Adult penile lymphangioma (APL) is a rare multifactorial vascular malformation. Usually, it is asymptomatic and located on the coronal sulcus or shaft of the penis. It is benign in nature with rare chances of recurrence. APLs can be approached via various modalities from simple “watch and wait” to electrofulguration, laser ablation, and surgical excision. We report a rare variant of lymphangioma of the penis inculcating the shaft being excised surgically with favorable outcome along with brief review of literature.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare developmental abnormality of lung occuring in 1-4/100000 live births. The mainstay of treatment is usually surgical excision as it can lead to recurrent pneumonias, abscess or malignancy. We here report a rare case of CCAM who presented at one year of age with right sided lung cysts and had favorable outcome as it resolved spontaneously.

<p>Hidradenocarcinoma of the scalp is a rare skin adnexal tumour accounting for less than 0.001% of all tumors. In this study, we describe a rare presentation of the hidradenocarcinoma of the scalp in a 64 years old man. Patient presented with a right side scalp lesion in the occipital area, for which biopsy was done which showed hidradenocarcinoma. Patient underwent wide local excision of the posterior scalp lesion and posterolateral neck dissection and the patient was advised to receive adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but the patient refused to undergo adjuvant therapy. Six months postsurgery patient had local recurrence in the posterior margin resection area and lung metastasis, which could have been prevented by adjuvant therapy. Malignant hidradenocarcinoma is a rare aggressive malignant tumour. Patients with this tumour should undergo surgical excision followed by adjuvant therapy.</p>

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Koenen tumors are benign, cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis. These are disfiguring, painful, and challenging to treat as they frequently recur. We report a case of long-standing, multiple Koenen tumors affecting all twenty nails in an elderly female who was successfully treated with a combination of topical sirolimus 1%, surgical excision, and electrofulguration. <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> A 57-year-old lady presented with multiple, asymptomatic periungual, and subungual tumors affecting all twenty nails since 27 years. Cutaneous examination revealed confetti macules, ash-leaf macule, and shagreen patch over trunk. Nail biopsy was compatible with Koenen’s tumor. Computerized tomography of brain showed diffuse patchy sclerosis. The tumors were treated with topical sirolimus 1% ointment for 10 months with excellent regression. Electro­fulguration for both great toenails and surgical excision of right thumbnail periungual fibroma was done. 1% sirolimus was advised after the surgical treatment. There were no adverse effects or recurrence of tumors over a 2-year follow-up. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> Topical sirolimus 1% was effective in tumor regression and preventing new tumor formation. Larger tumors that interfered in daily chores were treated with excision and electrofulguration. Thus, a combination treatment for this rare presentation of tuberous sclerosis provided optimum results.

Abstract Background Head and neck is a relatively common site of occurrence for the peripheral nerve sheath tumors, and majority of these tumors are seen involving neck, involving vagus nerve, and cervical sympathetic chain. Schwannomas involving mobile tongue are rarely encountered, especially in the pediatric population Case presentation We present a case of recurrent tongue schwannoma in a 13-year-old female successfully managed with transoral excision. At a follow-up of 3 years, no recurrence is observed. Conclusion Surgical excision is the recommended modality of treatment for lingual schwannomas, and when excised adequately, recurrences are not expected. A clear margin of surrounding normal tissue should be aimed for to avoid possible recurrence.

The Limb Body Wall Complex (LBWC) aka. Body Stalk Syndrome is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by severe malformations of limb, thorax, and abdomen, characterized by the presence of thoracoschisis, abdominoschisis, limb defects, and exencephaly. This condition is extremely rare with an incidence of 1 per 14,000 and 1 per 31,000 pregnancies in large epidemiologic studies. Majority of these malformed fetuses end up with spontaneous abortions. We present this rare case with occurrence in a preterm infant of 35 weeks gestation. Our report highlights majority of the clinical presentations as reported in previous literature, but the significant pathological findings of absent genitalia and malformed genitourinary, anorectal malformations make this case presentation an even more rare occurrence. Infant karyotyping was normal male and there is no specific underlying genetic correlation in this condition which has fatal prognosis.

Hematuria is a critical symptom that should properly be investigated. One of the rare causes is renal papillary hypertrophy. Literature review revealed only few reported cases. Biopsy in reported cases has shown hyperplasia of renal papillae with normal histology. We report a case of bilateral renal papillary hypertrophy in a 32 years old female presented with intermittent gross hematuria. Computed tomgraphy urography, cystoscopy and selective cytology did not show any positive findings. Retrograde flexible uretero-renoscopy showed enlarged renal papillae protruding into upper and middle calyces of both kidneys with clots and active bleeding in some. Holmium:YAG Laser ablation of hypertrophic papillae showed an effective minimally invasive management of the condition.

Primary umbilical endometriosis is a rare condition with an overall incidence of around 0.5% to 1% among all the endometriosis cases, but at times it poses a diagnostic dilemma. In our institution we encountered a case of primary umbilical endometriosis presented to multiple surgical speciality departments. A prompt clinical examination with surgical biopsy was the key tool which lead to the diagnosis and providing a complete cure for the patient. Pelvic endometriosis affects 5-10% of women in the child bearing age group. The most pronounced symptoms are dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. Clinical presentations of umbilical endometriosis are as a nodule with or without associated umbilical pain and bleeding. This patient was given primary hormonal therapy and later underwent a biopsy which paved way for an accurate diagnosis of primary umbilical endometriosis. In this case of umbilical swelling, conditions like a benign nevus, lipoma, abscess, cyst, hernia, as well as metastatic deposit from a systemic malignancy were considered in the clinical differential diagnosis. However surgical excision helped us arrive at a definitive diagnosis and cure for the patient.
