RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Lymphedematous fibroepithelial polyps are rare proliferations involving the glans penis typically associated with chronic condom catheter usage. To the best of our knowledge, less than 20 cases have been reported in the literature with relatively similar clinical presentation. Herein, we report a case of lymphedematous fibroepithelial polyp not associated with condom usage in a 74-year-old man treated with surgical excision. On histopathological examination, the lesion displayed a hypocellular proliferation of spindled and stellate fibroblasts with intermixed Touton-like giant cells embedded within an edematous stroma with thickened vasculature. Immunohistochemical profiling exhibits strong immunoreactivity for smooth muscle actin, weak positivity for factor XIIIa, and no reactivity for CD34 or desmin. We also conducted a review of the reported range of clinical and histopathological features of this entity in addition to the various hypotheses regarding its pathogenesis. We hope to increase awareness and accurate diagnosis of this entity, which could affect clinical management.

We report a case of radiation-induced myofibroblastoma of the right nasal cavity in a patient with a remote history of radiotherapy for pediatric retinoblastoma. The patient required maxillectomy and ethmoidectomy. To our knowledge, a rare number of cases have been reported in this location.
