Review
INTRODUCTION
Pachydermodactyly is a superficial benign digital fibromatosis usually involving the proximal portions of the fingers. It is clinically characterized by an asymptomatic, bulbous, soft-tissue swelling around proximal phalanges and interphalangeal joints. We report here seven new cases of pachydermodactyly.
CASE REPORTS
Seven patients (4 F, 3 M) ranging in age from 14 to 63 years were studied. Two of them were affected by tuberous sclerosis; two other patients were sisters, one of whom was affected by the transgrediens form of pachydermodactyly. The personal history of two male patients revealed the compulsive habit of interlacing the fingers. Finally a 23-year-old patient was affected by the localized pachydermodactyly. In all the patients roentgenogram and echography of the affected fingers as well as histological and ultrastructural of a cutaneous biopsy examination were carried out. The results of the tests confirmed the diagnosis of pachydermodactyly.
DISCUSSION
Our data suggest that pachydermodactyly is underestimated rather than rare and more frequent in females than in males as until now reported in the literature. We suggest classifying pachydermodactyly into five types: classic pachydermodactyly frequently associated with mechanical trauma, monopachydermodactyly or localized pachydermodactyly, transgrediens pachydermodactyly in which the cutaneous thickness extends to the metacarpophalangeal areas, familial pachydermodactyly which may by transgrediens and pachydermodactyly associated with tuberous sclerosis.

Odontogenic myxofibroma of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare tumour; moreover, primary splenic angiosarcoma (PAS) in paediatric patients is extremely rare. We report on a 15-year-old boy who presented with right TMJ swelling and subsequently developed epigastric and right upper quadrant pain. The TMJ swelling proved to be odontogenic myxofibroma and the abdominal pain was a result of primary splenic angiosarcoma with hepatic metastasis. We report for the first time the synchronous presentation of PAS and odontogenic myxofibroma in a paediatric patient, and we describe the radiological features along with the histological diagnosis and clinical outcome. Uptake in (18)F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography is also described for the first time for both these tumours.

BACKGROUND
Lipofibromatosis is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor that usually presents in children. Low incidence and lack of specificity in clinical presentation make its diagnosis difficult.
CASE PRESENTATION
This is a case report of a patient with a giant lipofibromatosis on the back that resembles an infantile hemangioma, which posed great difficulty in diagnosis due to atypical clinical manifestations. After the postoperative pathological and immunohistochemical examination and fluorescence in situ hybridization, the patient was finally diagnosed with lipofibromatosis.
CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of fibromatosis was low. This case presents an atypical clinical manifestation since the tumor growth was on the back, and this can easily cause misdiagnosis. This case suggests that the diagnosis of lipofibromatosis depends on the pathology and fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Review
BACKGROUND
Fibroma of tendon sheath (FTS) is a benign tumor arising from the synovium of the tendon sheath that occurs mostly around small joints such as the fingers, hands, and wrist. However, FTS rarely arises around a large joint (knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle) with intra-articular or extra-articular involvement. The clinical characteristics of FTS arising around a large joint are unclear. An additional 3 cases of FTS arising around a large joint are presented. Furthermore, the published cases and the present cases are reviewed with respect to their clinical characteristics and imaging and histopathology findings.
METHODS
The 43 reported cases including the present 3 patients were summarized, and the patients' profiles, symptoms, sites and locations in the joint involved by FTS, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, surgical procedures, clinical courses, and cytogenetic analyses were reviewed.
RESULTS
The average age of 26 cases was 40.9 years (range 13-69 years), and about 60% of the patients were male. About 10% of the patients had a past history of trauma to the knee joint. Of the present 3 cases, one case was extra-articular around the elbow joint, one case was extra-articular around the knee joint, and one case was intra-articular involving the knee joint. The common symptoms were pain (62.5%), swelling or palpable mass (54.2%), and limited range of motion of the involved joint (50%). The most commonly involved joint was the knee, with 32 cases (74.4%), followed by the elbow in 5 cases (11.6%), ankle in 4 (9.3%), and shoulder in 2 (4.7%). The tumor typically exhibited iso to low signal intensity on T1-weighted MRI. T2-weighted images showed various patterns, but mostly low signal intensity relative to muscle. The surgical margin was marginal resection in all cases. There were no recurrences after surgery. On chromosomal analysis, only the present Case 3 showed an abnormality.
CONCLUSIONS
A total of 43 FTS cases that occurred around large joints were summarized. The most common site was around the knee joint. In FTS cases around large joints, it is necessary to distinguish between various fibroblastic and/or fibrohistiocytic tumors.

INTRODUCTION
Fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS) is a rare benign tumour typically occurring in the extremities, but very rarely involving in the neck.
CASE REPORT
A 22-year-old male presented with a large painless mass of the right oropharynx. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-circumscribed 7cm lesion in the right prestyloid space. The lesion was completely removed surgically. Histopathological examination revealed a fibroma of the tendon sheath of the stylohyoid muscle.
DISCUSSION
These tumours generally arise in the extremities of adults. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of FTS in the neck.
