Corresponding author: Nor Eyzawiah Hassan ([email protected]) Abstract: Superficial angiomyxoma is a rare benign skin tumour and usually present as an asymptomatic lesion. It is known to be highly recurrent and complete wide excision is the best treatment. This cace reported of 56 yr old gentleman presented with fleshy, pink coloured right external auditory mass. The mass arisen from the posterior wall of the canal at the bony–cartilaginous junction. Clinical diagnosis of an anaural polyp was made and the mass was excised. However, it rapidly recurred bigger than its actual size within a week. The histopathological examination was reported as superficial angiomyxoma. A differential diagnosis of isolated superficial angiomyxoma should be considered in the case of external auditory canal mass and Carney complex needs to be considered. Complete excision and regular follow up is recommended. Keywords: Benign tumour, external auditory canal, myxoma How to cite this article: How to cite this article: Arepen et al.

Present for 4 weeks. Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited pseudosarcomatous proliferation that may cause clinical alarm due to its rapid growth. It is most common in young adults but occurs across a wide age range. This lesion is typically 3-5 cm and composed of bland fibroblasts and myofibroblasts without significant cytologic atypia arranged in a loose storiform pattern with areas of extravasated red blood cells. Mitoses may be numerous, but atypical mitotic figures are absent. Nodular fasciitis is a benign process, and recurrence is very rare (1%). Recent work has shown that the MYH9-USP6 gene fusion is present in approximately 90% of cases, and molecular techniques to show USP6 gene rearrangement may be a helpful ancillary tool in difficult cases or on small biopsy samples.

A Case Report and Review of the Literature Nadzrin Md Yusof1,2, Noraini Mohd Dusa3, Norhafizah Mohtarrudin1,2, Razana Mohd Ali1,2 1 Histopathology Unit, Pathology Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. 2 Histopathology Unit, Pathology Department, Serdang Hospital, Jalan Puchong, 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia. 3 Histopathology Unit, Pathology Department, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, 50586 Jalan Pahang, Wilayah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ABSTRACT Superficial angiomyxoma (SA) is an angiomyxoid cutaneous tumour. It has predilection for the head and neck, torso, limbs and genital tract. Our case is a 27-year-old female, presented with painless right medial canthal mass for two years. It was associated with tearing when the lesion grew larger. We received a nodular brownish tissue measuring 25x20x15mm with homogenous brownish cut surface. Microscopically, the tumour was partially circumscribed, exhibiting bland stellate to spindle cells of moderate cellularity with pale eosinophilic cytoplasm, indistinct border, in a loose collagenous myxoid matrix with numerous blood vessels of different calibre. The lesional cells were present at the resected margin and were nonreactive towards CD34, SMA and S100. SA of the eyelid is sometimes mistaken clinically as dermoid cyst or lipoma. Reports have shown increased risks of local recurrence following incomplete excision. Close association with Carney’s complex is an important feature. Careful clinicopathologic correlation and proper investigations are needed for optimal patient care.

Abstract Angiomyxoma of vulva are bizarre perineal lesions of skin and mucosal membranes with subcutaneous involvement. These are rare, slow growing benign lesions of mesenchymal origin, affecting women of reproductive age and are associated with high risk of local recurrence. Although angiomyxoma have a tendency of recurrence after excision, but they tend to grow slowly with a low tendency to metastasize [1-4]. Case Report stroma. The latter is rich in collagen and often contains hemorrhagic foci. A defining special feature is presence of variably sized vessels A 40 year old female P2L2 presented with complaint of dyspareunia that range from small thin walled capillaries to large vessels with since past 6 months. On clinical examination, locally multiple small secondary changes including perivascular hyalinization and medial mucosal polyps of approximately 1-1.5 cm were noted all around hypertrophy.
