<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma is a very rare tumour of intermittent malignancy of vascular origin, having a tendency to recur with rare incidence of metastasis. The tumour is intermediate between haemangioma and angiosarcoma, mainly affecting liver, lung as well as bones, skin, penis, ovary, scalp, or any part of the body. Internet search was made with the key words epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma and epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma of Larynx, since now only single case has been reported from larynx involving subglottis. Hence we report this rare entity with involvement of the larynx (Sub site: Rt. Aryepiglottic fold) describing clinical and histopathological characteristic. This is perhaps the first case of epitheloid hemangio-endothelioma involving aryepiglottic fold.</span></p>

Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders with amyloid material deposit in the extracellular compartment of the body as fibrillary protein which may be generalized or localized. Primary amyloidosis of urinary bladder is rare and large lesion measuring more than 8x8cm2 in size is not known. Majority, clinically presents with painless haematuria and irritative voiding symptoms which may confused with diagnosis of bladder carcinoma. Definitive diagnosis is made on histopathogical examination of tissue removed through cystoscopy or biopsy and after special staining. It diagnosis should alert physician to arrange for referral or appropriate investigations. Medical ttreatment using colchicine or dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) has been reported in the literature with good results. However, the majority of cases are still managed by transurethral resections of lesion. To our knowledge, this is first case of giant amyloidosis of urinary bladder managed by segmental cystectomy.

AbstractAcardiac twin pregnancy is a rare complication of monochorionic twinning caused by aterioarterial and venovenous placental anastomosis, leading to circulatory predominance of one twin (1). The donor “pump’ twin provides circulation for itself as well as and for the recipient acardiac twin. The acardiac twin is usually grossly abnormal with severe reduction anamolies of the upper part of the body. We present a case of acephalus acardiac anomaly diagnosed by ultrasound, with subsequent post delivery followup.

Hamartomas are considered a mixture of nonneoplastic tissue, which may be indigenous to a different location in the body. As such, they may be epithelial, mesenchymal, or mixed. In the sinonasal region, the following hamartomatous lesions are considered to lie on a spectrum and include respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH), chondro-osseous respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (COREAH), and nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH). To our knowledge, less than 50 cases of sinonasal hamartomas have been reported in the English literature so far with NCMH being very rare and primarily a tumor in infancy, with only 2 cases reported in individuals older than 16 years of age. We report a highly unusual case of a NCMH in the right maxillary sinus of a 70-year-old female.

Maggots are dipterous larvae of flies. Infestation of vertebrate animals (including humans) by maggots is termed as Myiasis. Warm and Humid climate, low socio-economic status, lack of knowledge and poor living conditions, malignant wounds predispose the cancer patients to maggot infestation in India. Apart from infestation in the wounds; oral, ophthalmic, nasal, aural, enteric, urogenital, trachea-pulmonary and rectal myiasis have been reported. Maggot infestation of the Intercostal drain (ICD) container without associated pleural myiasis is an extremely rare entity. We describe a rare case report of maggots in the ICD in a patient with metastatic chondrosarcoma femur with ICD in situ for malignant pleural effusion. Early detection and management are the keys to prevent the catastrophic complication of pleural myiasis.

Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.
