“…Hemangiomas are generally iso-intense to muscle on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. 11 MRI offers superior soft tissue characterization, enabling a more precise delineation of tumor components and assessment of the extent of local involvement compared to CT. It can show focal heterogeneities which represent areas of thrombosis, fibrosis, or calcification.…”

“…These modalities may be considered for cases involving giant intramuscular hemangiomas, aiming to reduce the size of the larger lesion and mitigate functional and cosmetic impairments. 10 , 11 Alternatively, these therapeutic options can be regarded as palliative measures for IMH, affecting vital organs such as the tongue, where extensive or complete surgical removal may result in undue postoperative morbidity. In such cases, these interventions serve to alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life.…”

Intramuscular hemangiomas are uncommon benign endotheliomas that typically occur in the trunk and limbs. Head and neck involvement is relatively infrequent, with the masseter muscle being the most commonly affected site. We present a rare case of intramuscular hemangiomas arising from the semispinalis muscle. A 31-year-old male presented with a painless swelling in the left upper neck region, gradually increasing in size over the past year. Imaging studies revealed a well-defined mass originating from the semispinalis muscle. Surgical excision was performed successfully, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a mixed intramuscular hemangioma. The patient remained recurrence-free during the 2-year follow-up period. Intramuscular hemangiomas in the posterior neck muscles are rare, with only a few reported cases. Wide surgical resection with control of feeding vessels is the optimal treatment, and follow-up is recommended to monitor for local recurrence. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and successful surgical management of intramuscular hemangiomas in a unique location, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this rare tumor.

BackgroundSinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represents a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology‐based topics spanning the field.MethodsIn accordance with prior ICAR documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence‐Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence‐Based Review, and Literature Review based on level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus‐building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication.ResultsThe ICNST document consists of 4 major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology‐based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention.ConclusionAs an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the adrenal gland represents an exceedingly unusual and highly aggressive form of adrenocortical carcinoma. Its diagnosis is challenging because of its dual histological components: epithelial and sarcomatoid. Most patients are diagnosed at a late stage and die within months of diagnosis. We report on a 51-year-old man who had adrenocortical sarcomatoid cancer. It was diagnosed as a unilateral left adrenal incidentaloma discovered on a CT scan carried out for abdominal pain. By means of this case, we will present the clinical, radiological, and histological profile of this tumor.
