[Juxta occipital epithelioid sarcoma].

A 24 years old female patient with a juxta-occipital epitheloid sarcoma is reported. The lesion, a slow growing assymptomatic nodule, started 5 years ago reaching 4 cm in diamter. It was deep seated in the cervical muscles but easy to surgically remove. No evidence of metastases or local recurrence was detected for the next six months in spite of the limited excision performed. Clinical and histological features of the tumor were reviewed and its differential diagnosis discussed, particularly with synovial sarcoma and clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses. Histogenetic hypothesis were briefly considered and the relevant literature was reviewed.

Adult

[Multiple glomangiomas].

A case of multiple glomangioma in a 25 year old male patient is reported. The lesions started in an eruptive way affecting the upper limbs and trunk. Most of the forty lesions were painless but the larger ones were painful on pressure. Pain was not elicited by cold nor increased venous pressure. The histopathological examination of three lesions revealed a noncapsulated, angiomatous type of glomus tumor with a small number of glomus cells. Sweat glands are often imprisoned by the tumor in the deep dermis. The classification of glomangioma in solitary, multiple regional and disseminated types is discussed and their clinicopathological features are reviewed. The relationships and differential diagnosis with blue-rubber-bleb-naevus and post-traumatic angiomatosis are discussed.
