<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt; line-height: normal;">Eruptive syringoma is a rare clinical presentation of a benign tumor of the eccrine ducts. Its usual presentation is small, smooth, skin coloured papules with flattened or rounded tops on the anterior body surfaces including face. It usually affects adult female. Treatment of this benign condition is cosmetic only. Herein, we report an uncommon presentation in a 30 years old female who presented with multiple, asymptomatic, skin coloured papules over face, neck, chest and thighs. Histopathology showed collection of cystic ducts and epithelial cords with comma like tails in dermis confirming a diagnosis of eruptive syringomas. </p>

Vascular Hamartoma

HVH (hepatic vascular hamartoma) is a tumor like malformation arising from the vascular tissue of the liver. HVH has been previously reported in animals and presents distintive features from the most frequent benign tumor like malformation of the liver, the hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH). Herein we report a case of HVH localized in hepatic segment 4b, involving the gastro hepatic ligament, successfully treated with total excision. We describe the anatomo-pathologic findings focusing on the clinical and radiological presentation, the intraoperative characteristics and the differential diagnosis.

Traumatic facial nerve neuroma is rare. There are only 10 reported cases in the literature, caused either by physical trauma or chronic inflammation. Traumatic facial neuromata differ from true facial nerve neoplasms in radiological, macroscopic and microscopic appearance, but clinical presentation is less reliable in differentiating the two. Management depends on the pre-operative grade of facial palsy, as this is a benign condition and surgical management carries a risk of further affecting facial nerve function. We present a further case of traumatic facial nerve neuroma following surgery for cholesteatoma. We also review the literature and discuss the management of this condition.

Rare Location

A schwannoma is a solitary benign tumor composed of Schwann cells occurring anywhere in the peripheral nervous system. The diagnosis of a schwannoma is often difficult to make by clinical presentation and advanced imaging modalities. We present a case report of a 61-year-old Hispanic woman with a left-foot, third-digit, soft-tissue mass. The diagnosis of a schwannoma of the proper digital nerve was made postsurgically by means of histopathologic and immunohistochemistry parameters. This is a rare location for a schwannoma, and neurogenic tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue mass, as there have been prior case reports.

Rare Case Report

Introduction: Schwannoma is the most common benign tumor of the peripheral nerve sheath. They appear in the sheath of the nervous fascicle and are well-defined masses, which allow their dissection of the underlying neural bundle. Sciatic nerve involvement is rare, accounting for less than 1%. Case report: Male, 83. He has had sciatica on the left for 10 months. With progression of pain, VAS of 9 and difficulty to walk for 1 month after admission. On physical examination, a positive tinel sign in the left gluteal region with tactile perception of nodular lesion in sciatic nerve topography. Preserved and discrete hypoesthesia strength in left sciatic nerve territory. MRI shows nodular lesion, suggestive of neural sheath tumor. Undergoing a surgical procedure for excision of the lesion. Total resection of the lesion was performed with no changes in monitoring potential. The patient was discharged from the hospital the next day, with a VAS of 0, with no other complaints and pain control. Discussion: Schwannomas have a long subclinical course, their clinical presentation is usually misleading. The referred patient started with sciatica, with painful progression to VAS 9. The diagnoses of sciatic nerve schwannomas are made with MRI. The definitive diagnosis is possible after the histopathological study. The treatment of this tumor is by massive excision and preservation of the nerve. Conclusion: Studies regarding sciatic nerve Schwannoma are scarce. There is a need for further studies on the case, to train health professionals to recognize and effectively treat the pathology.

Tenosynovial Chondromatosis

ABSTRACT Tenosynovial chondromatosis (TC) is a rare progressive benign tumor from the synovial lining of tendon sheath. The TC mostly affects males between the ages 30 to 50 years old at the ventral side of wrist. There are two different forms of TC that have been proposed in previous studies: an idiopathic cause (primary TC) and a joint related diseases cause (secondary TC). Even though trauma has been written to be a common reason for TC, a case of a secondary TC affecting the dorsal wrist following a triquetrum fracture has never been written before. The aim of this report is to present a rare case of a solitary post-traumatic TC at the dorsal wrist following a triquetrum fracture. We describe the clinical presentation, imaging modalities, histopathological and treatment challenges to manage this difficult lesion.

: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.
