AbstractOsteoid osteoma is a benign tumor of the bones. The adolescent males are the most commonly involved population. Pain of the affected site forms the common symptom during clinical presentation. The lower limbs are the most commonly affected site.We present here a case report of a middle aged gentleman who presented to us with complaints of pain and mass over the non-dominant ankle for four years. Clinical examination revealed a bony hard swelling proximal to the lateral malleolus. The radiographs and CT scan reports were consistent with features suggestive of an exostosis bridging the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis. Surgical exploration revealed a mass with definite borders bridging the distal tibio-fibular syndesmosis. Excision biopsy was performed and the histopathology of the specimen reported features consistent with that of an osteoid osteoma. The patient was started on physiotherapy of the ankle and he was noted to have full range of ankle motion at six months. As no such case has been reported in earlier in literature we present it as a rare case report.

AbstractA rare case of monostotic ossifying fibroma of the dorsal spine in a postpartum woman is being described. Ossifying fibromas of the spine are very rare tumors. They are components of benign fibro-osseous lesions. We report a case of an 18-year-old woman, who presented with complaints of weakness of both the lower limbs in the immediate postpartum period and was diagnosed with ossifying fibroma of the dorsal [D3] vertebral body. The tumor was excised followed by spinal stabilization. Histopathologic findings were consistent with ossifying fibroma. Postoperative period was uneventful. Monostotic variant of ossifying fibroma in the dorsal spine is an extremely rare tumor, and its presence in the postpartum period adds on to the diagnostic dilemma. Hence this case report can be kept in mind while evaluating a case presenting with complaints of weakness of both the lower limbs in the immediate postpartum period.

Ecthyma gangrenosum is a skin manifestation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in immunocompromised individuals. Here we report a case of a 64-year-old diabetic female with Ecthyma gangrenosum lesions on both lower limbs, admitted for surgical debridement. Pus culture taken during surgery showed growth of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The patient was started on appropriate antibiotics with reasonable glycemic control using parenteral insulin. The patient responded well to the above treatment and was discharged.

Nevus Sebaceous of Jadassohn is rare hamartomatous skin lesion. We report an interesting case of an Adolescent Arab male 18yr old, who presented to us with a velvety plaque of 7cm length in his left preauricular area. Excision biopsy revealed Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn with infundibular and keratinous cyst. The lesion is present since birth started as a tiny lesion and grown to the current size. No such large sized lesion on the face has ever been reported in the medical literature till date. We advise an early excision as they have strong potential for malignant change.

A rare case of urinary bladder leiomyoma in a female patient is presented here. A quarter of these cases are asymptomatic only to be diagnosed by ultrasonography. Symptomatic cases are also misleading as in this case. Laparotomy, removal of mass and ultimately histopathology proved the case to be that of a urinary bladder leiomyoma. Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2008; 2(2): 70-71 Key Words: Urinary bladder leiomyoma, laparotomy, excision biopsy doi: 10.3329/imcj.v2i2.2943
