We report a case of multiple cylindromas with a linear arrangement on the lower right extremity. The patient had more than 100 tumors, but the scalp was spared. Some tumors showed overlapping features with eccrine spiradenoma. We believe this is the first report of multiple linear cylindromas.
A case of inflammatory malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mesocolon is reported. The lesion presented as a right lower quadrant abdominal mass, located at the mesocolon, with obstructive symptoms and accompanied by a severe infestation by Trichuris trichiura. It had a benign histologic appearance and was considered initially as an inflammatory and necrotic process with severe tissue eosinophilia secondary to the severe parasitosis. The tumor relapsed 13 months later at the anastomotic site and the patient died. Diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare tumor are discussed.
