Prompt Diagnosis

Introduction. Osteoid osteoma is an uncommon, small, benign, self-limiting, and usually painful tumor of the skeleton. Diagnosis can be straightforward if seen in the usual locations as the femur and the tibia in young adults, who present with nocturnal pain, alleviated by salicylates. The diagnosis can be more challenging in the spine, pelvis, hand, or feet. Case Report. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy who was treated symptomatically for a painful toe since 10 months, without a definitive diagnosis. X-ray, MRI, and scintigraphy, along with the typical nocturnal pain and swelling of the toe, suggested an osteoid osteoma, confirmed by histology after excisional biopsy of the lesion. Conclusion. Osteoid osteoma should always be included in the differential diagnosis when it comes to nocturnal pain without systemic signs, even in unusual places in children. The awareness should lead to a prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

Genital warts are common relative to other verrucous lesions of the anogenital region. Consideration of the differential diagnosis of verrucous anogenital lesions is necessary, however, to make a correct diagnosis consistently and to avoid futile, painful, and possibly traumatic attempts at treatment. In this report, I describe a child with a history suspicious for sexual abuse who was treated with inappropriate measures because of misdiagnosis of perianal lymphangioma circumscriptum as genital warts. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of lymphangioma is presented. CASE REPORT A 5-year-old Hispanic boy was referred by his pediatrician to the Dermatology Service with an eruption of red papules on the left buttock and perianal region.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. Here, we report a case of 64 year old male patient with PG on midline of the dorsum of the posterior third of the tongue. Its differential diagnosis, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis and about the new approaches for its treatment is discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10619Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 84-86

Dieulafoy Lesion

Dieulafoy lesion is a rare cause of massive GI bleeding. It’s an abnormal sub-mucosal artery protruding from a minute mucosal defect (≤3 mm). A 31 yearold male presented with complaints of hematochezia. Preliminary investigations failed to locate the exact source of bleed. Enteroscopy suggested distal ileal bleed. At laparotomy, an ulcerated nodular lesion, approximately 0.5 cm was identified in distal ileum. 30 cm of ileum along with mesentery was resected. Histology revealed it to be Dieulafoy lesion. Dieulafoy lesion is uncommon but one of the causes of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding that could result in treacherous and life-threatening gastrointestinal haemorrhage. This lesion is difficult to identify and high index of suspicion is required to make diagnosis. Hence, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of active GI bleeding. The definitive diagnosis is based only on histopathology.

Worse Prognosis

Gastroblastoma (GB) is a rare gastric epithelial-mesenchymal neoplasm, first described by Miettinen et al. So far, all reported cases described the tumor in children or young adults, and similarities with other childhood blastomas have been postulated. We report a case of GB in a 43-year-old patient with long follow up and no recurrence up to 100 months after surgery. So far, this is the second case of GB occurring in the adult age >40-year-old. Hence, GB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of microscopically comparable conditions in adults carrying a worse prognosis and different clinical approach.

Diagnostic Difficulty

Osteoid osteoma is a benign tumour of bone that rarely localises in the carpal bones. Its treatment by curettage and bone grafting is considered to be curative and its recurrence is thought to be rare. We report a case of an osteoid osteoma of the lunate, which recurred seven years after the initial operation. Recurrent osteoid osteoma of the lunate bone has not been reported in the literature. We present this case report for its atypical presentation and diagnostic difficulty and also to alert the readers of the possibility of an osteoid osteoma as a cause of the chronic unexplained wrist pain in young adults.

This case report demonstrates signs of uveitis and difficulties of the differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis as the cause of uveitis. A 57-year-old woman, who had visual loss in her both eyes, developed bilateral panuveitis: bilateral precipitates on the cornea with posterior synechia and infiltrates in the vitreous, and multifocal, peripheral retinochoroiditis. Chest X-ray revealed an infiltrate and numerous smaller granulomas in both lungs. The presumptive diagnosis was tuberculosis, however, biopsy of the pulmonal lesion showed sarcoidosis. Pulmonary and ophthalmologic findings rapidly disappeared with corticosteroid therapy. The author concludes that sarcoidosis may present with different signs of uveitis. Histopathology is of great importance for the differentiation between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, which is very important for the therapy. Orv. Hetil., 154(45), 1798–1801.

The paper presents a case of a 61-year-old patient with chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS), along with a detailed description of the diagnostic and therapeutic process, as well as radiological records reflecting the evolution of lesions depending on the steroid therapy used. We also refer to the latest literature reports on the aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this clinical entity, including its potential relationship with lymphoproliferative and lymphohistiocytic processes. Furthermore, we present a spectrum of diseases that can clinically and radiologically mimic CLIPPERS (CLIPPERS-mimics), along with the proposed differential diagnosis. Finally, the paper presents the recommended treatment strategy for both acute disease and a maintenance therapy, with particular emphasis on the role of steroid therapy.
