Aplasia of condyle is very rare, when this condition not seen as a part of a syndrome. We report a case of condylar aplasia on the right side and hypoplasia on the left side in a 21-year-old female. The patient reported to the department with a chief complaint of underdeveloped lower jaw. Clinical examination, conventional radiographs, and 3D CBCT images revealed complete absence of condyle on the right side and hypoplasia on the left side.

<p>Aplasia of mandibular condyle is one of the several facial manifestations of many syndromes. It is considered as an extremely exceptional stipulation, if it is not seen as a part of any syndrome. The incidence expected 1 in 5600. It occurs due to the growth instability in development of condyle in the intrauterine life, late in the first trimester. It is not discernible at birth and seems to be steadily acquired during the growth. We report a case of condylar aplasia on the right side in an 18-year-old female. The patient reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at ACPM dental College, Dhule, with a chief complaint of underdeveloped lower jaw. The etiology of this condition was unknown, clinical examination and conventional radiographs revealed complete absence of condyle on the right side. A proper diagnosis along with the differentiation from the syndromic cases is of importance. The aim of this article is to present a case with peculiar type of non-syndromic condylar aplasia. <strong></strong></p>

Palatoradicular groove is an anomaly which is found more frequently in upper lateral and central incisors. This condition may lead to endo-perio lesions. A 19- year- old female presented with chief complaint of swelling and pus discharge from the gums of the right side of the upper front teeth and she also complained of loose tooth and intermittent pain. On clinical examination, probing pocket depth of 10 mm, grade II mobility and extrusion of the tooth was found. A combined endo-perio treatment was performed and elimination of the groove, pain and reduction in probing pocket depth and mobility was achieved. The purpose of this case is to highlight an interdisciplinary approach towards the management of an anomaly which may affect the endodontic status of the tooth and periodontal health of the patient.

we report a case of 51 year old lady, presented with complaints of hard lump in the right breast.On clinical examination lump of size 4x3cms in outer lower quadrant was noted. Ultrasonographic imaging showed evidence of 3x2cms ill dened hypoechoic lesion with spiculated margins and microcalcications. Trucut biopsy was done and histopathological report was given as Suspicious for malignancy which was followed by modied radical mastectomy with axillary clearance. Histopathological examination and Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was done.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to report unusual, rarest and interesting case of a patient with nodular hyperplasia of Bartholin's gland with dysplastic changes. The case of a 30-year old female with right-sided Bartholin’s gland hyperplasia with dysplastic changes, which was confirmed histopathologically, is presented in this paper. The patient reported increased swelling of the right major labium when she became sexually aroused with intermittent dyspareunia during intercourse. Surgical excision of the swelling was done under general anaesthesia. Healing of the surgical scar was complete and she reported no any discomfort or dyspareunia during sexual intercourse. Bartholin’s gland swellings with firm consistency require complete excision due to possibility of being neoplastic rather than just inflammation, cyst or obstructed gland particularly in postmenopausal women. Diagnosis of nodular hyperplasia of Bartholin’s gland with areas of dysplastic changes in the present case is of great interest and requires further investigation.

The posteromedial cortex (PMC) is known to be a core node of the default mode network. Given its anatomical location and blood supply pattern, the effects of targeted disruption of this part of the brain are largely unknown. Here, we report a rare case of a patient (S19_137) with confirmed seizures originating within the PMC. Intracranial recordings confirmed the onset of seizures in the right dorsal posterior cingulate cortex, adjacent to the marginal sulcus, likely corresponding to Brodmann area 31. Upon the onset of seizures, the patient reported a reproducible sense of self-dissociation—a condition he described as a distorted awareness of the position of his body in space and feeling as if he had temporarily become an outside observer to his own thoughts, his “me” having become a separate entity that was listening to different parts of his brain speak to each other. Importantly, 50-Hz electrical stimulation of the seizure zone and a homotopical region within the contralateral PMC induced a subjectively similar state, reproducibly. We supplement our clinical findings with the definition of the patient’s network anatomy at sites of interest using cortico-cortical–evoked potentials, experimental and resting-state electrophysiological connectivity, and individual-level functional imaging. This rare case of patient S19_137 highlights the potential causal importance of the PMC for integrating self-referential information and provides clues for future mechanistic studies of self-dissociation in neuropsychiatric populations.

Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) accounts for the majority of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. We report a 60-year-old womanwith PCFCL. She had a red nodule (25 × 25 mm) on the right side of the lower jaw. She was diagnosed with PCFCL by skin biopsy. And then, she was treated with radiation therapy (total 30.6 Gy), which completely eliminated the nodule. Our case suggests that radiation therapy may be a first choice for PCFCL patients with a solitary lesion or localized lesions.    


We report a very rare case of squamous cell cancer of the right foot which had metastasize to the ipsilateral popliteal lymph node after initial diagnosis and treatment for the loco-regional disease.

Aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart disease that can increase pulmonary vascular resistance, exacerbate left-to-right shunt and lead to heart failure and respiratory tract infections. Most patients die during childhood. We report a 53-year-old male patient with a large aortopulmonary window combined with anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the aorta, with Eisenmenger syndrome and without surgery.

A 33 years’ old male complained of excessive salivation with frequent swallowing and spitting, which resulted in communication disturbance, reduced quality of life, and social embarrassment for 19 years. He had been diagnosed as sialorrhea and submandibular gland hyperfunction by stomatologist, then had unilateral submandibular gland resection 13 years ago, but the symptom relief was not satisfactory. After that, he had been treated with glycopyrrolate for less than a year, which was withdrawn because of the short duration of symptomatic control after each tablet take-in and intolerable side effects. With the wish to receive a new treatment with long term effectiveness, low re-operation risk and normal preserved saliva secretion function, the patient was subject to MWA for the right submandibular gland. After systematic clinical evaluation, US-guided percutaneous MWA was successfully performed with an uneventful post-operative course. The volume of the right submandibular gland and ablated area were measured precisely by an ablation planning software system with automatic volume measurement function based on three-dimensional reconstruction of the pre-operative and post-operative enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) raw data. Finally, the ablated volume was calculated as 62.2% of the whole right submandibular gland. The patient was discharged 1 day after the operation, with symptoms relieved significantly, the mean value of whole saliva flow rate (SFR) decreased from 11 ml to 7.5 ml per 15 minutes. During the follow up by phone three months after operation, the patient reported that the treatment effect was satisfactory, whereas the SFR value became stable as 7 ml per 15 minutes, drooling frequency and drooling severity (DFDS) score decreased from 6 to 5, drooling impact scale (DIS) score decreased from 43 to 26. US-guided percutaneous MWA of submandibular gland seems to be an alternative, minimal invasive, and effective treatment for refractory sialorrhea. We described a patient with refractory sialorrhea treated successfully with ultrasound (US) guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA).
