OBJECTIVETo enhance the knowledge and the effect of the diagnosis and treatment of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the penis.

METHODSOne rare case of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the penis was studied with regard to its primary clinical process and characteristics, differential diagnosis and method of treatment.

RESULTSAn operation was performed on the penis to treat the epithelioid sarcoma. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistological and pathological techniques. There was no evidence of relapse during the three-year follow-up after operation.

CONCLUSIONThe possibility of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the penis should be considered if a mass or induration of the proximal penis and the symptoms of urethremphraxis are found. Total phallectomy could be chosen as an appropriate method of treatment. Unless adenopathy is palpable, node dissections are not recommended.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) of tonsil,analyze its clinical and pathological features, as well as the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. METHOD: Tonsillectomy of low temperature coblation were done with general anesthesia. Histopathology, immunohistochemistry, electron microscope were used to analyzed the features of FDCS. The clinical character and treatment were reported. RESULT: There was no evidence of recurrence in two years. CONCLUSION A correct diagnosis of FDCS was difficult to make , and immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies are useful to FDCS's diagnosis. Low temperature coblation used in FDCS need more experience.

Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumour found in soft tissue; it is a mesenchymal spindle cell tumour that is not related to the synovial membrane. This tumour has a low incidence, and the most frequent place of occurrence is the lower extremities in young adults. Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck accounts for 3%-5% of sarcomas in this anatomical region. The tumor in the nasal cavity is less than 1%. The treatment of choice for synovial sarcoma of the head and neck is complete surgical excision of the tumour mass followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

Recently, we treated a patient with pulmonary vein sarcoma. The patient was a 41-year-old woman, had cough, short of breath and apsychia, with obvious jugular venous distention, rales in both lungs and a diastolic murmur at the apex. CT and Echo revealed a tumor in the left atrium. She received an emergency surgery to remove the mass in the heart. The pathological diagnosis demonstrated it as leiomyosarcoma. Though the patient accepted radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she still died of recurrence and metastasis of the sarcoma 10 months after operation.

Although intracranial dural metastasis of Ewing's sarcoma is a very rare finding, its imaging characteristics are similar to those of its primary form in the central nervous system. Thus, this tumor must be considered in the differential diagnosis of extra-axial dural masses.

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive myofibroblastic tumor that is often mistaken for a sarcoma because of its histological appearance and rapid growth. Involvement of a finger is extremely rare. We report a case of nodular fasciitis of the thumb, accompanied by bone erosion. Magnetic resonance findings suggested the possibility of a malignancy, which could have led to misdiagnosis as a malignant soft tissue sarcoma. Instead, the lesion was treated by excisional biopsy, which confirmed nodular fasciitis. There has been no evidence of local recurrence at recent follow-up, 1 year after surgery. This case illustrates that, to avoid unnecessarily aggressive surgery, nodular fasciitis must be included in the differential diagnosis for any finger lesion that resembles a sarcoma, even if bone erosion is present.
