A case of cerebral embolism with infarction presenting as an intra cranial space occupying lesion is described. This is a rare sequel of cerebral infarction. This case highlights some of the false physical signs of a rapidly developing rise in intra cranial pressure and the falsity of the history of fall after an attack of cerebral infarction. The place of emergency carotid angiography and brain scan is also discussed in the accurate diagnosis of such cases.

CONTEXT: Cervical thymoma is a primitive thymic neoplasia. It is very rare. This disease presents higher incidence in female patients in their 4th to 6th decade of life. We present a case report of a cervical thymoma CASE REPORT: 54-year-old female patient, caucasian, with no history of morbidity, presenting a left cervical nodule close to the thyroid gland. During the 30 months of investigation a left cervical nodule grew progressively next to the thyroid while the patient showed no symptoms, making accurate diagnosis difficult. Tests on her thyroid function did not show changes, nor were there changes in any subsidiary tests. The diagnosis of the disease was made intra-operatively through total thyroid individualization. The results were confirmed by the histological findings from the ressected material. Cervical thymoma is a very rare disease, with difficult preoperatory diagnosis. Some additional study methods which are employed today are thallium 201, technetium 99 and iodine 131 scintigraphy, magnetic nuclear resonance and especially histopathological findings and classification.

Tuberculosis is one of the most common diseases in Bangladesh and has variable clinical manifestations. Isolated Hepatic tuberculosis is not a common disease; in fact the presentation of hepatic tuberculosis may be without having history of any active Pulmonary TB or military TB. Patient usually present without having any typical symptoms; so it is difficult for a physician to diagnose the disease quickly. Patient presenting with space occupying lesion in liver is confused with abscess, hepatoma or metastases. Here we are presenting a case report of isolated hepatic tuberculosis.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2015; 26 (1) : 43-45

Macroscopic ectopic or heterotopic ganglionic tissue within the cauda equina is a very rare pathological finding and is usually associated with spinal dysraphism. However, it may mimic genuine neoplasms of the cauda equina. The authors describe a 29-year-old woman with a history of back pain, right leg pain, and urinary incontinence in whom imaging demonstrated an enhancing mass located in the cauda equina at the L1–2 interspace. The patient subsequently underwent biopsy and was found to have a focus of ectopic ganglionic tissue that was 1.3 cm in greatest dimension. To the authors' knowledge, ectopic or heterotopic ganglionic tissue within the cauda equina in a patient without evidence of spinal dysraphism has never been reported. This patient presented with imaging and clinical findings suggestive of a neoplasm, and an open biopsy proved the lesion to be ectopic ganglionic tissue. The authors suggest that ectopic ganglionic tissue be added to the list of differential diagnoses of a space-occupying lesion arising from the cauda equina.

Fishbone perforation, a severe complication causing damage to nearby organs, is difficult to diagnose because the patient and family cannot remember the history of fishbone ingestion exactly. A detailed history of eating, as well as a thorough physical examination and diagnostic imaging, are needed to make an accurate diagnosis.

Rabbits are becoming common as pets in Brazil, and veterinarians are seeing an increased demand for clinical treatment of their species. Reproductive diseases in rabbits are rarely described in veterinary literature, with few cases of dystocia and fetal death reported. We report a case of dystocia in a 75 days old rabbit presented with a history of purulent vaginal discharge and loss of appetite. Dystocia was diagnosed by physical and radiographic examination, and ovariohisterectomy was recommended. Accurate diagnosis, immediate intervention and adequate treatment resulted in good postoperative outcome.

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is an infectious disease caused by infected cat when it scratches a person hard enough to break the surface of skin. Although it’s a rare disease, the frequency of disease is 1 in 10,000 people. Here we are presenting a case of CSD which was diagnosed with the help of HPE and confirmed by history of scratch from patient’s pet cat. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy without any complications. However, prognosis is generally good, negligence of disease may lead to serious complications. A correlation of detailed history with clinical presentation as well as high index of suspicion will aid in accurate diagnosis of CSD.

In this case report, we present a case of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) diagnosis in a patient after a 7-year history of suspicious pancreatic cancer. Kim’s and Japanese criteria were used to diagnose AIP. Our case avoided undesirable invasive procedures and recovered thanks to the proper diagnosis and timely treatment with prednisone. Early and accurate diagnosis of AIP, in this case, had a significant impact on the treatment and prognosis process.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

Introduction: The umbilical vein can become recanalised due to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis but the condition is rarely clinically significant. Although bleeding from this enlarged vein is a known complication, the finding of thrombophlebitis has not been previously described. Case report: We report the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease presenting to hospital with epigastric pain. A CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a thrombus with surrounding inflammatory changes in a recanalised umbilical vein. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged home the following day. Conclusion: Thrombophlebitis of a recanalised umbilical vein is a rare cause of abdominal pain in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Malignant Lesions

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.
