Ameloblastoma is one of the most common types of oral odontogenic tumors. As per literature, ameloblastoma mostly occurs in the mandible butthe maxillary ameloblastoma has a more aggressive behavior due to anatomical features. Also,unicystic ameloblastoma may have lower recurrent rate. In this case report, we present a 60-year-old male patient with a history of unicystic ameloblastoma, whichtheintraluminaladenomatoid odontogenic tumor excisional biopsy surgery was performed but the patient didn’t follow the treatment completely, and after two years he came back with swellingof the right upper alveolar ridge. After the second surgery, the histopathologic report revealed a mixed plexiform-follicular ameloblastoma recurrence and it seemedthat previous surgery was not sufficient and more radical treatment is needed for the lesion

This case report describes the performance of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy in a 50-year-old woman who had scoliosis with kyphosis and a history of tuberculosis of the lumbar spine. The operation was performed with the patient under general anesthesia and in the prone position. Residual stones were found in the right lower kidney calyx postoperatively, resulting in a second-phase surgery using the same approach 2 weeks later. All stones were successfully removed during the second surgery. No complications occurred in either operation, and the patient recovered well. This study suggests that ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a safe and effective approach in treating renal calculi in patients with scoliosis.

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.

Introduction: Skin graft reconstruction is a common method of providing wound coverage. Rarely, skin grafting can be associated with the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the graft donor site. Case Report: The patient is a 72-year old male with a 15-year history of bilateral hip wounds. He underwent a multitude of treatments previously with failed reconstructive efforts. After presenting to us, he underwent multiple debridements and eventual skin grafting. Within 4 weeks of the final skin graft, a mass developed at the skin graft donor site at the right thigh. Excisional biopsy returned a well differentiated keratinizing SCC. Discussion/Conclusion: This case demonstrates the acute presentation of SCC in a patient following a skin graft without known risk factors. The purpose of this unique case report is to highlight a very rare occurrence of SCC at a skin graft donor site.

We report a sequential neuroimaging study in a 48-years-old man with a history of chronic hypertension and lacunar strokes involving the ventral lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus. The patient developed mild hemiparesis and severe contraversive pushing behavior after an acute hemorrhage affecting the right thalamus. Following standard motor physiotherapy, the pusher behavior completely resolved 3 months after the onset and, at that time, he had a Barthel Index of 85, although mild left hemiparesis was still present. This case report illustrates that pushing behavior itself may be severely incapacitating, may occur with only mild hemiparesis and affected patients may have dramatic functional improvement (Barthel Index 0 to 85) after resolution pushing behavior without recovery of hemiparesis.

Objective. Endometriotic tissue implants rarely transform to malignant tissue, especially in a patient with a hysterectomy and bilaterally salpingo-oophorectomy. However, several cases with cancer arising from endometriosis after hysterectomy were reported in the literature. Hormone replacement therapy only with estrogen is a crucial risk factor for malignant transformation of persistent endometriotic tissue. Case Report. The present case demonstrates an endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from persistent endometriosis tissue in a patient who was performed hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy 3 years ago. The histopathologic specimens of the previous surgery did not include any malignant tissue. After 3 years, she applied to the hospital with abnormal vaginal bleeding, and her histopathologic examination result found an ulcerated mass at the upper one-third of the vagina that is compatible with endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Conclusion. It is crucial to keep in mind the endometriosis history of the patient, to be able to diagnose cancer arising from endometriosis while evaluating the patient with a hysterectomy.

We report a case of sudden, unexpected death associated with meningioangiomatosis in a 13-year-old, previously healthy male without a history of seizures, neurologic deficits, or clinical stigmata of neurofibromatosis. There was no family history of neurofibromatosis. The postmortem examination showed a 5-cm mass involving the right posterior frontal and orbital frontal cortex that had microscopic features diagnostic of meningioangiomatosis. Because no other cause of death was found, we postulate that he likely died as a result of a seizure secondary to meningioangiomatosis.

Deep Vein

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is an anatomical condition resulting in compression of the left common iliac vein between the right common iliac artery and the underlying spine. MTS is rarely diagnosed because diagnostic workup is seldom continued once the diagnosis of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been established. Furthermore, patients with DVT generally have several well-known confounding risk factors. We report a 16-year-old girl with a history of left leg swelling who was incidentally diagnosed with MTS. We hope that our case report will create awareness of vascular abnormalities in sports medicine and suggest that routine venous Doppler ultrasound screening may help to detect MTS or associated anatomical prior to the formation of early thrombosis.

AbstractObjective:We present the first reported case in the English language literature of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the right tonsil in a young, pregnant woman, and we report a management strategy for this enigmatic entity.Case report:A 28-year-old, pregnant woman presented with a 10-day history of odynophagia despite a course of antibiotics. Examination revealed a grade II, erythematous right tonsil with ulceration on the upper pole. A biopsy was arranged, and initial evaluation was suggestive of spindle cell carcinoma. However, this diagnosis was reviewed after immunohistochemical staining confirmed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour. Subsequent complete excision was undertaken using CO2laser.Conclusion:Clinically, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the tonsil is known to be locally aggressive and can present in a manner not dissimilar to a high grade carcinoma of the tonsil. As a result, the recommended treatment is complete local excision with careful follow up.

15546 Background: ENB is a rare embrionary tumor derived from neuroblasts of the olfactory sensory system. Polypoid mass with epistaxis or nasal obstruction are the most common clinical manifestations of this tumor. It’s invasive and it frequently causes regional and distant metastasis. ENB requires a multimodality therapy. The objective of this study is to describe the form of presentation, diagnosis, treatment and evolution of this tumor on a female patient (pt), as a casuistic contribution. Methods and Case Report: A 61 year old woman with a four month history of epistaxis, nasal pain and anosmia. CT shows nasal mass invading the entire nasal cavity and upper maxillary. Pt underwent nasal resection and reconstruction with frontal flaps. Anatomopathology: ENB invading the bone. Cromogranin (+), sinaptofisin (+), CK (−), NSE (−). Three months later: lesion on the right wing nasal and a mass in the soft palate. MRI: mass on the floor of the nasal fossa that involve the left maxillary sinus and the bone palate. Kadish stage C. We treated her with three cycles of chemotherapy using cisplatin 30 mg/sqM d 1–3 iv and etoposide 100 mg/sqM d 1–3 iv. After that, remission was observed in the wing nasal lesion but the the soft palate mass shows progression. MRI: mass in nasal fossa that destroys the left maxillary sinus and causes lysis of the upper maxillary and orbital floor. Pt was treated with radiotherapy (6000 cGy) showing complete remission of the nasal lession and partial response on the soft palate, verified by physical examination and RMI. Four months after the end of radiotherapy, she continues under control and maintains the response to therapy without evidence of progression. Conclusion: ENB is an unfrequent tumor without any standard treatment. In our case, the combination of surgery, CH and RT has been effective for local control of the disease with good tolerance and acceptable quality of life.
