The thorax is the rarest place among all forms of renal ectopia. We report a rare case of an unacquired thoracic kidney. Only about 200 cases of the thoracic kidney have ever been reported in medical literature worldwide. In this paper we present the rarest form of nontraumatic nonhernia associated, truly ectopic thoracic kidney. The differential diagnosis and management options and classification of this rare form of aberrant kidney are discussed.

AbstractPrimary osteosarcoma arising in breast is a rare form of extra skeletal osteosarcoma, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancers and 12.5% of sarcomas arising in breast. Fewer than 150 cases of primary osteosarcoma of breast have been reported in the medical literature in the last 50 years. It was reported to have worse outcome compared to typical skeletal osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma of breast presents in elderly age group unlike skeletal osteosarcoma, which occurs in young people. Diagnosis is by histopathological examination of malignant osteoid and ruling out underlying skeletal involvement.

AbstractA case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the thyroid gland is presented. This rare form of cancer behaves in an aggressive manner similar to anaplastic carcinoma and is characterized histologically by the intimate blending of the squamous and glandular elements. The prognostic significance of identifying areas of malignant squamous epithelium within papillary carcinoma as opposed to the much more common benign squamous metaplasia, is highlighted. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and management of the condition are discussed.
