Abstract Background Pineal region tumors are commonly present in the pediatric age group. However, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is very rare at this region, and only few case reports have been reported till now in literature. Case presentation Here, we report a rare case of pineal region, juxta-thalamic, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) in an 11-year-old male child. The child presented with severe headache after which MRI was done. It was suggestive of pineal region low-grade tumor. The patient was operated in Parkbench position with SCIT (supracerebellar approach) in a retractor-free manner. Gross total resection was done. However, the patient developed postoperative left-sided hemiparesis. It got improved in 1 month, and the patient became ambulatory. Histopathology came out as pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma. Conclusion Surgical management should include careful resection near the internal capsule to avoid postoperative hemiparesis. Also, shunt should be delayed in the cystic cavity created by resection of tumor.

Gonadal dysgerminomas developed in two girls, aged 12 and 15 years. Both were initially treated with conservative unilateral gonadectomy. Forty-six, XY gonadal dysgenesis was not suspected in either patient due to the normal appearance of the contralateral gonads and internal female genital organs. One died of a second germ cell malignancy which developed in the contralateral ovary 9½ years later. The diagnosis of 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis was established by karyotype in both patients. Although conservative surgical management is desirable for nulliparous women with unilateral dysgerminomas, the presence of 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis should be suspected in all premenarchal girls with ovarian germ cell malignancies. If karyotyping reveals the presence of an Y chromosome, bilateral gonadectomy is indicated because of the risk that another neoplasm may develop in the contralateral ovary.

Pectoralis major rupture is uncommon. Injury usually occurs from sporting activities. The incidence and management of pectoralis major rupture is not well known, despite 74 case reports in the English language literature over the past 34 years. Two cases of chronic pectoralis ruptures and their successful surgical management are described. A review of the literature shows that most injuries occur at the humeral insertion, and most are complete ruptures. Distinguishing between complete and partial ruptures is important. Complete ruptures are best treated surgically in the acute situation. When chronic complete ruptures present, surgical repair yields fair to good results. Acute partial ruptures can be effectively managed conservatively or with surgery. Chronic partial ruptures can be managed surgically with good results, following unsatisfactory conservative management in the acute situation.

Calcium hydroxide is used as an intracanal medicament in endodontics as it reduces intracanal microbial load and exudate discharge from infected teeth. Reports have shown that extrusion of calcium hydroxide periapically leads to an increased incidence of swelling, delayed periapical healing, nerve paraesthesia and other complications. Teeth with immature apex or those undergoing apical resorption are prone to higher chances of periapical medicament extrusion, especially under high pressure delivery systems. This case report discusses nonsurgical management of periapically extruded non-setting calcium hydroxide by an innovative technique which is less invasive and comfortable both for the clinician and the patient. Calcium hydroxide is widely used as an intracanal medicament for the treatment of pulpal and periapical diseases.1 The intracanal placement of calcium hydroxide can be done with a lentulospiral or a syringe-based delivery system.2 If extruded periapically, there is an increased incidence of swelling, delayed periapical healing, nerve paraesthesia and other complications.3 Case reports in the past have suggested surgical management of periapically extruded calcium hydroxide. The purpose of this case report is to discuss an orthograde nonsurgical management of periapically extruded calcium hydroxide based intracanal medicament containing barium sulphate during endodontic treatment.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) is a rare benign bone tumor that occurs most frequently in the craniofacial bones of children and young adults. There are few case reports that describe its involvement outside the craniofacial skeleton, especially within the spinal column. While JOF is classified as a benign lesion, it may be locally aggressive and demonstrate a high propensity for recurrence, even after resection. Definitive surgical management may be challenging in naive cases, but it is particularly challenging in recurrent cases and when extensive spinal reconstruction is warranted. In this report, the authors describe the diagnosis and surgical management of a 29-year-old man who presented with a large recurrent sacral trabecular-subtype JOF. A review of literature regarding JOFs, management of recurrent primary spinal tumors, and sacral reconstruction are discussed.
