Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a rare disease of neuromuscular junction which typically presents with fatigable weakness of cranial and limb muscles. But patient may present with vague symptoms which may mislead physicians to an incorrect diagnosis. We are reporting a 45 year old cobbler presented with the complaints of lack of energy, aching pain in shoulder, back, upper arm and difficulty in swallowing of both solid and liquid food without any diurnal variation for two and half years. He was ultimately diagnosed as a case of MG and thymectomy revealed thymoma. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v13i1.10087 JOM 2012; 13(1): 109-114

Abstract Keratosis lichenoides chronica represents a distinct entity, a rare disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, with clinical manifestations which, although typical, require extensive differential diagnosis. The course of the disease is chronic, progressive, and it is resistant to various treatment options, so despite variations in the clinical picture it is really easier to diagnose than to treat. This is a case report of a male patient in whom the diagnosis of keratosis lichenoides chronica was based on typical clinical picture, repeated biopsies and histopathological findings, course of the disease and poor response to any therapy.

Congenital bronchobiliary fistula (CBBF) is a rare disease. Children with CBBF mostly have atypical clinical manifestations that can be easily missed. We report a case of a child with CBBF who was diagnosed with fistulography with the help of an endobronchial blocker and a fiberoptic bronchoscope. The CBBF was successfully removed by thoracoscopic surgery.

Cherubism is an autosomal dominant, very rare benign fibro-osseous lesion, with an estimation of only 300 cases have been reported worldwide. Cherubism is characterized clinically by bilateral symmetrical self-limiting jaw enlargement starts in the childhood or early teens.Mandible is mostly affected although maxilla and zygomatic bones may be involved but to a lower extent), and is associated with tooth displacement and severe malocclusion. Histopathologically, it is indistinguishable from giant cell lesions therefore the clinical manifestations of the disease remain the Gold Stone.

Abstract Gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma remains relatively rare,accounting for only 1% of gastric tumors,since the use of c-kit staining was first described in 1998 to differentiate gastrointestinal stromal tumors.In this case report,we described the clinical manifestations,endoscopic features, and pathological immunohistochemical features of the gastric leiomyosarcoma.We found that endoscopic ultrasonography has great value in the diagnosis of gastric leiomyosarcoma,and that minimally invasive endoscopic treatment is safe and effective.Particularly,this case highlights that the early-stage lesions can be treated with minimally invasive endoscopic treatment with good tolerance and satisfactory clinical results.Endoscopic submucosal dissection is thus effective for treating gastric leiomyosarcoma,with promising prospects for clinical application.
