Adenofibroma is an extremely rare benign biphasic neoplasm that is classified into the mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor group. These tumors tend to occur in postmenopausal and elderly women. We report the case of a large polypoidal mass per vagina occupying the whole pelvis in a young woman. Preoperative biopsy showed benign epithelial and mullerian mesenchymal components suggestive of mullerian adenofibroma. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy was done. The diagnosis of papillary adenofibroma of cervix was made. The total surgery assured complete excision and permitted adequate sampling to exclude malignancy.

Surgical Drain

Obturator hernias are quite rare in the world of hernias, and one that contains an acutely inflamed appendix becomes a very rare case indeed. An obturator hernia containing the appendix has been reported only 5 times in the surgical literature. Three of those cases were in elderly women with delayed presentations and were fatal. The most recent case was in a young woman with prompt laparoscopic appendectomy and no complications. We present a case in a 25-year-old man presenting with acute appendicitis and found to be incarcerated within the obturator canal during laparoscopy. The patient was treated with a 4-day course of postoperative antibiotics and a surgical drain that was later removed who had a full recovery. We conclude that the appropriate workup includes CT imaging and treatment with laparoscopic surgery for removal of the appendix.

Upbeat Nystagmus

Abstract Introduction CNS cavernomas are a type of raspberry-shaped vascular malformations that are typically asymptomatic, but can result in haemorrhage, neurological injury, and seizures. Here, we present a rare case of a brainstem cavernoma that was surgically resected whereafter an upbeat nystagmus presented postoperatively. Case report A 42-year old man presented with sudden-onset nausea, vomiting, vertigo, blurred vision, marked imbalance and difficulty swallowing. Neurological evaluation showed bilateral ataxia, generalized hyperreflexia with left-sided predominance, predominantly horizontal gaze evoked nystagmus on right and left gaze, slight left labial asymmetry, uvula deviation to the right, and tongue deviation to the left. MRI demonstrated a 13-mm cavernoma with haemorrhage and oedema in the medulla oblongata. Surgery was performed via a minimal-invasive, midline approach. Complete excision was confirmed on postoperative MRI. The patient recovered well and became almost neurologically intact. However, he complained of mainly vertical oscillopsia. The videonystagmography revealed a new-onset spontaneous upbeat nystagmus in all gaze directions, not suppressed by fixation. An injury of the rarely described intercalatus nucleus/nucleus of Roller is thought to be the cause. Conclusion Upbeat nystagmus can be related to several lesions of the brainstem, including the medial longitudinal fasciculus, the pons, and the dorsal medulla. To our knowledge, this is the first case of an iatrogenic lesion of the nucleus intercalatus/nucleus of Roller resulting in an upbeat vertical nystagmus. For neurologists, it is important to be aware of the function of this nucleus for assessment of clinical manifestations due to lesions within this region.

Mullerian anomalies occur in 1:1000-3000 females. Uterus didelphys and obstructed hemangioma with a septum contribute to 10% anomalies. Young girls present with severe dysmenorrhea, hematometra, hematocolpos and recurrent pregnancy loss. A 16-year-old teenager presented like a torsion of complex ovarian tumour is presented here. Intra operative findings was uterus didelphys with well-developed 2 horns, tubes and ovaries. On left ovary, a hemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst of size 5.2*4cm was seen with 50ml of hemoperitoneum. Diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically. This case is reported for the unusual presentation of an anomalous uterus mimicking torsion ovarian tumour.

Rare Case Report

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

Herein we report a rare case of a giant myopericytoma presenting in a 16-year-old girl as a slowly progressive swelling involving the scalp in the occipital region. It was managed by complete excision. Histological examination of the lesion revealed  spindle-shaped cells forming characteristic rosettes around the blood vessels, and positive staining with smooth muscle actin.
