ABSTRACT
The spectrum of myoepithelial tumors usually occur in the salivary glands, and occasionally in the skin, breast, upper aero-digestive tract, and soft tissues. The myoepithelial tumors have no sex predominance and usually present within a wide range of age of distribution around the third and fifth decades. We describe a 12 year old male patient with primary malignant myoepithelial tumor in the foot plantar soft tissues. Including this tumor with unusual location, and age of presentation is essential in the differential diagnosis for soft tissue tumors in the pediatric population.

Primary synovial chondromatosis is a benign neoplastic process, occurring mostly in large joints, more rarely in tendon sheaths, and extremely uncommonly in bursae. We describe a patient with primary synovial chondromatosis arising in the fourth intermetatarsal bursa. Knowledge of the bursal anatomy of the forefoot, and of characteristic imaging findings and the pathogenesis of synovial chondromatosis, is essential in including this uncommon entity in the differential when occurring in unusual locations.

El linfangioma quístico es un tumor raro del intestino delgado. Se describe un caso de localización en íleon en un niño de tres años, con historia de 10 meses de evolución con constipación intestinal ocasional y dolor abdominal mal definido asociado a las comidas y que se presentó como un cuadro de abdomen agudo sugestivo de apendicitis. El tratamiento quirúrgico con resección conservadora del intestino y anastomosis término-términal fue curativo. Se discuten los hallazgos anatomopatológicos y se realiza una revisión sobre el tema
