A 36-year-old woman presented to the radiology department with a history of gradual increase in the size of her left breast and greenish discolouration of the skin over it since 1.5 months. Physical examination revealed a soft non-tender mass involving the whole of the left breast. Radiological investigations further established the presence of multiple well-defined lobulated multiseptated and cystic fluid-containing lesions involving the entire left breast and extending to the axillary tail. Successful surgical excision was performed. The patient made a good recovery without any signs of recurrence.

Spontaneous gastric perforations are usually seen in patients with untreated peptic ulcer disease. Mucormycosis, an uncommon, opportunistic, life-threatening fungal infection, rarely causes gastric perforation in immunocompetent adults. Here, we present a case of young female who was admitted to hospital for acute pain abdomen and distension with 5 days history of fever. She was operated and was found to have multiple perforations in the stomach with transmural necrosis. Despite adequate surgical excision and intravenous amphotericin B, patient succumbed to sequelae of infection.

We describe a unique case of a 44-year-old gentleman who presented to our hand department with a history of a lump within his right palm that spanned several decades. Its gradual increase in size together with pain on palpation merited further investigation and subsequent surgical excision. Extensive tumour emanating from both ulnar and median nerves was resected, the histopathological diagnosis of which was plexiform neurofibroma. We believe this is the first description of an isolated plexiform neurofibroma of the hand with dual nerve origin.

Cystic lymphangioma also known as cystic hygroma, is a congenital malformation of lymphatic system. Most lymphangioma are present at birth and are diagnosed by the age of 2 years. They are usually located in the head and neck region and are rare in other location. We are reporting a case of cystic lymphangioma in breast and axillary region in a 23 years old female. Physical examination revealed a non-tender cystic mass in axilla and upper outer quadrant of left breast. Ultrasonography (USG) revealed a hypoechoic mass lesion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a multi-spectated cystic mass in left axilla closely involving the left breast parenchyma. Wide local excision was done and histopathological examination further confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. Although it is very rare, cystic lymphangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of mass in breast and axillary region.

Human cysticercosis is the infection caused by the larvae of pork tapeworm Taenia solium.Although it can affect any organ or tissue of the body, the most common sites are themuscles and subcutaneous tissue. In this report, we present the case of a 35 yrs old womanwho came with a history of a painless lump in the left breast. Clinically diagnosed as a caseof Fibroadenoma of the Lt. Breast' an excision biopsy was carried out. A histopathologicalstudy however revealed the presence of the typical cysticercus larva and a definitive diagnosisof 'Cysticercosis of Lt. Breast' was made. Diagnosis of cysticercosis in atypical sitesmay be difficult clinically and to a great extent depends on histologic demonstration of theparasite. Also, cysticercosis of the breast though rare, should be considered as a differentialdiagnosis for a mass in the breast.Key Words : Cysticercosis, Breast.

AbstractObjective:We present the first reported case of ultrasound-guided aspiration of a laryngopyocoele in a patient with acute airway obstruction.Case report:A 71-year-old woman was diagnosed with a right-sided laryngocoele. Six weeks later, the patient was admitted as an emergency with a three-day history of increasing dyspnoea and stridor. Neck examination revealed a large, right-sided, soft neck mass, centred at level III, measuring approximately 10 × 5 cm. Fibre-optic laryngoscopy revealed a large, smooth, inflamed, right supraglottic mass obscuring the laryngeal inlet. The patient was taken directly to the radiology department, where ultrasound imaging confirmed a laryngopyocoele. Under ultrasound guidance, a 21-G needle was directed into the cyst and 30 ml of pus was aspirated. The dysphonia and stridor resolved immediately. Six weeks later, the patient underwent definitive surgical excision of the laryngocoele.Conclusion:Laryngopyocoele is a rare diagnosis. It can present as an acute airway emergency. We present the first reported case managed by ultrasound-guided aspiration, which averted the need for endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy.

Dermoid cysts are benign cutaneous neoplasms that contain germ cells from the ectoderm and mesoderm. Approximately 70% are diagnosed during childhood before the age of 5. Although they can present throughout the body, the prevalence is 7% for those arising from the head and neck. These lesions present primarily as midline masses and are classified as sublingual, submental, or overlapping depending on their relationship with the muscles of the floor of mouth. A 10-year-old female presented with a 2-week history of right submental swelling. She denied pain, dysphagia, odynophagia, or respiratory distress. Physical examination showed nontender fullness of the submental region without erythema or induration and no palpable cervical lymphadenopathy. Ultrasound showed an oval-shaped cystic mass measuring 4.8 × 4.0 × 2.6 cm. After a course of clindamycin, a computed tomography was obtained which showed a right 4.5 × 4.0 × 2.6 cm fluid filled lesion, within the right lateral floor of mouth. Intraoral resection was performed and the mass was freed from the geniohyoid and mylohyoid. Histopathology was consistent with a dermoid cyst. Submental masses have a broad differential, but rarely are they dermoid cysts if they arise lateral to the midline. With appropriate diagnosis and total surgical excision, patients and their families can be reassured in similar cases.

AbstractReports of incidental pneumomediastinum in infants secondary to inflicted trauma are limited. A retrospective review of infants with pneumomediastinum and history of inflicted trauma was performed. A comprehensive literature review was performed. Three infants presented with pneumomediastinum associated with inflicted trauma. Mean age was 4.6 weeks. All patients underwent diagnostic studies, as well as a standardized evaluation for nonaccidental trauma. All patients with pneumomediastinum were resolved at follow-up. Review of the literature identified other cases with similar presentations with related oropharyngeal injuries. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in previously healthy infants may be associated with inflicted injuries. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of an oropharyngeal perforation related to this presentation.

Objective: The objective of this study was to outline a novel unique concept of secondary impingement of the muscles, myotendons, and tendons of the rotator cuff from hypertrophy as a result of strength training exercises. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, 58 patients were referred for an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by the orthopedic surgeon to the radiology department over a period of 1½ years. All patients gave a history of strength training exercises and presented with clinical features of rotator cuff impingement. Results: We identified features of hypertrophy of rotator cuff muscles, myotendons, and tendons in 12 of these 58 patients. This was the only abnormality on MRI. The hypertrophy of rotator cuff muscles and tendon bulk completely filling the subacromial space to the point of overfilling and resulting in secondary compressive features. Conclusion: Rotator cuff impingement is a common phenomenon that can occur with various inlet and outlet pathological conditions. However, rotator cuff impingement may also result from muscle and tendon hypertrophy from strength training regimens. Hypertrophy of the rotator cuff can result in overfilling of the subacromial space, leading to secondary impingement, which we have termed as “pseudo-impingement.”
