This report documents a rare case of an extracranial meningioma on the posterior scalp without apparent dural connection. Additionally, a sebaceous steatocystoma of the anterior scalp presented alongside the meningioma. A steatocystoma localized to the scalp is also remarkably rare. To our knowledge, this is the first report documenting both an extracranial meningioma and a steatocystoma presenting concurrently on the scalp. A male patient in his thirties presented with a mass lesion on the scalp. A CT scan revealed one posterior scalp mass with no intracranial abnormalities. Post excision histologic examination confirmed an extracranial meningioma (meningothelial variant, WHO Grade I). A second anterior scalp mass, not revealed by CT scan, was discovered during surgery. It was excised and diagnosed as a steatocystoma. Meningiomas predominantly occur intracranially but, in some instances, may present as a standalone extracranial tumor without intracranial abnormalities. Because extracranial meningioma is uncommon, it may be overlooked during clinical diagnosis of scalp masses. We recommend that this neoplasm be routinely considered in the differential diagnosis of extracranial tumors. The discovery of another rare tumor—a steatocystoma located in immediate proximity on the scalp—is further remarkable. We briefly review relevant case reports and etiologies and consider a potential relationship between the two neoplasms. However, it remains more likely that the concurrence of these tumors in our patient was simply coincidental.

Abstract Tailgut cyst is a rare tumor originating from the embryonic remnant located in the retrorectal space. The diagnosis is usually incidental duse to the absence of symptoms. When present, they are nonspecific, such as abdominal pain, dysuria and tenesmus. Imaging tests are a great help in the diagnosis and surgical planning. The standard treatment is resection, which the surgeon must perform to avoid future complications, such as malignancy. We present a case of tailgut cyst in a young patient with prior pilonidal cyst excision, subsequently submitted to surgical resection, to share our experience with a rare case, with few reports in the literature.

<p>Esthesioneuroblastoma forms a part of the spectrum of rare malignancies of the olfactory neuroepitheliem. The rarity of the tumour precludes systematic approach to clinical diagnosis and management. This study involves a case of 68 years old female who presents with chief complaints of hemoptysis for 3 months in the medical outpatient department with no nasal signs and symptoms. After referral to chest physician she is referred for ear nose and throat opinion. Esthesioneuroblastoma presentation is very varied and the case reports published have been very few. In view of the rarity of the tumour, clinical suspicion is essential in unusual presentation of hemoptysis.</p>

Solitary mastocytoma of the skin is a rare tumor. Its occurrence in the vulva is extremely rare with only few case reports in the literature. We report a solitary mastocytoma of the vulva in a 10-year-old girl. Her systemic examination was unremarkable. The clinical and histopathological features were consistent with the diagnosis of solitary mastocytoma of the vulva. The follow-up after surgical excision was uneventful. The purpose of this communication is (i) to report a case of solitary mastocytoma occurring in an unusual site, the vulva and to show that (ii) in this case age at presentation is 10 years with infancy as common age of presentation of solitary mastocytoma, and to show that (iii) in appropriate setting this should be included in the differential diagnosis of vulval swelling.

ABSTRACT A rare case of sinonasal paraganglioma is described. A 40-year-old female patient presented with 2 years history of unilateral nasal obstruction and bleeding. CT scan demonstrated an expansile enhancing mass involving bilateral ethmoids, right nasal cavity and right maxillary sinus. Histopathological diagnosis was neuroendocrine tumor with possibility of paraganglioma. A subtotal maxillectomy with excision of mass performed. Primary nonchromaffin paraganglioma of nose and paranasal sinus is a very rare tumor, these lesion pose diagnostic challenge to clinicians and pathologist. Only twenty five cases are reported in review of literature. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. How to cite this article Arora V, Verma P, Singh PP, Wadhwa N, Bhatia K.

Cervical tuberculosis is a rare entity with only limited number of case reports in the literature. A 53 year old, P1, post-menopausal housewife presented with history of one episode of post-menopausal bleeding and whitish discharge per vaginum. Speculum examination revealed an ulceroproliferative cervical growth. Clinically she was diagnosed to have carcinoma cervix. However, cervical biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of cervical tuberculosis. She was treated with anti-tubercular drugs for six months and has been disease free for the last two years. This case emphasizes the fact that though cervical tuberculosis is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of carcinoma cervix.

Meningiomas are most commonest benign intracranial neoplasm which are encountered in clinical practice. One of the most uncommon variant is intradiploic meningiomas, which can present as osteoblastic or osteolytic calvarial lesion and should be considered  as differential diagnosis. We here present a rare case report of osteolytic intradiploic meningioma of skull presenting as scalp mass with a background of head injury and discuss its management.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(5) 2016 103-105

Latar belakang: Meningioma ekstrakranial primer merupakan tumor jinak yang berasal dari lapisan otak, tetapi tidak berhubungan dengan aksis sistem saraf pusat, serta tumor ini jarang sekali ditemukan di ekstrakranial, terutama di rongga hidung dan sinus paranasal. Ekstirpasi bedah secara lengkap merupakan pengobatan utama untuk tumor jinak. Tujuan: Memberikan informasi mengenai diagnosis dan tatalaksana meningioma ekstrakranial primer pada regio sinonasal. Kasus: Kasus langka ini ditemukan pada anak laki-laki usia 11 tahun dengan massa tumor pada hidung dan sinus paranasal. Penatalaksanaannya berupa ekstirpasi massa secara lengkap melalui pendekatan rinotomi lateral sinistra, kemudian dilakukan maksilektomi medial dan etmoidektomi eksternal. Pada pemeriksaan histopatologi didapatkan gambaran meningioma tipe transisional (WHO derajat 1). Pewarnaan imunohistokimia vimentin memberikan hasil positif. Setelah dilakukan operasi tampak deformitas minimal pada hidung luar dan proptosis mata kiri dengan visus dalam batas normal. Metode: Penelusuran bukti kepustakaan menghasilkan 81 jurnal, dan hanya 3 jurnal yang relevan dengan pertanyaan klinis kami. Hasil: Ketiga jurnal tersebut merupakan laporan kasus meningioma ekstrakranial sinonasal anak yang ditatalaksana dengan ekstirpasi total, dan tidak didapati kekambuhan pada pemantauan jangka panjang. Kesimpulan: Meningioma ekstrakranial primer mempunyai prognosis yang baik, dengan tingkat kekambuhan yang rendah bila tumor dapat diekstirpasi secara lengkap. Pada kasus ini telah dilaksanakan ekstirpasi total massa tumor.Kata kunci: Meningioma ekstrakranial primer, rinotomi lateral, maksilektomi medialABSTRACT Background: The primary extracranial meningiomas are benign tumors that originate from the meningens of the brain, but not related with the central nervous system axis. This kind of tumor is rarely found extracranially, especially in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. A complete surgical extirpation is the primary treatment of this benign tumor. Objective: To provide information about the diagnosis and management of primary extracranial meningioma in sinonasal region. Case: This rare case was found in 11-year-old boy with tumor mass in the nose and paranasal sinuses. The patient underwent complete mass extirpation with left lateral rhinotomy approach, followed by medial maxillectomy and external ethmoidectomy. Transitional type meningioma (WHO grade 1) was obtained on histopathological examination. Vimentin immunohistochemical staining gave a positive result. In post-surgery evaluation, there was a minimal nasal deformity and protusion of the left eye with vision within normal limits. Methods: Searching for evidence produced 81 journals, and only three were relevant to our clinical question. Result: These three journals were case reports of pediatric extracranial sinonasal meningioma extirpated by surgery and without recurrence at long term follow up. Conclusion: The primary extracranial meningiomas prognosis were good and the recurrence rate were low if a complete extirpation of the tumor could be performed. In this case, total extirpation of the tumor mass had been conducted.Keywords: Primary extracranial meningioma, external approach extirpation, medial maxillectomy

Synovial sarcoma (SS) in young adult mainly involves periarticular region of the extremities. Synovial sarcomas are exceedingly rare neoplasms of the digestive tract. In this report, we describe a very rare occurrence of primary SS of the esophagus in a 30-year-old female. Patient presented with dysphagia. Endoscopy showed submucosal esophageal polyp. Piecemeal polypectomy was done. Histologically, the tumor demonstrated biphasic morphology with epithelial and mesnchymal component. Tumor cells expressed pancytokeratin, bcl-2 and CD99 antigens. Differential diagnosis of synovial sarcoma and epithelial mesenchymal biphasic tumor was made. Cytogenetics was done to confirm the diagnosis of SS. It showed translocation (x;18). Synovial sarcomas are very rare tumor entities, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and are likely to be mistaken with other more common tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Rare Case Report

In this report, we describe a case of atypical neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) presenting with an isolated lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum (ILSCC). There is a paucity of information regarding this topic within the literature and only 7 previous case reports have been published at the time of writing. To our knowledge, this case report is also the first to describe an atypical NMS variant in the context of an ILSCC. In this report, we describe the important considerations in formulating differential diagnosis for ILSCC and are the first report to propose a possible pathophysiological mechanism relating ILSCC with NMS.
