The correct indications for surgical treatment of primary splenic tumors as well as metastases of the spleen are challenging due to the rarity of the various entities. Primary solid splenic tumors include benign lesions, such as hemangiomas, hamartomas and sclerosing angiomatous nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen. In these cases, surgical treatment is indicated only in the case of inconclusive imaging and after careful consideration of the risk-benefit ratio, even in the case of pronounced symptoms.

Vertebral hemangiomas (VHs) are common, benign angiomatous lesions of the spine with an incidence rate of 10% to 12% in the population.

We report a case of an atypical VH that was initially thought to be a metastasis in a 75-year-old patient with a newly diagnosed pulmonary nodule.

Cutaneous myoepithelial neoplasms are a heterogenous group of neoplasms with mixed tumors typically affecting the head and myoepitheliomas showing a predilection for the extremities. Their malignant counterparts, myoepithelial carcinoma, and malignant mixed tumor are exceptionally rare in the skin, and the morphologic criteria for malignancy are only poorly defined. The aim of the present study was to characterize the clinicopathologic features of myoepithelial neoplasms presenting on acral skin.
