Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is a rare maxillofacial tumor, usually presenting within the first year of life, often a benign locally aggressive lesion, with wide local excision providing the best opportunity of cure. In past reports, direct tissue visualization guided resection, with occasional need for reoperation to clear margins. In this case report, a method is presented to achieve clear margins in surgery using virtual surgical planning and surgical stealth navigation.

We report a case of Subcutaneous Fat Necrosis (SCFN) of a newborn which is an uncommon disorder, occurs during the first year of life, and has been attributed to perinatal stress. SCFN usually has a favorable prognosis, with complete autoresolution of subcutaneous lesions within several weeks or months, but it may also be complicated by serious metabolic alterations such as hypercalcemia.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2017; 35(4): 192-195

Abstract- Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare and distinctive neoplasm of early infancy with rapid expansile growth and a high rate of recurrences. Most commonly the lesion affects the maxilla of infants during the first year of life, but it may also occur in the mandible, skull, brain, epididymis, and other rare locations. Common treatment methods’ include surgical excision and resection of the tumor. The aim of this article was to show the diagnosis and treatment of a 7-month-old patient with melanotic neuroectodermal tumor occurred in the anterior mandible and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Introduction. Liposarcoma is a rare pathological entity. By far it is the most common histological subtype of genitourinary sarcomas in adults. Approximately two hundred cases were reported in the literature. We are hereby presenting a case with a typical clinical scenario of paratesticular liposarcoma.Case report. A 75-year-old gentleman presented with a painless right hemiscrotal swelling that was progressively increasing in size over the last 6 years. Testicular tumour markers were negative. Imaging showed a heterogenous mass with fat component. Subsequently he underwent wide local excision that included the paratesticular mass along with the right testicle and all right inguinal canal contents up to the deep inguinal ring with the sparing of right illioinguinal nerve. Histopathological examination showed a well differentiated liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. He remained recurrence-free so far after 18 months of followup.Conclusion. Radical orchidectomy with wide local excision comprises the cornerstone of treatment of paratesticular liposarcoma. Due to the rarity of the disease there is no definite universal consensus of opinion as regards the role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Purpose: To report the use of virtual surgical planning and a 3D printed drill guide for the biopsy of mandibular lesions. Case report: A 38-year-old woman presented with two bilateral lesions in the mandibular body, in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and the molar roots. An incisional biopsy was planned with coDiagnostiX software using the cone beam computed tomography DICOM files and a cast model that had been digitalized using a bench scanner (7series, Dental Wings, Quebec, Canada). A tooth-supported drill guide was produced by 3D printing with digital light processing technology (Moonray S, Sprintray, CA, USA). The surgical procedure was performed under local anesthesia. No complications were observed intraoperatively or during postoperative recovery. Conclusion: The use of an intraoperative surgical 3D-printed drill guide enables a smaller surgical procedure and more precise bone biopsies.

Basal cell carcinoma of the penis is an extremely rare entity, accounting for less than 0.03% of all basal cell carcinomas. Fortunately, wide local excision of such lesions is generally curative. Fewer than 25 cases have been reported in the literature describing penile basal cell carcinoma. Here we report a case of penile basal cell carcinoma cured with wide local excision.

Left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPFVT) is extremely rare in neonates. We described a 17-day-old girl with LPFVT who was initially misdiagnosed as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Eventually, she was successfully treated by amiodarone infusion followed by oral amiodarone with propranolol for 9 months, and LPFVT spontaneously resolved after a 1-year follow-up. This case report illustrated the basic principles and caveats in differential diagnosis of LPFVT in the neonatal age group. With proper diagnosis and therapy, neonatal LPFVT might regress in the first year of life.
