Rare Benign Tumour

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign tumour of bone. Diagnosis is not easy and is often made by excluding other tumours. Histopathological diagnosis of this tumour is also sometimes not easy. The treatment modalities for this tumour are non-uniform and often controversial. In the present case surgical options were left aside because the patient did not consent to surgery, so radiotherapy was used, with success at 3-year follow-up. This case is presented here along with a review of relevant literature.

Rare Benign Tumour

Congenital granular cell tumour (epulis) is a rare benign tumour occurring in gingiva of neonates, of unknown histogenesis, predominantly occurring in girls. It can cause feeding and respiratory difficulty. We describe a case of a newborn male baby born with swelling in the gingiva of anterior segment of upper jaw. The lesion was excised, with baby doing well at follow up.

Review Of The Literature

Nodular fasciitis is a rare disease, and its diagnosis is difficult. We present a case report of a seven-year-old child with progredient swelling of the left pectoralis muscle three weeks after trauma. After histopathological diagnosis, we performed complete resection. Normally, a conservative approach with regular follow-up is regarded as appropriate since nodular fasciitis does have the capability to regress spontaneously. Since recent publications indicate the possibility of malignant transformation, the complete primary resection also has to be discussed as therapy of choice.

Introduction: Dentigerous cyst is the most common odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. Treatment modalities normally include enucleation or marsupialization of the cyst. However, currently there are no standard assessment criteria to dictate which kind of treatment for certain cases. The purpose of this report is to describe the successful outcome of conservative surgical management of a large dentigerous cyst associated with an unerupted right maxillary permanent canine in an 8-year-old boy. The cyst was enucleated partially but leaving the cystic lining surrounding the unerupted canine in order to preserve the tooth. 3-year follow up revealed good healing with significant root formation and tooth eruption.

Term Management

Topical corticosteroids are currently recommended only for short-term management of flares of lichen sclerosus, with efficacy in halting disease progression. Given the chronic nature of this condition, there is a lack of literature surrounding the chronic effects of topical corticosteroids on the male genitalia with many dermatologists avoiding prescribing long term. This case report aims to provide anecdotal observation for the long-term use of topical corticosteroids and details the long-term follow-up of an individual who used potent and superpotent topical corticosteroids for over 25 years without significant demonstrable side effects. A short review on relevant literature is provided.

Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome

Background Microvascular manifestations of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome in the kidneys include acute renal failure, thrombotic microangiopathy and hypertension. Therapy has been largely empiric. Case report A 49-year-old Chinese man presented with anuric acute renal failure without abundant proteinuria and heavy haematuria, but markedly low levels of urinary sodium, potassium and chlorine upon admission. On day 1 of hospitalization, his thrombocytopenia, anaemia and renal failure showed rapid progression. The presence of lupus anticoagulant and vascular ischaemia of the small vessels in renal arteriography were also observed. Anticoagulants, continuous renal replacement therapy, glucocorticoids and six sessions of plasma exchange were started. After the fourth plasma exchange (on day 20), his urine output increased and began to normalize. On day 25, haemodialysis was stopped and his general condition gradually improved. A renal biopsy was subsequently performed, and the histopathological diagnosis was thrombotic microangiopathy due to antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. A further 3-year follow-up showed that his haemoglobin level, platelet count and serum creatinine were within the normal range, with stable blood pressure. Conclusion Treatment modalities such as anticoagulation, immunosuppression and plasma exchange are likely to be necessary when severe acute renal failure combined with thrombotic microangiopathy present in nephropathy of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.

AbstractChondroid syringoma or mixed tumour of the skin is a rare benign tumour which can present on the face. We present here the case of a patient who underwent an excisional biopsy of a small painless nodule in the soft triangle of the nose for cosmetic reasons. The clinical presentation, histology and treatment, with review of the relevant literature, is discussed.

Objectives: To describe the features of an oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal myxoma.Materials and methods: Case report of a 34-year-old patient operated upon for a dual-location tumour, and review of the literature.Results: The myxoma is a rare tumour. Various head and neck locations have been described, but not (to our knowledge) a tumour in both the oropharynx and the hypopharynx. Multiple synchronous locations must be searched for, particularly regarding cardiac myxoma.Conclusion: The myxoma is a rare, benign tumour, even rarer in the head and neck. Surgical treatment must be complete in order to avoid recurrences, and should be performed after assessment for cardiac involvement.

Background. Malignant melanomas of the female reproductive system are rare. These are biologically highly aggressive tumors with poor prognosis. Preoperative establishment of the diagnosis is practically impossible. Therapeutic approach and treatment of patients with metastatic ovarian melanoma are highly dependent on precise histological analysis. Case report. A woman aged 48 was admitted to the clinic for occasional pains in the lower abdomen and suspected myomatous changes of the uterus. The patient underwent surgery for melanoma on her right arm five years ago. Classic hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy with infracolic omentectomy and selective iliac lymphadenectomy were performed. Macroscopic examination revealed an oval tumefaction on the left ovary sized 12.5 x 10 x 3.5 cm of solid structure. Tumor tissue was yellowish-brown colored, of solid structure and mostly localized subcortically with central edema. Microscopic examination showed positive reaction for HMB-45, anti-Melan-A and S-100 protein, but negative immunoreactivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors. Malignant disease caused death after a 4-year follow-up period following gynecological operation. Conclusion. The previous diagnosis of skin melanoma is also indicative of metastatic ovarian tumor, while immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the histopathological diagnosis.
