Abstract
Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP) is a rare benign tumor of the lung that may histologically resemble malignant neoplasms, particularly during frozen section evaluation. We report a case of a 19-year-old female with an incidentally detected pulmonary nodule. Intraoperative frozen section examination raised suspicion of malignancy, leading to lobectomy. However, permanent histopathological evaluation revealed the characteristic dual cell population arranged in papillary, sclerotic, and hemorrhagic patterns. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of SP, demonstrating positivity for EMA and TTF-1 in both tumor cell types, while Napsin-A and cytokeratin were positive only in surface epithelial cells. The round stromal cells showed weak estrogen receptor expression, and the Ki-67 proliferation index was low. Recognition of the histological spectrum and immunophenotype of SP is essential to avoid misinterpretation and unnecessary extensive surgical procedures.

Abstract
Hetrotopic ossification  in the gall bladder is a rare condition, with  few reported cases. Its pathogenesis remains unclear, though chronic  inflammation may predispose to the condition. An  18 yr old girl underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to persistent upper quadrant pain, nausea and postprandial vomiting. Preoperative ultrasound revealed a polyp with features  of  cholecystitis. The post operative course was uneventful.  Histopathological examination showed fibromuscular hyperplasia, infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells, including foamy histiocytes in the lamina propria. Rokitansky–Aschoff sinuses were present. The polypoid area exhibited denuded epithelium, mature bone formation and marrow elements without evidence of metaplasia,  dysplasia or malignancy.
