Seborrheic keratosis is a benign tumour of skin, a common hyperkeratotic lesion of the epidermis,that usually occurs in the trunk and less frequently in the extremities, face and the scalp. A 65-year old farmer presented with a long standing, slowly growing, firm, redbrown, polypoidal mass about 2×2.5 cm in size, located at the skin mucosa interfare of the tip of nose. The lesion was excised under general anesthesia and histopathologic examination showed seborrheic keratosis. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical & histopathological examination. Here, we discuss the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, pathological diagnosis and management of such a case. There was no recurrence during a year follow-up.Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2015; 21(2): 119-121

Pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma is a rare, newly described melanocytic tumor that encompasses lesions previously classified as animal type melanomas and epithelioid blue nevus of the Carney complex. Pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma is a specific clinicopathological entity with particular clinical presentation and histological features. We present the case of a 5 year old female patient with a heavily pigmented papule on her right thigh that showed histological findings compatible with pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma and discuss the relevance /clinical significance of sentinel lymph node biopsy as a staging procedure in this particular neoplasm.

Abstract The clinical presentation of a sphenoid fungal ball (FB) is often non-specific and tends to be overlooked, particularly in hosts with an intact immune status. Rarely, potentially life-threatening complications may arise, owning its anatomical characteristics with contiguous structures. Herein, we present an unusual case of sphenoid FB complicated with orbital apex syndrome in an immunocompetent patient. The diagnosis dilemma and subsequent management are further discussed.

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE This case report illustrates the importance of obtaining tissue from a destructive lesion of the dens in a patient with systemic sarcoidosis. Although sarcoidosis can involve the axial skeleton, tissue obtained at the time of C1–C2 fusion demonstrated unsuspected pathological features, which dramatically altered the subsequent medical treatment. The technique of open posterior biopsy of the dens is illustrated, and the advantages of the approach are discussed. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 40-year-old woman with systemic sarcoidosis developed neck pain and atlantoaxial instability. Imaging revealed multiple thoracic and cervical vertebral abnormalities, including a destructive enhancing lesion involving the base of the dens. INTERVENTION At the time of posterior C1–C2 fusion, we elected to perform an open biopsy of the base of the dens. A 16-gauge biopsy needle was introduced along the medial portion of the left C2 pars, aiming medially toward the base of the odontoid process. This procedure was performed under direct observation, with fluoroscopic guidance. The biopsy specimen contained caseating granulomas, and cultures were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. CONCLUSION The unusual presentation, the technique, and the importance of obtaining tissue to confirm the diagnosis of tuberculous involvement of the dens are emphasized. The relationship between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis reported in the literature is reviewed. In the current case, cell wall-positive tuberculous bacteria were cultured, confirming the presence of two separate diseases in the same patient.

An unusual case of cutaneous angiosarcoma clinically mimicking eczema is described. A 98-year-old Caucasian male presented with a 6-month history of a flesh-colored, subcutaneous nodule on his left forehead with contralateral facial erythema and scaling that had been previously diagnosed as eczema. Despite treatments with topical steroids and moisturizers, the condition did not resolve. At our clinic, excisional biopsy of the forehead lesion and scouting biopsies from the contralateral cheek were performed which revealed cutaneous angiosarcoma. The described case illustrates that dermatitis-like features should be considered as a rare clinical manifestation of cutaneous angiosarcoma. It also demonstrates that these lesions may respond well to radiotherapy as a single modality.

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.
