Serous borderline tumor is a rare entity of peritoneum which can lead to diagnostic dilemma due to its resemblance with reactive lesions of peritoneum and ovarian borderline and malignant neoplasms. Complete clinical details, histopathological evaluation and immunohistochemistry aid in arriving at correct diagnosis. Recognizing this entity is important as it carries good prognosis.

Intracranial germinomas (GE) are malignant neoplasms most commonly found in the suprasellar region, which may cause anterior and particularly posterior pituitary hormone deficits with central diabetes insipidus (DI). Differential diagnosis of pituitary stalk thickening includes granulomatous, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic lesions. Although careful analysis of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings may facilitate the diagnosis, transsphenoidal biopsy is indicated to confirm the disease, as the correct diagnosis directs the appropriate treatment.

Background. Osteoblastoma is a rare benign tumor. This tumor is characterized by osteoid and bone formation with the presence of numerous osteoblasts. The lesion is more frequently seen in long bones and rarely involves maxilla and mandible. Due to its clinical and histological similarity with other bone tumors such as osteoid osteoma and fibro-osseous lesions, osteoblastoma presents a diagnostic dilemma.Case Report. Very few cases of osteoblastomas involving maxillofacial region have been reported in the literature. This case report involves osteoblastoma involving right maxilla in an 18-year-old male patient. Following detailed clinical examination, radiological interpretation, and histopathological diagnosis, surgical excision was performed. The patient was followed up for a period of 3 years and was disease free.Summary and Conclusion. Benign osteoblastoma involving jaw bones is a rare tumor. There is a close resemblance of this tumor with other lesions such as fibro-osseous lesions and odontogenic tumors and thus faces a diagnostic challenge. Surgical excision with a long-term follow-up gives good prognosis to this lesion—Benign Osteoblastoma.

BACKGROUND: Secretory carcinoma of the endometrium, a rare subtype of endometrioid carcinoma morphologically resembles the early secretory phase of endometrium and is almost always well differentiated and carries excellent prognosis. Very few cases of secretory carcinoma have been reported in the literature till date. Case presentation:A 58 yr old obese female presented with post-menopausal bleeding. Ultrasound revealed increased endometrial thickness and endometrial biopsy showed hyperplasia without atypia in secretory transformation. Pathological examination of the hysterectomy specimen revealed features of secretory carcinoma of the endometrium as an incidental nding. CONCLUSION: Secretory carcinoma, a rare subtype of well differentiated endometrial carcinoma carries very good prognosis and morphologically mimics various pathological conditions of endometrium. Hence, this needs to be carefully evaluated morphologically in addition with immunohistochemical markers to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.

Ectopic gall bladder is a rare entity. It can often be misdiagnosed causing diagnostic dilemma leading to various complications. Ultrasonography is the most common investigation for evaluating gall bladder pathologies. However, the confirmation of ectopic gallbladder is not easily possible by this method. On the other hand, hepatobiliary scan (HIDA scan) plays an important role in evaluating the presence and position of ectopic gallbladder. Here we present a case of sonographically suspected ectopic gallbladder confirmed by hepatobiliary scan highlighting the importance of HIDA scan in ectopic gallbladder.Bangladesh J.
