Abstract Background Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a malignant tumour composed of an osteoid and/or cartilaginous matrix; it arises in soft tissues without connection to the skeleton, and to our knowledge, this type of tumour is extremely rare. Case presentation The present study reports a 57-year-old man with primary orbital extraskeletal osteosarcoma who presented with a history of painful swelling in the left orbit that had occurred for 11 months. Imaging of the orbit showed an atypical, well-defined heterogeneous mass attached to the posterior globe of the left orbit. The patient underwent an anterior orbitotomy and complete excision of the tumour. The mass was originated from neither the globe nor the bony orbital wall but from the soft tissue. Histopathology demonstrated an extraskeletal osteosarcoma. After 13 months of follow-up, there was apparent recurrence of the tumour. The medical history showed no complaints of previous trauma or radiotherapy. Conclusions ESOS is a highly malignant tumour. Immunosuppression, trauma and adjuvant radiotherapy are possible predisposing factors in the development of this tumour. Prompt recognition and thorough treatment are essential for preventing orbital lesions and presence of metastasis from other organs.

Objective: To present a case of penile paraffinoma reconstructed with scrotal flap. Case presentation: We report a case of 33-year-old male patient with penile paraffinoma. The patient had a history of injecting liquid paraffin into his penis two times – at 6 months and 2 months prior to his admission to the hospital. His IIEF-5 was 10 (moderate erectile dysfunction). The penile shaft was circumferentially enlarged. There was ulceration on the ventral aspect with signs of inflammation on the surrounding skin. Discussion: We perform a complete excision of paraffinoma. The raw surface was repaired with a one-stage scrotal flap. At six-month follow up, the wound was good, and the patient was able to micturate normally. He was able to achieve painless erection, and IIEF-5 score was improved. Conclusion: A one-stage scrotal flap may offer a good choice in defect closure in penile paraffinoma reconstruction.

Abstract BackgroundCapillary hemangiomas of the central nervous system are exceedingly rare. These are benign tumour-like lesions that usually occur in the skin and soft tissues of mainly children. We report the case of an extra-axial capillary hemangioma mimicking a tentorial meningioma.Case presentationA 46-year old female patient presented with headaches. Imaging revealed an avidly enhancing tentorial lesion with a wide dural base, features suggestive of a meningioma. Intra-operatively, an extra-axial heavily vascular tumour was found and was radically resected en bloc. Histology revealed thin-walled capillary-sized vessels arranged in closely packed lobules, and a diagnosis of capillary hemangioma was made. At one year follow up, the patient was asymptomatic and no tumour recurrence was noted.ConclusionsA literature review showed that capillary hemangiomas may be misdiagnosed as other extra-axial dural-based lesions such as meningiomas, schwannomas, hemangiopericytomas and inflammatory granulomatous lesions. Diagnosis should be considered especially in radiologically atypical cases. Complete excision is curative. Stereotactic radiosurgery on its own or in conjunction with surgery also achieves good results while partial excision or biopsy alone often leads to recurrence.

Abstract Background Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy, which produces osteoid, bone, or chondroid material and is located in the soft tissue without attachment to skeletal bones and periosteum. One of the things that ESOS originated from mesentery is much rarer. Case presentation A 75-year female had a history of pain in the left lower abdomen for more than 4 months. Abdominal computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large, irregular, and solid-cystic mass (largest diameter was 11.5 cm). The tumor was radically removed during an open operation. It was composed of abundant osteoid and polyhedral-shaped tumor cells with high atypia and high mitotic activity microscopically. The final pathological diagnosis was osteoblastic osteosarcoma, arising from the sigmoid mesocolon with negative margins. A 9-month follow-up by CT exhibited signs of peritoneal metastasis. Conclusions Given the rarity of cases of mesenteric ESOS, diagnosis mainly depended on pathology findings or should be taken into consideration when the mesenteric mass was found. Its most effective treatment had not been determined, with surgical excision being generally accepted. Ensuring negative surgical margins may be an important factor affecting prognosis.

A submandibular sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva. The clinical and radiologic features of 3 patients with an idiopathic submandibular sialocele are presented. All 3 patients were males in their twenties. Submandibular sialocele presents as a soft cystic and compressible neck mass, with no history of previous trauma or diseases of the salivary gland. Computed tomography (CT) of the neck revealed a homogenous lesion with enhancing rim. The lesion appeared to be insinuating into the surrounding tissue. Excision of the sialocele, leaving the submandibular gland intact, was performed for the first patient. Recurrence of a neck mass occurred after 4 months. Complete excision of the sialocele with associated submandibular gland was subsequently performed. There was no recurrence after a follow-up period of 3 years. Excision of gland and sialocele was performed for the other 2 patients. There was no recurrence after a follow-up of 2 years and 10 months, respectively.

Abstract Background Angiomyolipomas are rare mesenchymal tumours arising from the perivascular epithelioid cells consisting of variable amounts of adipose, thick-walled blood vessels and smooth muscle cells. These benign tumours commonly occur in the kidney with only a few case reports of adrenal angiomyolipomas which have the potential to reach a large size and haemorrhage. Case presentation A 45-year-old lady presented with a 3-week history of right loin pain, nausea and vomiting. A CT scan revealed a right adrenal angiomyolipoma measuring 6.3 × 6.8 cm with associated haemorrhage. The lesion was successfully treated with right open adrenalectomy, and histology confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal angiomyolipoma. The patient remained well with no evidence of recurrence at the 36-month follow-up. Conclusion Adrenal angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumours that have the ability to reach a large size and potential to bleed. Here, we report the second case of spontaneous haemorrhage in an adrenal angiomyolipoma, which was successfully treated with open adrenalectomy.

Abstract Background The natural course of a vortex vein varix, though not well understood, has been known to remain stable. However, here we report a novel case of a vortex vein varix that resolved after an extended period of monitoring. Case presentation An asymptomatic 96-year-old Caucasian man was found to have a vortex vein varix. At his previous examination 13 months prior, his fundus was normal. At 13 months of observation, his vortex vein varix become clinically undetectable. Further follow-up confirmed continued absence of the varix. Conclusion This case demonstrates the development then clinical resolution of a vortex vein varix with no clear identifiable factors for its evolution. This case is novel and offers new insight into the natural history of some vortex vein varices, implicating venous congestion as an instigator and venous collateralization as its alleviator, suggesting that vortex vein varices are likely more common than previously reported since some may be temporary and under-identified.

Introduction: Uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA syndrome) is a rare female urogenital malformation and delay in its diagnosis could lead to several complications. Case presentation: A 21-year-old virgin woman was admitted to the emergency department (ED) with severe abdominal pain, without fever and vaginal discharge. She reported a history of cyclic abdominopelvic pain and dysmenorrhea for 5 years. The primary diagnosis (OHVIRA syndrome) was made using ultrasonography, spiral computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, laparoscopy was performed to confirm diagnosis and drain hematosalpinx. Then, hysteroscopy was carried out for septum resection and catheter insertion. At one-month follow-up the ultrasonography showed normal left hemicavity of uterus associated with significant decrease in dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Being aware of OHVIRA syndrome and clinical suspicion of this rare anomaly are essential for making a timely diagnosis, preventing complications, relieving symptoms, and preserving future fertility.

We report a rare case of an extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the frontal sinus with an indolent clinical presentation. Although a history of trauma was absent, the initial diagnosis was a mucocele, based on the radiological findings. Upon surgical excision, the patient was found to have an EMP. EMP, a form of solitary plasmacytoma, has a significantly high rate of conversion to multiple myeloma. This mandates long-term follow-up, even after successful radiotherapy and/or resection. While radiation therapy is generally considered a first line treatment for EMP, surgical intervention may provide optimal treatment in complicated cases. This case presentation highlights the prognosis of patients diagnosed with EMP.

Abstract Background: Primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS) and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN) are common diseases of nervous system, with similar pathogenesis and treatment strategies. Coexistent of such disease, especially coexistent of TN-HFS-GN simultaneously, is very rare. To date, only nine cases have been reported.Case Presentation: A 70-year-old male with a history of hypertension and diabetes complained of severe involuntary contraction for about 10 years, knife-like and lighting-like pain, which was restricted to the distribution of the second and third branches of trigeminal nerve and pharynx and root of tongue, for about 2 years. Coexistent of TN HFS and GN was diagnosed and MVD was carried out. After MVD, the patient completely free from symptoms and no recurrence and hypoesthesia were recorded in 18 months follow up.Conclusion: Here we report the tenth and oldest male patient with coexistent of TN-HFS-GN. Despite limited reports, MVD is the preferred choice for such diseases which can free patients from spasm and neuralgia.

Aim: To evaluate the outcome of various reconstructive procedures in scalp defects. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery & Burns, LUMHS Jamshoro from 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2020. Methodology: Thirty patients of scalp wounds were admitted through outpatient and casualty departments. The patients were diagnosed by pre-operative workup and on clinical parameters were included. The patients unfit for general anaesthesia, patients having associated skin pathology, patients with history of allergic reactions and patients having any poorly controlled systemic co-morbidity like diabetes and hypertension were excluded. Results: Twenty two (73.33%) were males and 8 (26.66%) were females with mean age of 38.98±8.25 years. Scalp defect was due to trauma in46.66%, electric injury 23.33%, benign lesions 16.66%, malignant tumour 3.33%, Infection 3.33%, haemangioma and pigmented nevus 3.33%. Follow up duration was 42.34±7.83 weeks. Conclusion: Primary closure remained the mainstay of our treatments hence proved that simplest reconstruction should be used whenever possible to provide the most functional and aesthetic scalp reconstruction, with the least amount of complexity.
