Lymphangioma is a rare benign proliferative lymphatic lesion that appears in chronic lymphedematous states in a variety of settings. Lymphangioma circumscriptum consists of clinically thin-walled, translucent vesicles appearing in groups most commonly located on the axilla, chest, mouth, and tongue. A 12-year-old male patient had been suffering from itching, pink-red colored, translucent vesicular lesions overlying the anterior axilla since birth. The lesions had slowly grown in size and number over the years. The patient had no history of trauma, or cellulites. The physical examination revealed clusters of pink-red colored vesicles, which released a clear exudate when punctured. The lesion was 50×120 mm in size. The lesion was totally excised and repaired with Z-plasty. Histopathological examination revealed slight epidermal acanthosis and enlarged lymph in the upper dermis, impinging directly onto the epidermis. These lymphatics were lined only by endothelium. The lower dermis and subcutis contained abnormally large muscle-coated vessels containing a proteinaceous fluid. Six months later, there was no recurrence and a cosmetically and functionally acceptable postoperative result was obtained.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

AbstractBackground: Known also as Osler’s triad, Austrian syndrome is a complex pathology which consists of pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis, all caused by the haematogenous dissemination of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The multivalvular lesions are responsible for a severe and potential lethal outcome.Case report: The case of a 51-year-old female patient, with a past medical history of splenectomy, is presented. She developed bronchopneumonia, acute meningitis and infective endocarditis as a result of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and subsequently developed multiple organ dysfunction syndromes which led to a fatal outcome. Bacteriological tests did not reveal the etiological agent. The histopathological examination showed a severe multivalvular endocarditis, while a PCR based molecular analysis from formalin fixed valvular tissue identified Streptococcus pneumoniae as the etiologic agent.Conclusions: The presented case shows a rare syndrome with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Following the broad-spectrum treatment and intensive therapeutic support, the patient made unfavourable progress which raised differential diagnosis problems. In this case, the post-mortem diagnosis demonstrated multiple valvular lesions occurred as a result of endocarditis.

A 33-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of progressive alopecia of the scalp. Past treatment with hydroxicloroquine did not show improvement. Physical examination revealed multiple areas of alopecia with atrophic aspect of the scalp, and axillary and pubic hypotrichosis. Dermoscopy showed hyperkeratosis and accentuation of follicular ostia. Anatomopathological examination revealed decrease in the number of hair follicles, upper perifollicular infiltrate and areas with fibrosis. The Piccardi-Lassueur-Graham-Little syndrome is a rare disorder, characterized by the triad of multifocal scarring alopecia of the scalp, keratotic follicular eruption and hypotrichosis of axillary and pubic regions. Management is a challenge and many medications tried have controversial results. We report a case of this rare syndrome which improved with corticoids.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign vascular neoplasm, but it is locally aggressive. This accounts for less than 0.5% of all the neoplasm in the head & neck region in the male population only. Here we report a case of 10-year-old boy with a blackish red smooth polypoidal mass in the nasal cavity, with history of recurrent epistaxis. On physical examination it was suspected as nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. We removed it totally by lateral rhinotomy approach. And the diagnosis was nasopharyngeal angiofibroma on histopathology.

Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycaemia

Hypoglycaemia in the post-operative period is mainly iatrogenic (related to anti-hyperglycaemic drugs), but can be explained by an endogenous hyperinsulinemic state. In the context of previous gastrointestinal surgery, a form of dumping syndrome can mask hypoglycaemia from an underlying cause, such as an insulinoma. The authors present a clinical case of a male patient who underwent oesophageal surgery for an oesophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma and developed hypoglycaemic symptoms in the post-operative period, caused by an undiagnosed insulinoma. This case report portraits the diagnostic investigation of a hypoglycaemia state in the post-operative period, narrowing to the workup of an endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia and provides a summary of insulinoma’s treatment. An insulinoma should always be considered in a patient with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia, even with a history of oesophago-gastric surgery.

Background: Compound presentation occurs in approximately 1/700 deliveries. Being the rarest type, there is scarce literature about the recommended management for vertex-hand-feet variety of compound presentation. We report a similar type of compound presentation. Case Summary: A 25 years-old primigravida who claimed to be 9 months ammenorric presented with a history of pushing down pain of 12 hours duration with associated history of passage of liquor of 4 hours duration. Up on physical examination she was in active first of labor at cervical dilation of 5 centimeters and the presentation was compound- a vertex-hand-feet variety. Cesarean delivery was done after two hours of conservative management and the outcome was an alive 2300grams male neonates with no perinatal or maternal complication. Conclusion: In the rarest variety of compound presentation, which is a vertex, hand, and feet type, spontaneous correction is unusual if the fetus is alive and interference is usually necessary.

The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.
