ABSTRACT

Pilomatrix carcinoma originates in the matrix cell and is marked by exophytic growing and common local recurrence. There is no established treatment for wide local invasion and metastasis of the pilomatrix besides wide surgical resection. We report a case of rapidly progressive pilomatrix carcinoma, which arose around an Eloesser open window with direct invasion to the adjacent tissue.

ABSTRACT

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft-tissue tumor that most commonly occurs in the extremities of young adults. There have been several cases of synovial sarcomas of the pleural and lung reported, but synovial sarcoma arising from the chest wall in childhood is very rare. Here we report a case of synovial sarcoma arising from the chest wall in a 3 year-old female patient. The tumor was completely resected. No adjuvant therapy was given. The patient is well 3 years after the operation.

ABSTRACT

Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a rare, low grade soft tissue neoplasm of an unknown histogenesis. It is characterized by sheets of mitotically inactive oval and pleomorphic cells, mono- and multi-nucleated giant cells, intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions and prominent clusters of thin-walled ectatic vessels with perivascular hyalinization. We have experienced a 50 years old male patient who had a palpable mass in his right anterior lower chest wall. The mass was excised and it was confirmed as PHAT. He has been well 2 years postoperatively without recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Cystic lymphangioma is also called cystic hygroma, and it usually appears in the cervico-facial and axillary regions. It is usually apparent at birth and 90% of the cases appear at the end of second year. We have experienced a 64 year-old-male who had a large cystic lymphangioma in the left posterior chest wall. Surgical excision was done, and his postoperative course was uneventful. He has been well for two years postoperatively.
