Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a rare clinical entity comprising of one or more segments of variable sized ossified masses in the fibrocartilaginous substance of the tendon. The etiology of ossification of the Achilles tendon is multifactorial with recurrent trauma and surgery comprising major predisposing factors, with others being metabolic, systemic, and infectious diseases. The possibility of a genetic predisposition towards this entity has also been raised, but has not yet been proven. We present a rare case of ossification of the bilateral Achilles tendons without any history of trauma or surgery in a 48-year-old female patient.

ABSTRACT Invasive aspergillosis in an immunocompetent host is a rare clinical entity. The purpose of this article is to create awareness of existence of invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis in an immunocompetent, young, otherwise healthy host and its management with emphasizing the importance of balancing open surgical approach with endoscopic approach in order to achieve the optimum clearance of disease. A 48 years old female patient presented with 6 months history of nontender swelling over the left maxilla, 5 months history of left-sided nasal blockage and 2 months history of left orbital proptosis.

A 52-year-old female patient, para 2 live 2, who attained surgical menopause 10 years back, presented to the outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of white discharge per vagina for 6 months, which was watery in consistency and was not associated with foul smell or itching vulva. She had history of hysterectomy done for fibroid uterus 10 years back. On examination, she was afebrile and vital signs were within normal limits. Per abdomen examination, was normal, while, per speculum examination revealed a watery discharge per vaginum. The per vaginal examination revealed a firm, non-tender, globular mass felt arising from the vaginal vault and the mass did not bleed on touch. A globular mass of size 3 x 4 cms, pinkish white in colour, was seen occupying the whole of the vaginal vault with curdy white precipitates in the vaginal rugosities as well as over the mass.

Buschke–Löwenstein tumor is known to manifest not only in sexually active people and adolescents exposed to violence or drugs, but also in people who do not have any predisposing factors or bad habits. Several studies have shown that in the majority of children with anogenital warts, HPV can be transmitted asexually by hetero- inoculation or through infected objects. To our knowledge, there are currently few reports on BLT in HPV-negative patients in the literature. In our case, the patient presented early, with multiple slow growing warts, no history of alcohol intake, drug use or smoking and no HPV infection, which makes this case unique and important.

Massive ascites as a presentation of endometriosis is a rare clinical entity that is most commonly seen in black nulliparous females. Herein, we describe a case of a 32-year-old multiparous Thai woman who presented with a two-year history of abdominal distension. Computerized tomography of the abdominopelvic region showed an infiltrative enhancing lesion involving the cul-de-sac and perirectal region with massive loculated ascites, suggesting carcinomatosis peritonei. Abdominal paracentesis was performed to yield fluid samples for evaluation, which revealed no malignant cells, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was negative for tuberculosis. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy which revealed a large amount of serosanguinous ascites, thickened matted bowel loops, and necrotic debris covering the entire surface of the peritoneum and visceral organs. The surgical procedures included drainage of 6.5 liters of ascites, lysis adhesion, biopsy of the peritoneum, and right salpingo-oophorectomy. Histologic examination revealed benign endometrial glands with stroma at the peritoneum tissue and broad ligament. Other causes of ascites were excluded. The ascites responded to drainage and hormonal suppression. A final diagnosis of endometriosis was made based on these findings. Endometriosis should therefore be considered in differential diagnosis in women of childbearing age who present with ascites.

Sinonasal Teratocarcinosarcoma

ABSTRACT Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is a rare tumor of the paranasal sinuses, that shows combined features of both malignant teratoma and carcinosarcoma. It was earlier called teratoid carcinosarcoma or blastoma or teratocarcinoma or malignant teratoma. Its pecularity is its highly aggressive nature with a 5 years survival rate of 45% with treatment according to published statistics. Its treatment modality is a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. Here, we report one such case who presented with a history of one episode of torrential bleeding from left nostril and nasal obstruction for 3 months for which total excision of the tumor was done by endoscopic-assisted left lateral rhinotomy approach. Histopathology and Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma and she was subsequently administered radiotherapy postoperatively.

Vertebral Duplication represents the most severe aspect of the spectrum of Split Cord Malformations. It is a rare anomaly with very few reported cases. Associated other spinal anomalies along with severe neurovascular and genitourinary anomalies may also co-exist. We are reporting a case of a 21 years old adult female patient, who presented with history of trauma, incidentally detected to be having complete lumbar duplication along with dural sac duplication and multiple complex segmentation anomalies in the form of incarcerated lateral hemi-vertebra, butterfly vertebra and non-segmented lateral hemi-vertebra at D10 to D12 vertebrae. On Computed Tomography (CT) imaging these anomalies become well evident while the patient presented with no neurological manifestations or abnormalities. This is a rarely reported scenario in literature where no neurological symptoms are seen in a case of vertebral duplication.

Metallic Ring

Strangulation of penis is a rare clinical entity, which requires urgent urological management to prevent its devastating outcomes. The treatment of penile strangulation is immediate decompression of the constricted penis to facilitate free blood flow. Many different techniques have been described in literature to remove the constricting penile foreign bodies, but there is no universally accepted technique. Each case needs individualized handling in removing the foreign body. The procedure should be done with as little discomfort to the patient as possible and under anesthesia. Here we present to you a case report on a rare case of a metallic ring penile foreign body causing penile strangulation.

With its inherent resistance to infection, abscess of the thyroid has been rarely encountered clinically. The disease is usually preceded by an attack of upper respiratory tract infection. The availability of potent broad spectrum antibiotics is one important factor due to which currently thyroid abscess has become a rare clinical entity. But we report a case of thyroid abscess in an otherwise 26 yr old healthy young female with a long standing goitre. She gave no history of preceding URTI. The causative organism was identified as Salmonella typhi.

ABSTRACT An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign osteolytic bony lesion that commonly affects the long bones with rare presentation in the jaws. The etiopathogenesis of ABC is unsure. Several theories have been suggested like trauma, intramedullary hematoma, alterations in local hemodynamics, reactive malformation, and genetic predisposition. Though ABCs are considered as secondary phenomenon in preexisting benign and malignant bony lesions, intermittent reports of ABCs with primary/denovo origin are generating perplexity in the scenario. Here, we describe a rare case of giant ABC involving mandible extending from right angle of mandible to left canine region which crosses midline, in a 10-year-old female patient, without any evidence of preexisting bony lesion.

Rare Benign Tumor

Odontogenic myxofibroma is a rare, benign tumor, which is considered to be the variant of odontogenic myxoma. It is locally infiltrative, aggressive and has high recurrence rate. Only 24 specific cases of myxofibroma have been reported since 1950 and only two cases have been reported with excessive calcifications till 2012. Here, we report a rare case of Odontogenic myxofibroma with calcifications in 53 years old female patient who presented with the chief complain of swelling. The final diagnosis of Odontogenic myxofibroma was established after histopathological and immunohistochemical examination.
