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

AbstractHemangioma is a benign neoplasm that may affect the vulva, and it can cause functional or emotional disability. This article reports the case of a 52-year-old female patient with a history of a genital ulcer for the past 3 years and who had undergone various treatments with creams and ointments. The patient was biopsied and diagnosed with vulvar hemangioma and was subsequently submitted to surgical excision of the lesion. We emphasize the importance of following the steps of the differential diagnosis and proceeding with a surgical approach only if necessary.

Intramedullary Schwannoma

Cervical intramedullary schwannomas are extraordinarily rare. Gross total resection is the best therapeutic option for these types of tumors. Although rare, intramedullary schwannomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis of intramedullary lesions since a good prognosis can be guaranteed to the majority of these patients. We present a case of a cervical intramedullary schwannoma surgically treated in a 19-year-old male patient who initially presented with motor neuron disease.

Mental Symptoms

Viral encephalitis is a common clinical condition. Its clinical manifestations are variable and include neurological symptoms and psychiatric abnormalities, which makes clinical diagnosis and treatment difficult. To date, there are only a few reported cases on mental symptoms of chronic viral encephalitis. We present a case of a 16-year-old male patient who was previously hospitalised and diagnosed with schizophrenia and treated with aripiprazole 15 mg/day but failed to respond. The patient was then given antiviral therapy and recovered after 2 weeks. Clinicians should be aware of the possbility that chronic mental disorders could be caused by viral encephalitis. In the future, diagnosis of chronic functional mental disorders should include viral encephalitis in the differential diagnosis.

Thoracic outlet syndrome is characterized by pain, paresthesia, muscle weakness, and arterial/venous symptoms caused by compression of the neurovascular structures. Compression mainly occurs at three distinct areas in the thoracic outlet: the retropectoralis minor space, the costoclavicular space, and the interscalene triangle. As the symptoms of these three compression sites are very similar, it is difficult to pinpoint the location of the compression and the treatment methods are quite different. Ultrasound-guided diagnostic injections play an important role in the differential diagnosis. Herein, we report a 49-year-old female patient who was previously diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and scheduled for decompression of cervical ribs, but cured by conservative methods after being diagnosed with pectoralis minor syndrome.

ABSTRACTObjectives: Common carious lesions owing to vomiting are not widespread in children. In this case, we aimed to report an 11-years-old male patient with common carious lesions due to repeated vomitings, chewing and eating difficulty and retarded growth with Multiple Hereditary Osteochondromatosis (MHO).Case Report: An 11-years-old boy was referred to Department of Pediatric Dentistry in Faculty of Dentistry because of eating difficulty owing to common carious lesions. It was seen that the patient growth was generally retarded in extra-oral examination. Some exostoses were also present on the extremities. It was learned that he was previously diagnosed as MHO in Faculty of Medicine. Nausea and vomiting have been commonly occurring after taking of Didronat. Chewing and eating difficulty and inadequate nutrition were present because of bad oral hygiene, carious lesions and remained roots. Growth was negatively affected by malnutrition and MHO.Results: Diet recommendations were given and oral hygiene behaviors were rearranged. Preventive, surgical, restorative and prosthetical dental applications were applied for dental treatments. (Eur J Dent 2007;1:183-187)

Introduction Nuchal fibroma or collagenosis nuchae is a rare benign tumour. It is a slow growing neoplasia of unknown etiogenesis, asymptomatic and of variegated histology. They are more common in males but our case was a female patient. The presentation may mimic sarcoma at times. Case Report An unusual case of a very large neck mass in a 62 years old female patient is reported. The growth involved the dorso-cervical region over a period of approximately 8  years but remained asymptomatic. The mass was excised and post excision histopathology was reported as nuchal fibroma. Discussion The case reported is large compared to the usual size of nuchal fibroma. Association with diabetes mellitus and Gardner’s syndrome has been reported in literature. MRI is the imaging of choice to establish the differential diagnosis.

At the floor of the  mouth, various types of pathological lesions may arise. Their diagnosis and differentiation are of significant clinical importance due to different course of the disease and treatment methods. This article presents a case of a 17-year-old female patient who has been diagnosed with a dermoid cyst by accident. Differential diagnosis due to a similar morphology of the  lesion involved mainly a ranula. A complete resection of the lesion was performed. Histopathological examination showed a dermoid cyst, which is a rare lesion in this location.

ABSTRACT Objective To emphasize that epiglottic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all adults presenting with stridor. Case report A 55-year-old male patient presented with stridor of 2 days duration. He also had complaints of gradually progressive difficulty in swallowing for solids and had muffled voice for the past 3 months. Oropharyngeal examination revealed a large cystic mass behind the base of tongue. An indirect laryngoscopy and 70° telescopic laryngoscopy showed a large cystic mass filling both vallecular regions obscuring rest of the larynx. He underwent tracheostomy for airway distress followed by excision of the cyst. Conclusion This case highlights the possibility of a rare presentation of epiglottic cyst in an adult presenting with stridor requiring an early definitive management.

Disease Case

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign proliferative histiocytic disorder characterised by massive lymphadenopathy. While extranodal involvement can occur in generalised RDD, isolated soft tissue RDD (STRDD) is extremely rare. We report a 17-year-old male patient who presented to the maxillofacial outpatient department of the Sultan Qaboos Hospital, Salalah, Oman, in 2015 with a painless cheek mass which had been slowly growing over the previous two months. Routine histopathological examinations and immunohistochemistry confirmed a diagnosis of STRDD. Currently, surgical excision is considered to be the most effective curative treatment for STRDD, as the outcomes of other treatment modalities are still unknown. Despite its rarity, STRDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of histiocytic soft tissue lesions.
