    Abstract Background: Lower cranial nerve schwannomas are rare and only 63 cases originating from the accessory nerve have been documented.
    Case description: We report a 61-year-old man who presented with a 3-month history of dysmetria, ataxic gait, and frequent falls. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a giant rim-enhancing cystic lesion at the right cerebellomedullary cistern, which markedly displaced the brainstem and caused a critical compression on surrounding structures and mild hydrocephalus. Even though the nature of this lesion was not clear, it received a radiological diagnosis of meningioma as first option. Surgery was performed through an extended far lateral retrosigmoid approach with C1 hemilaminectomy, with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. A near-total resection was achieved due to the adhesion of the lesion to the brainstem and to the cranial nerves VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII. Intraoperatively, the tumor was found to arise from the accessory nerve. The histopathological analysis concluded with a final diagnosis of ancient schwannoma, a rare histological subtype characterized by degenerative changes, typical from long-standing tumors.
    Conclusion: Very few cases of intracranial ancient schwannomas have been described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this extremely rare histological variant arising from the intracisternal component of the XI nerve. The rarity of this disease at this location may lead to preoperative misdiagnosis.

    Abstract Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei is an uncommon type of granulomatous rosacea characterized by a papular eruption in the central regions of the face. A 43-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic papular eruption on the face that had developed over a period of five months. Physical examination revealed multiple, small, reddish-brown papules, distributed symmetrically on the central area of the face. A biopsy was taken, showing dermal epithelioid cell granulomas with central necrosis and surrounding lymphocytic infiltrate with multinucleate giant cells. No foreign bodies were found in granulomas and no mycobacterial or fungal components were detected. On the basis of these findings, the diagnosis of lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei was made. The patient was given oral isotretinoin 20mg/day with initial slow response. After 6 months' treatment the lesions completely disappeared. Many authors consider this entity to be a variant of granulomatous rosacea. It is a chronic condition that primarily affects young adults. Treatment is usually unsatisfactory. Therapies with corticosterois, tetracyclines, retinoids, clofazimine or topical tacrolimus have been described but there is a lack of controlled studies and convincing results. Our success with a 6-month course of low dose isotretinoin suggests consideration of a longer trial prior to abandoning this as treatment.

    Abstract Background: Secondary malignancies of the thyroid gland are a rare finding in clinical practice. In addition, colorectal metastasis to the thyroid (CMT) is even more infrequently diagnosed. The source of the primary tumor follows demographic and ethnic patterns, which reflects the most prevalent malignancies in the different populations. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide; nevertheless, CMT is infrequently diagnosed. Most of them are identified during the follow-up of gastrointestinal primary malignancies. Due to the improvement of image techniques, oncological treatment, and follow-up, survival and consequent diagnosis of metastatic disease are more frequent. Those facts make this entity a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, due to the lack of information and the difficulties performing clinical trials and research.
    Case summary: Here, we present a case report of a patient diagnosed with CMT of adenocarcinoma of the rectum evidenced during follow-up, 4 years after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, who had subsequent curative surgical treatment of the primary tumor and inter-current lung bilateral metastases.
    Conclusion: Thyroid metastases of extra-thyroid origin are an uncommon finding, even rarer in cases of CMT. The diagnostic process, as well as survival of oncologic patients is improving, and consequently the number of metastases to the thyroid gland is increasing.
