<p class="abstract">Rhinosporidiosis is an infective chronic granulomatous lesion caused by an organism rhinosporidium seeberi, which is seen endemic in some parts of Asia. This organism is difficult to culture and the diagnosis is based on histopathological examination. This disease is more commonly seen in men, in second to third decade..<strong> </strong>This case report is regarding a case of a 55 years old lady with history of recurrent rhinosporidiosis in nose. The lesion was found to arise from the inferior meatus and was pale smooth  glistening in appearance, insensitive and does not bleed on touch. Site of origin of the polyp and the appearance was atypical of that of rhinosporidiosis. Patient was subjected for endoscopic excision and cauterisation of the base of the lesion and sent for histopathological examination .Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis.</p>

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

AbstractBackground: Known also as Osler’s triad, Austrian syndrome is a complex pathology which consists of pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis, all caused by the haematogenous dissemination of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The multivalvular lesions are responsible for a severe and potential lethal outcome.Case report: The case of a 51-year-old female patient, with a past medical history of splenectomy, is presented. She developed bronchopneumonia, acute meningitis and infective endocarditis as a result of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and subsequently developed multiple organ dysfunction syndromes which led to a fatal outcome. Bacteriological tests did not reveal the etiological agent. The histopathological examination showed a severe multivalvular endocarditis, while a PCR based molecular analysis from formalin fixed valvular tissue identified Streptococcus pneumoniae as the etiologic agent.Conclusions: The presented case shows a rare syndrome with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Following the broad-spectrum treatment and intensive therapeutic support, the patient made unfavourable progress which raised differential diagnosis problems. In this case, the post-mortem diagnosis demonstrated multiple valvular lesions occurred as a result of endocarditis.

The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.

Primary hepatobiliary tumors have low prevalence in dogs and are usually observed in nine to 12-year-old animals. This article reports a case of acute clinical cholangiocarcinoma in a three-year-old Labrador Retriever bitch. The animal had a clinical history of emesis and hyporexia. Physical and laboratory examinations disclosed hyperthermia, jaundice, hypoglycemia, leukocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. Abdominal ultrasound revealed an enlarged liver of heterogeneous echotexture with hyperechoic and hypoechoic irregular areas. The animal developed severe hemolysis and came to die. Necropsy revealed hepatomegaly and irregular appearance of the liver; metastasis were found in the bone marrow, kidneys and spleen, and neoplastic pulmonary embolism was also observed. Cholangiocarcinoma was identified microscopically. The aim of this report was to describe an atypical case of cholangiocarcinoma because of the precocity of its occurrence.

Leishmania, an intracellular protozoan parasite, is endemic, widespread and represents a public health problem in most countries of the Mediterranean basin as it is implicated in a wide spectrum of diseases both in humans and animals. Vaccination of canines remains the best control strategy to counteract the progression of active infection for canine disease in areas of the world where transmission to humans is primarily zoonotic. This case report describes the history of a four-year-old dog vaccinated against canine leishmaniosis that was presented to a private clinic for the onset of a nodular skin lesion. Besides normal haematological and biochemical analyses, the histopathological examination of the removed skin lesion revealed the presence of Leishmania amastigotes. The presence of the protozoa in the skin lesion of a vaccinated dog is discussed.

Lymphangioma is a rare benign proliferative lymphatic lesion that appears in chronic lymphedematous states in a variety of settings. Lymphangioma circumscriptum consists of clinically thin-walled, translucent vesicles appearing in groups most commonly located on the axilla, chest, mouth, and tongue. A 12-year-old male patient had been suffering from itching, pink-red colored, translucent vesicular lesions overlying the anterior axilla since birth. The lesions had slowly grown in size and number over the years. The patient had no history of trauma, or cellulites. The physical examination revealed clusters of pink-red colored vesicles, which released a clear exudate when punctured. The lesion was 50×120 mm in size. The lesion was totally excised and repaired with Z-plasty. Histopathological examination revealed slight epidermal acanthosis and enlarged lymph in the upper dermis, impinging directly onto the epidermis. These lymphatics were lined only by endothelium. The lower dermis and subcutis contained abnormally large muscle-coated vessels containing a proteinaceous fluid. Six months later, there was no recurrence and a cosmetically and functionally acceptable postoperative result was obtained.

We present a case of subcutaneous hyalohyphomycosis due to Acremonium recifei, a species whose habitat is probably the soil, first identified in 1934 by Arêa Leão and Lobo in a case of podal eumycetoma with white-yellowish grains and initially named Cephalosporium recifei. A white immunocompetent female patient from the state of Bahia, Brazil, with a history of traumatic injury to the right hand is reported. The lesion was painless, with edema, inflammation and the presence of fistulae. Seropurulent secretion with the absence of grains was present. Histopathological examination of material stained with hematoxylin-eosin showed hyaline septate hyphae. A culture was positive for Acremonium recifei. Treatment with itraconazole, 200 mg/day, for two months led to a favorable course and cure of the process. We report for the first time in the literature a case of subcutaneous hyalohyphomycosis due to Acremonium recifei in a immunocompetent woman. Treatment with itraconazole 200 mg/day, for two months, resulted in cure.
