Melanonychia striata longitudinalis is a pigmented band in the long axis of the nail. The discoloration occured because of increase of melanin in the nail matrix. In most cases, especially in children, melanonychia striata is a benign condition. In this case report a 12-years-old male with melanonychia striata. Longitudinal excision was performed with histopathology examination to rule out malignancy and further management.

Abstract Background We reported the case of a two-old-year boy with a painful acute hemorrhagic edema. This is a self-limited benign condition: usually, affected children are well appearing and this strongly support the diagnosis. In the opposite, in our case, we observed a painful presentation of the edema. Therefore, we demonstrated that rarely, this condition could have also a painful presentation. Conclusions This case report helps clinician to know that also acute hemorrhagic edema could have a painful presentation, so we must considered it in the differential diagnosis with sepsis, sickle cell crisis and child abuse. We believe that these findings will be of interest to pediatricians.

Laryngeal leishmaniasis is an unusual form of the disease. We report the case of a patient who consulted for dysphonia and dysphagia in a context of asthenia and weight loss. The patient had lesions that were suggestive of laryngeal cancer but were revealed to be leishmaniasis by histopathology examination and polymerase chain reaction. Treatment with amphotericin B and miltefosine permitted complete resolution of the lesions and no recurrence during the 18-month follow-up period.

CASE REPORT This article describes a case report with a review of the symptomatology diagnosis, and treatment of thrombophlebitis in the superficial dorsal vein of the penis. Penile Mondor’s disease is a benign condition, and after appropriate therapy, near complete recovery takes place within three weeks. DISCUSSION Thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis (Penile Mondor’s disease) is a rare, but important clinical diagnosis that any physician, and in particular general practitioners, should be able to recognize. Indeed, correct diagnosis and consequent reassurance can help to control the anxiety typically experienced by patients suffering from the disease.

A case of steroid-induced osteoporosis-related multiple fractures and dislocations are described after a seizure is reported. Patient had two years history of steroid use with no supplement or antiresorptive therapy. There was a delay in the diagnosis which affected an otherwise good outcome in such situations. It is recommended that patients on steroid should be given calcium, vitamin D, and an antiresorptive. Furthermore, a meticulous clinical examination is required in patients who are on steroids and suffer epileptic seizures to rule out skeletal injury.

Neurocysticercosis is the most common neuro-parasitosis caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. The most common manifestations include seizures and hydrocephalus. Psychiatric abnormalities are relatively rare but depressive symptoms are frequent in patients with neurocysticercosis. However, mania as a presentation is relatively rare. Pregnancy and the postpartum period are relatively vulnerable times and they can lead to reactivation of existing neurocysterci lesions. We are discussing the case of a 23-year-old female patient with neurocysticercosis leading to the reactivation of lesions in the peripartum and postpartum period leading to bipolar affective disorder. Improvement in the patient was seen with a combination of antipsychotics, antihelmintics, antiepileptics and steroids, along with improved radiological signs of neurocysterci lesions. Although neurocysticercosis is a common illness, its prevalence presenting as a manic episode is merely 2.6% and, hence, missed easily. Therefore, it is important to rule out organic aetiology in patients even with a classic presentation of bipolar affective disorder and those having any other neurological symptoms and signs.

Background: Internal anatomy of maxillary first premolars is particularly multifaceted on account of the variation in number of roots and canal configuration. Maxillary first premolars with 3 roots are called as small molar or “radiculous” because of their similar anatomy to the maxillary first molars. The most demanding step in endodontic treatment is identification and proper access to pulp canals of certain teeth with atypical canal configurations. Methods of identification of such premolars can be by various aides.Case Presentation: The present case describes the application of Cone Beam-Computed Tomography in the diagnosis of extra root with extra canal in a three rooted maxillary right first premolar.Conclusions: Proper knowledge of the anatomical variations is a must for an endodontist to make a treatment successful. Utilizing the latest technology along with the traditional concepts can surely rule out the inaccuracy in the treatment involved in such cases.

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica (ABH) is a benign disorder of the oral cavity. Clinically, oral, blood-filled blisters are seen. To give a proper diagnosis, one should rule out any other cause. We aim to present this case in order to emphasize this rare cause of oral bullae which is necessary to be differentiated from many serious dermatological and hematological disorders.

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

Introduction: This case report describes 3 cases of unsuspected neoplasms in previously blind eyes, with recent onset pain.  Cases and observations: Case 1: Female with pain, redness in the non-seeing right eye (R/E) for  two months. R/E had total cataract, low intraocular pressure and a well-defined globular mass lesion at the posterior pole, seen on ultrasound. Enucleation with an implant was done. Histopathology clinched the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. Case 2: A 20-year male, developed pain, redness in left eye (L/E) for  two months. L/E was blind since childhood, secondary to trauma. The patient underwent enucleation and detailed histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry supported a diagnosis of ependymoma with vascular malformation. Case 3: A 24-year male with pain, redness in L/E for six months, with decrease in size of eyeball. L/E had low vision since childhood. On examination, L/E was phthisical with diffuse conjunctival congestion, band-shaped keratopathy, cataract, and neovascularization of iris. Imaging revealed a small distorted globe with highly reflective mass along the posterior pole. Histopathology of the enucleated specimen confirmed the diagnosis of choroidal osteoma, with gliosis of the adjacent RPE.  Conclusion: In the management of a painful blind eye, it is extremely important to rule out an intraocular malignancy, particularly in patients with recent onset of pain.

Synovial Chondromatosis is a rare and it is a benign condition characterized by multiple cartilaginous nodules in synovial facet spaces. Synovial Chondromatosis affects most commonly the knee joint. This is a case report of a 30-year-old male patient presented with pain and swelling over the left knee joint. On evaluation MRI shows loose bodies, for which he underwent, arthroscopic exploration. Viscous fluid and loose bodies were identified and showed synovial hyperemia. Synovial debridement was done and loose bodies were removed and sent to histopathological examination. The result signify that arthroscopy is efficient method both in diagnostic as well as therapeutic management of synovial chondromatosis.
