Primary leptomeningeal histiocytic sarcoma in a patient with a good outcome: a case report and review of the literature

Histiocytic sarcoma is very rare malignant neoplasm showing morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of histiocyte. Morphologic diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping histologic features with diverse mimics. Histologic diagnosis is confirmed by expression of one or more histiocytic markers, including CD163, CD68, and lysozyme. We present a bona fida case of extranodal histiocytic sarcoma involving the small intestine in a 67-year-old male. The diagnosis is confirmed by diffuse immunoreactivity of CD163, which is believed to be more specific histiocytic marker than CD68.

AbstractObjective:To report an unusual case of fungal mastoiditis caused by entomophthorales in an immunocompetent patient, and its management.Method:Case report with a review of the literature.Case report:A 13-year-old girl presented to us with a mastoid abscess. Entomophthoromycotic infection of the mastoid was diagnosed on histopathological examination, and subsequently treated with surgical debridement and amphotericin B injection.Conclusion:This is the first reported case of mastoid abscess secondary to entomophthoromycosis. Early detection and treatment contributed to this patient's good outcome.

The Right

To the best of our knowledge, the case presented here is among the rare cases of simultaneous shoulder dislocation and ipsilateral pallet humeral fracture, and we discuss its mechanism and best management. We report a case of a 26-year-old male patient with a history of dislocation of the right shoulder 2 months prior to trauma, managed conservatively with a good outcome. The patient fell from a height of 2 m, which caused concomitant shoulder dislocation and ipsilateral humeral fracture, prompting him to undergo surgery. First, the shoulder dislocation was reduced, and second, a V-shaped olecranon osteotomy was performed. The fracture was then fixed using two compressing plates followed by adequate rehabilitation, which led to a good outcome. This rare combination, if it occurs, requires urgent management to save the functional prognosis of the limb.
