no primary bone neoplasm with SMARCA4 loss is reported in the literature.
