Multiple epidermal cysts over the scrotum is a rare condition and requires surgical intervention if infected or cosmetically unacceptable.  Grossly enlarged cysts require complete excision, followed by scrotoplasty.  We are reporting a case of multiple epidermal cysts on the scrotum.  Complete excision of the cysts followed by scrotoplasty was done in this case.

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.

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

This is a rare case report of a 5-month-old child with a complex spinal dysraphic state, and an accessory limb (tripedus morphology), accessory genitalia, and anal dimple. The child was brought to the hospital with an accessory limb arising from the back. On clinical examination, an accessory limb arising from the lower back with a partially developed foot with the presence of toes and nails was noted. Spinal MRI was advised which revealed dysraphic features including spina bifida with the low lying and posteriorly tethered cord with diastematomyelia along with a supernumerary appendage attached to the vertebral column having rudimentary bones resembling those of extremities. The presence of an accessory limb with spinal dysraphism is quite a rare anomaly. The condition can be treated by surgical intervention and involves excision of the accessory limb with adequate dural and paraspinal muscle cover.

Aplasia cutis congenita is an uncommon localized or widespread congenital skin condition characterized by the absence of the skin, and occasionally underlying tissues occurs in about one every 10.000 birth mostly in the scalp as single or more than one lesion and sometimes occurs in extremities and trunk with an uncertain cause and can be associated with numerous syndromes or can be sporadic which is diagnosed clinically and usually conservatively managed but sometimes surgical intervention needed. In this literature, we present nonsyndromic newborn Malay girl normally delivered with 35 weeks gestational age with triplet skin raw areas at the vertex of the scalp with well-demarcated defect round in shape measured about 0.5 in radius covered with a noninflammatory, necrotic patch. To our knowledge, many works of literatures presented Aplasia cutis congenita at the scalp with solitary single or occasionally more than one skin defect. In contrast, in our case, we present an infrequent rare case of triplet skin defect of aplasia cutis congenita for nonsyndromic newborns.

Crying with bloody tear, called haemolacria is a very rare condition in medical practice. There are many conditions such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, trauma (accidental or induced), factors deficiencies, infections (Epstein Barr virus or bacterial), tumours (malignant melanoma or haemangioma), conjunctival telangiectasia, Rendu-Oslar-Weber disease related to haemolacria. But idiopathic haemolacria may occur in some cases. In our case report, a 17-year-old girl presented with idiopathic bilateral haemolacria and gum bleeding associated with pseudoseizure and psychogenic hyperventilation who was treated and well responded to adequate counselling and Amitriptyline.

Introduction Foreign body ingestion is an ENT emergency frequently encountered in both children and adults. Case Report A case of an open safety pin in the hypopharynx in a fifteen year old boy is reported, which remained impacted there for the past 15 days without any significant symptom or complication. CT scan, performed before surgical intervention, did not show any migration of this foreign body from its intraluminal site. This was removed by ‘Magill forceps technique’. Postoperative period was uneventful. Conclusion Pointed foreign body may present with negligible symptoms and that too may stay in the cricopharynx for long without migration. Magill forceps technique can be a good surgical option in such cases.

Symphalangism is rare congenital disorder characterised by ankylosis of interphalangeal joints of hands and feet. The fusion can involve the proximal or the distal joints; however, involvement of the proximal interphalangeal joints is more common. There may other associated skeletol and non-skeletol abnormalities. Here the author reports a 14 year old girl with symphalangism involving the interphalangeal joints of the thumbs of bilateral hand. She did not have any functional impairment and hence no medical or surgical intervention was performed. As involvement of thumbs is very rare condition, author would like to report it.

Actinomyces israelii is a gram-positive anaerobic organism commonly associated with canaliculitis in adults. Actinomyces are normal commensal bacteria in humans and primarily cause opportunistic infections during immunosuppressive state or when loss of continuity of epithelial lining in mucosa occurs. Lacrimal canaliculitis is a relatively rare condition and is undiagnosed for long periods of time. Being a relatively rare condition, it is commonly overlooked and undiagnosed for long periods of time. Primary chronic canaliculitis is an uncommon problem and Actinomycosis may form in up to 2% of all lacrimal disease. Here present study reports a case of lacrimal canaliculitis caused by Actinomyces israelii.

ABSTRACT Odontogenic fibromyxoma, a myxoma with abundant collagen fibers, is a rare benign tumor of jaw which mostly affects posterior part of mandible. It is ectomesenchymal in origin and probably arises from connective tissue of dental follicle or papilla. Commonly occurs in 2nd or 3rd decade with slight female predilection. Radiological investigations, such as conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to differentiate it from other odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma. Management is surgical by enucleation and curettage or by en bloc resection and segmental maxillectomy. Follow-up of patient is must for at least 2 years to diagnose any recurrence. In this article, we present fibromyxoma of maxilla which is a very rare site for occurrence of fibromyxoma and this relatively rare condition has been discussed in light of recent information from literature with a case report. How to cite this article Kant C, Prajapati VK, Singh V, Tiwari KM. Odontogenic Fibromyxoma of Maxilla: A Rare Case Report. Clin Rhinol An Int J 2015;8(2):84-88.
