Intestinal angiosarcomas are an extremely rare and aggressive vascular tumors, with a few cases reported in the literature. A 45 years-old male arrived to our hospital with intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding presenting melena and weight loss, he has antecedent of pelvic radiotherapy ten years before admission for an unknown pelvic tumor. Emergency surgery was required because of uncontrolled bleeding and hemodynamic instability. Histopathological findings revealed a multifocal high-grade epithelioid angiosarcoma, with cells reactive for CD31, keratins CKAE 1/AE3 and factor VIII. Angiosarcomas are aggressive tumors with a high rate of lymph node metastasis and peripheral organs. The diagnosis is difficult because it present nonspecific clinical presentation, radiological and histopathological findings. There are few reports of angiosarcoma involving the small intestine and the most common presentation are abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. There is not enough information for intestinal angiosarcoma secondary to radiation therapy, but there have been proposed criteria for diagnosis: no microscopic or clinical evidence of antecedent malignant lesion, angiosarcoma presented in the field of irradiation, long latency period between radiation and angiosarcoma and histological confirmation. We suspect our patient course with a secondary form of angiosarcoma. Therapy for bleeding angiosarcoma consists in control of bleeding and medical management to stabilize the patient. Once accomplished surgical resection is required. We should keep in mind this tumors as a cause of obscure intestinal bleeding in patients with medical history of radiation therapy.

INTRODUCTION: Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare complication that occurs in patients with severe hemophilia. Results from multiple episodes of bleeding into the bones and soft tissues. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 31 years old male patient, with severe hemophilia A. Diagnosed with an abdominal tumor 10 years ago during routine screening, that progressively grew to encompass the entire abdominal area, with symptoms of intestinal obstruction. DISCUSSION: Hemophilic pseudotumor appears as a painless tumor of slow growth that can compress vital organs producing bone destruction, muscle and skin necrosis. The tumor may have fistulas or break spontaneously. CONCLUSION: The abdominal hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare pathological entity, with few reports worldwide, but must be considered in hemophilic patients with a well documented abdominal tumor.

Introduction: Chondrosarcoma constitutes 0.2% of all malignant tumors of the larynx. Many surgeons treat it with total laryngectomy due to the limited experience with this neoplasm because its rarity, and although several conservative approaches have been proposed, the data of these techniques are limited and based on retrospective series. Presentation of case: A 52-year-old male with a transglottic submucosal tumor and glottic stenosis in fiberoptic examination showed by tomography a laryngeal tumor that infiltrates vocal cords, glottis, cricoid and thyroid cartilage of 3 × 2.7 × 4 cm. Patient was submitted to total laryngectomy with selective bilateral neck dissection because obstructive tumor. Pathology reported a cricoid cartilage tumor consistent with grade 2 chondrosarcoma. Discussion: Biopsy by laryngoscopy is considered the standard procedure for the diagnosis of laryngeal tumors, however the need for general anesthesia and the difficulty in intubation in some patients with large tumors make difficult to obtain an adequate biopsy in some cases with submucosal tumor. Conservative surgeries should be individualized based on the size and location of the tumor as well as on the patient's general conditions. Radical treatment is recommended for high-grade and large tumors in which conservative surgery would destabilize the cricoid ring. Conclusion: There is no diagnostic and treatment approach established for laryngeal chondrosarcoma, we believe that percutaneous biopsy would be the diagnostic test of choice because it is less invasive and has a high sensitivity and specificity; it could also identify patients who are candidates for conservative surgeries.

INTRODUCTION: Intimal sarcoma is an extremely rare group of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma arising from the intimal layer of vessels accounting for only 1% of all sarcomas, intimal sarcoma of large veins are even less common. CASES PRESENTATION: We present two cases of intima sarcoma, one originated form the basilar vein and the other from the cephalic vein, the first one was treated with surgery and postoperative chemotherapy followed by Radiotherapy (RT), the second case was treated with isolated limb perfusion followed by marginal resection and RT. Both patients progressed to the lungs in a short time, the first case was treated with metastasectomy of the lung and is without evidence of disease 7 months after surgery; the second case treated with isolated limb perfusion has stable disease. DISCUSSION: Intimal sarcoma are very aggressive tumors, with a high metastatic potential, the two patients progressed to lung in a short time (2 months) after local treatment. Both cases exhibit good response to chemotherapy and metastasectomy with a disease – free period of 7 months. CONCLUSION: We propose that given the aggressive behavior of these tumors, they should be treated with chemoradiotherapy postoperative, either by systemic chemotherapy or isolated limb perfusion for the limp sparing surgery in this histology.

Thyroglosal duct cyst is a common anomaly with an incidence of 7% in adults, the rate of carcinoma in TGDC is 0.7-1.6%, and are extremely rare those originated in the hyoid bone. A 60 years old male patient, had a hard mass in the anterior neck. CT revealed a hyoid tumor. Hyoid bone resection was performed, the pathological report show a conventional papillary carcinoma in bone tissue. We rule out primary tumor in thyroid gland. Five years later, he developed a neck node recurrence. Total thyroidectomy and a selective left neck dissection (II-IV levels) was performed. He received radioiodine adjuvant treatment. Hyoid cancer originates of a persistent thyroglosal duct remnants inside hyoid bone. We propose to add a new subdivision to pathology derived from thyroglosal duct remnants). The diagnostic approach with ultrasound and CT are necessary. A primary in te hyoid gland mustang be discorded, and then the entire hyoid bone must be removed. Treatment of the thyroid gland and neck should be considered when there are significant risk factors of recurrence, similarly to thyroid cancer based on the risk assessment.
