Lipoblastoma: A rare benign, pediatric soft tissue tumor

We report a case of Lipoblastoma in a 4-year-old boy along with a brief review of literature. Lipoblastomas are rare benign tumors that arise from embryonic white fat. These lesions exhibit a wide range of cellular differentiation and maturation. A range of differentiation from unvacuolated spindle cells within the myxoid matrix to increasingly larger and more vacuolated cells to the mature adipocyte, can be noted at high power. These lesions are typically asymptomatic and most cases are diagnosed within the first decade of life. This case report tries to describe the importance of differentiating Lipoblastoma from myxoid Liposarcoma. Lipoblastomas when followed, gradually mature, with the disappearance of the spindle and myxoid elements

Bilateral ovarian actinomycosis masquerading as ovarian malignancy; without any history of intra-uterine contraceptive device

Actinomycosis in the pelvic region is an uncommon diagnosis. This infection is caused by Actinomyces israelii, a gram-positive anaerobic saprophyte bacterium that is a normal inhabitant of the upper intestinal tract in humans. Pelvic actinomycosis is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively and is diagnosed, in most cases, accidentally. Actinomycosis can mimic pelvic and abdominal malignancies. A case report of a 35-year-old female patient with a fixed pelvic mass is presented. Despite the broad use of tumor markers, sonography and computerized tomography, the differentiation between benign and malignant pelvic masses is still a clinical challenge. Accurate differential diagnosis is necessary because the treatment strategies vary greatly. A case of actinomycotic inflammatory disease, which was misdiagnosed as an advanced ovarian cancer, is reported
