A choristoma is a tumor-like mass of normal tissue in an “abnormal” location. Lingual osseous choristoma, previously known as osteoma of the tongue, is a rare entity: we found documentation of eight cases at our center during the 10-year period between 1987 and 1996. These cases were analyzed along with 50 others reported in the English language literature between 1913 and 1996. Lingual osseous choristoma frequently occurs during the third and fourth decades of life, and predominantly affects women (81 %). Most of the osseous choristomas in our review were located in the posterior third of the tongue, primarily at or close to the foramen cecum or circumvallate papillae (87.9%). While 39.7% of the patients were asymptomatic, the remaining patients complicated of symptoms including a lump in the throat (25.8%), dysphagia (6.9%), gagging (5.1%), nausea (3.4%) and irritation (3.4%). Treatment of lingual osseous choristoma consists of simple excision. The tumor's origin has been discussed elsewhere.

AbstractObjectives:To present a case of, and to review the literature concerning, osteoblastoma of the nasal cavity, and to demonstrate the importance of considering this rare entity when assessing patients presenting with a nasal septum lesion.Case report:Benign osteoblastoma is a rare tumour, constituting 1 per cent of all bone tumours. Most cases occur in the long bones. Osteoblastoma involving the nasal cavity is rare, with only 10 reported cases in the English-language literature. Most nasal cavity cases originate from the ethmoid sinus and spread to involve the nasal cavity. There are only four reported cases of osteoblastoma originating from the bones of the nasal cavity. We report a case of osteoblastoma originating from the bony nasal septum in a 45-year-old man with a history of recurrent, right-sided epistaxis and nasal obstruction.Conclusion:This is the second report in the English-language literature of osteoblastoma originating from the bony nasal septum.

Facial paraganglioma is an extremely rare tumor that originates from abnormal paraganglionic tissue situated in the intrapetrous facial canal. A review of the English-language literature shows that only 8 cases of facial nerve paraganglioma have been published. In each case the facial glomus presented itself sporadically, completely independent of any other form of paraganglioma. This study reports an intrapetrous facial glomus that occurred in a case of multiple paragangliomas with a hereditary pattern. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a combination.

Perineuromas (PN) are uncommon, slowly growing, usually benign tumors composed of well-differentiated perineural cells. Two variants are recognized: intraneural perineuromas and soft tissue perineuroma, which includes a sclerosing subset of tumors. They are usually reported in the adult population. We present three cases of soft tissue perineuromas in children. One was located in the deep soft tissue of the retroperitoneum in a 14-year-old girl, the second one in the left thumb of a 14-year-old boy, and the third one in the index finger of a 16-year-old boy. This report, which describes the clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of these tumors, should alert pathologists to the occurrence of perineuromas in children. A review of the English language literature on perineuromas in children is also included.

Dermoid cysts of the tongue are uncommon. To date, there have been nine reported cases in the English language literature. In this article, we describe five cases accessioned at our institution over a 12-year period, two of which have previously been reported. The prevalence of dermoid cysts at our institution over this period was quite low. Of 324,042 surgical cases, 0.24% (765 cases) were dermoid cysts. Of these, five were from the tongue, representing only 0.7% of the dermoid cysts accessioned and 0.0015% of the total surgical specimens. The literature is reviewed and the possible origin of these lesions is discussed.

Glomangiomatosis is benign but may manifest as diffusely, locally infiltrating lesions and recur after simple excision. However, conservative treatment should be advocated. The authors report a recent case in which the lesion occurred in the paravertebral area. The patient was a 39-year-old Chinese man who complained of chronic lumbago for 20 years. The clinicopathological features, in conjunction with the immunostaining pattern and ultrastructural features, confirmed the diagnosis. Glomangiomatosis is an extremely rare soft-tissue lesion. To the best of authors' knowledge, only 10 cases have been reported in the English-language literature worldwide, and the current case is the first to represent a lesion arising from the paravertebral area. The authors review the English-language literature in glomangiomatosis.

Abstract This paper explores the possibilities of introducing contemporary Canadian texts into a Polish university classroom. It contextualizes teaching English language literature in Poland as well as seeks options for promoting values such as openness and tolerance while facilitating global reading and raising students’ awareness on global conflicts and their meaning in the contemporaneous world. The paper aims at demonstrating that Canadian literature courses composed of texts concerned with immigration and multiculturalism turn out to have an enormous potential in creating valuable debates on the problem of embracing otherness, seeking bridges in mutual understanding, and promoting openness towards different identities. On the basis of close readings of three texts, M. Ondaatje’s The English Patient, A.J. Borkowski’s Copernicus Avenue, and E. Stachniak’s Necessary Lies, the present article also demonstrates how Canadian literature enriches and rescales students’ perception of cultural heterogeneity and responsibility of reading, thus offering new perspectives on the rapidly changing world.

It’s commonly believed that the book “Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law” (1913) of Eugen Erlich (1862–1922) was historically the first work in which was made an attempt to create a sociology of law as a specific scientific discipline. However the translation and publication of this work in Russian (2011) was insignificant to the sociological community, while in the English-language literature of the last decades we can observe a growing interest to the classic. The author of the article tries to emphasize the main points and advantages of the theory of the “living law” of Ehrlich, showing how the “Fundamental principles...” may be interesting for the modern reader. For this, the author of the article offers a specific strategy for reading the book.

The development of a rash in response to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) administration is a fre-quent adverse reaction in people with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In contrast, there are no published reports in the English language literature describing TMP-SMX induced delirium in an AIDS patient. This report describes the development of frank delirium in a person with AIDS receiving TMP-SMX. The episode resolved completely within 72 h of withdrawal of the drug.
