Hamartomas are benign proliferative lesions with no metastatic properties. The hamartoma of the tongue is usually rare. It is usually difficult to diagnose grossly. But can be diagnosed definitely with help of histopathological examination. Our case study is on a 5-year-old female who was asymptomatic and presented with cystic swelling at the base of the tongue which was initially diagnosed as a cyst but was diagnosed histopathologically as a hamartoma.

Brooke-Spiegler syndrome is a rare entity. It is an autosomal dominant syndrome in which multiple trichoepitheliomas, cylindromas, or other adnexal tumors are seen. Very few cases of Brooke-Spiegler syndrome are reported in the literature. We came across a 40 -year-old female in which multiple trichoepitheliomas and cylindromas were seen on scalp. In view of clinical history and histopathological examination it was diagnosed as Brooke-Spiegler syndrome. We report this case because of its rarity.

Struma ovarii, also known as goiter of the ovary is a rare disease.1 Considering the rarity of this tumor and constrained literature in Nepal’s context, we hereby present a case of a 46-year-old female, asymptomatic, with normal blood parameters who presented with an abdominal mass. She was suspected of malignant ovarian mass on an ultrasonogram. Intraoperative frozen section examination revealed a benign tumor suggestive of dermal tumor versus struma ovarii. Postoperatively, histopathological examination was performed to assess the percentage of thyroid tissue and a diagnosis of benign struma ovarii was made which was confirmed by thyroglobulin positivity on immunohistochemistry. No features of immature teratoma and malignancy were identified.

Clinical Differential Diagnosis

Tuberculosis of the oral cavity which is an uncommon occurrence can be primary or secondary. In the absence of active pulmonary tuberculosis, isolated tonsillar tuberculosis is rare. Herein, we report two cases of bilateral tonsillar tuberculosis who presented as recurrent sore throat for which tonsillectomy was done. No active primary pulmonary lesion was found in these cases. Histopathological examination revealed caseating epithelioid granulomas with Langhans giant cells. Ziehl Neelson stain for acid fast bacilli was positive in one case. Tonsillar tuberculosis, though a rare entity, should be considered in the clinical differential diagnosis of tonsillar lesions. Histopathological examination with Ziehl Neelson stain should be performed for definite diagnosis.

Appendiceal mucocele (AM) is a rare entity that can present in a variety of clinical syndrome. The prevalence is 0.2- 0.4 % among appendicectomies.1 A 48 Years old male patient came to our Centre for Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound (CNMU), Rajshahi for abdominal ultrasound examination. He had pain with vomiting and feeling of lumpiness in right side of lower abdomen. Ultrasonography (US) showed an elongated regular outlined semi-cystic lesion in right iliac fossa. Laparotomy done, per-operative finding reveled AM. Post-operatively histopathological examination report revealed AM. TAJ 2011; 24(1): 54-56

Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are the most common benign tumors of the neural sheaths of the peripheral nerves. Incidence of these tumors in the hand accounts to 0.8-2%. The majority of them appear as an isolated grown mass along the route of the nerves. Peripheral nerves benign tumors present many difficulties concerning the clinical diagnosis and only histopathological evidence provides the final diagnosis. In this case study, we present a 45 year old man with a grown asymptomatic mass on the volar surface of right hand (hypothenar) remained for two years and impinging the skin of the hand only the last months. Initial MRI results diagnosed the mass as gaglion cyst. Histopathological examination revealed a schwannoma. We present this case as a rare manifestation of a schwannoma in hypothenar area of the hand. A literature review of diagnoses and therapeutic management is also presented.

Involvement of the paranasal sinus is a very rare entity. Nearly 80% of patients are younger than 20 years. Diagnosis is made after histopathological examination, immunohistochemical studies and cytogenetic studies. Treatment includes a multidisciplinary approach with surgery as the first line followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Background: Thyroid storm is a life-threatening Endocrine emergency with an incidence rate of 1% to 2% all over the world. It is a systemic condition leading to increased production of Thyroid Hormone and its release leading to Thermoregulatory, Adrenergic, Neuropsychiatric, Cardiovascular, and Abdominal Manifestations. Thyroid storm with Malignant Arrhythmia and delirium both together is rare entity, but the mortality rate is very high. The presentation of Malignant Arrhythmias and delirium together in the initial phase of the disease is much less common with only a few isolated cases described in the scientic literature. Objective: To present a case in which a patient had two simultaneous complication of thyroid storm i.e. delirium and ventricular tachycardia. Case Study: We report a 65 years-year-old man who came with complaints of Diarrhea, Fever, Breathlessness and psychosis. His serum tsh was <0.015 and anti tpo antibodies was 83. He was diagnosed to be in Thyroid storm and later had complications including Ventricular Tachycardia and delirium in an undiagnosed case of Hyperthyroidism. He was started on anti thyroid medication and slowly as his condition improved he was discharged. Conclusion: Patients with Thyrotoxicosis need to be closely monitored for complications since its early diagnosis and treatment may save lives.

Ectopic molar pregnancy is an uncommon event in clinical practice. In this paper, we report a case of ectopic complete molar pregnancy in a 39-year-old lady who presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and low-grade fever. Based on radiological and laboratory investigations, the differential diagnosis included ruptured ectopic pregnancy versus metastatic diseases. Ectopic hydatidiform molar pregnancies can occur at any extrauterine pelvic sites, yet more frequently affecting fallopian tubes. The histopathological examination remains the gold standard for the diagnosis.

ABSTRACT Epidermoid inclusion cysts are the most common types of simple dermal epithelial benign lesions, presenting as wellencapsulated subepidermal mobile nodules. They arise on hair-bearing areas but vulva is a rare site. We here report clinical and ultrasonography (USG) findings of a big epidermal nontraumatic inclusion epidermoid cyst at the vulva which was excised and histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of epidermoid inclusion cyst without any dysplasia.
