First Report

Pott’s puffy tumour is a rare clinical entity in this era of antibiotics. It is usually seen as a complication of frontal sinusitis. This is the first report of Pott’s puffy tumour presenting as a complication of maxillary sinusitis. This is also the first reported case of Pott’s puffy tumour treated with debridement and gentamicin beads. We discuss the clinical presentation and successful treatment of this rare disease.

Uncommon Disease

Pseudomyxomaperitonei (PMP) is a rare disease characterized by presence of gelatinous ascites and mucinous implants on the peritoneum and omentum. We report the case of a 58 years old woman with primary tumour of the appendix and secondary involvement of other structures & organs of abdominal cavity. Aim of this case report is to create awareness among the clinicians regarding this uncommon disease presented with ascites and irregular masses in the abdomen. In addition, literature on the clinical presentation, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options has been briefly reviewed.Pulse Vol.10 January-December 2017 p.47-51

Primary osteogenic sarcoma of the breast is a rare clinical entity with few cases described in the literature. Unfortunately, the prognosis for these patients is poor when compared to invasive carcinomas of the breast. We report a case of a 58-year-old female who developed a primary osteogenic sarcoma of the breast five years after being treated for invasive carcinoma of the ipsilateral breast without the use of radiotherapy.

Thymic Cysts

Thymic cysts are usually diagnosed accidentally during radiological evaluation of the chest for unrelated conditions. Symptoms appear late when the mass compresses on adjoining tissues. We report an unusual case of asymptomatic mediastinal thymic cyst which was seen in the neck whenever the patient was asked to perform Valsalva maneuver. This case is being reported for the unusual clinical presentation of a rare disease. The role of imaging in the diagnosis and common differential diagnoses are also discussed.

Frozen Section Diagnosis

ABSTRACTIntraparenchymal schwannomas arising in the brainstem are very rare, and only eight cases have been reported in literature till now. We report an intraparenchymal brainstem schwannoma presenting with the classical clinical presentation of an intrinsic brainstem lesion, and discuss its clinicoradiological characteristics and histological origins. We highlight the importance of an intraoperative frozen section diagnosis in such cases. Intraoperative tissue diagnosis significantly may alter the surgical strategy, which should be aimed at near total intracapsular decompression of the schwannoma.

Insight Into

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a cutaneous disorder that consists of recurrent crops of pruritic, sterile, papulopustules in a follicular distribution. In pediatric patients, EPF presents primarily in the scalp and is confused with several other more common dermatoses in children. The diagnosis of EPF rests on its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of papulo-pustular disorders, the recognition of the clinical presentation, and the presence of an eosinophilic infiltrate on biopsy. Treatment with midpotency topical coticosteroids has thus far met with modest success. This is the first report on EPF in the pediatric literature. As pediatricians become more aware of EPF as a distinct clinical entity and as our clinical experience and insight into the pathogenesis of EPF grows, perhaps more effective treatment modalities will be devised.

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a distinct non-malignant clinicopathological entity involving both nodal and extranodal tissue. Its clinical presentation can mimick other benign and malignant lesions. We report a lady presented with sinonasal mass suspicious of malignancy. Various investigation modalities were employed to achieve the diagnosis. She was managed conservatively and remained well. This report serves to highlight such rare clinical entity which follows a significantly different natural course than malignant disease despite sharing similar initial presentation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 04 October’18.

Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are rare intracranial vascular malformations, consisting of communications between dural venous arteries and sinuses, meningeal veins, cortical veins, or combinations thereof. In most cases the etiology is unknown. The clinical presentation is determined by the location and mainly by the drainage pattern. The recognition of this rare clinical entity is essential for an early diagnosis and intervention, to avoid the potentially serious complications of the disease, such as, intracranial hypertension, vascular dementia, hemorrhage, among others.

Choanal polyps almost always appear as solitary growths and most commonly arise from the maxillary sinus. Sphenochoanal and ethmoidochoanal polyps are extremely rare. Co-existence of more than one choanal polyp is even more infrequent. We present a patient with an antrochoanal and an accompanying sphenochoanal polyp for the first time in the literature. We discuss the clinical presentation, pathogenesis and surgical management of this rare clinical entity.

ABSTRACT Vaginal leiomyoma is a rare clinical entity with varied clinical presentation. Symptomatology ranges from being asymptomatic to symptoms like dyspareunia, pressure symptoms and discharge per vaginum. These leiomyomas if situated in lower half of vagina may mimic vaginal cysts or uterine prolapse and in upper half of vagina may be confused with bladder malignancy. Surgical excision followed by histopathology is the management for establishing the diagnosis and ruling out malignancy. How to cite this article Singh R, Yadav P, Kaur H.
