ABSTRACT Neurilemmomas involving bones are rare tumors constituting less than 1% of central benign tumors of bone. Only few cases of neurilemmomas occurring in the mandible have been reported in the medical literature so far. Here, we report a case of neurilemmoma involving the posterior aspect of mandible in a 15 years old male child. This case was a diagnostic challenge as the clinical features and radiographic features mimicked that of an odontogenic cyst but histologically turned out to be a neurilemmoma. Discussion on the incidence, clinical presentation, radiographic appearance, histopathological features and treatment of this benign neurogenic tumor is presented here.

ObjectiveTo present the current terminology and natural history of neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF).MethodsNF1 experts from various research and clinical backgrounds reviewed the terms currently in use for cNF as well as the clinical, histologic, and radiographic features of these tumors using published and unpublished data.ResultsNeurofibromas develop within nerves, soft tissue, and skin. The primary distinction between cNF and other neurofibromas is that cNF are limited to the skin whereas other neurofibromas may involve the skin, but are not limited to the skin. There are important cellular, molecular, histologic, and clinical features of cNF. Each of these factors is discussed in consideration of a clinicopathologic framework for cNF.ConclusionThe development of effective therapies for cNF requires formulation of diagnostic criteria that encompass the clinical and histologic features of these tumors. However, there are several areas of overlap between cNF and other neurofibromas that make distinctions between cutaneous and other neurofibromas more difficult, requiring careful deliberation with input across the multiple disciplines that encounter these tumors and ultimately, prospective validation. The ultimate goal of this work is to facilitate accurate diagnosis and meaningful therapeutics for cNF.

ABSTRACTParavertebral tumors may interfere with the radiological and clinical features of spinal tuberculosis. We report a case of a 3-year-old boy with spinal tuberculosis who was initially misdiagnosed as having a paraspinal tumor. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was made on the basis of intraoperative findings and confirmed by histopathology. This case highlights the importance of awareness of the different radiographic features of spinal tuberculosis, which can mimic a spinal malignancy. In order to avoid delayed diagnosis, pediatricians and radiologists must be aware of spinal tuberculosis, which may interfere with other clinical conditions.

Abstract Foreign body aspirations that are not recognized at the time of aspiration can lead to insidious symptoms that can present a diagnostic challenge. We report the case of a 70-year-old man presenting with postobstructive pneumonia 2 months after aspirating his own tooth during a meal. He had been mistakenly diagnosed with asthma and treated with bronchodilators before a computed tomography scan of the thorax revealed the impacted tooth in his left bronchus. We review the clinical features and microbiology of postobstructive pneumonia and discuss the rationale of its treatment.

Clinical Illness

Haemophaghocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon illness in adults. It is rare but common clinical features like lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, fever are presentation of many different familiar clinical illness, make it a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a case of a previously healthy young boy presented with fever and other features like hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, markedly elevated serum ferritin, Lactate dehydrogenase, triglyceride, low fibrinogen, persistent hyponatremia and finally detectable Haemophagocytosis in his bone marrow. Unfortunately, diagnosis was delayed around 4 month after his initial presentation and he succumbed to his disease. This case highlights common clinical features and diagnostic difficulties have to face in making confirmed diagnosis of HLH.Bangladesh Crit Care J September 2015; 3 (2): 77-78

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a Schwann cell related benign neoplasm of soft tissue. GCT is an uncommon entity that occurs in a wide variety of body sites, but it is generally presented in the skin, oral cavity, superficial soft tissue, and respiratory and digestive tracts. Most of the GCTs are benign but clinically and radiologically these may mimic malignancy. Histopathological diagnosis is gold standard for establishing the true nature of the lesion. GCT is most commonly solitary but in about 10% of cases can be multifocal, usually involving various skin and soft tissue sites versus involving various internal sites. Therefore, these can involve skin and soft tissue or submucosa and viscera. GCT is usually benign; however, local recurrence is common due to incomplete removal. Malignant cases are rarely reported in 1-2% of cases. In this study, we report clinical and histopathological findings of a 36-year-old woman with metachronous GCT in breast and scalp. The clinical features raise the question of whether these are metachronous benign GCTs or whether this is establishment of malignant behavior. The aim of this report is to present the histopathological and clinical features of GCT and the diagnostic challenge of differentiating benign from malignant GCT.
