    Abstract Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm with an intermediate to low-grade malignant potential. Only 5% of PMHEs occur in the head and neck. This tumor exhibits different histological patterns and mimics other vascular tumors, myoid tumors, or carcinomas. The distinction between these tumors can be a very challenging situation for pathologists. In this article, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of PMHE arising in the maxillary sinus, to highlight this uncommon entity and discuss differential diagnoses.

    Abstract Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Over the last decade, pan-genomic analyses of genetic and epigenetic alterations and genome-wide expression profile studies allowed major advances in the understanding of the molecular genetics of ACC. Besides the well-known dysfunctional molecular pathways in adrenocortical tumors, such as the IGF2 pathway, the Wnt pathway, and TP53, high-throughput technologies enabled a more comprehensive genomic characterization of adrenocortical cancer. Integration of expression profile data with exome sequencing, SNP array analysis, methylation, and microRNA (miRNA) profiling led to the identification of subgroups of malignant tumors with distinct molecular alterations and clinical outcomes. miRNAs post-transcriptionally silence their target gene expression either by degrading mRNA or by inhibiting translation. Although our knowledge of the contribution of deregulated miRNAs to the pathogenesis of ACC is still in its infancy, recent studies support their relevance in gene expression alterations in these tumors. Some miRNAs have been shown to carry potential diagnostic and prognostic values, while others may be good candidates for therapeutic interventions. With the emergence of disease-specific blood-borne miRNAs signatures, analyses of small cohorts of patients with ACC suggest that circulating miRNAs represent promising non-invasive biomarkers of malignancy or recurrence. However, some technical challenges still remain, and most of the miRNAs reported in the literature have not yet been validated in sufficiently powered and longitudinal studies. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge regarding the deregulation of tumor-associated and circulating miRNAs in ACC patients, while emphasizing their potential significance in pathogenic pathways in light of recent insights into the role of miRNAs in shaping the tumor microenvironment.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: Numb chin syndrome (NCS), although rare, is an important clinical finding. It may be a metastatic neurologic manifestation of malignancy, often with no clinically visible pathologic finding.
    Case presentation: A 40-year-old female, with prior history of breast cancer, presented to our service with complaint of pain and left mandibular hypoesthesia for four months. Panoramic showed several irregular osteolytic lesions of the mandibular body. CT-scan images showed a large irregular hypodense lesion and a tissue infiltration of the left mandibular body blowing the buccal cortex. Histopathology showed a neoplastic proliferation of carcinomatous cells positive for the cytokeratin AE1/AE3. A diagnosis of breast carcinoma mandibular metastasis was made. The patient was referred sent to the oncology committee. She was treated with Palbociclib and hormone therapy.
    Clinical discussion: In the oral cavity, the mandible is the most common site for metastasis. Metastatic tumors of the oral cavity may be asymptomatic or present different non-pathognomonic. Numb chin syndrome which is considered as an important presentation of oral metastases. The consideration of malignancy as a differential diagnosis may help in early diagnosis and intervention that may affect disease prognosis.
    Conclusion: Dentists and other oral health care providers must be aware of this condition to consider metastatic cancer in patients with unexplained facial hypoesthesia.

    Abstract Intracranial dermoid cysts are benign tumors of congenital origin. The intradiploic forms are rare, exceptional at the pterional level. We report the case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with a cutaneous fistula in the left frontotemporal region. The blind end of the fistula was an intradiploic dermoid cyst in the rare location of the pterion confirmed by imaging and histopathology. Once this lesion is suspected, it is important to identify its location and morphology using imaging techniques and to complete excision of the cyst to avoid complications associated with infection and to mitigate the risk of subtotal resection.

    Abstract Introduction: Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is an unusual localized, reactive benign gingival growth. POF is usually small in size, it's measure <2 cm in diameter, but rarely reaches important sizes. The aim of this work was to present a rare case report of a giant peripheral ossifying fibroma of the mandible measuring >2 cm in diameter, misdiagnosed as peripheral myxoma.
    Case presentation: We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with a large peripheral ossifying fibroma in the oral cavity measuring 6 × 4 cm in diameter. The patient presented with an asymptomatic, slowly growing gingival mass in the left anterior and posterior region of the mandible. It gradually increased in size for more than two years. The patient had a mild mental deficit; however, we performed biopsy surgery, which revealed a peripheral myxoma, and then treated the tumor by excision under local anesthesia. The final histopathological examination revealed a peripheral ossifying fibroma.
    Clinical discussion: This case report shows that POF can grow and reach unusual dimensions that may contribute to occlusal problems. The diagnosis of POF is based on clinical and radiographic features. The histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen can misdiagnose the lesion; therefore, the final diagnosis is based on the histopathological examination of the complete excised lesion.
    Conclusion: POF is usually small, but can reach a larger size. The histopathological examination of the entire lesion is of paramount importance to make a final diagnosis.

    Abstract Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) and its variants, including juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF), represent rare yet clinically significant benign fibro-osseous lesions that primarily occur in children and young adolescents. They can be found in diverse anatomical sites such as the jaw, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and orbit. JOF exhibits an aggressive nature, necessitating early radiological detection and surgical intervention. Similarly, JPOF, with a locally malignant potential, requires surgical removal, typically conducted through endoscopic approaches. We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with JPOF arising in the ethmoid, revealed by recurrent epistaxis and proptosis. The text emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis through histopathology as a diagnostic tool and underscores the need for appropriate management.

    Abstract Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a clonal histiocytic proliferation characterized by large S100 positive histiocytes with variable emperipolesis. Extranodal locations were confirmed with the central nervous system or the meninges involvement in less than 5% of cases, which is marked as a significant differential diagnosis of meningiomas in radiological and intra-operative pathological examination. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are the keys to definitive diagnosis. We present a case of bifocal Rosai-Dorfman disease in a 26-year-old man, mimicking Lymphoplasmacyte-rich Meningioma. This case allows us to demonstrate the diagnosis pitfalls encountered in this localization.

    Abstract Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is the most common fibrous disorder of infancy and early childhood. Solitary intracranial involvement is rare and often unrecognized. This makes its early diagnosis and adequate management difficult. The majority of lesions are localized to the skull or dura with variable intracranial extension. Herein, we report a misdiagnosed and aggressive presentation of a solitary IM of the petrous bone. Our aim is to discuss histopathological differential diagnoses and management difficulties.

    Abstract Rhinoscleroma is a rare benign granulomatous disease in children, the pathogen of which is Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. Rhinoscleroma almost always affects the respiratory tract, the nasal cavities are the most common site, but can also be found over the entire extent of the respiratory tree, clinically the patient often presents with nasal obstruction with other non-specific signs, Histology is the basis of the diagnosis of rhinoscleroma. Early and appropriate medical treatment improves the prognosis and prevents progression to disabling sequelae. We present the case of a 9-year-old child who presented to the pediatric emergency department with a 2-month history of nasal obstruction unresponsive to medical treatment (Oxymetazoline). This was accompanied by mild nasal swelling and intermittent episodes of epistaxis. A CT scan of the paranasal sinuses was performed, ruling out a malignant tumor in the nasal cavity due to the absence of bone lysis. A nasal cavity biopsy with histopathological examination was conducted, confirming the diagnosis of rhinoscleroma. This was supported by the presence of an infiltrate rich in histiocytes and plasma cells, along with the identification of Russell bodies during PAS (Periodic Acid Schiff) staining. The patient underwent a medical treatment regimen involving a sulfamide-based antibiotic therapy (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) for 8 weeks, along with a short-term corticosteroid therapy at a dose of 1 mg/kg/24 hours. At the first follow-up after 1 month, there was a noticeable reduction in nasal swelling and an improvement in nasal obstruction. A second follow-up 3 months later showed favorable results, with complete disappearance of both the swelling and nasal obstruction. Considering the possibility of recurrence, an annual follow-up was decided upon.

    Abstract Primary leptomeningeal melanoma is an extremely rare type of intracranial melanoma. It cannot be reliably distinguished from metastatic melanoma on neuroimaging and histopathological characteristics alone; its diagnosis is established only after exclusion of secondary metastatic disease from a cutaneous, mucosal or retinal primary. Prognosis is poor, partly due to its high rate of misdiagnosis. Herein, we report a case of a primary meningeal melanoma of the skull base with melanomatosis, in a 31-year-old man, mimicking meningioma. Our aim is to highlight the diagnostic pitfalls and to discuss the histopathological differential diagnoses, especially with other pigmented lesions of central nervous system.
