Characteristic Features

<p class="abstract">Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare form of leukocytoclastic vasculitis with an unclear pathogenesis. Almost 250 cases of EED have been reported in the literature, associated with several diseases and presented with various clinical features. Term 'diutinum' means chronic, describes one of the main characteristic features. The duration is very long, varying between one to more than 39 years. We report a rare presentation of EED in a 58-years-old man who presented with extensive and symmetrical, persistent, erythematous to violaceous   plaques over trunk and limbs and popular-nodular lesions present over pinna and dorsum of hands with burning sensation and itching over few lesions, in association with IgA monoclonal gammopathy.</p>

Mycosis fungoides is represented as the most common epidermotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which is mainly characterized by the proliferation of atypical cells within the epidermis. We report a rare presentation of mycosis fungoides in a 60-year-old male presenting with chronic psoriasiform plaque involving the face. Punch biopsy of the lesion from the forehead was taken for routine histological examination and immunohistochemical stains. Results of biopsy and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with mycosis fungoides and diagnosed as psoriasiform presentation of mycosis fungoides involving the face.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Tubercular dactylitis is defined as tubercular infection of the metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges. It is a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis. Bones of the hand are more commonly affected than the bones of the feet. Tubercular dactylitis is common in children and children below 6 year of age accounts for 85% of cases. The diagnosis is usually by a combination of clinical suspicion coupled with radiological investigation and confirmation by biopsy. We hereby present a case report of tubercular dactylitis in a 65 year old female which was treated by antitubercular therapy.</span></p>

Rare Malignancy

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.

The Right

Amyand's hernia is a rare form of an inguinal hernia (less than 1% of inguinal hernias) which occurs when the appendix is a part of hernial sac. Because of anatomical position of the appendix, it is most commonly found in the right sided hernial sac and it can also be accompanied by the caecum and/or right colon. In rare case, Amyand’s hernia can appear on the left side also. Here we report a case of left sided amyand’s hernia with acute perforated appendicitis in a 58 years old male patient at GMERS hospital, Dharpur, Patan, Gujarat, India.

Rare Case Report

Association of hypercalcemia with SLE is very rare. Since initial report in 1991 only hand full cases have been described mainly in adult patients sporadically. Three pattern observed in this rare presentation. Commonly it is associated with serositis and lymphadenopathy or lymphedema known as hypercalcemia-lymphadenopathy SLE {HL-SLE) or hypercalcemia- lymphedema syndrome. Second group do not show this particular association. Concomitant primary hyperparathyroidism is responsible for third variety. This report describes a case of hypercalcemia associated with SLE from Bangladesh.

<span>Syphilis is often thought to be a disease of the past, largely eradicated in modern health care; however, the rates are still extremely high in certain populations. The diagnosis of syphilis may be overlooked by primary-care clinicians due to the presence of nonspecific signs and symptoms that may be indistinguishable from other diseases. Left undiagnosed and untreated, life-threatening complications, including hepatitis, stroke, and nervous system damage, may occur particularly in immuno-compromised individuals. We present a case of lues maligna an extremely rare presentation of syphilis.</span>

Linear Psoriasis

Linear psoriasis is a rare form of disease which is very difficult to differentiate from inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus. Sometimes clinical history, physical examination and histopathology analysis may not be sufficient to confirm the diagnosis. We report a case of25 year-old male presented with a linear plaque covered with silvery scales on left upper extremity extending from tip of the index to mid forearm for last 2 years. A skin biopsy was consistent with psoriasis, and the unilateral distribution in a linear pattern led to a diagnosis of linear psoriasis, which is a rare variant of psoriasis. Although histopathologically it can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN), linear psoriasis presents in adulthood and responds to conventional topical antipsoriatic therapies.

Rapunzel syndrome is a rare form of trichobezoar with accumulation of large amounts of hair extending from stomach to variable portion of small intestine. An 18 year old girl was brought to surgery opd with complaints of vomiting on and off since 3 months. Contrast enhanced computed tomography abdomen showed a bezoar extending from stomach into the duodenum and proximal jejunum suggestive of Rapunzel syndrome with 3rd and 4th part of duodenum along with duodenojejunal junction. On laparotomy, a trichobezoar occupying the entire stomach measured 100 cm in length and 700 grams in weight. Since the mass formed in Rapunzel syndrome is generally too large to be removed endoscopically or laparoscopically, it requires removal by open gastrostomy.
