AbstractLipomatous tumours of the tongue are rare and most of them are benign ordinary lipomas. In this report, we describe the first case of atypical lipoma of the tongue in a 78-year-old male, and review the current literature and controversies surrounding the nomenclature and biology of this unusual lesion.

AbstractObjective:To report the first case of treatment of Nager syndrome associated conductive hearing loss with bone-anchored hearing aids, in a three-year-old boy.Method:Clinical case report and current literature review regarding the use of bone-anchored hearing aids in the treatment of conductive hearing loss in children.Results:A three year eight month old boy with Nager syndrome was successfully treated for conductive hearing loss using bilateral bone-anchored hearing aids.Conclusion:This is the first case report of the use of bone-anchored hearing aids to treat Nager syndrome associated conductive hearing loss. Treatment was safe and successful in this case.

✓Cranium bifidum is an unusual lesion in newborns. The majority of previously reported cases have described enlarged parietal foramina with some scalp and other congenital abnormalities. In this report the authors present the first case of complete cranium bifidum without any other anomaly. The cranial defect persisted for 3 years during the follow-up period. No hereditary or familial transition has been observed. The authors conclude that such an extremely rare occurrence of complete cranium bifidum may be a result of a coincidental mutation.

Hearing loss associated with high-voltage electric shock is a rare entity and minimal information is available in the current literature about this condition. To our knowledge, this article represents the first case report in the literature of improvement in sensorineural hearing loss sustained due to a high-voltage electric shock.A case report of a patient who incurred various otologic problems, including hearing loss and tinnitus, is presented. An improvement in hearing loss and tinnitus was observed in the subsequent follow up after one month. Audiological findings and possible pathophysiology of hearing loss are discussed.We recommend that further studies be done to investigate the incidence, severity and pathophysiology of hearing loss in such cases.

Pilomatrixcarcinoma is a very rare follicular neoplasm that shows matrical differentiation. The majority of these lesions originate de novo, while only a few cases of transformation of pilomatricoma (calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe) have been described in the literature. The neoplasm affects mostly middle-aged males with a male-to-female ratio of 3–4:1. The most common localizations are the face, head, trunk and extremites, though there are a few reports of pilomatrixcarcinoma of the eyelid, eyebrow, axilla and clitorid. Here, we describe the first case of a pilomatrixcarcinoma on the anterolateral surface of the first toe of the left foot of an 83-year-old patient, which developed in less than six months and led to amputation of the distal phalanx. We report a brief review of the current literature with particular emphasis on histopathological features useful for diagnosis.

AbstractAmeloblastic carcinoma is an unusual tumour. There have been a total of 34 cases of ameloblastic carcinoma in the English literature to date. Of these only 11 cases have occurred in the maxilla. The authors report the 12th such case. The histological classification for odontogenic carcinoma has been debated for many years and recently revised, thus differentiating between malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma. The authors review the current literature regarding diagnosis and treatment of this unusual lesion, and support the use of the term malignant ameloblastoma for the tumours that metastasize in spite of their benign histological appearance, whereas, the ameloblastic carcinoma is referred to as the primary tumour with malignant transformation, regardless of its metastatic potential.
