Acro-osteolysis is a bone resorption reaction that progresses slowly in the distal phalanx of the hand and foot and is associated with various diseases. It can be classified as idiopathic or secondary. Although the mechanism of acro-osteolysis has not been fully elucidated, the chronic ischemic injury appears to have a significant effect, and bone metabolism dysregulation due to the accompanying calcinosis or peripheral neuropathy also appears to contribute. Acro-osteolysis can show various clinical and radiological features, and differential diagnosis of the underlying etiology is essential. It is a rare sporadic disease worldwide, and the authors experienced a patient with acro-osteolysis suspected of idiopathic cause in a black woman, so we report this case with literature reviews.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterised by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveolar air spaces. Diagnosis depends on histopathological and radiological features. Treatment includes whole lung lavage (WLL) and GM-CSF therapy. We present a case report of primary idiopathic PAP treated with bilateral whole lung lavage. A 50 year old female presented with history of progressive breathlessness and recurrent lower respiratory tract infection. There were bilateral basal ne crepitations on auscultation and she was maintaining saturation of 70% at room air. Serial chest radiographs showed persistent bilateral alveolar opacities. HRCT thorax showed crazy paving pattern involving both lungs. BAL uid showed lipoproteinaceous material which was PAS stain positive. Patient was subsequently treated with bilateral WLLfollowing which there was radiological and clinical improvement

Papillary cystadenocarcinoma is a very rare slow growing malignant neoplasm characterized by cysts and intraluminal papillary projections. It is defined by WHO as a separate entity. On FNA, cytological features can mimic with various papillary and cystic neoplasms of salivary gland. It is also difficult to distinguish from benign salivary gland neoplasms as it has bland nuclear features. Thus we present cytomorphological features and discuss its differential diagnosis with neoplasms having prominent papillary architecture with review of literature.

Lesions around the urethral meatus in women are common. The differential diagnosis for these lesions is extensive and includes urethral caruncle, urethral prolapse, urethral diverticulum, periurethral gland abscesses and, of most concern, urethral carcinoma. Non-invasive squamous lesions of the urethra are rare and their clinical significance is uncertain. We present a case of a urethral squamous papilloma at the urethral meatus in a premenopausal woman causing significant symptoms.

Calcific myonecrosis is characterized by central liquefaction and peripheral calcification involving the entire muscle mass and is considered to be a late sequel of compartment syndrome. Being a rare presentation, considering differential diagnosis is important. Diagnosis is based on history of trauma and typical radiological features. Symptomatic patients require complete excision of the mass while asymptomatic patients can be treated nonoperatively.

ABSTRACT Asymmetrical swelling of the mandible in adolescence may pose a significant diagnostic dilemma. The differential diagnosis ranges from traumatic, infectious, and metabolic processes to benign and malignant tumors. Also may present with similar clinical and radiological features, making an accurate diagnosis quite difficult. This is an illustrative case involving a 30-year-old female who initially presented with complaint of pain and swelling in the lower left side of the face for 2 months. Multiple investigations and several biopsies were required to arrive at a diagnosis. This paper deals with a case report of a fibrosarcoma involving the mandible highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment planning.

Chronic peripheral lymphadenopathy is indicative of pathology of which tuberculosis is the commonest. Isolated inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis is a rare finding. Presented is a healthy looking 16 year old human immunodeficiency virus seronegative male with recurrent isolated tuberculous left inguinal lymphadenopathy. Physicians are requested to consider tuberculosis as differential diagnosis of inguinal lymphadenopathy and to subject same to histological evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment.
