Madelung’s disease is a rare disorder characterised by excessive and symmetrical deposits of adipose tissue, typically in the cervicofacial region. Alcohol is a known cause of the condition, however, there are reports that this condition is genetically inherited. Lipomatosis of the orbit has been described in the alcoholic Madelung’s disease, however, in our case report, we believe this is the first reported instance of proptosis caused by the genetic form of the condition. We present a 69-year-old woman, with a medical history of genetic Madelung’s disease, who presented with bilateral proptosis worse in her right eye. Her ocular examination was normal apart from exophthalmometry, showing bilateral proptosis. This was confirmed by an MRI, which further showed intraorbital fat deposition bilaterally. Due to the stability of her condition, no treatment was deemed necessary. We highlight the importance of monitoring for progressive optic nerve compromise and liposarcomatous malignant transformation.

Introduction: Meningiomas are the third most common intracranial tumors in adults after glial tumors and metastases. Olfactory groove meningiomas often grow without symptoms due to their slow growth rates and location in the frontal lobe. Optic nerve sheath meningiomas are benign neoplasms of the meninges surrounding the optic nerve. The coexistence of olfactory groove and optic nerve sheath meningiomas without any history of neurofibromatosis or radiotherapy has never been reported in the literature. Case Report: A 36-year-old female patient presenting with anosmia, headache, memory disturbance, and visual impairment and operated with the diagnosis of olfactory groove meningioma was reported. In the postoperative period, optic nerve sheath meningioma was detected in the imaging performed due to the persistence of visual impairment. Conclusion: Olfactory groove and optic nerve sheath meningiomas are rare tumors and can be diagnosed late because they progress slowly. Early diagnosis and treatment may affect the prognosis and morbidity of these patients favorably.

Currently, there are only 2 case reports of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) associated with severe neutropenia. This is a case report of a woman with a past medical history of WM who presented with neutropenic fever. The patient’s febrile neutropenia resolved after RCD chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, dexamethasone 20 mg, and rituximab 375 mg/m2). Fourteen days after administration, the neutrophil level had started to rise and normalized after 6 days. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 3rd reported case of agranulocytosis due to WM.

Epididymal leiomyosarcoma is very uncommon. Only 16 cases have been reported in the literature. There has never been a reported case of a patient with an African origin with this tumor. We report the medical history of a 70-year-old man who presented an enormous mass located in his epididymis. A tricut biopsy was performed which allowed histological confirmation of epididymal leiomyosarcoma after which the patient underwent excision of the mass. The patient died after the first round of chemotherapy.

Objective: The aim of this study is to describe and analyse nicotine stomatitis in smokers. Of the world population that consumes tobacco, Asia and Australia make up 57% of tobacco consumers. Tobacco can be consumed by various ways such as smoked tobacco, commonly known as cigarettes, or smokeless tobacco. Cigarettes are known to cause nicotine stomatitis in the oral cavity.Methods: A 28-year-old man patient came with complaints of white spots on his hard palate. The patient has a medical history of asthma as a child and has been taking salbutamol. The patient has been smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day since being 16 years old.Results: Nicotine stomatitis that occurs on the hard palate appears as circular reddish shapes on the orifice of minor salivary glands. These lesions are formed from physically irritation caused by smoking. The lesions were benign and reversible.Conclusion: Thought appropriate examination and treatment, these lesions were healed.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is widely performed in combination with assisted reproductive technology, and the contrast medium used in this procedure may be retained in the pelvic cavity. In patients showing suspected operative-residue lesions after caesarean section, a medical history of HSG and details regarding abnormal findings can facilitate differential diagnosis.
