Craniopagus Parasiticus is a very rare type of parasitic twinning. It has an incidence of only 4-6/10,00,000 births. Most of the babies with Craniopagus Parasiticus are still born with only few cases which survived after postpartum surgical separation. In Craniopagus Parasiticus the head of one of the twins is parasitic and protrudes from the head of the normal twin with an undeveloped or underdeveloped body. The skulls of the twins are fused but the body of one of the twins is not developed. The developed twin is known as the auto site while the undeveloped twin is the parasite. Age of the mother or certain nutritional factors have been implicated in the etiology of this type of twinning. This is a rare case report of a female baby with a parasitic craniopagus delivered vaginally at this district hospital. The patient was a fourth gravida 28 year old. There was antenatal polyhydramnios. The patient delivered preterm a still born female baby with a parasitic co-twin. In this case the heads of the twins were fused in temporal and parietal areas while the body of the parasitic twin was completely undeveloped. It was a morphologically female baby with rudimentary labia. The causes of Craniopagus Parasiticus are still not known. Scientists and researchers are continuing work to determine these and also to improve the prognosis and chances of post-surgical survival of these twins. Till present day however there have been only limited number of studies on Craniopagus Parasiticus owing to the rarity of the cases.

Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.

Plexiform Neurofibromatosis

Abstract Plexiform neurofibromatosis, also known as pachydermatocele, is a rare type of neurofibromatosis, caused by excessive growth of the neural tissue in the subcutaneous fat. This condition is rare in Indian subcontinent but when it occurs, it causes cosmetic as well as functional disability. The optimal management of plexiform neurofibroma is not well defined and surgery is often delayed. We report a rare case of neurofibromatosis with pachydermatocele involving the nerves of the left thigh and leg with disfigurement and associated disability.

Tumors located in the maxillofacial part of the body were classified by WHO in 2017 and among these are intraosseous form of fibromatosis known as Desmoplastic and Cemento-ossifying fibromas. These tumors usually occur in the head and neck region, especially in the mandible and are relatively rare in the maxilla. Meanwhile, this study aims to discribe a rare case of the cemento ossifying fibroma that had been previously diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma with a mass tumor in the anterior of the maxilla. A 22 years old female reported to the Cipto Mangkusumo Hospital with the main complaint of a lump in the right side of the upper jaw which appeared 2 years prior to the operation. In April 2017, the patient had a biopsy in Tarakan Hospital and the result was a desmoplastic fibroma. Due to the lump enlargement, the patient was admitted to RSCM in July 2019 and had biopsy incision with a diagnosis of cemento ossifying fibroma which was confirmed by the histopathological examination and histology report. The resection of the right part of maxilla was conducted alongside with reconstruction using the free fibular flap. Moreover, cemento ossifying fibroma and desmoplastic fibroma shared similar features, namely, clinical, histological and radiological features which are important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of patient. Hence, extensive enucleation or resection is required due to the progressive nature of the tumor to prevent the potential for further recurrences.

<p>Human cysticercosis is a common tropical disease which is caused by Cysticercus cellulosae, larvae of a tapeworm, Taenia solium. Cysticercosis can involve any tissue in the body; the most common affected sites are central nervous system, subcutaneous tissue, eyes, and muscles. Extensive intramuscular Cysticercosis without any other systemic involvement is a very rare finding. Here, we report a case of intramuscular Cysticercosis incidentally diagnosed by plain radiographs in a 51 year-old man who presented with osteoarthritis right knee joint and Cysticercosis was an incidental finding.</p>

<p class="abstract">Nasolabial cysts are rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue developmental cysts occur in the maxillary lip and nasal alar regions. Patients usually presents with an asymptomatic soft swelling with obliteration of the nasolabial fold. Due to it's origin from entrapped epithelium in an embryonic fusion plane developmentally, this cyst is considered to be a Hamartoma. Hamartomas are non-neoplastic malformations, or inborn errors of tissue development. They are characterized by an abnormal mixture of tissues indigenous to that area of the body. Complete surgical excision is the accepted method of treatment. This report aimed to present a case of nasolabial cyst hamartoma, which is rare in presentation.</p>

Intracranial Epidermoid

Intracranial epidermoid tumor is rare and intraventricular epidermoid is further rare. Occurrence of epidermoids is common in posterior carnial fossa. Fourth ventricle is relatively common site for intraventricular epidermoid. Epidermoid tumor in lateral ventricle is very rare. Such a tumor presenting with severe progressive coarse tremor and weakness in opposite side of the body probably had never been reported. The epidermoid was removed by endoscope assisted microsurgical technique. Post operatively patient recovered from tremor limbs weakness. Here we report a very rare case of lateral intraventricular epidermoid with tremor and weakness in opposite limbs as well as surgical techniques with short review of related literatures.J MEDICINE January 2016; 17 (1) : 46-50

Leiomyosarcoma of the kidney is a rare type of adult renal sarcoma. Here, we presented a case of a 68-year-old female who had a past history of bilateral renal calculi 3 years back with hydronephrotic changes, now presented to the OPD with complaints of abdominal pain for the past few months. On further evaluation, a heterogeneously enhancing necrotic mass was identified in the right kidney measuring 7.5 cm in the greatest dimension. A right radical nephrectomy with left Double J stenting was done. From histopathological and immunohistochemical staining, it was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma.

Hydatid disease is common in the tropics. It is caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus tapeworm. Infestation of humans, who are accidentally the intermediate host, occurs from ingestion of water or food contaminated by fecal material of definitive host (dog, wolves, deer, sheeps). The most frequent organ of involvement is the liver in up to 70%, followed by the lung about 18% and with a lower reported incidence in other organs or tissues in the body. It primarily affects the liver and shows typical imaging findings. However clinical presentation varies widely and is non specific. Thus, imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of hydatid diseases. Ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can depict hydatid disease. The imaging methods used depend on involved organ and the radiological findings which range from purely cystic lesions to completely solid appearance. We report a very rare case of a calcified huge hydatid cyst in a 42 year old patient to buttress the role of imaging in management of such cases.
