Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary cancer of the liver and a major cause of mortality globally. Atypical presentation of HCC can present a diagnostic challenge. We, therefore, present a rare case of hepatocellular carcinoma fungating through the anterior abdominal wall with concomitant lung and brain metastases in a young patient with non-cirrhotic liver but positive chronic hepatitis B serology.

Tropical sprue is an important cause of malabsorption in adults and in children in South Asia. Investigations to exclude specific infective, immunological or inflammatory causes are important before considering tropical sprue as a diagnosis. Malabsorption disorders of the small intestine can be a source of great debilitation to the patient, and a diagnostic challenge to the pathologist. This article presents clinicopathological findings of a non coeliac tropical sprue in a 66–year-old male and discusses the histological and clinical information that can help differentiate coeliac from non coeliac sprue.

ABSTRACT A rare case of sinonasal paraganglioma is described. A 40-year-old female patient presented with 2 years history of unilateral nasal obstruction and bleeding. CT scan demonstrated an expansile enhancing mass involving bilateral ethmoids, right nasal cavity and right maxillary sinus. Histopathological diagnosis was neuroendocrine tumor with possibility of paraganglioma. A subtotal maxillectomy with excision of mass performed. Primary nonchromaffin paraganglioma of nose and paranasal sinus is a very rare tumor, these lesion pose diagnostic challenge to clinicians and pathologist. Only twenty five cases are reported in review of literature. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. How to cite this article Arora V, Verma P, Singh PP, Wadhwa N, Bhatia K.

<p class="abstract">Necrotising fasciitis of the periorbital region is a rare condition where there is destruction of the periorbital soft tissue with potential of rapid spread causing significant morbidity and mortality. It is generally seen in immuno suppressed individuals following trivial trauma. Here we present a case of periorbital necrotising fasciitis in a young immonocompetent lady with emphasis on early identification and aggressive treatment to prevent loss of vision and mortality.</p>
