Extracranial Meningioma

Abstract Meningiomas are common benign intracranial tumors. However, intracranial meningiomas with extracranial extension are exceedingly rare lesions with only a few reported cases in the literature. We report a case of an 86 years old female patient presented with enlarging mass over left parietal region for last 3 years. Besides cosmetic, she had no complaints. Head CT scan with bone window showed a large tumor consisting of intracranial and extracranial part, suggestive for meningioma. Patient was operated, and both parts of tumor were removed. Taking into account surgery indication and patient’s age, bone flap was returned. The postoperative course was uneventful and patient fully recovered. In the case of epicranial tumor attached to the underlying bone, meningioma should be excluded.

Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is a rare inflammatory disorder of the scalp, affecting elderly patients after local trauma and leading to scarring or cicatricial alopecia. Case Report: An elderly female patient complained of painful pustules on the parietal region bilaterally with progressive enlargement and ulceration. A biopsy suggested erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and the patient was treated with prednisone 40 mg/day and 0.1% topical tacrolimus. After 10 weeks complete closure of the eroded areas was observed and a stable scarring alopecia developed.

Introduction: Infantile endodermal oculomotor nerve cyst (EONC) is an extremely rare entity. There are very few pediatric cases reported in the literature, and as expected, oculomotor palsy is the most common presenting symptom. To date however, the risk of recurrence of these lesions following surgical intervention is unclear due to a lack of long-term radiological follow-up. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 13-month-old male patient with an EONC and detail his surgical fenestration and postoperative course. Somewhat surprisingly, re-expansion occurred within 6 months and remained stable 2 years later. Discussion: A surgical approach to fenestration of an EONC in an infant is possible and should be performed by an expert neurosurgeon. Early recurrence is underreported in the current literature, and we encourage longer term radiological surveillance of these lesions after surgery to optimize primary and recurrent management in the future.

Abstract A 40-year-old female patient presented to our clinic for bilateral nasal obstruction, anteroposterior mucopurulent rhinorrhea, recurrent micro-epistaxis, anosmia, left otodynia, fever and sweating. The ENT findings and CT scan detected a septal tumor with predominant extension in the left nostril, with erosive character of the osteo-cartilaginous septal structure, without sinusal involvement and left lateralcervical adenopathy. Resection of the entire septal tumor formation was performed. The histopathological outcome revealed non-Hodgkin’s small-type NK/T extranodal nasal-type lymphoma – immunohistochemical tests confirmed histogenesis.

Mediastinal lipoma (ML) is a rare entity. Though the mediastinum is the most common site of intrathoracic lipoma, ML constitutes less than 1% of all mediastinal tumours. ML frequently presents on incidental radiographic finding, CT scan is considered the investigation of choice. CT features of lipoma are quite characteristic. They are clinically significant because: (1) Despite their benign nature, these tumours tend to reach an enormous size and can cause compression of lungs and mediastinal structures; (2) It may not always be possible to differentiate a ML from a liposarcoma by CT or MRI alone.

Synovial Sarcomas

Synovial sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors, accounting for 1-2% of adult cancers worldwide. Formation of synovial sarcoma after tissue and nerve injury, radiations induced neuropathies and latent metastasis is those events which are still controversial and need more research. In this report, we present the case of an 18-year-old female patient who developed synovial sarcoma followed by a punch to the face. MRI showed lobulated lesion of 4x3cm appreciated in left parotid space. In spite of Parotidectomy, radiotherapy and radiosurgery followed by MRI and CT-scan latent metastasis was raised in lungs which leads to demise of patient. There are numerous potential etiologic and neurological factors for the development of latent metastasis in synovial sarcoma. Here we will summarize all factors and its complications according to the current literature.

Klinikinis atvejis Pacientė buvo hospitalizuota įtarus ūminį apendicitą. Diagnozė buvo neaiški, todėl ligonė stebėta. Vystantis peritonitui ligonė operuota. Atlikta vidurinė viršutinė laparotomija. Operacijos metu rasta apsisukusi ant pasaitėlio tulžies pūslė, turinti gangrenos požymių. Tulžies pūslės latakas nepakitęs. Tulžies pūslė pašalinta, jos pasaitėlis susiūtas, drenuotas dešinysis pašonkaulis. Laikotarpis po operacijos buvo sklandus.

Case report A female patient presented at the hospital under suspicion of appendicitis. Because of undefined diagnosis the patient was examined. The progress of peritonitis determined her preoperational preparation and surgical intervention. The gallbladder twisted around its axis and gangrened was found during the procedure. The bile duct was found unaltered. Cholecystectomy was performed and the gallbladder pedicle was stitched and the subhepatic gap drenated. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pathistological examination showed acute hemorrhagic infarct in the gallbladder wall. Conclusion Despite an uncommon pathology hard for diagnoses, timely operative intervention provided for the convalescence of the patient. Key words: gallbladder volvulus, cholecystectomy

Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma is a rare malignancy among invasive breast carcinoma. The patients usually present with large tumor size, axillary lymphnode metastasis and triple negative. The management of Metaplastic Breast carcinoma largely parallels that of Invasive Breast Carcinoma. In this case report, we found a case of metaplastic breast carcinoma with axillary lymphnode metastasis which is very rare.

Abstract BACKGROUND non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a systemic cancer that originates from lymphocites. Central nervous system lymphoma is a rare form of non Hodgkin lymphoma that involve brain parenchym and spinal cord. The most common type of nervous system involvement is a leptomeningeal metastases. Whereas brain metastases is an extremely rare finding in NHL. We present a case report of NHL patient which metastasized to brain parenchym. MATERIAL AND METHODS Case report: a fourty two year old male patient suffered from seizure in September 2018, 7 days prior to hospitalized. severe headache and weakness on the left extremities were found in addition to seizure. A single nodule on the right frontal and another nodules on the right neck region were also found since 7 months ago. Patient was diagnosed with NHL in 2017 after a confirmed biopsy of NHL and underwent a chemotherapy procedure, but uncompleted. After head ct scan procedure in September 2018, which depicted a round mass in frontal lobe, patient underwent a complete chemotherapy procedure with CHOP regimen in September 2018. Another head ct scan was performed in January 2019 after a completed chemotherapy cycle which showed significant decrease in tumour size. RESULTS before and after head ct scan showed significant decrease in tumour size, from 4cmx2cm before chemotherapy and 2.5cmx1.3cm after chemotherapy CONCLUSION central nervous system involvement in NHL is a rare condition that carries a poor prognosis. Prophylaxis therapy still on debate about it’s efficacy to prevent this disease from spreading or relapse. Awareness of the possibility central nervous system involvement should always remain in a physician’s mind when dealing with NHL patients.

Dermoid cyst of brain is a rare tumor arising due to embryogenic defect. It comprises only about 0.3% of intracranial tumors. A 18 year old female patient was admitted with complaints of seizures since last 6 months. The brain MRI suggested intra-axial dermoid cyst. The patient was operated & histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of dermoid cyst.
