Diagnostic Challenge

Abstract Intussusception of the appendix is a rare disease that constitutes a diagnostic challenge to the surgeon. Intussusception is defined as the telescoping of a segment of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent one. We are reporting a case of a 14-year-old boy who presented in our institution with the features of acute appendicitis. On exploration appendiculo-cecal intussusception was found for which right hemicolectomy with ileotransverse colon anastomosis was done.

Abstract Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare tumor of appendix it accounts for only 0.4% of the gastrointestinal tract malignancies and is reported rarely in literature. Therefore the surgical management is not yet established. Here we report a case of a 65 year old female who presented with a dragging sensation and a feeling of mass in right iliac fossa. Her computed tomography (CT) suggested an abscess formation of the parietal peritoneum. She was planned for laparotomy and upon exploration a mass was found arising from tip of retroperitoneal appendix. Whole of the appendix was studded with mucoid material. Limited right hemicolectomy was performed and histopathology of appendix showed mucinous cystadenoma with no evidence of malignant changes. Patient remained uneventful and was discharged on 4th post operative day. The unusual presentation of retroperitoneal pseudomyxoma without any intraperitoneal pathology, prompted us to report this case. Continuous...

Meconium periorchitis (MPO) is an uncommon entity associated with healed meconium peritonitis. The typical presentation is a soft hydrocele at birth which becomes harder in weeks as the meconium calcifies. A lack of awareness of this rare disease may lead to unnecessary surgery of scrotal masses. It can resolve spontaneously without compromising the testicle. Scrotal ultrasound is the mainstay of imaging and abdominal plain film is less sensitive but can help in the diagnosis. We report a case of a meconium periorchitis and discuss its radiological and histological features. We also review the relevant literature.

Background: Amyloidosis refers to a group of depositional diseases that are classified into two main types: systemic and localized. Large nodules of localized cutaneous amyloidosis of the nasal ala and surrounding skin are rare and the treatment is often unsatisfactory. Objective: We report a case of rapidly enlarging, localized, nodular cutaneous amyloidosis of the nose and the surrounding skin with a brief review of the current literature regarding treatment of this rare disease. Conclusion: Nodular amyloidosis can be treated successfully with cold steel excision in combination with carbon dioxide laser. Close followup of these patients is warranted, as nodular amyloidosis may be the precursor to systemic amyloidosis.

Epithelial Metaplasia

Endometrial epithelial metaplasia is described as transition of the normal endometrial epithelial cells by benign complex proliferation of cells. These metaplastic changes have been frequently reported as associated changes in endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma more than non-neoplastic samples and are also known to appear atypical occasionally, and hence can be a diagnostic challenge. Eosinophilic cell change is one of the most frequently encountered endometrial metaplasias. Eosinophilic syncytial change is a form of eosinophilic endometrial metaplasia, and is known to mimic endometrial serous carcinoma, again posing a diagnostic challenge. In this article, we have presented a case of endometrial eosinophilic metaplasia in a 47-year-old patient along with a brief discussion on immunohistochemical characteristics of eosinophilic syncytial change that could help pathologists to differentiate them from malignancies in challenging scenarios.

Infection Stage

This article reports an orofacial infection caused by Drechslera hawaiiensis that normally is mortal to the patient. The case was surgically treated in Cali - Colombia in 1984 by teeth removal, and osteototomy of affected bone in the hard palate and the base of the vomer bone. Twenty years later the patient resulted infected by Dreschslera curvularia but survived both infections. A literature review (Pubmed - 2011) showed that only another case report by Drechslera hawaiiensis the patient survived. This other case was reported in the Anderson Hospital Institute in 1984. It is unknown if there is a chronic infection stage and the transmission mode of this pathogen. In patients with chronic symptoms affecting the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity it is possible to suspect this rare disease. Key words: Oral facial infection, mycotic infection, Drechslera hawaiiensis.
