Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma is an uncommon odontogenic tumor composed of a benign epithelial component and a malignant ectomesenchymal component most frequently seen in the third and fourth decades of life. It mainly presents as a painful maxillary or mandibular swelling. Radiographs show a radiolucent mass with ill-defined borders. Radical surgical excision and long-term follow-up are the suggested treatment. We report the case of a 22-year-old female with a 2-month history of an asymptomatic swelling in her left mandible. Examination revealed an exophytic growth measuring3×3 cm extending from the mandibular left first premolar to the second molar. The patient underwent a left hemimandibular resection. Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic tumor composed of inconspicuous islands of benign odontogenic epithelium and an abundant malignant mesenchymal component with marked cellularity, nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromatism, and moderate mitotic figures with clear margins; one year after the surgical procedure, the patient is clinically and radiologically disease-free.

Ovarian Lesion

MRI is an effective tool for detection of ovarian neoplastic lesions. However, there are no highly specific radiological features that differentiate primary from metastatic ovarian masses. Histological diagnosis preoperatively is not always possible as there is a risk of disseminating an otherwise early stage primary ovarian cancer. The preoperative diagnosis of an ovarian lesion is therefore heavily dependent on the radiological features. The radiologist must rely on a combination of knowing the natural history of any known primary cancer, together with the radiological features such as bilaterality, mucinous appearance, pseudomyxoma as well as the clinical progress of the primary tumour in order to evaluate and predict the likelihood of metastatic disease. Even if a non-ovarian primary cancer is known, an ovarian mass cannot always be assumed to be a secondary lesion. Some tumours, such as BRAC-positive breast cancer, are known to have a high rate of concomitant primary ovarian cancer. Conversely, other tumours, such as gastric and appendiceal cancer, are known to have a high rate of ovarian metastatic disease. However, histology remains the only true way to determine an ovarian metastasis from a primary lesion.

The patient on daily multivitamin supplements, vitamin D (50,000 IU, weekly / 2 months). The patient has lost 4kg since the operation, family history of atopy was positive regarding the mother physical examination shows erythematous papules and vesicles and papulo-vesicles over the neck with crust, chest, and upper back, Based on medical history and clinical presentation a provisional diagnosis was Prurigo Pigmentosa. The patient was prescribed topical mometasone furoate cream (BID for one week). Two -week follow-up showed improvement of the eruption. The course of the disease was shorter than usual in such cases the patient response to treatment was reactive to the topical mometasone without taking the oral minocyline, which major of such cases need in the late course of the disease The patient starts to improve within 2 weeks compared to others who need an average of 6 weeks to improve in such cases

Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic has attracted great attention from the medical world. In the past year, there have been reports of missed or delayed treatments for conditions that mimic COVID-19. The main symptoms caused by SARS-CoV-2, such as fever and cough, belong to different clinical conditions. It is of the utmost importance that the diagnostic thinking used to analyze data and information to reach a COVID-19 diagnosis does not overlook the plethora of different diagnoses related to these symptoms. Case report: The aim of this work is to present the clinical case of a patient having unrecognized HIV infection with a 4-week history of fever, cough, and hypoxia. When tests were allowed to highlight HIV-related immunodeficiency status, a CMV assay was performed in order to evaluate opportunistic pneumonia. Through this, diagnosis of HIV combined with CMV pneumonia was made, thus excluding COVID-19 respiratory insufficiency. Conclusion: The diagnosis of the two conditions in the COVID-19 era is challenging due to overlapping clinical and radiological features and limitations of current diagnostic assays. This causes clinical implications due to diagnostic delays.

On examination patient was having unilateral nasal hypoplasia and cyanosis with echocardiography showing truncus arteriosus. Detail history revealed that mother had valve replacement and she was taking warfarin during pregnancy. After initial management patient was referred to pediatric cardiac surgery and plastic surgery for further management. Parents were counseled regarding contraception and family planning.

Objective: This study was conducted to analyse the clinicopathological and radiological features associated with Synovial lipomatosis.Patients and Methods: Cases diagnosed as Synovial lipomatosis from 2008 to 2018 were retrieved and clinical information and histology were reviewed.Results: Thirteen cases of Synovial lipomatosis were diagnosed between 2008 and 2018. Most common site was knee joint and mean age of presentation was 28.6. About 62% of subjects were males and mostly presented with joint pain and swelling. Two of the subjects had significant history of trauma and disease was bilateral in one of the cases. Microscopically, villous proliferation of synovium with infiltration of mature adipocytes was noted. Focal synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory infiltrate were other findings in some of the cases.Conclusion: Synovial lipomatosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of joint pain and swelling and should be distinguished from Pigmented villonodular synovitis, Synovial haemangioma and intra-articular synovial lipoma (IASL) using radiological and histological features.

Congenital facial palsy is a very rare entity with an incidence of 2 per 1000 live births. It can be congenital, traumatic associated with birth trauma in the form of forceps delivery or developmental. We present the case of a 1-year-old girl who presented to the eye department of our tertiary care hospital with a deviation of face to the right side since birth along with watering of left eye and difficulty in taking feeds. There was a history of forceps-assisted vaginal delivery; a provisional diagnosis of congenital facial palsy was done with the probable cause of trauma.

The history of the last 50 years (1970–2020) of technological changes and progresses for equipment and procedures in dental and maxillofacial radiology is related from the insider perspective of an industrial physicist and technologist who has been instrumental at innovating and developing medical equipment in different parts of the world. The onset and improvement of all major categories of dental and maxillofacial radiographic equipment is presented, from the standpoint of their practical acceptance and impact among common dentists and maxillofacial radiologists: X-ray sources and detectors for intraoral radiography, and panoramic systems, both film-based and digital (including photo-stimulated phosphor plates); and cone beam CT.
