Wall Tumor

AbstractPrimary Dirofilariasis is caused by a Zoonotic filarial nematode. It is transmitted to humans by Culex, Aedes, or Anopheles mosquitoes, which ingest blood-containing microfilaria from affected dogs, cats, or raccoons. Chest wall tumors are uncommon lesions that originate from blood vessels, nerves, bone, cartilage, or fat. We report a case of Human Dirofilariasis due to D. Repens occurring in the chest wall in a 32 year old male. Clinical diagnosis of benign chest wall tumor was considered and it was excised. Histopathological examination confirmed it as Dirofilaria repens. On regular follow up he is doing fine.

Rare Case Report

AbstractMesenteric fibromatosis is a part of the clinical-pathologic spectrum of deep fibromatoses. We report this rare case of primary mesenteric tumor that was diagnosed to be a mesenteric fibromatosis on histopathological examination.In majority of patients it may remain asymptomatic and the management of these tumors depends on histopathological examination. Postoperatively, patient was well and subsequent follow up showed normal recovery.

Rare Case Report

Gingival enlargement is a clinical condition that has been directly associated with specific local or systemic conditions. Pregnancy has been considered an attributing factor which increases the susceptibility to gingival enlargement. It is also considered as a risk factor for periodontitis because of its ability to allow proliferation of specific microorganisms and affect host immunological response. This paper presents a rare case report of capillary hemangioma on attached gingiva of anterior maxilla in an adult female which initiated when she was in her 10th week of gestation. After parturition, gingival enlargement further progressed and caused functional and aesthetic problem. Enlargement did not resolve even after non-surgical therapy; therefore, surgical excision of the entire enlargement was preformed. Histopathological examination revealed capillary hemangioma. No evidence of malignancy was seen. No recurrence was seen even after 2 years of follow-up.

Rare Case Report

Plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is a rare benign proliferative disorder affecting various mucosal surfaces usually seen in elderly patients. In the present case, a 66-year-old male patient reported with the complaint of bleeding from the oral cavity and enlarged gums in relation to lower right 1st& 2nd molars. Incisional biopsy of the involved mucosal area confirmed the diagnosis of plasma cell mucositis (PCM). Diagnosis of this condition is complex often needs a biopsy, histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry. Management includes conventional gingivectomy and intra lesional steroid injection. Regular follow up of plasma cell mucositis (PCM) is essential due to the possibility of its clinical persistence. There is the potential involvement of other mucosal surfaces and chances of malignant transformation.

Abstract Introduction: The treatment for most primary chest wall tumors is wide excision. After radical chest wall resection, skeletal reconstruction, when appropriate to preserve the reconstruction, is the essential element for successful management. Case presentation: We describe a case of a 27-year-old male patient who had chest wall and diaphragm reconstruction for a recurrent chest wall tumor, using a single patch of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mesh with diaphragm implanted into the middle of the mesh. There were no operative complications. The patient received post-operative radiotherapy with good functional and cosmetic results. Conclusion: We present a novel and safe technique resulting in stable results after full-thickness multi-rib chest wall resections involving the diaphragm.

Rare Case Report

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) are ubiquitous and are being increasingly reported as human opportunistic infection. Cutaneous infection caused by mixed NTM is extremely rare. We encountered the case of a 46-year-old female, who presented with multiple discharging sinuses over the lower anterior abdominal wall (over a previous appendectomy scar) for the past 2 years. Microscopy and culture of the pus discharge were done to isolate and identify the etiological agent. Finally, GenoType Mycobacterium CM/AS assay proved it to be a mixed infection caused byMycobacterium szulgaiandM. intermedium. The patient was advised a combination of rifampicin 600 mg once daily, ethambutol 600 mg once daily, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily to be taken along with periodic follow-up based upon clinical response as well as microbiological response. We emphasize that infections by NTM must be considered in the etiology of nonhealing wounds or sinuses, especially at postsurgical sites.
