Introduction. Leiomyoma uteri is one of the most common benign conditions for which women undergo hysterectomy every year. Fibroids found retroperitoneally are a rare entity, especially, primary retroperitoneal fibroid.Case Presentation. We report a case of 42-year-old para 1 who presented to our hospital with recurring retention of urine, lower abdominal and pelvic pain, and dyspareunia . Provisional diagnosis on the basis of examination and imaging was large subserosal fibroid with mild right-sided hydroureteronephrosis, due to pressure effect of the fibroid. Abdominal hysterectomy was done for the patient, and intraoperatively, a bulky uterus was found with multiple small fibroids on anterior and posterior walls, and a large fibroid approx.10×8 cm was found arising from the posterior surface at the level of internal os retroperitoneally, which was confirmed by histopathology as leiomyoma.Conclusion. Retroperitoneal fibroids are rare neoplasms and treatment is surgical removal. Preoperative imaging can only give provisional diagnosis and can be misguiding. Final diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibroid can be made only intraoperatively.

Abstract Background: Odontogenic tumors arising from extra-alveolar sites are extremerly rare. Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is an uncommon odontogenic neoplasm characterized by CTNNB1 mutation, ghost cell appearance, and dentinoid-like calcification. We present a case of an ectopic DGCT arising from a calcifying odontogenic cyst in the floor of the mouth. Case presentation: A 72-year-old man presented with a painless sublingual swelling. Imaging revealed a multi-lobulated, solid-cyst mass on the floor of the mouth. Cytology showed folded epithelial clusters composed of basaloid cells, keratinized material, and dentinoid matrix. Histology also revealed a multi-cystic, cribriform to solid nest. Immunohistochemically, CK19, CK5/6, bcl-2, and p63 were diffuse positive. CTNTTB1 mutation was detected, leading to the final diagnosis of an ectopic DGCT. There was no recurrence during a 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: This is the first report to comprehensively describe the clinicopathological features of an ectopic DGCT of odontogenic origin, developing similarly to that of a true odontogenic DGCT. Accurate diagnosis of this rare entity is necessary to avoid overtreatment.

Retroperitoneal Lymphangioma

Background. Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is a rare, benign mesodermal tumor arising from the retroperitoneal lymphatics which usually presents in infancy and it is worthy to report a case when it has presented in an adult. After a thorough literature search in English we concluded that less than 200 cases of adult retroperitoneal lymphangioma have been reported so far. Apart from being a rare entity it also presents as a diagnostic dilemma and final diagnosis is often made on surgical exploration.Case Presentation. We report a case of retroperitoneal lymphangioma in a 55-year-old male who presented with abdominal distension and dull aching abdominal pain.Conclusion. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas are rare tumors of infancy but may also present in adults where they are a diagnostic challenge. Differentiating cystic lymphangiomas from other cystic growths by imaging studies alone are often inconclusive and surgery is frequently required for definitive diagnosis and to ameliorate the symptoms.

Preface: angiomatous nasal type polyps (SAP ‒ sinonasal angiomatous polyp) are benign lesions. The clinical and radiological picture of SAP may suggest other diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Diagnostic imaging is based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance. SAP treatment involves their surgical removal. A case report: he aim of the study is to present diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in a 17-year-old female patient with an inflammatory polyposis of the angiomatous of the paranasal sinuses. The course of disease, diagnostic difficulties and its treatment are presented. No complications were observed during hospitalization and in the postoperative period. Summary: SAP is one of the types of nasal polyps characterized in the histological picture of vascular proliferation with the presence of blood clots. Accurate diagnostic and histological diagnostics allow to determine the final diagnosis and differentiation of SAP with nasal and sinus hyperplasia.

Adenosarcoma is a rare tumor which consists of benign glandular epithelium and malignant mesenchymal component. Here we report a case of adenosarcoma of the uterine corpus.Case Presentation. A 59-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and visited a local clinic. She had a uterine tumor pointed out and was referred to our hospital. Ultrasound scans revealed a large heterogeneous mass occupying the whole uterine cavity. Cytological test of endometrium was performed but the result was negative. A fractional endometrial curettage revealed no malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a heterogeneous solid tumor of 77 × 76 mm. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed. On gross examination, the tumor was arising from the uterine body and occupied the whole uterine cavity. Histopathological examination revealed phyllodes-like architecture on low magnification　and　periglandular cuffing of tumor cells. The lesion was confined to the uterus. Histopathological final diagnosis was adenosarcoma. Her postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged without postoperative treatment and remains alive without disease 6 months after the surgery.

Abstract Background Association of the ureterocele and proximal ureteral valve is a rare congenital anomaly which can lead to quick detoriation of renal function due to double obstruction. Though ureteral valves have been associated with other ureteral anomalies, this specific association is extremely rare. Case presentation A 7-month-old boy was referred to us for antenatally detected hydronephrosis. Provisional diagnosis of orthotopic ureterocele with pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction was made based on preoperative imaging. Endoscopic incision of ureterocele was done and retrograde pyelography showed tight obstruction at PUJ which necessitated a pyeloplasty. Examination of resected specimen confirmed a ureteral valve. Postoperatively, the patient had good improvement in kidney function. Conclusion To conclude, congenital ureteral valves are a rare cause of ureteric obstruction and its association with ureterocele is rarer still. Identification of an ureterocele should not deter us from searching for an associated pathology like a ureteric valve when imaging shows more severe hydronephrosis suggestive of more proximal obstruction.

Abstract Background: Teratomas are common neoplasms but are extremely rarely found in the parotid gland region, most benign teratomas are cystic, also known as mature cystic teratomas, and only 9 cases have been reported in the literature.Case presentation: Herein, we reported a single case of a patient with giant cystic teratoma in the left parotid gland deep lobe extended into the parapharyngeal space. The tumor was diagnosed based on complete preoperative imaging CT and MRI data and then postoperatively confirmed by pathology.Conclusion: Preoperative CT and MRI scanning are useful in determining the nature of teratomas and perform differential diagnosis of teratoma in the parotid gland by showing calcification, fatty elements, and a fat-liquid level in the parotid gland cyst. Yet, surgery and pathology can provide a final diagnosis.

Rare Tumours

Most of the leiomyomas are situated in the body of uterus. Fibroids arising from cervix are rare tumours accounting for 2% of all broids. Cervical leiomyomata are mostly single and are subserous or interstitial in origin. Generally these tumors present with retention of urine, constipation, sensation of something coming out of vagina and rarely at times present with abdominal mass which may mimic ovarian cancer. We report a case of 55 yr. married patient with complaints of something coming out of vagina and postmenopausal bleeding of short duration. Provisional diagnosis was a huge cervical broid protruding through the introitus on examination. Vaginal hysterectomy was done for patient along with removal of cervical broid which was conrmed on histopathology as leiomyoma. Conclusion: Huge cervical broids are rare entity and treatment is surgical removal.

Coronary sinus aneurysm (CSA) is an extremely rare entity. Herein, we present an unusual case of an 18-year-old symptomatic female patient with a giant CSA. Secondary vena cava aneurysms were also manifested. The final diagnosis was confirmed by enhanced computed tomography (CT) and cardiac catheterization. As far as we know, it is the first case that such a giant CSA coexists with secondary vena cava aneurysms. Considering the complexity of postoperative reconstruction, we believe that heart transplantation may be the optimal way for treatment. The patient received anticoagulant due to the superior vena cava (SVC) thrombosis while waiting for a donor.

Abstract Background Primary Seminal Vesicle (SV) tumours are a rare entity, with most SV masses representing invasion of the SV by malignancy originating in an adjacent organ, most often the prostate. Previously reported primary SV epithelial tumours have included adenocarcinoma and cystadenoma, with limited prior reports of inracystic papillary structures. Case presentation A 35-year-old male presented with azoospermia, intermittent macroscopic haematuria, and mild right iliac fossa and groin pain. A papillary appearing seminal vesicle mass was found on imaging and seminal vesicoscopy. The mass was robotically excised with diagnosis of benign cystic papillary adenoma made. Conclusion In this manuscript we describe a rare case of a benign cystic papillary adenoma of the seminal vesicle, a unique histological entity differentiated from cystadenoma of the Seminal Vesicle by its papillary component.

Abstract Background Scrotoschisis is a rare anomaly in which the testis is lying outside scrotum congenitally. Only few cases have been reported in literature under different names most of which are unilateral. We have found only one case of bilateral scrotoschisis in literature. Case presentation Newborn presented to us after normal term twin delivery as a case of bilateral scrotoschisis in which both testes were lying outside the scrotum congenitally. Baby underwent uneventful bilateral orchiopexy and was discharged home the next day. Conclusion Scrotoschisis is a very rare genital anomaly with only a few cases reported in literature. This report would add to the literature which would help in studying the exact mechanism and embryopathogenesis of this anomaly which is not known yet.
