High-grade B cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (HGBL, NOS) is a new diagnostic category of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) based on World Health Organization statement in 2016. Up to 40% of NHLs are located in the extra-nodal area, commonly involving the gastrointestinal tract, head and neck region, bone and skin. The diagnosis of NHL originating from the inferior turbinate (IT) is rare, and there have been no reported cases yet of HGBL, NOS in IT. In this study, we report on a 43-year-old female who had a nasal polyp in IT and was diagnosed with HGBL, NOS after surgery. Endoscopic polypectomy under general anesthesia was performed. A histopathological report confirmed the resected specimen as HGBL, NOS, with a clear resection margin. Nasal obstruction was improved immediately after surgery and the patient was followed up for 10 months without any recurrence or complications.

Poroid hidradenoma has both features of hidradenoma and poroma. The histological hidradenoma framework consisting of solid and cystic components, and the presence of poroid and cuticular cells resembling a poroid neoplasm. Despite transforming into malignant neoplasm only in < 1% of cases, its histological characteristics may resemble those of malignant neoplasms. Although the risk of malignant transformation is very low, surgical excision is recommended to prevent growth and/or recurrence. To date, very few cases of poroid hidradenoma have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present a case of poroid hidradenoma on the scalp of a 74-year-old woman.

Sclerotic fibroma is a rare fibrous tumor of the skin associated with Cowden’s disease. In 1989, Rapini described sclerotic fibroma without Cowden’s disease as solitary sclerotic fibroma of the skin. It is a solid, well-circumscribed, slow-growing nodular tumor and it looks similar to a keloid scar. Consequently, it is extremely difficult to make a differential diagnosis of solitary sclerotic fibroma with keloid scar based on clinical findings only. The authors report a case of solitary sclerotic fibroma arising at the left lateral thigh of a 25-year-old man.

Synchronous primary cancers in the liver and gallbladder have been rarely reported.We report a case of synchronous cancers of hepatic angiosarcoma and gallbladder adenocarcinoma, mimicking gallbladder cancer with hepatic invasion. Additionally, the clinical implications, the radiologic features, and the diagnostic difficulties are further discussed.

Spinal meningiomas in the epidural location are rare, accounting only 2.5% to 3.5% of all spinal meningiomas. The diagnosis of spinal epidural meningiomas, solely based on imaging findings, can be difficult. They are easily mistaken for metastatic tumors or lymphomas, especially, meningiomas of the enplaque type. Misdiagnosis of meningiomas can affect the extent of surgery and patients' outcome; hence, a careful diagnosis is needed. We report a case of pathologically confirmed epidural enplaque meningioma in the cervical spine with neural foraminal extension. Additionally, its clinical implications, radiologic features, and diagnostic difficulties are discussed.

Hepatic pseudolymphoma is a rare benign liver mass that is characterized by proliferation of non-neoplastic lymphocytes extranodally. To the best of our knowledge, only 46 cases have been reported in the English literature. We described the case of a 75-year-old woman with hepatic pseudolymphoma mimicking a hypervascular tumor. After the histological confirmation of the rectal neuroendocrine tumor, CT scan revealed a 1.0 cm-sized, poorly-defined and low-density nodule in the liver. On MRI, the hepatic nodule showed an arterial enhancement and a low-signal intensity on the hepatobiliary phase. On diffusion-weighted imaging, the hepatic nodule showed a high signal intensity on a high b-value. On fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, it revealed a high standardized uptake value nodule. The US showed the hypoechoic nodule and the US-guided biopsy confirmed the hepatic pseudolymphoma.

Myxoid solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is very rare soft tissue neoplasm. It is microscopically composed of spindle cells which is individually separated by delicate band of collagen fibers. And this tumor cells are immunohisto-chemistrically highlighted by CD34. Myxoid SFT has indolent clinical course and a good prognosis, so it is important to make a diagnosis because of its morphological similarities to myxoid spindle cell neoplasms that have different prognoses and treatment. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a myxoid SFT found in the left temporo-parietal scalp. This case report appears to be the first reported scalp occurrence of this rare tumor.

In this report, we present a rare case of primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the appendix in a 51-year-old woman with right lower quadrant pain. Since non-specific concentric appendiceal wall thickening was found in a radiologic evaluation, it was misdiagnosed as non-tumorous appendicitis. An in-depth examination of the correlation between sonographic and histopathologic findings demonstrated that a single markedly thickened hypoechoic layer was well correlated with the diffuse infiltration of tumor cells in both the submucosal and muscle layers. If this sonographic finding is observed in certain clinical settings, such as potential ovarian and peritoneal metastasis, submucosal infiltrative tumors, including signet-ring cell carcinoma, should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

The term neurolymphomatosis has included infiltration of the peripheral nervous system by lymphoma. In generally, direct invasion of the peripheral nervous system is rare. The difficulty in treatment of neurolymphomatosis is due to unclassified characteristic symptoms and diagnosis. We performed excision of mass on the antebrachial cutaneous nerve with no specific symptoms. After diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, further treatment and observation were followed. However, recurrence of the lymphoma was found in the ipsilateral forearm ulnar nerve, therefore we described a case of neurolymphomatosis with a brief review of the literature.
