Introduction: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is an uncommon benign tumor accounts for <2% of all benign and <1% all bone tumors. It is a cartilage tumor with myxoid and fibrous elements. Because of rarity and resemblance with other benign and malignant tumor, diagnosis of this tumor always remains challenging. Often, this lesion affects metaphysis of long growing bones of children and young adults. Common locations of this tumor are around the growth plate of proximal tibia and fibula and distal femur. Case Report: A 21-year-old male presented to orthopedic outpatient department with a history of the left hip pain for 1 year, following a trivial fall before 1 year. The patient was not able to do heavy strenuous activities such as running, jumping, and other sports activities. Terminal range of movements were painful. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested of cystic lesion involving synovial lining near head-and-neck junction of the left femur. Curettage of the lesion was done. The bone defect was not found to be large enough to be filled with bone graft. Histopathological examination showed lobular pattern with stellate to spindle-shaped cells on the myxoid background. Conclusion: CMF of subcapital region of femoral neck is an extremely unusual presentation. When occurring in middle-aged persons and in uncommon locations, this can raise suspicion of chondrosarcoma. Although intralesional curettage has the risk of recurrence in post-operative period, sufficient and careful curettage and excision of lesion will be enough to treat these benign lesions with good prognosis. Keywords: Chondromyxoid fibroma, intracapsular, benign tumor.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

AbstractBackground: Known also as Osler’s triad, Austrian syndrome is a complex pathology which consists of pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis, all caused by the haematogenous dissemination of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The multivalvular lesions are responsible for a severe and potential lethal outcome.Case report: The case of a 51-year-old female patient, with a past medical history of splenectomy, is presented. She developed bronchopneumonia, acute meningitis and infective endocarditis as a result of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and subsequently developed multiple organ dysfunction syndromes which led to a fatal outcome. Bacteriological tests did not reveal the etiological agent. The histopathological examination showed a severe multivalvular endocarditis, while a PCR based molecular analysis from formalin fixed valvular tissue identified Streptococcus pneumoniae as the etiologic agent.Conclusions: The presented case shows a rare syndrome with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Following the broad-spectrum treatment and intensive therapeutic support, the patient made unfavourable progress which raised differential diagnosis problems. In this case, the post-mortem diagnosis demonstrated multiple valvular lesions occurred as a result of endocarditis.

Significance: Perifoveal exudative vascular anomalous complex (PEVAC) is a unique clinical lesion. It manifests as isolated lesions and is easily misdiagnosed. Thus far, few PEVAC case reports have been published. PEVAC is typically inconsistent with other reported macular lesions.Purpose: To report our 24-month follow-up experience on the treatment of PEVAC with a micropulse laser (MPL).Case Report: A 56-year-old Chinese woman with no history of other diseases complained of decreased vision in her left eye that had persisted for more than 1 year. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were performed, including a vision test, slit lamp fundus exam, optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab was ineffective, and bleeding, exudation and visual acuity were not improved. After two rounds of micropulse laser (MPL) treatment, the patient was followed up, and the prognosis was good.Conclusion: PEVAC is very rare, and early diagnosis is important, as the lesions readily cause irreversible damage. Our results indicate that an MPL can be used as an alternative treatment for PEVAC patients.

The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.

Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a demielination disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in response to previous infection or immunizations that occur acute, monofasic. ADEM generally occurs in children and young adults, rarely in middle-aged or elderly. Case report: We present a woman 46 years old with chief complaint of headache since 7 months ago, weakness of both legs, sudden loss of vision in both eyes since 3 days after weakness of both legs. There was no history of infection or previous vaccination. Brain and whole spine MRI were performed. Initial therapy methylprednisolone does not show improvement, then continued with administration of intravenous immunoglobulin. After 6 months, clinical improvements were obtained and no new lesions of the imaging. Conclusion: In this case report it is presented a case of ADEM in adult without a history of infection who recovered after intravenous immunoglobulin. Then that is still the current question, whether ADEM in the adult can be occur without preceded infection history? Keywords: ADEM, adult woman, history of infection.

<p class="abstract">Rhinosporidiosis is an infective chronic granulomatous lesion caused by an organism rhinosporidium seeberi, which is seen endemic in some parts of Asia. This organism is difficult to culture and the diagnosis is based on histopathological examination. This disease is more commonly seen in men, in second to third decade..<strong> </strong>This case report is regarding a case of a 55 years old lady with history of recurrent rhinosporidiosis in nose. The lesion was found to arise from the inferior meatus and was pale smooth  glistening in appearance, insensitive and does not bleed on touch. Site of origin of the polyp and the appearance was atypical of that of rhinosporidiosis. Patient was subjected for endoscopic excision and cauterisation of the base of the lesion and sent for histopathological examination .Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis.</p>

Case summary A 2-year-old neutered female Scottish Fold cat was presented with an 8-week history of progressive back pain, paraparesis and decrease of postural reactions in both pelvic limbs. MRI showed spinal cord compression from both ventral sides, which originated from the T4 vertebral body and pedicle. The lesion compressing the spinal cord had a bone-like density on CT, and endoscopic surgery was performed to excise it. Histopathological examination of the resected tissue showed no evidence of malignancy and the lesion was diagnosed as vertebral hypertrophy. After surgery, the neurological status of the cat gradually improved. The cat was ambulant at the follow-up evaluation 2 weeks after surgery. Six months later, hindlimb paresis had improved considerably, and no recurrence was observed on CT. Relevance and novel information This is the first description of thoracic vertebral canal stenosis due to hypertrophy of a single vertebra in a young cat. Excision of the hypertrophic vertebra by endoscopic surgery is less invasive than open surgery and may give a good prognosis.
