Fibrohistiocytomas are soft-tissue tumors of histiocytic origin that have a variety of histological patterns. Although cases of malignant fibrohisticytoma (MFH) of the head and neck have been reported with increasing frequency in recent years, they can be considered rare. However, they probably are more frequent than thought because of the different designations that the disease has received and confusion among clinicians and pathologists regarding these tumors. We report two cases of MFH of the tonsil and larynx, respectively. The histopathological diagnostic criteria, therapeutic indications, and prognosis evaluation are described.

Mohs micrographic surgery in rare cutaneous tumors: a retrospective study at a Brazilian tertiary university hospital.
An Bras Dermatol
January 2023
Discipline of Dermatology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, SP, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Mohs micrographic surgery is a specialized technique for treating skin tumors, particularly effective for non-melanoma malignant forms, though its application for rare tumors has been less studied.
- A retrospective study analyzed the effectiveness of this surgery on 22 rare skin tumors, including various types such as dermatofibrosarcomas, Merkel cell carcinoma, and unique basal cell carcinoma variants, all resulting in no recurrences after six years.
- The study highlights the potential of Mohs surgery for rare tumors but acknowledges limitations due to its single-center nature and limited availability in public health services.
Primary urethral carcinoma: Results from a single center experience.
Actas Urol Esp (Engl Ed)
March 2022
Departamento de Urología, Fundació Puigvert, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.
Introduction And Aim Of The Study: Primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) is a rare neoplastic disease arising in the urethra, without any evidence of a previous or synchronous carcinoma of the entire urinary tract. Since rare diseases are often incorrectly diagnosed and managed, the aim of this study was to analyze the experience of a single urology center in the treatment of PUC, focusing on neoplasms arising from the male anterior urethra.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of patients with neoplasms at the level of the penile and bulbar urethra who presented at our tertiary referral center between January 1988 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.

To investigate the clinicopathological features,immunohistochemical phenotypes, molecular genetic alterations,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the urinary bladder. Ten cases of IMT of the urinary bladder (three cases at Ningbo Diagnostic Pathology Center from September 2011 to December 2020, five in-house diagnosed cases and two consultation cases at Shanghai Rui Jin Hospital from June 2011 to December 2020) were collected retrospectively. The clinicopathologic features and immunophenotypic profiles were studied by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry (EnVision method).

Imaging of the lesions in the lateral muscle compartment of the forearm, alias mobile wad of Henry: Demographics, radiological anatomy and surgical relevance.
Clin Imaging
January 2021
Department of Musculoskeletal Radiology, Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, UK. Electronic address:
Introduction: Mobile wad of Henry (MOH) is a preferred surgical term used to describe the lateral compartment muscles of the forearm consisting of brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis. The lesions in this compartment are uncommon. In this paper, we describe the largest series of the MOH lesions including their demographics, imaging appearances and importance of surgical anatomy whilst managing MOH lesions via radiological or surgical interventions.
