Three cases of elastofibroma are described and the literature is reviewed. It is suggested that they are non-neoplastic lesions resulting from trauma. Their staining reactions and the response of the elastic type fibres to enzyme digestion suggest that these fibres are either true elastin or very closely related to it.

Review
PURPOSE
The aim of this work is to report a review of the literature concerning epidemiology, clinical and radiographic features as well as treatment of odontogenic myxofibroma (MF).
METHODS
The PubMed database was searched using the following keywords: "odontogenic myxofibroma", "odontogenic fibromyxoma", "myxofibroma of the jaw" and "fibromyxoma of the jaw".
RESULTS
Fifteen articles reporting the experience with 24 patients were identified. Male/female ratio was 1:1.4 and the average age 29.5 years. The most frequent location was the mandible. In 66.7% of the cases the radiographic appearance was a multilocular radiolucency. Swelling was observed in 13 patients (92.86%), varying degrees of pain in 5 (35.71%) and paresthesia in only one patient (7.14%). Six out of 24 patients (26.09%) were treated with radical surgery and 17 out of 24 (73.91%) with a conservative approach. In two out of 21 cases (9.52%) a recurrence was reported.
CONCLUSIONS
MF is an extremely rare tumour and no agreement exist on the causes of its development. According to the present review, the choice of treatment should depend on variables such as localization, presence of a primary or of a recurrent lesion, age, general medical conditions and aesthetic needs of the patient.

Review
The term giant cell-rich tumors of bone refers to a shared morphologic pattern in a group of different osseous lesions, that is, the abundance of osteoclastlike giant cells. Fitting with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations and biological behavior, the recent detection of characteristic molecular alterations in giant cell tumor of bone (H3-3), nonossifying fibroma (KRAS, FGFR1), giant cell granuloma of the jaws (KRAS, FGFR1, TRPV4), and aneurysmal bone cyst (USP6) have contributed significantly to the biological understanding of these morphologically related but clinically distinct lesions and their systematic classification, highlighting differences and pathogenic relationships.

Review
A nuchal-type fibroma is a rare, benign fibrous tumour that typically occurs in the posterior neck along the midline, but can occur in extra-nuchal locations, most commonly in the back, shoulder and face. We present a biopsy-proven case that arose as a result of heavy gym-related activities. In particular, a heavy barbell was rested on his vertebral prominence at the level of C7/T1 during leg squatting. Repetitive trauma as a cause for extra-nuchal-type fibromas has been sparsely reported, but we suggest that sustained high pressure is an additional required feature. Although this lesion was in the posterior neck, it was contained entirely within the subcutaneous tissues without involvement of the nuchal ligament. Hence, it was considered an extra-nuchal fibroma. A description of key ultrasound and MRI imaging characteristics are provided to assist in making the diagnosis, along with a review of the current literature and a discussion of differential diagnoses.

Our experience includes seven cases of ossifying fibroma. The condition also appears in the literature under diagnostic names such as congenital fibrous dysplasia, congenital osteitis fibrosa, congenital fibrous defect of the tibia, and osteofibrous dysplasia of the tibia and fibula. The lesions develop in childhood and are located in the diaphysis of the tibia, or fibula. Of seven patients, we performed wide excision with free vascularized fibular graft in five cases, wide resection of the distal one-third of the fibula in one case, and curettage and bone graft in one case. Two of the patients who had wide excision with free vascularized fibular graft had recurrence. One case of recurrence occurred where incomplete wide excision with free-vascularized fibular graft was performed because the lesion was too close to the distal epiphysis of the tibia. One of the patients who had curettage and bone graft also had recurrence. It was concluded that children who have an ossifying fibroma requiring surgery can safely be treated with wide excision with or without free-vascularized fibular graft.

Review
Cardiac fibromas are the second most common primary cardiac tumors in childhood. They only rarely present in adults. They are mainly located in the free wall of the ventricles and attached to the interventricular septum. Despite their benign pathology, fibromas in some locations can cause significant complications. This video tutorial illustrates the resection of a septo-apical cardiac fibroma in an asymptomatic 26-year-old woman, diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after an abnormal ECG on an occupational medical examination. Surgery was performed through a median sternotomy using cardiopulmonary bypass. A nodular intramyocardial mass was found at the left ventricular apex and resection was carried out. After removing the fibroma, a defect was found at the apex affecting both ventricles. The defects were closed using a direct suture of 4-0 polypropylene "U" stitches reinforced with a Teflon patch to exclude the ventricular cavity. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of benign cardiac fibroma with tumor-free surgical margins. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 5. The outpatient follow-up cMRI 10 months after surgery showed no signs of tumor recurrence and normal biventricular function.

We present our experience on 6 patients (4 females, 2 males) with elastofibroma dorsi. The diagnosis was based on imaging studies along with clinical examination. Surgery was decided due to the symptomatic nature of the tumors along with the consent and willingness of the patients. All patients had an uncomplicated course and long term follow up did not show any disease recurrence.
