Pseudoaneurysms of facial artery usually arise from the distal part of the vessel. Only 4 cases were described in the literature involving the proximal part of facial artery. We present a case of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm involving the proximal part of facial artery. A 50-year-old man was referred to our department for a progressively growing submandibular mass. He was injured by a sharp object during a car crash 30 days ago. After 3 weeks, the patient noted the appearance of a subcutaneous mass in the left submandibular area. Physical examination revealed a freely movable, painful, and pulsatile swelling. Ultrasound and computerized tomography scan showed a nodular lesion in the left submandibular area in continuity with the facial artery. The diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of facial artery was suspected. The patient was treated by surgery. The pseudoaneurysm was resected with ligation of the proximal and distal ends of the facial artery.

Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma

A five-year-old boy presented with left tibial swelling; there was a typical radiological feature of osteofibrous dysplasia. He was observed until the age of 14 years; there was development of aggressive radiological features. Biopsy revealed chondroblastic osteosarcoma. It was excised and the histology revealed chondroblastic osteosarcoma. A small lesion distal to the main tumour revealed adamantinoma within a background of feature of osteofibrous dysplasia. Proximally, feature of osteofibrous dysplasia was identified focally. The finding of adamantinoma over the distal part of the lesion supports that feature of osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma. They may be a spectrum of diseases with multistep neoplastic transformation. The osteosarcoma may be a result of de-differentiation from adamantinoma. This case is remarkable as the patient was only 14 years old and the tumour showed typical features of osteosarcoma, with feature of osteofibrous dysplasia and adamantinoma found in the same specimen. Feature of osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma, and adamantinoma may dedifferentiate into osteosarcoma.

Peutz Jeghers Syndrome

Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome is an autosomal dominant inheritedhamartomatous polyp. We present a case of a 5-year-old young boywith a history of per rectal bleeding and mass protruding out of the anus. Physical examination revealed presence of mucocutaneous pigmented lesions over the tongue, and few hamartomatous polyps protruding out of the rectum suggesting Peutz–Jeghers syndrome. The presence in early infancy of small, well-demarcated and dark-brown to blue-black lentigines on the lips,buccal mucosa and perioral skin, should alert the clinician to Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v4i8.11597 Journal of Pathology of Nepal; Vol.4,No. 8 (2014) 677-679

Few cases of anal canal Merkel cell Carcinoma have been reported in the literature. Merkel Cell Carcinoma is rare neuroendocrine tumor which commonly found in sun-exposed areas such as extremities. We describe a case of 74-year-old male with anal canal Merkel Cell Carcinoma. He presented with peri-anal pain, tenesmus and itching. Besides, he was found to have chronic anemia. An anal nodule was found during per-rectum physical examination that was excised during endoscopy. Histological examination of the nodule confirmed the diagnosis of Merkel Cell Carcinoma. Thenceforward, patient died 7 months after diagnosis with marked metastatic disease despite initiation of Pembrolizumab therapy.

Lumbar Spondylolysis

Introduction Diagnosis and treatment of vertebrogenic pain syndrome caused by multilevel lumbar spondylolysis is crucial for patients of different age groups. Objective To report a clinical case of diagnosis and treatment of a two-level lumbar spondylolysis in a 16-year-old male patient, and review the relevant literature. Material and methods We had an experience of treatment and follow-up of a 16-year-old athlete who presented with low back pain and was diagnosed with spondylolysis of the pars interarticularis at the L3 and L5 levels. Diagnostic workup included patient history, physical examination, diagnostic imaging (plain radiograph, computed tomography). Scientific publications from modern medical databases were used for literature review. A total of 32 relevant articles brought out between 1975 and 2019 were reviewed. Results The 16-year-old athlete was diagnosed with multilevel spondylolysis of lumbar spine based on patient history, physical examination data and diagnostic imaging of lumbar spine. No pathognomonic clinical findings were revealed. The diagnosis was confirmed with computed tomography. Conservative treatment was initiated for the patient and a long-termfollow- up was available. Literature review included epidemiologic data characterizing multilevel lumbar spondylolysis: the indicence, patients' gender and age. Major etiological factors, common localization of the pathology, the incidence of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis, treatment strategy including surgical procedures are described. Discussion There is a small number of scientific publications describing different aspects of multilevel spondylolysis of the lumbar spine in the current medical literature. The diagnosis is often delayed for the reason. The natural history of pain in adolescent athletes sustaining the load placed on them in both training and competition can be helpful for timely diagnosis. Conclusion The implications of this clinical case report can be practical for accentuation of multilevel spondylolysis of the lumbar spine among Russian specialists, contribute to medical knowledge and extend to both early diagnosis and efficient management.

ABSTRACT Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a tumor arising from the epithelial cells that cover the surface and line of the nasopharynx. Symptoms of NPC can be obscure due to its anatomic location, which begins in the upper part of the pharynx behind the nose and ends at the proximal part of the trachea and esophagus. These include nasal, aural, and neurologic symptoms, thus often a challenge in diagnosis. Cervical lymphadenopathy is most commonly noted on physical examination, but sometimes rather spreading toward inferiorly it can spread toward superiorly and cause bone erosion and intracranial extension, which presents with visual impairment, proptosis, and cavernous sinus involvement. In this case report, we present a case of superiorly extended NPC without cervical lymphadenopathy presentation. As it is extremely radiosensitive, the best modality of treatment is radiotherapy.

Background: Back mice, or episacroiliac lipoma, represent a potentially treatable cause of low back pain that may be under-recognized in clinical practice. Despite being well characterized based on clinical history and physical examination findings, implementation of appropriate treatment may be delayed or missed based on a lack of familiarity with the diagnosis. Objectives: In this case report and literature review, we describe a 47-year-old woman with history of persistent low back pain who presented with a pain exacerbation consistent with a back mouse. The history, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, potential mechanisms for pain, and treatment options for back mice were then reviewed. Study Design: Case report and literature review. Setting: Academic university-based pain management center. Results: Studies included one randomized clinical trial, 4 cross-sectional studies, 8 case reports or series, and 16 other publications prior to 1967. Limitations: A single case report. Conclusions: Firm, rubbery, mobile nodules that are located in characteristic regions of the sacroiliac, posterior superior iliac, and the lumbar paraspinal regions may represent fatty tissue that has herniated through fascial layers. When painful, these back mice may be confused with other causes of low back pain. In particular, the presence of point tenderness may mimic myofascial pain, and reports of radicular pain may imitate herniated nucleus pulposus. However, back mice may be distinguished from other entities based on findings from the history and physical examination such as absence of neurological deficit. Treatment consisting of injection of local anesthetic into the nodule with or without corticosteroid followed by repeated, direct needling has been reported to relieve pain in many case reports. The one clinical trial comparing injection of local anesthetic to normal saline, which did not include repeated needling, found only mild and transient benefit in the treatment group. Key words: Low back pain, back mice, back mouse, episacroiliac lipoma, lumbar subcutaneous nodules, multifidus triangle syndrome, subcutaneous fatty nodes, case report, review
