We describe an unusual case of an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) associated with an ungrafted left-sided alveolar cleft in a 10-year-old male patient. There is no previous report in the literature of OKC or other dental cysts associated with an alveolar cleft. We discuss the management of the OKC prior to secondary bone grafting and present this case to highlight the difficulty in the management of OKC concurrent with grafting of the alveolar cleft site, the proximity of unerupted permanent teeth, and possible treatment modalities.

The diagnosis of a congenital talonavicular coalition is one that often may be little more than an incidental radiographic finding. However, the acute onset of vague midfoot symptomatology secondary to a minor traumatic event may reveal this rarely reported condition on further clinical examination. The authors present a description of the characteristic historical and clinical features of talonavicular coalitions, current diagnostic and treatment modalities available, and a case presentation of an acute painful talonavicular synostosis in an adolescent male athlete.

Primary pleural angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor. We report the case of a patient who presented with recurrent massive bilateral hemothoraxes. Although thoracoscopy was performed, biopsy samples of the pleura were inconclusive. The delayed onset of skin metastases led to the diagnosis of angiosarcoma, however the patient died from pleuropulmonary progression before treatment could be started. We review the literature of primary pleuropulmonary angiosarcoma and discuss its treatment modalities.

Glioblastoma is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor but its occurrence in the cerebellum is very rare. Giving its low occurrence the treatment modalities and outcome of this glioblastoma location are still poorly understood. We present the case of an adult woman with a cerebellar glioblastoma treated at the Clinical Hospital of Montevideo, and we perform a non-systematic review of the literature concerning the clinical, radiological and pathological features of this tumor, as well as its treatment modalities, prognostic factors and outcome.
