Abstract
PURPOSE To report an atypical presentation of an epibulbar simple cartilaginous choristoma with a unique pigmented multicystic component. CASE DESCRIPTION A 69-year-old African American female presented for evaluation of a right nasal epibulbar lesion that had progressed over the prior year. Slit-lamp evaluation revealed an immobile, mildly pigmented multicystic lesion measuring 6.0 × 4.5 mm that involved the nasal bulbar conjunctiva and the plica semilunaris. The lesion appeared benign, without feeder vessels or features of epithelial dysplasia. Given its recent growth and the patient's cosmetic concerns, the lesion was excised with ocular surface reconstruction. Histopathological evaluation disclosed a well-circumscribed nodule of well-differentiated cartilage in the substantia propria, consistent with a simple cartilaginous choristoma. The overlying conjunctival stroma contained multiple cysts lined by focally pigment epithelium. The patient recovered well from surgery, with satisfactory cosmetic results. CONCLUSIONS Our case of epibulbar simple cartilaginous choristoma includes a prominent superficial component of pigmented epithelial cysts, which has not been previously reported in the literature. This augments our knowledge on the spectrum of presentations of cartilaginous choristomas and underscores the importance of histopathological evaluation for definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
Cartilaginous choristoma is a rare benign lesion of the external auditory canal, generally found incidentally on physical exam in an asymptomatic patient. Our patient had the largest cartilaginous choristomas described in the literature to date. Additionally, this reviews the nomenclature and differential diagnoses of masses within the external auditory canal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) and dermal lesions, such as epidermoid cysts or brachial anomalies, including lateral cervical cysts/sinuses or dermal sinuses of anterior chest lesions, are usually located at the lower neck at the anterior or posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). We aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis and evaluation of CCBRs. METHODS We evaluated 22 lesions of 20 pediatric patients, classified into CCBR and dermal lesion groups. We used Fisher's exact test to evaluate differences between these groups in terms of lesion shape (low-echoic mass- or tubular-like), whether the lesion was adjacent to/in contact with the SCM or not, and the presence or absence of a concave SCM caused by the lesion. RESULTS Of the 22 lesions, 8 were CCBRs, and 14 were dermal lesions. We found a significant difference in the presence/absence of adjacency to or contact with the SCM (presence/absence of adjacency to or contact with the SCM in CCBRs vs that in dermal lesions: 6/2 vs 1/13, P = .002) and presence/absence of lesion-induced concavity of the SCM (presence/absence of lesion-induced concavity of the SCM in CCBRs vs that in dermal lesions: 3/5 vs 0/14, P = .036). The lesion shape (low-echoic mass-like/tubular-like lesions) did not significantly differ between the two study groups (low-echoic mass-like/tubular-like lesions in CCBRs vs that in dermal lesions: 5/3 vs 11/6, P = .624). CONCLUSIONS CCBRs have a strong association with the SCM. These sonographic findings may be useful in the differential diagnosis of dermal cervical lesions.

Abstract
Gastric heterotopia is characterized by the presence of mature gastric tissue outside the stomach, yet its occurrence in the palate has not been previously documented. We describe a case of gastric heterotopia in the hard palate of an elderly female patient, presenting as a swollen mass with associated secretion. Given the patient's age and clinical symptoms, a presumptive diagnosis of a malignant tumor originating from the minor salivary glands was made. An incisional biopsy of the mass revealed gastric heterotopia. Subsequently, the extended excision of the lesion was performed, leading to the full resolution of the patient's symptoms. After a two-year follow-up period, no evidence of recurrence was observed. The importance of this case, underscored by the unprecedented location of gastric heterotopia, emphasizes the critical need for thorough evaluation to avert misdiagnosis, as well as the complete surgical excision of the lesion to prevent recurrence.

Abstract
RATIONALE A choristoma is a rare and benign neoplasm characterized by the presence of normal tissue in an anomalous anatomical location. In contrast, choristoma tend to occur in other body regions rather than within the spinal canal. Before our findings, only 4 cases of intraspinal choristoma had been recorded. Because its composition is complex and very rare, routine examinations, such as magnetic resonance imaging, are difficult to diagnose, and the possibility of its occurrence is often missed in clinical diagnosis. If there is no specificity in its components, such as in this case, even pathological examinations can only confirm the diagnosis as choristoma after eliminating other possibilities. Therefore, in clinical practice, when encountering patients with intraspinal tumors, it is essential to consider the possibility of choristoma. In this case, the choristoma lack of specific constituent composition sets it apart from previously reported intraspinal choristoma, significantly raising the diagnostic challenge, which offers valuable insights for clinical diagnosis. PATIENT CONCERNS A female patient aged 48 years was admitted to our medical center due to experiencing persistent lower back pain accompanied by radiating pain in both legs for 5 months. Based on the findings from the neurological physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging, the patient was diagnosed with an intradural space-occupying lesion located at the level of the first lumbar vertebral body. We performed an enhanced magnetic resonance neurography examination to further determine the positional relationship between the occupation and nerves in preparation for surgery. Postoperative pathological biopsy showed that the mass was an intraspinal choristoma. DIAGNOSIS Intradural extramedullary spinal choristoma. INTERVENTION Occupied lesion is removed surgically. OUTCOMES After surgery, all symptoms were significantly relieved, and when the patient was discharged, all symptoms disappeared completely. There was no sign of recurrence after 1 year of follow-up. LESSONS Intraspinal choristomas are not specific and need to be diagnosed by pathologic examination. Early detection of and intervention for intraspinal tumors can mitigate nerve dysfunction.

Abstract
Key Clinical Message Osseous choristoma is a rare entity, mainly found on the posterior tongue. It is described as a nodular or exophytic lesion with firm to hard consistency. Clinicians should consider osseous choristoma when confronting lesions with the same features. Abstract Osseous choristoma is an unusual growth of ectopic bone in the soft tissue. This lesion is extremely rare, with a few cases reported in the literature, and they typically appear in the head and neck region, particularly the posterior tongue. The current report presents a case of osseous choristoma in the palate of a 51-year-old female. The patient had slight discomfort, which was resolved after surgical excision of the lesion, and no recurrence was observed. This research presents an instance of osseous choristoma in a less common location and concurrently acts as a review of this rare condition.

Abstract
Peribulbar osseous choristoma is a benign, solid nodule; it is a subtype of epibulbar choristomas (belongs to single tissue choristomas), consisting of pure bony tissues. Epibulbar osseous choristoma is the rarest subtype of epibulbar choristomas, with only 65 cases reported since the mid-19th century; so, the rarity of the disease drove me to report it. A 7-year-old female presented with a painless left ocular superotemporal mass, which was present since birth and located under the conjunctiva. The primary diagnoses included lipodermoid and subconjunctival foreign bodies. Ocular interventions included a B-scan, examination under anesthesia and surgical excision of the mass in toto, and the histopathological examination showed that it was an osseous choristoma.

Abstract
Tracheobronchial rests are a rare congenital anomaly where ectopic respiratory tract elements may be found in an abnormal site, such as within the esophageal wall. We present a case of a late presentation of an esophageal intramural tracheobronchial rest with complaints of pain in the left chest wall, vomiting, and loss of appetite for one month. The chest X-ray and mammogram were both normal, but an endoscopy could not be performed due to luminal narrowing. A CT scan shows a well-defined, round, non-enhancing hypodense lesion measuring 2.6 x 2.7 cm in the middle one-third of the esophagus. Upon resection, histopathological examination revealed fragments of tissue lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with respiratory mucinous glands admixed with pools of mucin and underlying strands of skeletal muscle. The subepithelium contains esophageal submucosal glands, which confirm the esophageal origin of the choristoma. The usual presentation is congenital esophageal stenosis at birth with over half of these cases being attributed to tracheobronchial rests. Presentation beyond adolescence is even rarer with a relatively benign course and favorable prognosis. Clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation as well as a high index of suspicion are important to avoid misdiagnosis and to institute optimal treatment.

Abstract
Ectopic liver tissue is an exceedingly rare anomaly in which the hepatic tissue is present extrahepatic site and has no connection to the true liver. Most cases of ectopic liver tissue were asymptomatic and discovered by an accident during abdominal surgery or autopsy. Case presentation Case 1 involved a 52-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital due to an abdominal grip in the right hypochondrium and epigastrium for 1 month. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the gross examination, a well-circumscribed brownish nodule with a smooth outer surface, located at the fundus region was found. Case 2 involved a 40-year-old man with 2 months history of epigastric pain radiating to the right shoulder. Calculus chronic cholecystitis was diagnosed by ultrasound. The patient undergoes elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A gross inspection showed a small nodule attached to the serosa of the gallbladder. Microscopically, both cases revealed ectopic liver tissue. Clinical discussion Ectopic liver tissue is an uncommon entity that occurs during the embryological development of the liver and can be found below and above the diaphragm, especially the gallbladder. Histologically, it usually has the normal architecture of the liver. Although ectopic liver tissue is an exceptional finding, pathologists should be aware of it because it has a high risk of transformation into malignancy. Conclusion Hepatic choristoma is a rare failure of embryological liver development. It should be removed when recognized and examined histologically to rule out malignancy.

Abstract
Background: Neuroglial heterotopia, characterized by mature -neuroglial tissue outside the central nervous system, has not been previously associated with cranioschisis. Case Report: A 4-year-old female patient, with left congenital anophthalmia, had a nasofrontal neuroglial heterotopia protruding through an ossification defect. Discussion: Nasofrontal cranioschisis may be associated with neuroglial heterotopias. The combination of anophthalmia and neuroglial heterotopia, previously described only once in the literature, may be part of a broader malformation spectrum that has not been properly characterized to date.

Abstract
RATIONALE Intraspinal choristoma is a relatively uncommon intervertebral canal tumor. Prior to our reports, only 2 cases of intraspinal choristoma had been reported. Because this disease is not common and looks like a mass of fatty tissue on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intraspinal choristoma can be easily misdiagnosed as teratomas or lipomas (like the case of this article presenting) without a pathology report. So if a lumber intraspinal lesion is discovered in a clinical examination, intraspinal choristoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis. We present a case of intraspinal choristoma that is unlike any other reported case. PATIENT CONCERNS A 35-year-old woman with left lower extremity hypoesthesia and burning-like pain in the lumbar region for 1 month visited the local hospital for plain lumbar spine MRI. The patient was diagnosed with a lumbar space-occupying lesion. A second plain lumbar spine MRI scan and a MRI scan with enhancement were performed in our hospital to confirm the presence of a congenital lipoma in the spinal canal. A postoperative biopsy of the lumbar spinal mass indicated that the mass was an intraspinal choristoma located in the spinal canal. DIAGNOSIS Intraspinal choristoma. INTERVENTION The lesion was surgically removed, and follow-up plain and enhanced MRI images of the patient's lumbar spine were obtained. OUTCOMES After surgery, the patient no longer experienced the burning pain in her lumbar region or the left lower extremity hypoesthesia when the patient was discharged. And there was no evidence of recurrence 2 years after the surgery. LESSONS The MRI presentation of intraspinal choristoma is similar to intraspinal lipoma. Therefore, a pathological assessment is critical to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Ectopic adrenal tissue, defined as the formation of adrenal tissue in an abnormal anatomical location, is not a rare entity and may have clinical significance. Even though the mechanism for their emergence has not been fully understood, numerous cases of ectopic adrenal tissue have been reported, mostly in the vicinity of the original location of adrenal gland, such as in kidneys and gonads. In these cases, most authors attributed their emergence to a probable migration defect. However, this mechanism does not simply explain the ectopic tissues in remote locations, such as in the hypophysis or lungs. This review summarizes these reports, describing many different locations in which ectopic adrenal tissues were encountered, together with their suggested mechanisms.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the clinical characteristics and intraoperative findings of periorbital and orbital dermoid cysts and their relationship to location and rupture. METHODS Retrospective review of 270 cases with orbital or periorbital dermoid cysts that presented over a period of 11 years. Patients were included if diagnosis of dermoid cyst was made by histopathologic analysis. Clinical characteristics and operative outcomes were recorded and analyzed with Chi-squared analyses or univariate regression. Multivariate binary logistic regression was performed to assess predictors of location and rupture. RESULTS Dermoids frequently occurred unilaterally and were more frequently described as mobile (61.5%), followed by fixed (30.8%), and partially fixed (7.7%). Dermoid rigidity was most commonly described as firm (75.5%), followed by cystic, soft, and rubbery. The most common dermoid location was superotemporal (60.4%). On Chi-squared analysis, superotemporal lesions were less likely to have orbital extension than non-superotemporal lesions (OR 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11-0.70, p = .01), less likely to undergo CT (OR 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06-0.41, p < .01) or MRI (OR 0.23, 95% CI: 0.13-0.41, p < .01), more likely to be described as mobile (OR 2.91, 95% CI: 1.32-6.43, p = .01), and less likely to rupture intraoperatively (OR 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11-0.73, p = .01). No variables were associated with rupture in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Superotemporal dermoid cysts are common in the pediatric population, less likely to have orbital extension, undergo imaging, and have intraoperative rupture when compared to other locations in the orbit.

Abstract
Background Hepatic and adrenocortical choristomas are unusual findings in the placenta. This meta-analysis includes our own case report and 23 previously reported cases. We searched for patterns of associated placental, fetal and maternal aberrations in order to determine whether these choristomas are clinically relevant. Case report: In our case, abortion was induced due to fetal central nervous system and renal malformations. In the placenta a hepatic choristoma (<0.1 cm), thrombangiitis obliterans and a single umbilical artery were found. Results: In the literature, the majority of lesions were ≤1.0 cm (n = 21/24, 87.5%) and two hepatic choristomas manifested within chorangiomas. In a subfraction of cases, we found an association with twin/triple pregnancies (n = 6/24, 25%) and heterogeneous non-hepatic/non-adrenal malformations in fetuses (n = 4/24, 17%). Conclusion: Hepatic and adrenocortical choristomas are benign, could be based on focal epigenetic changes and might be related to chorangiomas but are not associated with a particular disease pattern or risk profile.

Abstract
We describe a rare TPIT-positive corticotroph PitNET that is admixed with SF1-positive adrenocortical cells. This dimorphous population of cells showed no colocalisation between TPIT and SF1 by immunofluorescence, and an adrenocortical choristoma was favoured. Methylation array analysis revealed a novel methylation profile in relation to other pituitary neoplasms.

Abstract
Endocervical polyps are a common occurrence in the postmenopausal age group and many reports have described the presence of heterologous elements in the stroma of such polyps. The presence of mature adipose tissue in the stroma has been hypothesized to be arising from the perivascular fat or metaplastic transformation of the smooth muscle cells posttrauma. A 75-year-old female presented with spotting per vagina. Colposcopic examination revealed an endocervical polyp which was excised. Microscopic examination showed an ulcerated epithelium with metaplastic changes along with sheets of mature adipose tissue with focal S100 positivity conferring a diagnosis of choristomatous endocervical polyp with heterologous adipose tissue. The primary clinical concern of a malignant cause in this age group is alleviated by the diagnosis of this rare benign entity. Only three such cases have been reported in the English literature so far, and the present case accounts for the fourth such case.

Abstract
Objective: Reports of heterotopic tissue in the placenta are few and mainly include liver and adrenal cells. We report on adipose tissue found in the placenta. Case report: We present the case of a microscopic finding in a 25-year-old's placenta who suffered from hypertensive disorder in pregnancy. During routine microscopic study, we observed a heterotopic, benign, circumscribed and intervillous nodule of adipose tissue. Conclusion: To our knowledge, there is no other reported case of adipocytes among chorionic villi. Why foreign tissues show up in the placenta remains unknown; however, several new theories offer explanations.

Abstract
Ectopia is defined as the presence of a normal-appearing tissue in an abnormal location, where it is not normally found. In the literature, it is also referred to as heterotopia and is described as choristoma when it forms a mass. Lung tissue ectopia is a rare anomaly and is characterized by the presence of mature lung tissue comprising well-formed bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli at an abnormal location. Occurrence of ectopic lung tissue in the skin is an extremely rare entity and the diagnosis is mostly established by histopathologic examination. This report documents a rare occurrence of cutaneous ectopic lung tissue at two locations (neck and back). Cutaneous ectopia at multiple sites has not been described in the literature till date.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this multicentre retrospective study was to review the clinical data, outcomes and histopathological features of cats that had been treated for ocular surface dermoids. METHODS Thirteen cats from various private practices in France with a clinical diagnosis of ocular surface dermoid were included in the study. RESULTS The mean age of the study population at the time of diagnosis was 5 months. There were nine males and four females. Three different breeds were, including: domestic shorthair (n = 7), Birman (n = 4) and Havana Brown (n = 2). Two of the four Birmans were related (same sire). The two Havana Browns were also related (same sire). All of the dermoids were unilateral. Five of the dermoids were strictly conjunctival. Four affected both the conjunctiva and the cornea. Three affected both the conjunctiva and the eyelid, and one was strictly corneal. They were located in various positions: temporal (n = 9), inferonasal (n = 1), dorsonasal (n = 1) and dorsotemporal (n = 1). The last dermoid was heterogeneous and involved the nasal, dorsal and temporal quadrants. Concurrent eye diseases were observed in five patients: four cats exhibited associated eyelid agenesis and one cat exhibited persistent iris-to-iris pupillary membranes. Ten dermoids were surgically excised with no recurrences. Surgery was not performed for three cats: one cat died a few days after diagnosis and two cats were lost to follow-up after initial presentation. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Ocular surface dermoids are a rare condition in cats that can be treated successfully by surgical excision. Although our study reports only a small number of cases, the observation of ocular surface dermoids in two related cats in two different breeds indicates that genetic transmission is likely.

Abstract
The article describes a case of Goldenhar syndrome that had been diagnosed by an ophthalmologist in a medical consultation by school bullying due to a choristoma. A 15-year-old male patient, who had a nodular lesion with hair in the inferior temporal corneal-limbo-conjunctival of the left eye, was reported. He also had a facial asymmetry, with mild mandibular hypoplasia and malformation of the left external ear, where only an auricular appendage was formed. He denied similar family history and the history of genetic diseases, but revealed that his mother had used ibuprofen during the first 3 months of pregnancy and had gestational diabetes mellitus. Excisional biopsy of the eye lesion was performed and revealed a dermoid cyst. After the exegesis and with adequate multidisciplinary monitoring, the patient reported being very satisfied with the aesthetic result, returning with more confidence to his daily activities. That was a typical case of Goldenhar syndrome that has remained undiagnosed and untreated for more than a decade due to a lack of diagnosis despite its classic presentation. The delay in the approach resulted in social stigma and profound psychosocial damage. The importance of disseminating the correct knowledge of this pathology and of having an early multidisciplinary approach in these patients is emphasized, since the impact on the quality of life is significantly high.

Abstract
By recognizing anatomic and radiologic patterns of rare and often misdiagnosed peripheral nerve tumors/lesions, we have defined mechanisms for the propagation of neural diseases. The novel concept of the nervous system serving as a complex system of "highways" driving the neural and perineural spread of these lesions is described in three examples: Intraneural dissection of joint fluid in intraneural ganglion cysts, perineural spread of cancer cells, and dissemination of unknown concentrations of neurotrophic/inhibitory factors for growth in hamartomas/choristomas of nerve. Further mapping of these pathways to identify the natural history of diseases, the spectrum of disease evolution, the role of genetic mutations, and how these neural pathways interface with the lymphatic, vascular, and cerebrospinal systems may lead to advances in targeted treatments.

Abstract
Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), also known as Haberland or Fishman syndrome, is an extremely rare congenital neurocutaneous disorder that characteristically involves ectomesodermal tissues such as the central nervous system, eyes, and skin. The etiology of the disease remains unknown. Here we present a rare case of ECCL associated with bilateral eye involvement and orbital cyst from Sub-Saharan Africa. A 3-year-old boy presented with cystic right eye swelling since birth. Physical examination showed alopecia on right side of the scalp, ipsilateral ocular cyst, and microphthalmia with a contralateral limbal dermoid. Computed tomography of the brain revealed severe atrophy of the right cerebral hemisphere with an expansion of the cerebrospinal fluid space and dilatation of the lateral ventricle suggesting ex-vacuo hydrocephalus. Right orbital cyst continuous with the globe and calcification of the posterior aspect of both globes were also present. Histopathologic findings of the excised orbital cyst revealed an eyeball covered by fatty tissue, calcification of the cyst wall, and corneal opacity. Microscopy showed cornea-sclera wall composed of normal cartilage communicating with sandwich bony trabeculae with a focus of marrow cells, consistent with choristoma. The constellation of these findings conforms to Moog’s revised diagnostic criteria for ECCL proposed in 2009. Although the disorder is easily recognizable at birth, neuroimaging is essential for appropriate diagnosis and management and to exclude or confirm other unusual associated abnormalities.

Abstract
A 15-year-old Cob mare presented with a 4-month history of chronic epiphora and intermittent blepharospasm in the right eye. On ophthalmic examination, two translucent aberrant hairs were identified at the third eyelid margin corresponding to an area of corneal fibrosis and neovascularization. Partial excision of the third eyelid was performed, and histopathology confirmed ectopic hair follicles. Two weeks later, clinical signs recurred in the same eye. Examination revealed another pair of aberrant hairs on the bulbar surface of the third eyelid near its leading edge. This portion of the third eyelid was also excised, and histopathology confirmed two additional ectopic hair follicles. Eight months later, the horse developed similar clinical signs in the left eye. Ophthalmic examination showed a single aberrant translucent hair at the third eyelid margin associated with focal fibrosis and neovascularization of the ventromedial cornea. Partial excision of the third eyelid was performed, and histopathology confirmed an ectopic hair follicle within the third eyelid conjunctiva. Excision was curative at 4 years postoperatively with no further recurrence in either eye.

Abstract
A choristoma is a tumor-like outgrowth consisting of heterotopic, histologically mature tissue located at an anatomically unusual part of the body. Salivary gland choristoma at the gastrointestinal junction (GEJ) is an extremely rare entity with only one other case reported in the literature. In this report, we present the case of an 87-year-old female with long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) history who was incidentally found to have salivary gland choristoma at GEJ through an upper endoscopy-guided biopsy. We suggest that the finding of salivary gland choristoma at the GEJ could be metaplasia secondary to the patient’s long-standing history of GERD with esophagitis.

Abstract
A 42-year-old female with unremarkable medical history presented for a routine cervical screening upon which an endocervical polyp was identified and submitted entirely for histopathologic evaluation. Microscopic examination showed multiple well-circumscribed nodular fragments of polyp with superficial erosion and focal acute inflammation. Benign endocervical glands were seen within a fibrotic stroma with a prominent smooth muscle component. Intermixed mature adipose tissue and large thick-walled vessels were also identified. Stromal and epithelial atypia were absent; similarly, stromal cellularity, mitoses, and condensation were not identified. Additional deeper levels did not reveal other heterologous elements. The diagnosis of a benign choristomatous endocervical polyp was rendered. As anticipated, the patient recovered completely. A review of the English literature demonstrates rare, namely two other reports of hamartomatous tissue in an endocervical polyp. To the best of our knowledge, we report the third such case.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) presents a therapeutic dilemma. While lacking metastatic potential, it is a locally aggressive tumor with a strong propensity for occurrence near nerve(s) and recurrence following resection. In this study, the authors introduce the association of an occult neuromuscular choristoma (NMC) identified in patients with DTF. METHODS After experiencing a case of DTF found to have an occult NMC, the authors performed a retrospective database review of all other cases of biopsy-proven DTF involving the extremities or limb girdles in patients with available MRI data. Two musculoskeletal radiologists with expertise in peripheral nerve imaging reviewed the MRI studies of the eligible cases for evidence of previously unrecognized NMC. RESULTS The initial case of a patient with an occult sciatic NMC is described. The database review yielded 40 patients with DTF-18 (45%) in the upper limb and 22 (55%) in the lower limb. Two cases (5%) had MRI findings of NMC associated with the DTF, one in the proximal sciatic nerve and the other in the proximal tibial and sural nerves. CONCLUSIONS The coexistence of NMC may be under-recognized in a subset of patients with extremity DTF. This finding poses implications for DTF treatment and the likelihood of recurrence after resection or biopsy. Further study may reveal crucial links between the pathogenesis of NMC and DTF and offer novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Choristomas are proliferation of normal cells or tissue in an abnormal location. Choristomas of oral soft tissue are rare lesions. Different tissues can occur in the oral cavity as choristomas. It can be cartilage, bone, salivary gland, glial and thyroid tissue. Choristomas with the proliferation of chondroid tissue are termed as cartilaginous choristomas. In oral cavity, they are most frequently seen in tongue followed by buccal mucosa and soft palate. We report a case of 40-year-old female presenting with hard lobulated swelling on the left lateral border of the tongue. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed which showed only myxoid stroma. Histopathological examination of excised specimen of the same showed lobules of mature hyaline cartilage. Thus, a diagnosis of cartilaginous choristoma was made.

Abstract
Unilateral cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are rare, but when present, are typically located over the lateral aspect of the neck along the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A CCBR in this location is called a choristoma. Here, we describe a choristoma in a 25-year-old female who disclosed a documented diagnosis of Meniere's disease, and an expressed interest in bearing children within the immediate future. She presented with a unilateral swelling, located subcutaneously, midway over the anterior margin of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle. Due to her history, and the risk of possible radiological exposure to her fetus, an ultrasound-based examination of the neck and cardio-abdomino-pelvic organs was performed. Our clinical findings, details of the ultrasound results, and surgical data will be described.

Abstract
Choristoma is a mass of tissue that is histologically normal for the organ or part of the body from which it originates, but is located at an abnormal site. Choristoma of the nervous system involves the occurrence of residual dysplastic tissues outside the nervous system and exhibits a low incidence. Thus far, there has been no prior report of intraspinal choristoma originating from the striated muscle. The patient in the present case was a young man who was admitted to the hospital wing to intermittent lumbago. A lumbar magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed a cystic-solid lesion in the spinal canal at the S1 level. Preoperatively, the lesion was suspected to be a teratoma and was therefore completely removed. The postoperative pathological report suggested that the mass was an intraspinal choristoma, a benign lesion associated with a good prognosis, which had originated from striated muscle. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression of nerve dysfunction. The patient recovered well postoperatively and the symptoms of lower back pain disappeared. Although intraspinal choristomas are rare, when a lesion in the spinal canal is diagnosed, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis tumors.

Abstract
A 9-year-old Golden Retriever dog was presented to the Veterinary Medical Center with a 3-week history of grand mal seizures and was subsequently euthanized. At autopsy, a discrete, firm, expansile mass was found in the right pyriform lobe, which compressed the ipsilateral hippocampus, thalamus, and cerebral cortex. Histologically, the mass was composed of well-differentiated adipose tissue supported by fibrous and mucinous stroma. Adipocytes exhibited strong immunoreactivity for vimentin and were negative for pancytokeratin (AE1/AE3), glial fibrillary acidic protein, neuron-specific enolase, and synaptophysin. These findings are most compatible with an intracranial lipomatous hamartoma, which is an extraparenchymal lesion that has been identified in several species. The current report describes an intracerebral lipomatous hamartoma in a veterinary species.

Abstract
Cartilaginous choristomas are extraosseous benign tumors. They occur in abnormal sites that usually do not contain chondrocytes. The oral variant of this entity is considered to be very rare, with only 38 cases currently published in the literature. This article presents a case of an oral cartilaginous choristoma lesion. In addition to presenting clinical and histological diagnoses, this article compares the present case to recently reported cases. Special attention was given to analyzing cells of the oral cartilaginous choristoma, which appear as well-differentiated chondrocytes with a pale blue cytoplasm surrounded by a light basophilic stroma and no evidence of malignity. Following surgical excision, the lesion did not recur, which is similar to other reported cases of oral cartilaginous choristomas.

Abstract
The presence of ectopic liver tissue has been reported in various abdominal and extra-abdominal sites, most often in the gall bladder. Other rare sites include the retroperitoneum and the adrenal gland, which are anatomically closer to the kidney. However, our literature search did not reveal any reports of ectopic liver tissue within the kidney. We present such a case, detected incidentally during a fetal autopsy histologic examination, and we review the possible developmental aspects causing it. Ectopic liver is usually asymptomatic, although it can carry pathology similar to the orthotopic liver. It can be associated with other congenital anomalies and, rarely, can be the cause for clinical emergencies. The most significant implication, however, is development of hepatocellular carcinoma because of an increased predisposition compared with the native liver. Hence, we suggest that ectopic liver in the kidney should be considered by histopathologists, even in unsuspecting cases.

Abstract
The development of ectopic gastric, intestinal, or pancreatic tissue in the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare in rats, although it is fairly common in humans. In this report, we describe an unusual case in which a mixture of different types of ectopic tissue was found in the forestomach of a rat. A solitary white nodular/polypoid structure, which measured 5 mm in size, was detected on the luminal surface of the greater curvature of the forestomach in an 8-week-old female Crl:CD(SD) rat. A histological examination revealed that the lesion contained ectopic glandular gastric tissue, including gastric surface mucous cells, parietal cells, and pyloric gland cells, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Moreover, the lesion also contained villin-positive columnar intestinal absorptive cells and chymotrypsin-positive pancreatic exocrine tissue. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to detect a mixture of ectopic glandular gastric, intestinal, and exocrine pancreatic tissue in a rat.

A 24-year-old woman underwent excision of a slowly growing mass located in the right superomedial orbit that had histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings consistent with a choristomatous respiratory cyst. This rare condition may either arise primarily from embryologic respiratory epithelium rests in the orbit or develop secondarily as the result of trauma or chronic sinus disease complicated by mucocele formation.

Abstract
The theory of müllerianosis predicts that embryonic müllerian tissue, misplaced during organogenesis, results in the formation of 4 benign müllerian diseases-developmental adenomyosis, endometriosis, endosalpingiosis, and endocervicosis-(developmental müllerian diseases) that will be identified in human female fetuses, infants, children, adolescents, and adults. Direct evidence is presented to support the existence of developmental adenomyosis, developmental endometriosis, and developmental endocervicosis in human female fetuses along with strong circumstantial evidence supporting the existence of all 4 developmental müllerian diseases in human female infants, children, adolescents, and adults. This evidence throws light upon the pathogenesis of rare müllerian lesions whose pathogenesis remains inexplicable by classical and modern theories. Furthermore, this research has scientific and clinical relevance: scientific relevance because it opens up a new field of comparative research-the 4 developmental müllerian diseases complement the 4 acquired müllerian diseases; clinical relevance because it identifies rare müllerian diseases curable by complete surgical excision.

Abstract
The heterotopic salivary gland or salivary choristoma is defined as a tumor - like growth of otherwise normal salivary gland found in an abnormal location. In general, salivary gland tissue is not observed in the gingiva, with only isolated case reports having been found. The occurrence of the case in the midline, especially in the anterior two - thirds of the hard palate, has not been documented so far (PubMed search engine). It is apparent that these reported cases constitute a unique clinico -pathologic entity. Clinically, they appear as soft tissue tumors and are composed of lobules of salivary gland tissue.

Abstract
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a rare anomaly, resulting from incomplete separation of the respiratory tract from the primitive foregut at the 25th day of life. First clinical signs are abnormalities of the swallowing mechanism caused by the intrinsic narrowing of the esophagus. Diagnosis is usually delayed, requiring an accurate history and high level of suspicion, alongside with an esophagogram. Definite diagnosis is only confirmed by histological examination. Treatment usually involves surgery, depending on the severity, location and type of stenosis. We report the case of an 18 months old toddler diagnosed with CES. The characteristic radiographic and CT features are presented as well as the histology.

Abstract
CONTEXT neuroglial ectopia has been defined as a mass composed of differentiated neuroectodermal tissue isolated from the spinal canal or cranial cavity and remains rare. This lesion has to be considered in the differential diagnosis among newborn infants with classical symptoms of respiratory distress, neck mass and feeding difficulties. We present a rare case of extensive parapharyngeal and skull base neuroglial ectopia in 6-month-old girl who presented respiratory and feeding obstruction at birth. CASE REPORT a six-month-old girl who presented upper respiratory and feeding obstruction at birth and was using tracheostomy and gastrostomy tubes was referred to our institution. Complete surgical excision of the mass consisted of a transcervical-transparotid approach with extension to the infratemporal fossa by means of a lateral transzygomatic incision, allowing preservation of all vital neurovascular structures. The anatomopathological examination showed a solid mass with nests of neural tissue, with some neurons embedded in poorly encapsulated fibrovascular stroma, without mitotic areas, and with presence of functioning choroid plexus in the immunohistochemistry assay. Neurovascular function was preserved, thus allowing postoperative decannulation and oral feeding. Despite the large size of the mass, the child has completed one year and six months of follow-up without complications or recurrence. Neuroglial ectopia needs to be considered in diagnosing airway obstruction among newborns. Surgical treatment is the best choice and should be performed on clinically stable patients. An algorithm to guide the differential diagnosis and improve the treatment was proposed.

Abstract
Heterotopic brain tissue usually involves extracranial midline structures of the head and neck such as nose, nasopharynx, and oral cavity. Its occurrence in the non-midline structures, including middle ear, is rare. We described a 50-yr-old-man with heterotopic glial tissue in the middle ear and mastoid bone. The patient presented with progressive hearing loss for 8 yr. There was no history of congenital anomalies, trauma, or ear surgery. Computed tomography revealed a mass-like lesion with soft tissue density occupying the middle ear cavity and mastoid antrum. At the operation, a gray-white fibrotic mass was detected in the epitympanic area. Mesotympanum and ossicles were intact. The patient underwent left simple mastoidectomy with type I tympanoplasty. During operation, definite cranial bone defect or cerebrospinal fluid leakage was not found. Histologically, the lesion was composed of exclusively mature, disorganized glial tissue with fibrovascular elements in a rather loose fibrillary background. Glial tissue showed diffuse positive reaction for glial fibrillar acidic protein and S100 protein on immunohistochemical study.

Abstract
Heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus is frequently found during endoscopic examination. Although most patients with heterotopic gastric mucosa of the upper esophagus, referred as inlet patch, are asymptomatic, symptomatic patients with complications resulting from this ectopic mucosa have also been reported. Acid secretion by the inlet patch has been suggested in some reports. We report a case of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the upper esophagus, with secretion of acid, demonstrated by continuous ambulatory pH monitoring, and the improvement of pharyngeal symptoms after the use of a proton pump inhibitor.
