Background: To revisit the nomenclature, prevalence, histogenesis and the diagnostic dilemmas in cases of cholecystitis with lymphoid hyperplasia received in a private laboratory in one-year duration.Methods: A total of 51 cases of cholecystectomy were examined histopathologically to identify and review all the cases with emphasis on cholecystitis with marked lymphoid infiltration.Results: Out of 51 cholecystectomy specimens, some rare entities were observed such as 4 cases (8%) of xanthomatous change, 2 cases (4%) of cholecystitis with follicular lymphoid hyperplasia and a case of hyalinizing cholecystitis.Conclusions: The literature on cholecystitis with marked lymphoid infiltrate (with or without follicle formation) was overlapping and thus confusing. The same has been simplified with review of literature.

A Prospective Study

Introduction Ranula is a pseudocyst in the floor of the mouth originating from the sublingual salivary gland.A variety of surgical procedures have been quoted in the literature. But the main concern is high rate of recurrence. Aim of the present study is to describe a definitive technique for managing ranula and compare the result with review of literature. Materials and Methods A prospective study was done in the department of ENT in a tertiary care hospital of West Bengal from 1st April, 2014 to 31st March, 2019. Patients presenting with ranula irrespective of age and sex; size of the mass; whether primary or recurrent case were included in the study. Patients presenting with congenital and plunging ranula were excluded. Patients were treated with total excision of ranula along with sublingual salivary gland. Patients were followed up regularly for at least one year post-operatively. Results We treated thirteen primary and four recurrent cases of ranula. Among them eight were male and nine were female. Patients were from seven to thirty three years of age with most being in the second decade of life. There was no injury to lingual nerve or submandibular duct in any patient. We did not observe any recurrence till date. Conclusion Successful management of a ranula includes identification of the extent of the cyst and removal of the cyst along with the sublingual salivary gland.  When done meticulously, this technique gives 100% success without any complication.

Osteoma is a benign, slowly growing, asymptomatic, bone-forming tumor arising from cancellous or compact bone. Osteoma usually is a solitary lesion, but in patients with Gardner’s Syndrome it may be multiple. osteoma may rarely have a parosteal localization. Parosteal osteoma has peculiar radiographic, histologic and clinical features. We describe a case report of a 51- years old man with a bifocal parosteal osteoma of the femur in a non-syndromic patient. This is the first described patient with a bifocal lesion. In literature only 24 cases of paraosteal osteoma are found. Our patient underwent surgery and the lesions were fully excised. At one year follow-up there was no evidence of recurrence.

AbstractObjectives:To study and review the short- and long-term effects of intranasal steroids on obstructive adenoids.Methods:In this prospective cohort study, 19 children previously treated with mometasone furoate for 3 months were contacted at 3, 6 and 12 months after cessation of treatment. Main outcome measures included: change in severity of nasal obstruction, allergic rhinitis and obstructive symptoms. A systematic review of literature was also performed.Results:By one year, 25 per cent of patients required adenoidectomy; the remaining children had no significant change in clinical score (p = 0.464), obstruction severity (p = 0.191) or allergic symptoms (p = 0.284). Fourteen pertinent studies were identified; all but one study showed improvement in the patients’ symptoms and/or degree of obstruction. Two studies with follow up reaching 25 months showed positive effects.Conclusion:The short-term positive effect of some intranasal steroids on obstructive adenoids seems to persist in a significant number of patients after the cessation of treatment.

The NCCT neck showed 3.08×2.28 cm homogenous calcified mass in left tonsillar fossa. The stone was removed and tonsillectomy was performed. Giant tonsillolith is a rare clinical entity. As per available literature, 54 cases of giant tonsilloliths have been reported and to the best of our knowledge, this is one of the largest tonsillolith in the world till date. </p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Tonsillolith, Oral cavity<strong></strong>

Introduction: Acquired adrenal insufficiency is a known risk of unilateral adrenalectomy. However, the rates of early and prolonged adrenal insufficiency following unilateral adrenalectomy are not well defined in the literature. Patients and Methods: We reviewed a case series of 184 consecutive patients to determine the likelihood of steroid supplementation at 30 days and 1 year following adrenalectomy. 109 lesions were non-functional and 75 (41%) demonstrated functionality, including 33 pheochromocytomas, 20 cortisol-producing adenomas, 19 aldosteronomas, and 3 cases of cortisol-secreting hyperplasia. No patients with a nonfunctional lesion, pheochromocytoma, or aldosteronoma required steroid supplementation following surgery. Eleven of 23 patients (48%) with primary adrenal Cushing syndrome required cortisol supplementation at 30 days, and only 1 patient (4%) necessitated supplementation one year following surgery. Discussion: Approximately 50% of patients with cortisol-producing lesions in the adrenal gland will require supplementation 30-days following surgery. Only 4% will require persistent exogenous steroids at 1-year. Conversely, less than 1% of patients with different types of functional or non-functional tumors required supplementation after surgery. Conclusion: The incidence of adrenal insufficiency following unilateral adrenalectomy is low. A large majority of patients requiring steroid supplementation 30 days following surgery are able to wean off this requirement by 1 year. With this information, we can better counsel our patients and set clearer expectations for the potential need of cortisol supplementation following adrenalectomy

AbstractA 60 year old woman presented in gynecology department with bleeding per vagina and subsequently histotpathologically, it was diagnosed as malignant melanoma of the vagina. She underwent excision biopsy. On metastatic work-up, Positron emission tomography (PET) scan proved that she had distant metastasis and received palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with temozolamide. She is alive after one year.

A 22-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis (MG) presented with ptosis and mild muscle weakness symptoms for one year. Computed tomography (CT) presented a diffuse bilobulate enlargement gland with a high density of soft tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the gland with no suppression on the opposed-phase chemical shift. After the thymic tumor diagnosis, she underwent thoracoscopic surgery for tumor resection. The postoperative histopathological finding was thymic lymphoid hyperplasia. This case suggests chemical shift MRI is not enough in distinguishing, and supplementary examination is essential to avoid unnecessary thymic biopsy and surgery.
