Astroblastoma is a rare primary central nervous system tumor of controversial site of origin. They account for 0.45-2.8% of all primary neuroepithelial central nervous system. It has been reported in paediatric age group with bimodal age distribution affecting more females with male to female ratio being 1:11. Astroblastomas are controversial and challenging tumors in terms of diagnosis and therapeutics. Since it carries an unpredictable disease course it needs a regular follow up even for low grade tumor. Authors have tried various schedules of post op radiotherapy after maximum safe resection. Various chemotherapeutic drugs combination have also been tried without much success. We here report a 35 years old female patient who was diagnosed with high grade astroblastoma referred for post-operative radiotherapy after gross total resection. Since it is extremely rare tumor, its treatment still not well defined and also makes it difficult conduct studies to examine tumor characteristics.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, locally invasive mesenchymal tumor predominantly presenting in women of reproductive age and also having a moderate-to-high risk for local relapse. Hence, it needs to be differentiated from other mesenchymal tumors occurring in this region. We present here a case of a 47 Year old female, with chief complaints of prolapsed uterus since 6 months. During clinical examination, posterior vaginal wall swelling was also identified. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingoophrectomy was done along with removal of posterior vaginal wall swelling. On histopathology, diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma was made. We report this case because of its rarity.

Adenomatoid tumors are rare benign neoplasms of the paratesticular region, most commonly occurring at the tail of the epididymis. We present a case of adenomatoid tumor in a 65 year old male, known case of prostatic adenocarcinoma, who presented in Urology OPD with painless swelling in testis. Bilateral orchidectomy was done with clinical suspicion of testicular carcinoma. On histopathology, diagnosis of adenomatoid tumor of epididymis was made. Due to its rarity, it is important for the physician and pathologist to be aware of this interesting entity in order to make a correct diagnosis.

Lipomas are the common benign tumors of adipose tissue, but sometimes clinically and grossly they simulate malignancy. Lipomas can also occur in deep soft tissues. One of its rare subtype is Intramuscular lipoma which arise within the skeletal muscle fibers. Most common site is trunk, but can also occur in thigh and head and neck. 20 % recur due to incomplete excision. Histopathology is must for confirmation of the diagnosis. Prognosis of intramuscular lipoma is very good and marginal excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of a 23 Year old female, who presented in surgery OPD with chief complaint of swelling at upper right side of back since 1 year. She got operated for the same 8 months back but presented with similar complaint at same site after 4 months. Excision of the swelling was done and sent for histopathology. On gross examination skin covered soft tissue piece, grayish brown in color was received. Histopathology revealed Infiltrating intramuscular lipoma. The case was reported because of its rarity.
