Objective. Multiple extramedullary plasmacytoma lesions involving subcutaneous tissue, breast, mediastinal tissue, spleen, and soft tissue of pelvic region along with multiple bones plasmacytomas without marrow plasmacytosis are a very rare presentation.Design. Case report.Result. A 54-year-old female was found to have multiple small bony lytic lesions, multiple extramedullary soft tissue plasmacytomas, serum M protein >3 g/dL, and elevated ESR. Bone marrow aspirate did not reveal any evidence of multiple myeloma/plasmacytosis. There was no anemia, hypercalcemia, or renal insufficiency.Conclusion. Extramedullary plasmacytoma can involve multiple organs at a time including bones and soft tissue without involving bone marrow.

Leiomyosarcomas are soft tissue tumours that rarely occur in the larynx. This case report describes the presentation and management of a 77-year-old man referred to the otolaryngology clinic with hoarseness who was found to have a large supraglottic leiomyosarcoma after panendoscopy and biopsies. He subsequently underwent laryngectomy for treatment of this tumour but, unexpectedly, the histological analysis of the laryngectomy specimen revealed a second primary tumour in the larynx—a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The patient had further treatment with neck radiotherapy. Three years after treatment, there are no signs of recurrence of either tumour. This case report discusses the very few similar cases of leiomyosarcoma coexisting with SCC in the larynx, collating the evidence surrounding the treatment of this rare presentation.

Introduction: Winging of scapula is defined as a failure of dynamic stabilizing structures that anchor the scapula to the chest wall, leading to prominence of the medial border of scapula. It could be primary, secondary, or voluntary. Primary winging could be true winging due to neuromuscular causes or pseudo-winging due to osseous or soft-tissue masses. A scapular osteochondroma is a very rare presentation site and causes pseudo-winging leading to pushing away of the scapula away from the chest wall presenting as medial border prominence. Here, we are reporting a rare case of a scapular osteochondroma causing a pseudo-winging of the scapula. Case Report: A 2-year-old male child presented with painless, immobile, and non-fluctuant swelling over the left scapular region, insidious in onset and progressive in nature. On examination, a non-tender, immobile swelling was palpable with a painless and unrestricted range of motion at the shoulder joint. After evaluating radiographs and CT scan, the patient was diagnosed to have a ventral scapular osteochondroma leading to pseudo-winging of the scapula. Conclusion: Despite the rarity, a differential diagnosis of a scapular osteochondroma should be kept in mind while examining a young child presenting with a winged scapula. Keywords: Scapula, osteochondroma, pseudo-winging.

Syphilitic balanitis of Follmann is a rare presentation of primary syphilis. It can occur before or after the appearance of primary chancre and some time without any associated primary chancre. We are reporting a case of syphilitic balanitis of Follmann, in a 23 years old heterosexual male, who presented with balanitis associated with single indurated lesion over coronal sulcus and few superficial ulcers over prepuce.

Mycosis fungoides is represented as the most common epidermotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which is mainly characterized by the proliferation of atypical cells within the epidermis. We report a rare presentation of mycosis fungoides in a 60-year-old male presenting with chronic psoriasiform plaque involving the face. Punch biopsy of the lesion from the forehead was taken for routine histological examination and immunohistochemical stains. Results of biopsy and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with mycosis fungoides and diagnosed as psoriasiform presentation of mycosis fungoides involving the face.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a soft tissue infection affecting subcutaneous tissue and the muscular fascia without involvement of the muscle and can be either monomicrobial or polymicrobial. Monomicrobial infections are usually caused by group A streptococci, while infections caused by anaerobic germs usually affect immunodepressed patients. We report a rare case of NF caused by two anaerobic bacteria in an immunocompetent patient.

Abstract Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare, aggressive malignant odontogenic tumor. AFS is seen most frequently in second and third decades of life. We are reporting a case of a low grade AFS in a 21-year-old male complaining of a painless swelling in the right side of the maxilla. The patient was treated with surgical excision followed by radiotherapy, which is considered the most effective approach for most of soft tissue sarcomas. AFS has a high-reported recurrence rate (up to 37%); therefore, long-term surveillance for recurrence is crucial.
