Recurrent cutaneous leiomyosarcoma of the anterior abdominal wall: a rare tumor at an unusual site

Abstract

<p class="abstract">Cutaneous leiomyosarcomas are uncommon neoplasms, accounting for 1-3% of all the soft tissue sarcomas. They encompass a variety of clinicopathological features that makes their diagnosis difficult. They are divided into various categories, as this division has an important prognostic implication. We describe a rare case of recurrent cutaneous leiomyosarcoma of the anterior abdominal wall in a 50 years old female. </p>

Benign chondroid syringoma of foot: a clinical dilemma

“…Ancillary tests like immunocytochemistry, cell block formation, liquid based cytology followed by histopathological examination and IHC have also broadened the utilization of FNAC for the definite diagnosis of many tumors including those arising from skin adnexa. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In chondroid syringoma, the fine needle aspirate is usually thick and has mucoid like consistency. A cytological criteria has also been documented for its definitive diagnosis which comprises of a prominent cellular component of epithelial and myoepithelial cells embedded in a fibrillary metachromatic chondromyxoid background.…”

Pleomorphic adenoma of the buccal mucosa: a rare entity

“…Ancillary tests like immunocytochemistry, cell block formation, liquid based cytology followed by histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry have also broadened the utilization of FNAC for the definite diagnosis of many tumors including those arising from salivary glands. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Nevertheless, the histopathological examination of tissue obtained by surgical excision of the whole tumor is essential for the final diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the buccal mucosa. The gross specimen is usually an encapsulated, solitary, well-defined, ovoid or round mass.…”
