Abstract Background Venous air embolism (VAE) is a well-known entity in the field of neuroanesthesia, with established surgeries and positions where its occurrence is high. The insular cortex is a deep area within the lateral sulcus, and surgeries in this area are not reported to develop VAE. Case presentation A young male being operated on the insular cortex developed VAE, had cardiac arrest, was revived, and was extubated with no residual deficit due to the untoward event. Conclusions An anesthesiologist should always be prepared for this complication due to its rapid presentation and fatal consequences.

Background: Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that occurs most often in long bones, with the head and neck region being rarely affected, accounting for less than 1% of all cancers in this region. Objective: To report a rare case of a large-extension osteosarcoma with emphasis on its clinical and diagnostic aspects. Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presenting an intraoral exophytic lesion with involvement of other maxillofacial structures, such as nostril, zygoma and orbit. Despite the initial clinical diagnosis of actinomycosis, an incisional biopsy confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of osteosarcoma, showing a wide morphological variety. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of clinical and histopathological findings for the correct diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Moreover, it shows that, although surgical resection is the primary treatment for this neoplasia, depending on the extent of the tumor and its proximity to vital anatomical structures, the most appropriate conduct is not always feasible.

Abstract Background Mucosal nodules can be caused by infection, inflammation and neoplastic disease. Many noninfectious diseases, such as eosinophilia, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, Wegener’s granuloma, langerhans cell histiocytosis etc., are associated with the formation of multisytem mucosal nodules, especially significant bronchial lesions. Detailed medical history, comprehensive metabolic profile, biopsy specimen and imaging examinations are required for differentiating among these disorders. The process of diagnosis and treatment of our patient’s mucosal nodules was challenging, which could be helpful to similar cases. Case presentation We represent a case of a 29-year-old woman with plentiful nodules of unknown origin on extensive mucous membranes. Biopsy specimen reports inflammatory lesions with large numbers of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and varying degrees of eosinophils. Treatment of anti-infection, anti-tussive and anti-allergic was ineffective, but glucocorticoid showed great improvement to her symptoms. Conclusion We experienced a rare case with plentiful nodules of unknown origin on extensive mucous membranes. She may be a specific phenotype of eosinophilia or may be a novel multisystem disease with respiratory system as the primary symptom. The diagnosis of our patient remains unclear, but tentative glucocorticoid therapy was beneficial.

In this article we report one case of lipoma of the penis in a twenty three years old young male. This site of lipoma is rare. A case of a young male patient who consulted for removal of a penile lump is presented. The small, regular, wellcircumscribed pedunculated tumor localized on the ventral aspect of the penis was excised. The histopathological analysis showed a benign lipoma. A review of the literature showed lipoma of the penis to be very uncommon. For this reason, we were prompted to report this case.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v3i1.15003 Bangladesh Journal of Plastic Surgery 2012, 3(1): 24-25

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Bureger’s disease) is a vascular disease characterized by a segmental, non-atherosclerotic inflammation of the small and medium-sized arteries and veins of the distal extremities mostly affecting young male smokers and rarely females. Only a few cases with histologic proof of the disease in females have ever been recorded in literature. We report a rare case of Buerger’s disease in a 55 years old female.
