Synovial hemangioma is a rare, benign disorder of the synovium that have been reported to manifest within joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. The rarity of the condition and its nonspecific symptomatology makes the diagnosis challenging. Awareness of this entity would help to initiate early treatment thereby avoiding permanent joint damage. We report a case of synovial hemangioma of the ankle joint which is an extremely rare location for such a lesion.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms are an important subcategory of tumours encountered in gastrointestinal tract and lung. Previously known as 'Carcinoid tumours', Considerable confusions prevailed regarding the nomenclature, diagnostic categories as well as prognostic classication of this group of tumours; until recently, in 2018, a uniform framework of classication was attempted by WHO. Here, we discuss nine cases of neuroendocrine neoplasms of GI tract diagnosed in our Institution over past two years, focussing on the application of this classication system, the key concepts behind it and also the points to be addressed in critical scenarios while making a diagnosis. A fascinating case of coexistent neuroendocrine carcinoma and intestinal tuberculosis is specially highlighted in this article, as probably, it is the rst case reported of its genre till now, as far our knowledge goes.

Giant pulmonary hamartoma (diameter > 9cms) is a very uncommon benign tumor with only eleven reported cases. Here we report such a rare case of giant pulmonary hamartoma measuring 12cms in diameter occupying almost whole of the left hemithorax. CT guided FNAC was done in suspicion of a malignant tumor but the cytomorphological features were of a benign cartilaginous neoplasm. The cytological findings were correlated with the radiological features and a diagnosis of chondroid hamartoma was suggested on FNAC. The diagnosis was later confirmed by histopathological examination.
