Introduction: Winging of scapula is defined as a failure of dynamic stabilizing structures that anchor the scapula to the chest wall, leading to prominence of the medial border of scapula. It could be primary, secondary, or voluntary. Primary winging could be true winging due to neuromuscular causes or pseudo-winging due to osseous or soft-tissue masses. A scapular osteochondroma is a very rare presentation site and causes pseudo-winging leading to pushing away of the scapula away from the chest wall presenting as medial border prominence. Here, we are reporting a rare case of a scapular osteochondroma causing a pseudo-winging of the scapula. Case Report: A 2-year-old male child presented with painless, immobile, and non-fluctuant swelling over the left scapular region, insidious in onset and progressive in nature. On examination, a non-tender, immobile swelling was palpable with a painless and unrestricted range of motion at the shoulder joint. After evaluating radiographs and CT scan, the patient was diagnosed to have a ventral scapular osteochondroma leading to pseudo-winging of the scapula. Conclusion: Despite the rarity, a differential diagnosis of a scapular osteochondroma should be kept in mind while examining a young child presenting with a winged scapula. Keywords: Scapula, osteochondroma, pseudo-winging.

Latar belakang: tuberkulosis pada saluran nafas atas sangat jarang dijumpai dan biasanya disertai dengan penyakit paru primer. Dengan kemajuan pengobatan tuberkulosis saat ini, infeksi mycobacterium pada tonsil dan nasofaring jarang dijumpai. Limfadenopati servikal merupakan simptom yang sering terjadi, dan seharusnya didiagnosis banding dengan suatu massa di kepala dan leher. Tujuan: untuk menambah pengetahuan dalam mendiagnosis dan menangani tuberkulosis tonsil dan nasofaring yang jarang dijumpai. Kasus: Seorang anak laki-laki 14 tahun dikonsulkan dengan masa dileher bilateral disertai disfagia, demam dan malaise selama satu bulan. Penatalaksanaan: Pasien awalnya kami diagnosis banding sebagai suatu massa di kepala leher. Setelah ditegakkan diagnosis sebagai tuberkulosistonsil dan nasofaring disertai limfadenopati servikal dan tuberkulosis milier, diberikan terapi dengan anti tuberkulosis dan diperoleh hasil yang baik. Kesimpulan: Tuberkulosis sebaiknya dimasukkan sebagai diagnosis banding suatu massa di kepala dan leher terutama jika gambaran klinis dan pencitraan yang dijumpai tidak khas, sementara itu biopsi dan gambaran mikrobiologi selalu harus dipertimbangkan. Kata kunci: tuberkulosis nasofaring, tonsil, millier, limfadenopati. ABSTRACTBackground: Tuberculosis (TB) of the upper aerodigestive tract is rare and is usually associated with primary pulmonary disease. With recent advances in medical treatment of tuberculosis, mycobacterial infection of the nasopharynx and tonsil becomes very rare. The most common presenting symptom is cervical lymphadenopathy, so TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses of the head and neck. Purpose: To remind Otolaryngologists about the diagnosis and management of nasopharyngeal and tonsillar tuberculosis, which become rare case nowadays. Case: A 14-year-old boy was consulted with bilateral neck masses, disphagia, fever and malaise for one month. Case Management: At first we made a differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses of the head and neck. After he was diagnosed as nasopharyngeal and tonsilar tuberculosis with cervical lymphadenopathy and millier tuberculosis, the patient was treated with anti tuberculosis medication and the result was  good. Conclusion: TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses of the head and neck, particularly when the imaging findings and clinical presentation are atypical, at which point appropriate biopsies and microbiologic studies should be conducted. Keyword : Nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, tonsilar tuberculosis, cervical lymphadenopathy, milliertuberculosis

Rare Presentation

The coexistence of epidermal cysts and lipomas at the same site is extremely rare, although epidermal cysts and lipomas are both common benign skin tumors. We present a rare case of an epidermal cyst with underlying lipoma on the back. This case report may simply be a result of coincidence, but the possibility of underlying subcutaneous tumors should be considered before epidermal cyst surgery.

Demyelinating Disorders

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are autoimmune demyelinating disorders of the peripheral and central nervous systems, respectively. The co-occurrence of these 2 conditions is rare in the literature. Herein, we present a rare case of GBS and MS in a 19-year-old female who presented initially with GBS followed by MS, and we provide a literature review. Despite being rare, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients with atypical and usual presentation of both diseases.

Uncommon Tumor

Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

Abstract Background We reported the case of a two-old-year boy with a painful acute hemorrhagic edema. This is a self-limited benign condition: usually, affected children are well appearing and this strongly support the diagnosis. In the opposite, in our case, we observed a painful presentation of the edema. Therefore, we demonstrated that rarely, this condition could have also a painful presentation. Conclusions This case report helps clinician to know that also acute hemorrhagic edema could have a painful presentation, so we must considered it in the differential diagnosis with sepsis, sickle cell crisis and child abuse. We believe that these findings will be of interest to pediatricians.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Second Primary Tumour

Leiomyosarcomas are soft tissue tumours that rarely occur in the larynx. This case report describes the presentation and management of a 77-year-old man referred to the otolaryngology clinic with hoarseness who was found to have a large supraglottic leiomyosarcoma after panendoscopy and biopsies. He subsequently underwent laryngectomy for treatment of this tumour but, unexpectedly, the histological analysis of the laryngectomy specimen revealed a second primary tumour in the larynx—a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The patient had further treatment with neck radiotherapy. Three years after treatment, there are no signs of recurrence of either tumour. This case report discusses the very few similar cases of leiomyosarcoma coexisting with SCC in the larynx, collating the evidence surrounding the treatment of this rare presentation.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. Here, we report a case of 64 year old male patient with PG on midline of the dorsum of the posterior third of the tongue. Its differential diagnosis, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis and about the new approaches for its treatment is discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10619Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 84-86
