Anterior Abdominal Wall Synovial Sarcoma: A Rare Presentation.

Abdominal wall sarcoma belongs to a heterogeneous group of uncommon malignant neoplastic conditions with differentiated morphological patterns and originating from mesenchymal tissues. Soft tissue sarcomas predominantly involve the lower and upper limbs and retroperitoneum. We present a case of a 30-year-old patient, complaining of swelling in the left flank whose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a solid tumour on the abdominal wall of the flank and biopsy turned out to be synovial sarcoma.

Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Maxilla: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Sarcomatoid malignant neoplasm, are extremely rare and aggressive head and neck tumours characterized by twin microscopic differentiation of epithelial cell and mesenchymal cell tumours. The clinical and histopathologic features make it difficult to distinguish sarcomatoid cancer from epithelioid sarcoma; creating a challenge for the pathologist to arrive at a diagnosis. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common head and neck malignancy; of which only 3% show features similar to sarcomatoid cancer. We present a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the maxilla. This has previously only been documented in a few case reports.
