Disease Case

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign proliferative histiocytic disorder characterised by massive lymphadenopathy. While extranodal involvement can occur in generalised RDD, isolated soft tissue RDD (STRDD) is extremely rare. We report a 17-year-old male patient who presented to the maxillofacial outpatient department of the Sultan Qaboos Hospital, Salalah, Oman, in 2015 with a painless cheek mass which had been slowly growing over the previous two months. Routine histopathological examinations and immunohistochemistry confirmed a diagnosis of STRDD. Currently, surgical excision is considered to be the most effective curative treatment for STRDD, as the outcomes of other treatment modalities are still unknown. Despite its rarity, STRDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of histiocytic soft tissue lesions.

Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a well-bordered, slow-growing, benign fibro-osseous disease. Although its localization is generally in the mandible, it can be seen in any area of the craniofacial region. Radiology and histopathology help to diagnose the condition. Treatment is based on close observation and/or surgical excision. In this case, we report the case of a 62-year-old male patient who had a large radiological appearance, cemento-ossifying fibroma in the paranasal sinuses.

We describe an unusual case of an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) associated with an ungrafted left-sided alveolar cleft in a 10-year-old male patient. There is no previous report in the literature of OKC or other dental cysts associated with an alveolar cleft. We discuss the management of the OKC prior to secondary bone grafting and present this case to highlight the difficulty in the management of OKC concurrent with grafting of the alveolar cleft site, the proximity of unerupted permanent teeth, and possible treatment modalities.

A hemophilic pseudotumor is one of the rare complications of hemophilia that results from repetitive bleeding, forming an expanding destructive encapsulated hematoma and necrosed tissue. It has a considerable amount of morbidity. These have become rare over the years with better treatment modalities like factor replacement. Presently, excision is the preferred treatment by many authors. There are instances where surgical excision is not feasible. In such situations, radiotherapy and arterial embolization should be considered either alone or as an adjunct to surgery. A 32 years old male patient, with severe hemophilia A diagnosed with an abdominal tumour 7 years ago during routine screening, that progressively grew to encompass the lower abdominal area. A 44 years old male patient with hemophilia A presented with slow growing swelling over the left gluteal region since, 10 years associated with ulceration and bleeding since, 3 days. The management of a patient with a haemophilic pseudo tumour is complex, with a high rate of potential complications. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice but can only be carried out by a multidisciplinary surgical team. The main postoperative complications are rebleed, infection, fistula and pathological fractures. Pelvic pseudo tumours can even become complicated by fistula formation to the large bowel and by obstruction of the ureters. Untreated pseudo tumours will ultimately destroy soft tissues, erode bone, and may produce neurovascular complications. The hemophilic pseudo tumour is a rare entity which is slow growing painless tumour, with few reports worldwide in the management of this rare complication.

Glomuvenous malformations usually present as soft bluish-purple dermal or subcutaneous papules, nodules or plaques, and can occur as sporadic or inherited lesions. We present the case of a 41-year-old female, referred for evaluation of disseminated bluish lesions developing since puberty. Histopathology was consistent with the diagnosis of glomuvenous malformations. The history of a sister with similar lesions justified a genetic study of the glomulin gene that revealed a pathogenic mutational variant allowing thediagnosis of familial disseminated cutaneous glomuvenous malformations. Whereas surgical management is often used for symptomatic solitary lesions of glomuvenous malformations, other treatment modalities have been reported for treatment of multiple lesions, with variable results. The patient underwent sclerotherapy with polidocanol and there were significant symptomatic and cosmetic improvements after six sessions, with no adverse effects and no recurrence after 6 months.

AbstractKeloids and hypertrophic scars are abnormal scars, produced by an odd wound-healing response to trauma with a higher incidence in pigmented skin patients. They could be painful or itchy, producing functional and/or cosmetic disability. This chapter focuses on defining scars especially in pigmented skin and the different methods for treating keloids that have been investigated in the literature. Up to the present time, the ideal treatment method has not been defined, although numerous modalities have been designated. We will represent the variances among different scar types and their management methods, concentrating on their indications, modes of action, uses, safety, and efficiency of the following therapies: intralesional steroid, injections of silicone gel/sheet, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, electrical stimulation, surgical excision and adjuvant therapy, and cryosurgery. Combination therapies have also shown some value. Still, there is a shortage of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating such treatment modalities. Management of scar in pigmented (colored) skin is clinically challenging. Therefore, strategic assessment and targeted therapy with focus on deterring recurrence are most needed. The quality of evidence is crucial to select efficient treatments for patients with colored skin, presenting with keloid.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor is a neoplasm of mesenchymal origin with benign and malignant forms. We aimed to present a case of solitary fibrous tumor which developed in a patient operated for laryngeal cancer and originated from diaphragm in the light of the literature. Case report: A 61-year-old male patient with tracheostomy with an undiagnosed lesion that appears to be almost 10 cm was referred to our clinic. Since it was a large volume mass, we chose to perform a thoracotomy over thorachoscopic approach. Discussion: Although solitary fibrous tumors most commonly occur in the pleura but may also originated from diaphragm, and our case is valuable that originates from diaphragmatic since there are less than 5 reported cases in literature for past two decades. Conclusion: Even in the case of recurrence, the main treatment remains as total surgical excision. Solitary fibrous tumors are usually detected because of compression symptoms. That is the main reason why we chose thoracotomy.

Scrotal calcinosis is a benign condition where multiple calcified nodules are found within the dermis of the scrotal skin. It is a rare condition which is usually asymptomatic and has no clear aetiology although several theories have been proposed in the aetiopathogenesis. We report a 55-year-old man with extensive scrotal calcinosis. Surgical excision of the affected scrotal skin was curative.

Hair Regrowth

Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune disorder causing nonscarring patchy hair loss. Alopecia totalis (AT) is a severe variant of AA. Although there are several available treatment modalities for AA, efficacy of most of them is not satisfactory in case of AT. Recently, several case reports and series and small open-label studies have shown efficacy of oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors as treatment for AT. Tofacitinib is one of the JAK inhibitors, which is an approved drug for treatment of rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. In this case report, we have treated a 24-year-old girl who had juvenile chronic arthritis and developed AT. She was treated for 3 years with different modalities without satisfactorily results. We treated her with tofacitinib 5 mg orally twice a day and assessed its efficacy and adverse effects if any. We monitored scalp hair regrowth of the patient using the score of severity of alopecia tool. The patient tolerated the treatment well; hair regrowth started from the 4th week and full regrowth attained by the 9th month of the treatment. No serious adverse effects were noticed. Tofacitinib can potentially be considered as an effective and well-tolerated treatment for AT; however, larger studies are needed to address its long-term efficacy.

Abstract Background Lichenoid drug eruption is rare and can mimic idiopathic lichen planus and other dermatoses. Clonazepam, a commonly used drug for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders and seizures, is known to be an unlikely cause of cutaneous adverse effects. Only one case report of LDE due to clonazepam has been reported. Case presentation A 81-year-old male patient with Alzheimer’s disease developed a lichenoid eruption after taking clonazepam. He developed a violaceous scaly patch on his lower extremities, from both buttocks to the feet. The cutaneous eruption resolved 2 months after cessation of clonazepam and with initiation of corticosteroid therapy. Conclusion A skin eruption that develops after clonazepam administration can be a lichenoid drug eruption, which is less likely to resolve spontaneously and requires discontinuation of clonazepam administration.
