Intraconal orbital dermoid cyst: a rare location

Intraconal dermoid cysts are very unusual in routine clinical practice. Clinical symptoms depend upon the site and extension of the lesion. Though rare, proptosis, diplopia, and orbital pain are the presenting symptoms encountered in patients with an intraorbital dermoid cyst. Although radiology can be diagnostic, a complete correlation with the final histopathology is always mandatory for its confirmation. Endoscopic excision of the cyst ensures a complete cure for the disease without any intraoperative/postoperative complications.

Primary malignant giant cell tumor of the sternum

Primary malignant giant cell tumor (PMGCT) is a diagnosis based on the presence of a high-grade sarcomatous component along with a typical benign giant cell tumor (GCT). We report the first case of PMGCT of the sternum in a 28-year-old male with painless swelling over the manubrium sterni. The differential diagnoses of PMGCT and giant cell-rich osteosarcoma were considered. Surgical resection was performed, and the reconstruction was done with a neosternum using polymethyl methacrylate and prolene mesh. At 30 months follow-up, the patient is disease-free.
