Background. Oncocytomas are the second most common benign renal neoplasm but, unfortunately, they are difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma. Renal oncocytomas are rare and have mostly been reported in adults. To our knowledge, this is only the sixth pediatric reported case of renal oncocytoma worldwide. Case Presentation. A 14-year-old Yemeni girl with a recurrent history of urinary tract infections came to our clinic complaining of left flank pain with a frontal headache. Ultrasound showed a 3 cm, well-defined echogenic lesion with mild vascularity. This lesion increased in size on her subsequent follow-ups. Computed tomography showed no intralesional fat, vessels invasion, or enlarged lymph nodes. The patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and a pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma. Conclusion and Recommendations. We present the rare occurrence of renal oncocytoma in a pediatric patient and highlight the importance of considering oncocytomas in the diagnosis of a renal mass.

Abstract Background This report describes a rare surgical case of an intraabdominal mass in a middle-aged patient 40 years after imperforate anus repair. Case presentation A 44-year-old Latino male with history of repaired anorectal malformation presented with recurrent urinary tract infections and rectal prolapse with bothersome bleeding and fecal incontinence. During his preoperative evaluation, he was initially diagnosed with a prostatic utricle cyst on the basis of magnetic resonance imaging findings, which demonstrated a cystic, thick-walled mass with low signal contents that extended inferiorly to insert into the distal prostatic urethra. However, at the time of surgical resection, the thick-walled structure contained an old, firm fecaloma. The final pathology report described findings consistent with colonic tissue, suggesting a retained remnant of the original fistula and diverticulum. Conclusions Although rare, persistent rectourethral fistula tracts and rectal diverticula after imperforate anus repair can cause symptoms decades later, requiring surgical intervention. This is an important diagnostic consideration for any adult patient with history of imperforate anus.

Introduction. Rhabdomyomas of the head and neck are exceptionally rare benign mesenchymal tumors. Rare cases have been reported to involve other sites of the body including the head and neck regions.Case Presentation. We report a case of voluminous extracardiac adult rhabdomyoma affecting adult patients and initially seen as slowly growing, indolent neoplasms. The patient is a seventy-year old male Italian patient.Conclusion. Adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor that may present with symptoms that vary from aerodigestive tract obstruction to remaining asymptomatic for many years. Although histology is very characteristic, several differential diagnoses have to be considered. To our knowledge, this is the first case of voluminous adult-type symptomless rhabdomyoma.

Introduction: Haemoptysis is uncommon in toddler. Lower respiratory tract infections and foreign body are among the common causes. Case Presentation: We are reporting a case of a child presented to emergency department with complaint of mild haemoptysis, whom was later found to have a piece of broken satay skewer at the tonsillar region. The foreign body was removed during the procedure without any complication. Discussion: Foreign body ingestion, particularly a piece of broken satay skewer, is difficult to suspect without a proper history and eyewitness. Therefore, parent’s supervision is important. Emergency residents should have a high index of suspicion of foreign body ingestion in a child with vague symptoms. Conclusion: Foreign body is among the commonest cause of haemoptysis in an afebrile toddler. Acute haemoptysis in otherwise healthy toddler should alert the emergency residents about foreign body ingestion. History of food intake should be more thorough even if trivial.

Abstract Background This study aims to explore a case of exophytic nasal papilloma with acute dacryocystitis as the first symptom. Case presentation A 72-year-old male patient complaining of “a 10-year history of tearing and purulent discharge from the right eye, with subsequent redness and pain in the inner canthus for three days” was initially diagnosed with acute dacryocystitis of the right eye. The patient was treated with anti-inflammatory therapy. However, the redness and swelling of the inner canthus continued to increase. An endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy of the right eye was performed under general anesthesia. A large amount of purulent secretion was drained during the operation. As a result, the swelling of the inner canthus was significantly reduced. A routine intra-operative biopsy of the wall of the lacrimal sac revealed an exophytic nasal papilloma. A second biopsy, 1 week after the surgery, revealed the same result. The patient was advised to undergo a dacryocystectomy once the swelling had subsided. However, the patient was reluctant to undergo this surgery and remains under clinical observation. Conclusion It is rare for an exophytic nasal papilloma, which is a benign tumor in the lacrimal sac, which has the potential for recurrence and malignant transformation, to manifest with acute dacryocystitis as the first symptom. Therefore, this case report could provide a reference for the future clinical diagnosis of this disease.

Introduction: Human bocavirus (HBoV) belongs to the Parvoviridae family, which has been revealed to be associated with respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in children. There are many reports worldwide on respiratory infection or gastroenteritis caused by this virus. Case Presentation: In a twin case (a girl and a boy), we demonstrated that HBoV infection in combination with Streptococcus pneumonia as co-infection caused the death of a 14-month-old girl with a history of high fever and wheezing. A week later, her brother presented with almost the same symptoms, but only HBoV was found in a nasopharyngeal aspirate sample. Discussion: This case suggests that lower respiratory tract infections due to HBoV may cause severe and life-threatening diseases, resulting in death in combination with a bacterial infection, such as S. pneumonia. The study suggests replacing multiplex PCR as a fast and meticulous method instead of conventional and time-consuming microbiological methods for determining the causative organism for respiratory infections.

Abstract Backgroud: Lung fibroleiomyomatous hamartoma is an extremely rare benign tumor in lung, it belongs to hamartoma. There were only five patients with solitary pulmonary fibroleiomyomatous hamartoma reported in literatures and our case has the largest size of the tumor from lung.Case presentation: Our case is a 36-year woman with a huge mass in pleural cavity. She was once misdiagnosed mediastinal germ cell tumor with pleural effusion through percutaneous lung biopsy in other hospital. After traditional thoracotomy, a huge size of 22 x 18 x 5.5 cm mass was completely dissected and a diagnosis of pulmonary fibroleiomyomatous hamartoma was given by pathology combined with immunohistochemical staining, which showed the positive staining of SMA, Desmin, CD34, BCL2, TTF1, Napsin A, and CK7, and the negative staining of S-100 and Calretinin. The patient recovered well with 40 months following up without recurrence.Conclusions:In our case, we had reported the largest size of lung fibroleiomyomatous hamartoma. The treatment of fibroleiomyomatous hamartoma is completely resected it and have a good prognosis.

Giant mesenteric lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the adipocytes. It can mimic malignant tumors, and its diagnosis is difficult before surgery. Imaging studies could lead the diagnosis but not confirm it. Those tumors arising in the abdomen are usually larger and can cause symptoms of compression. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, and a long-term follow-up is necessary to detect local recurrences. Only a few cases of lipoblastomas arising from the mesentery are reported in literature. We present a case of a rare giant lipoblastoma arising from the mesentery of a 6-year-old girl, with a history of postprandial abdominal pain.

Background: Lipoma is a rare benign tumor that overgrows in oral cavity. Its occurrence rate is about 1-4% with predilection for males rather than females. Lipoma is associated with adipose tissue and is usually seen in major salivary glands, buccal mucosa, and vestibule. Fifty percent of lesions are seen in buccal mucosa. The progressive and aggressive growth of these lesions may interfere with speech and mastication owing to the dimensions and location of the tumor. The lesion basically affects the individuals of 4th to 5th decades. Lipoma is managed by surgical excision using scalpel, laser, or electro-cautery. Case Presentation: This study presents two 63 and 18 years old male patients with lipoma in their buccal mucosa along with their improved situation following the treatment. The treatment included surgical excision of the lesion and suturing the surgical area. Conclusions: The incidence of intraoral lipoma is low and buccal mucosa is the most common region for the occurrence of oral lipoma. Most clinicians suggested surgical techniques as a certain treatment.

Introduction: Aerococcus Sanguinicola is a rare pathogen associated with urinary tract infections (UTI). Widespread use of MALDI-TOF can better differentiate Aerococcus species and has led to the identification of A. Sanguinicola as a source of endocarditis. Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus and recent cystitis presented to the hospital with confusion, back pain, fever, chills and myalgias. The patient was tachycardic and hypotensive on exam. Leukocyte count was at 16 k/ul with elevated inflammatory markers. Blood cultures were obtained and empiric vancomycin and cefepime were initiated. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed mild mitral regurgitation. On hospital day 3, gram stain demonstrated gram positive cocci in clusters, and physical exam revealed a new 3/6 holosystolic murmur in the left 6th intercoastal space. Transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated acute severe mitral regurgitation and multiple large vegetations with abscess on the anterior leaflet (Figure). Gentamycin was added to treat presumed Staphylococcus Aureus endocarditis. Subsequent species identification revealed A. Sanguinicola as the blood-based pathogen. He underwent bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement due to acute heart failure. Anatomic pathology of the valve confirmed A. Sanguinicola infection. He completed a 6-week course of antibiotics. On his follow up visit at 3 months, the patient had recovered. Conclusion: This case demonstrates a severe case of A. Sanguinicola endocarditis requiring urgent valve replacement. A. Sanguinicola is known to generate biofilms, which are activated by plasma which contrasts with S. Aureus, for which A. Sanguinicola can be mistaken. Additionally, known case of A. Sanguinicola infection demonstrate B-lactams sensitivity. While the organism has the potential to form abscesses, we present the first reported case of valvular abscess that was successfully cured with antibiotics and surgery.
