ABSTRACT
An eighteen year old male presented with hemoptysis and superior vena caval syndrome. History and clinical examination revealed a testicular mass which was previously diagnosed as hematocele. Chest x-ray showed a four cm diameter shadow and several smaller shadows. Histological examination of the testicular mass established it as immature teratoma with choriocarcinoma-like lesion (CCLL)--a rare association in testicular tumours. Focal positivity for betaHCG was noted in the testicular tumour. Guided aspiration of the lung showed features of a metastatic non seminomatous germ cell tumour.

A 28 year old male presented with a 8 months history of chest pain, cough and breathlessness. CT scan revealed a large mass in right anterior mediastinum showing fat and soft tissue attenuation. Histopathology of the resected mass revealed a tumour showing extensive areas of mature fat and relatively less interspersed thymic tissue confirming thymolipoma. Because of its rarity, we are presenting this case with a brief review of literature.

Two (2) primary breast sarcomas out of 110 primary breast malignancies from N.R.S. Medical College, Kolkata are being reported. Primary Breast Sarcomas are classified into five (5) broad groups with their representative features. Our two cases are classified as fibrosarcoma and malignant haemangioendothelioma and their features are documented. Because of its rarity, we are presenting this case with brief review of literature.
