Introduction. Enchondroma protuberans is an extremely rare benign cartilaginous bone tumor. We report the first case report of enchondroma protuberans in the forearm.Presentation of Case. We report a case of enchondroma protuberans originating in the left ulnar bone of a young woman. A 20-year-old female referred to our hospital complaining of progressive sustained left forearm pain with a radiation to fourth and fifth finger. Conventional radiography revealed a well-defined eccentric osteolytic lesion in the distal diaphysis of ulna with expansion of overlying cortex (without calcification). Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined ovoid intramedullary lesion, which was exophytically protruding from medial surface of left ulnar bone. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.Discussion. Enchondroma protuberans typically present as a well-defined intramedullary osteolytic lesion that may be accompanied by a fine matricidal calcification. The connection between the intramedullary portion and the exophytic protrusion can be seen well by magnetic resonance imaging.Conclusion. Enchondroma protuberans should be considered in the differential diagnosis of osteochondroma, enchondroma, and periosteal chondroid tumors.

Acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM) usually occurs after viral infections or vaccination. Its occurrence after <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> infection is extremely uncommon. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl who had choreo-athetoid movements and ataxia after recovery from <em>P.vivax</em> infection. Diagnosis of ADEM was made on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging findings. The child responded to corticosteroids with complete neurological recovery.

AbstractObjective:To report a case of spinal intramedullary blastomycosis causing myelopathy. This is the first published case of a pediatric patient with intramedullary blastomycosis and compromised function.Clinical presentation:An otherwise healthy 13-year-old patient was diagnosed with respiratory North American blastomycosis. She subsequently received a five-month course of itraconazole with presumed resolution of the infection. The patient presented again at 14 years of age with a lumbar myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intramedullary lesion of 1 cm diameter at the level of T12-L1.Intervention:AT12-L1 laminectomy was performed with a gross total resection of the lesion. Pathological examination and microbiological culture of the specimen was consistent with blastomycosis. Postoperatively, the patient was placed on a five week course of amphotericin B. The patient showed substantial improvement in neurological function.Conclusion:Blastomycosis can present as an isolated intramedullary lesion causing compromised function. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient with a myelopathy and previously recognized blastomycosis. The prognosis is good with surgical resection.

Background. Congenital absence of the submandibular gland (SMG) is a rare condition. Although complaints such as dry mouth, dental problems, or difficulty in swallowing may be seen, the subjects may also be asymptomatic. The absence of the SMG may be associated with hypertrophy of the contralateral SMG.Case Report. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with incidentally detected left SMG aplasia, with contralateral SMG hypertrophy mimicking a mass, and the case of a 46-year-old woman with incidentally detected bilateral SMG aplasia, demonstrated by computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Conclusion. It is important for the clinician to know that this very rare abnormality may exist. When such a case is encountered, symptoms and findings should be reevaluated and, if necessary, conservative therapy should be initiated. The possibility of observing additional deformities should be kept in mind and an evaluation should be done for other cases in the family.

The global incidence of invasive meningococcal disease due to serogroup W (MenW) has risen over the last decade. The following case emphasises the atypical features of MenW meningococcaemia, which included myocarditis, a rare but important complication. It also highlights the potential novel role that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can provide in the diagnosis of MenW myocarditis. Complications of these infections can be avoided with early recognition and susceptibility testing to prevent the use of inappropriate antibiotics and treatment failure.
