Scrotal calculi are not so common entity in the clinical presentation. Scrotourethral fistula is an abnormal communication between scrotal skin and the urethra, usually result of the inflammation and due to perforation by urethral calculi and sometimes iatrogenic due to surgery done for urethral stone removal or uretheroplasty. We present here a very rare case of young adult gentleman who initially presented with a scrotal swelling, turned out into scrotal calculi while doing surgical excision, later on presented as uretheroscrotal fistula that managed conservatively. After going through the available literature and through the pub med articles (approx 148 articles while searching with titles of ‘scrotal calculi’, ‘scrotourethral fistula’, ‘uretherocutaneous fistula’) we found only 1-2 cases of scrotourethral fistula. A high index of clinical suspicion and examination is needed to diagnose such asymptomatic rare presentation cases.

Teratoma are bizarre tumors of germ cell and are usually present in testis and ovaries and contains structures like hairs, teeth, bone, thyroid tissue or more complex organs. Retroperitoneal occurrence is an uncommon site of presentation. They are usually present in childhood and rarely in adults. Here we are discussing a rare case presentation of middle age female, presented with abdominal fullness and pain which later diagnosed as retroperitoneal teratoma on CT scan. Clinical presentation, workup, surgical management, and outcome is discussed in this study.

ABSTRACT Aims To describe an unusual presentation of myxoid liposarcoma of oropharynx and a brief review of literature. Introduction Liposarcomas of head and neck are very rare. Its treatment and prognosis mainly depends on the site and the histologic pattern of the tumor. Case presentation The present case report describes a 65-year-old male with complaints of dysphagia, dyspnea, and a peculiar complaint of mass in the throat which turned out to be a low-grade myxoid liposarcoma arising from right lateral wall of oropharynx extending intraluminal in the esophagus, compressing posterior wall of trachea. The mass was successfully excised surgically and postoperative period was uneventful and patient was asymptomatic 4 months after surgery. Conclusion Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare tumor in head and neck and surgical excision with adequate margin is the treatment of choice. How to cite this article Mohiyuddin A, Raj S, Merchant S, Arun P.

Primary lymphangiomas or lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsil are rare benign lesions that are described infrequently in the literature. The majority of the published cases concern adults. We report a case of a lymphangiomatous lesion of the right palatine tonsil of a 9-year-old boy. Our clinical suspicion was confirmed by the histological examination after tonsillectomy and the diagnosis of primary lymphangioma of the tonsil was made. In this case we discuss the clinical and histopathological features of this lesion and present a short review of the current literature.

<p class="abstract">Hydatidosis of the psoas is an unusual entity even in countries endemic to hydatid disease. We reported a rare case of hydatid cyst of psoas in a 54 year old man without pathological history. The atypical clinical presentation and the uncharacterizable radiology have demonstrated the essential role of surgery and histological analysis in the management of this type of lesion. The patient underwent a resection of the protruding dome with drainage of the residual cavity  because of the anatomical relationships of this hydatid cyst. Through this case and literature review, we aimed to discuss the diagnostic means, the natural course of the disease, the differential diagnoses as well as the therapeutic options for a hydatid cyst of the psoas.</p>

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma in children, however, RMS is a rare malignancy in adults. Head and neck are the most common site for RMS, while intrabdominal RMS are rare in adults. Case: We present a rare case of a retroperitoneal abdominal mass, treated surgically with histopathology results of a retroperitoneal RMS. We discuss the clinical presentation, image findings, and treatment for this case. Conclusion: Intraabdominal tumours need to be identified quickly and precisely. CT scan or MRI can help clinicians to determine the staging, therefore plans the best treatment for the patient. In our case, surgery and radiotherapy showed promising outcome. The lack of literature and consensus on a standardized approach to systemic treatment and outcome in retroperitoneal pleomorphic RMS in adults makes our case a rare presentation of rhabdomyosarcoma and thus the need for reporting.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare developmental abnormality of lung occuring in 1-4/100000 live births. The mainstay of treatment is usually surgical excision as it can lead to recurrent pneumonias, abscess or malignancy. We here report a rare case of CCAM who presented at one year of age with right sided lung cysts and had favorable outcome as it resolved spontaneously.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors, originally identified in the pleura. Even though they have subsequently been described in several extrapleural sites, the incidence of SFTs in the spermatic cord is particularly rare. Here, we report a case of a 27-year-old male that presented with a 3-year history of left scrotal swelling. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound demonstrated multiple solid, hypoechoic well-circumscribed masses that were separate from the testis. Surgical excision of the mass led to pathologic diagnosis of a solitary fibrous tumor involving the spermatic cord. Solitary fibrous tumors, although rare, are an important differential diagnosis for urogenital tumors.

Abstract Background Epidermal cysts are common skin tumors that are composed of a keratinocytic cyst wall and central keratin material, which can occur anywhere in the body, especially on the face. However, there are no relevant reports of multiple epidermal cysts coexisting at the same location.Case presentation Here, we report one rare case of facial multiple epidermal cysts, who underwent sequential resection of all cysts. A 45-year-old male presented with facial multiple masses for over 2 years. Physical examination showed multiple cysts with varied sizes on the face. All cysts were smooth, dome-shaped, freely movable, and some of them were attached to the skin by a central pore. The histopathology revealed cysts in the dermis, the wall of which were composed of stratified squamous epithelium, and the cavity were filled with keratin. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed as facial multiple epidermal cysts.Conclusions This is the first well-documented case of multiple epidermal cysts on the face. We report this rare case to highlight that although epidermal cysts usually appear single, they may also appear multiple in the same location, especially in those patients with vigorous sebaceous gland function. Surgical excision is the first-line effective treatment for epidermal cysts.
