AbstractWe report the case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with a several-year history of palpitation (exacerbated by emotional stress and physical activity) and recent development of atypical chest pain. An investigation was undertaken to diagnose the patient’s problem and to recommend the best possible therapy. Transthoracic echocardiography and a computerized axial tomography scan showed evidence of complete absence of the pericardium, which is a rare congenital heart defect.

AbstractOsteomas are common benign tumours of the paranasal sinuses, but are usually asymptomatic and found as a coincidental finding during routine radiological investigations. We present a case report of a patient with an isolated osteoma of the middle turbinate presenting with unilateral nasal obstruction which required removal via a lateral rhinotomy approach. The aetiology, pathology and presenting features of these tumours are reviewed and their subsequent management discussed. In particular, adequate pre-operative radiological assessment to determine involvement of the cribriform plate region by computerized axial tomography (CAT Scanning) is emphasized since this may indicate the need for a cranio-facial surgical approach rather than a lateral rhinotomy to achieve complete removal.

AbstractThe relative rarity of pharyngeal lipomas and paucity of clinical manifestations in the early stages of tumour growth conspire to task the diagnostic acumen of the clinician. A high index of suspicion and meticulous examination are essential in order to arrive at the diagnosis, which may be achieved pre-operatively by computerized axial tomography, revealing a mass lesion with a characteristic low attenuation value. A case of pharyngeal chondrolipoma in a 25-year-old male is reported. It is suggested that this conceptually intriguing and rarely encountered lesion can be explained on the basis of neoplastic transformation of the second to fourth pharyngeal cleft mesenchymal rests displaying both adipose and cartilaginous differentiation. Alternatively, the cartilage could represent vestigial remnants of non-neoplastic pharyngeal cleft tissue entrapped within a primarily lipomatous neoplasm. Slow growth may occur over a period of several years, prior to overt clinical manifestation.
