Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a very rare, benign adnexal tumor that originates from the apocrine sweat glands. Herein, we report a 25-year-old male who presented with a 10-year history of an asymptomatic slowly growing skin lesion on his face. Skin examination revealed a solitary rounded 3 × 3 cm erythematous plaque with central crustation on the right side of his face. Punch skin biopsy was taken from the lesion. The epidermis showed downward papillomatous extensions. The dermis showed multiple epithelial sheets and dilated ducts that were lined by columnar cells. On the basis of the above clinicopathological findings, the diagnosis of syringocystadenoma papilliferum was made. The patient was reassured and referred to a surgeon for surgical excision of the lesion.

Hepatic brucelloma (HB), a rare manifestation of brucellosis, refers to liver involvement in the form of abscess. A 35-year-old woman stockbreeder was admitted due to 1-month history of evening fever, sweating and weight loss, while she was on 3-week course of rifampicin/doxycycline for suspected brucellosis. On admission, she had hepatosplenomegaly and a systolic murmur, while cholestasis, increased inflammation markers and a strong-positive Wright-Coombs test were the main laboratory findings. As blood and bone marrow cultures were unrevealing, further investigation with CT imaging showed a central liver calcification surrounded by heterogeneous hypodense area being compatible with HB. Material from CT-guided drainage tested negative for Brucella spp. After failure to improve on a 10-week triple regiment, surgical excision was decided and Brucella spp were identified by PCR. Our case highlights challenges in establishing HB diagnosis, which should be considered on the right epidemiological context and when serological and radiological evidence favour its diagnosis.

Adnexal Tumor

A case of 15year old female presented with lesion over back since childhood, with occasional bleeding and oozing from lesion without any associated systemic complaints. There were multiple verrucous coalescing papules forming plaque with overlying erosion present over left lower back- diagnosed provisionally as angiokeratoma circumscriptum and was biopsied. Histopathology revealed findings consistent with Syringocystadenoma papilliferum. Surgical excision was done and closed with rotation flap. Syringocystadenoma is benign cutaneous adnexal tumor presenting clinically with many morphologies such as warty papules, nodules, plaques with oozing of serous material. Lesion is usually seen in head and neck area in most cases however can also occur on extremities, buttocks, anogenital region. It is characterized by multiple invaginations from skin surface in association with hair follicles lined by cuboidal to columnar epithelium on luminal aspect and myoepithelial cells on outside. There is papillary architecture and dermal ductal component.

Subdural osteomas are extremely rare benign neoplasms. Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old female patient with a right frontal and parietal subdural osteoma. The patient presented with a 2-year history of intermittent headache and fatigue. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed a high-density lesion attached to the inner surface of the right frontal and parietal skull. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated T1 hyperintensity and T2 hypointensity of the lesion. Intraoperatively, the hard mass was located in subdural space and attached to the dura mater. Histopathological examination revealed lamellated bony trabeculae lined by osteoblasts and the intertrabecular marrow spaces occupied by adipose tissue. The patient underwent neurosurgical resection and recovered without complication. Surgical excision is recommended to extract the symptomatic lesions with overlying dura mater.

A 75-year-old woman presented with an 18-month history of severe, slowly worsening dysphonia. She was a smoker and known to have multiple benign cystic thyroid lesions. She reported no associated symptoms and other medical and social history was unremarkable. Fibreoptic nasendoscopy revealed a right-sided supraglottic cyst appearing to arise from the right false vocal cord. Further bedside examination was unremarkable. She underwent microlaryngoscopy and biopsy which showed a cyst originating from the right anterior ventricle, successfully removed without rupture using cold steel. Formal histopathology revealed a 14×10×7 mm unilocular, completely excised cyst lined by oncocytic epithelium and composed of columnar cells with darkly stained nuclei and abundant granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm. Three weeks postoperatively the patient’s voice had returned to normal. To date, 11 months postoperatively, there is no evidence of recurrence, and she will continue long-term follow-up.

Frontal Skull Base

Intracranial intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is very rare, and to our knowledge long-term follow-up results have not been previously published. An 11-year-old boy presented with a 6-month history of progressive visual impairment in the right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-enhanced, large parasellar mass involving the cavernous sinus, right frontal skull base, and ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. Frontotemporal craniotomy and subtotal resection were performed, and the diagnosis of IPEH was confirmed. The mass increased in size during the following 3 months. A second operation was performed via frontotemporal craniotomy combined with a transsphenoidal approach, and gross-total resection of the tumor was achieved. Adjuvant radiotherapy (5040 cGy) and chemotherapy with interferon were administered. The patient's visual symptoms improved, and there was no recurrence during a 13-year follow-up period. The results of this case indicate that intracranial IPEH can recur with subtotal resection; however, optimal resection with multimodal adjuvant treatment can control the disease for many years, if not permanently.

We report a rare case of isolated extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the right true vocal fold in a 38-year-old male with a one-year history of hoarseness. Immunohistochemical staining of plasma cells in the tumour, showed over 90 per cent of them to be positive for kappa light chains. After two attempts at local surgical excision and recurrence within 10 months, the tumour was irradiated.Only seven reported cases of isolated EMP of the true vocal fold are reported in the literature. The therapeutic options are discussed.

Orbital Meningioma

Background: Ectopic orbital meningiomas (OM) are a rare subset of OMs which are neither attached to the optic nerve sheath nor to the surrounding bone. Case Description: We report the case of a 65-year-old female who presented with a 1 year history of proptosis followed by visual loss and restricted right eye movements since 3 months. Radiology of the orbits was suggestive of intraorbital, intraconal, and heterogeneous contrast enhancing right eye lesion which was completely excised through supraorbital orbitotomy approach. Intraoperatively, the right optic nerve, though compressed, and displaced inferiorly, was free from the lesion. The final histopathological diagnosis was “Meningioma WHO Grade I.” At 3 months follow-up, patient’s vision in the right eye improved from perception of light positive to 6/12 and there was no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: Rarity of ectopic OM, total surgical excision with an excellent postoperative visual outcome prompted us to report this case.

<p>Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion commonly seen in the head and neck regions. It is considered as a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that requires surgical excision. COF has traditionally been considered to be slow growing. We report a case of 11 year-old girl who presented to the ENT Department of our hospital with 7 months history of nasal obstruction, proptosis and headache. Computed Tomography scan images showed a mass in the right nasal cavity. This case is notable because involvement of the sphenoid sinus is rare. </p>

A 30-year-old woman was referred to the ear, nose and throat clinic by her primary care physician for a 10-year history of an asymptomatic, large, right-sided neck mass. On examination, the patient had a palpable, non-tender, five-by-four centimetre, mobile, right-sided level II neck mass. CT scan with intravenous contrast showed an enhancing mass with multiple fluid cavities, splaying the external carotid and internal carotid arteries, concerning for a carotid body tumour. Patient was then referred to interventional radiology for angiography and embolisation prior to definitive surgical excision. However, when the mass was then excised surgically, final pathology identified the mass as a ganglioneuroma. Patient recovered well postoperatively with some ptosis of the right eye and symptoms consistent with first bite syndrome, treated with conservative measures.

Objectives. Pyriform sinus fistulae arise from disturbances in the development of the fetal third and fourth branchial pouches and are predominantly found on the left side. We report the rare case of a right-sided pyriform sinus fistula presenting as a lateral neck abscess.Study Design. Case report.Methods. A 24-year-old woman presented with a two-week history of right-sided neck abscess. A fluoroscopic sinogram revealed a fistulous tract extending from the abscess to the apex of the right pyriform sinus. It was determined that the fistula was likely a third or fourth branchial remnant, a rare right-sided finding. Chemocauterization of the fistulous tract with 40% trichloroacetic acid was used to successfully treat the patient.Results. Approximately 93–97% of branchial pouch anomalies are left sided. Treatment options include surgical excision and cauterization.Conclusions. Branchial cleft cyst and pyriform sinus fistula must be considered in the diagnosis of cervical abscess in either side of the neck.
