A neck mass with soft consistency suggests the diagnosis of a cyst which is usually congenital in origin. Needle aspiration yielding blood should alert the physician the possibility of hemangioma although it is very rare. Ultrasonography and computed tomography will delineate the extent and nature of the lesion and provide the roadmap for surgical excision. We report a case of a girl who presented with a painless neck mass which was later found to be a hemangioma originating from the sternohyoid muscle. The morphology and immunohistochemical stain were consistent with hemangioma.

Introduction: Sarcomas of the Ewing family of tumours are aggressive neoplasms occurring in bone and soft tissue of mostly children and young adults. It usually affects male more than female with peak incidence 10 to 15 years of age, and rarely encountered in adults especially in more than 40 years old. It is an aggressive, rare tumour with a tendency toward recurrence after resection and early metastasis. Case Report: We reported a rare case of Ewing Sarcoma in a 62-year-old woman who had an unusual clinical presentation. She had right painless buttock swelling only for a month. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed soft tissue sarcoma originated from right gluteal muscle. The diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma (ES) was made in a limited diagnostic material in an initial tru-cut biopsy, followed by an excision supported by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Fluorescent In-Situ Hybridization (FISH). Discussion: The purpose of this study is to document ES in an adult woman and its diagnostic challenges in histopathologic perspective. Keywords:

Periosteum is a connective tissue that envelopes the outer surface of bones and is tightly bound to the underlying bone by Sharpey’s fibers. It is composed of two layers, the outer fibrous layer and the inner cambium layer. The periosteum is densely vascularised and contains an osteoprogenitor niche that serves as a repository for bone-forming cells, which makes it an essential bone-regenerating tissue and has immensely contributed to fracture healing. Due to the high vascularity of inner cambium layer of the periosteum, periosteal transplantation has been widely used in the management of bone defects and fracture by orthopedic surgeons. Nevertheless, the use of periosteal graft in the management of bone defect is limited due to its contracted nature after being harvested. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about the structure of periosteum, and how periosteal transplantation have been used in clinical practices, with special reference on its expansion.

Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a malignant smooth muscle tumour of the uterus. It is rare and accounting for less than 2% of cases in malignant gynaepathology. To date, only a few reported cases of leiomyosarcoma arising from leiomyoma documented in the literature. We shared an uncommon occurrence of leiomyosarcoma arising from leiomyoma. Presented herein is a case of a ‘rare epithelioid subtype’ of leiomyosarcoma arising from a leiomyoma in a postmenopausal woman. We highlighted the importance of recognizing the possibilities of this event to allow for a timely diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma and to provide insights on management of patients presented with clinically presumed fibroid.
