Intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma accounts for about 3% of cancers of the upper aero-digestive tract. It is commonly seen in men in the age group of 55-60 years. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman having extensive disease in the right half of the nasal cavity extending to the dura of the anterior cranial fossa, and the right orbital contents. The patient was given induction chemotherapy to make the condition surgically amenable, but the regression was modest, and hence she has been put on concurrent chemo-radiotherapy.

<p class="abstract">Rhinolith or nasal stone is formed by mineralization within nasal cavity. They are calcareous concretions that are formed by the deposition of salts on an intranasal foreign body. It is an uncommon disease that may present asymptomatically or cause symptoms like nasal obstruction, consecutive sinusitis with or without purulent rhinitis, post nasal discharge, epistaxis, anosmia, nasal malodour and headache. They are usually diagnosed incidentally on radiographic examinations or depending on the symptoms. In this paper we report a 28-year-old woman admitted in the ENT department of GGS Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot with a calcified mass in the right nasal cavity causing long standing unilateral nasal obstruction for 3 years, rhinorrhoea (usually malodourous foetid), post nasal discharge and headache for 1 year. The calcified mass was thought to contain the air cell and removed by endonasal approach. The aim of this study is to report a case of rhinolith with chronic maxillary sinusitis along with a review of literature.</p>

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a salivary gland tumor that may rarely occur in the nasal cavity. It can be a clinical diagnostic dilemma in many instances due to many possible differential diagnoses. We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a right nasal growth associated with ipsilateral nasal blockage, nasal pain, and rhinorrhea. Radiological image showed a mild enhancing lesion in the right nasal cavity. The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with wide excision of the mass. Histopathological exam was consistent with PA. Nasal PA is a rare entity and should be suspected as a diagnosis for intranasal tumors.

Vaginal Leiomyoma

ABSTRACT Introduction Leiomyoma arising from the vagina is a rare entity with varied presentations. Case Report A woman 44 years of age presented with complaints of something coming out vaginally, polymenorrhea, and pain in abdomen. A mass arising from the right posterolateral wall of vagina was seen. Ultrasound reported it to be cervical fibroid. The mass was enucleated through vaginal route. Histopathology confirmed it to be a leiomyoma. Review of literature revealed that it has a varied presentation. Diagnosis is often missed. Conclusion The condition should always be kept in mind whenever coming across any mass in vagina. How to cite this article Gupta M, Saini V, Jindal R, Kumari S, Nargotra N.

Leiomyoma is a benign tumor showing smooth muscle differentiation. Leiomyoma in the nasal cavity is a rare entity which can present with common nasal symptoms. We report a case of 19 years old male patient with nasal leiomyoma. The patient presented with recurrent episodes of nasal obstruction and epistaxis. On nasoendoscopy, there was a single grayish polypoidal mass in the right middle meatus which bled on touch. CT-scan of nose and paranasal sinus showed homogenous opacity indistinguishable from the right middle turbinate. The mass was excised endoscopically. There is no recurrence a year after the endoscopic excision of the nasal leiomyoma. Nasal leiomyoma carries a good prognosis after complete excision.Key words: endoscopic excision, leiomyoma, nasal cavity

Aggressive Angiomyxoma is a very rare, distinctive, locally invasive soft tissue tumour, that occurs most commonly in the perineum, pelvis, vulva and vagina. It is seen mostly in women of reproductive age group. It has a tendency for recurrence locally, treatment being surgical excision. We hereby describe a case of 38-year-old patient with a pedunculated growth on the right labium majora.

<p class="abstract">Fronto cutaneous fistula is a very rare entity which usually occurs as a complication of long standing frontal sinusitis leading to frontal bone osteomyelitis. Its incidence has decreased due to the wide spread use of antibiotics. In this era we would like to report a rare case of fronto cutaneous fistula secondary to sino nasal malignancy. A 65 year old female presented to the ENT out patient service of our Hospital with complaints of discharging sinus in the left forehead for 2 months. There was blurring of vision in the right eye for one year .She was a known diabetic. General examination showed that there was a mild swelling around the right orbit and the right eye was significantly proptosed. Routine ENT examination revealed that there was a suspicious nasal mass in the right nasal cavity on anterior rhinoscopy later confirmed by diagnostic nasal endoscopy. Ear and Throat were normal. Neurology opinion was obtained which stated that the findings were suggestive of an intracranial Space occupying lesion extending into the right orbit. Urgent CT was ordered. Routine laboratory investigations were normal except the ESR value which was 60 mm at end of 1 hour. CT scan showed a sinonasal mass existed centered over the right nasal cavity extending into the surrounding sinuses, near complete erosion of lamina papyracea with extension into right orbit. Biopsy of was done. The biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma with poorly to moderately differentiated cells. However as the patient was not willing for surgery, hence chemoradiation was advised.</p>

Primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) of renal capsule is a rare entity. We report a case of a 17-year-old girl, who presented with symptoms of epigastric and right hypochondrium pain since 1 year. She was afebrile and physical examination revealed a soft, non-tender, firm, bimanually palpable and ballotable mass along right flank. Ultrasound abdomen showed a large heteroechoic mass in right suprarenal region with indistinct planes with upper pole of right kidney. On CT, a large right suprarenal mass was noted with origin likely from right adrenal gland. Surgery was done and intraoperatively, the large mass in right suprarenal region showed involvement of the upper pole of the right kidney. The right adrenal gland was small in size, compressed and displaced by the lesion. Histopathology revealed the mass to be PNET of kidney. We report the relevant imaging findings of the case with review of literature of this entity.

ABSTRACT This report elaborates a rare case of infraorbital nerve Schwannoma in an 8-year-old boy who presented with the recurrent progressively increasing swelling over the right cheek following initial treatment. The mass was excised surgically via a facial approach. Infraorbital nerve sheath tumors occurring in the pediatric age are rare and can be often mistaken for infectious causes in this age group. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment in these tumors. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment can serve to minimize the treatment related morbidity arising from multiple interventions while avoiding undue apprehension. Pediatric infraorbital schwannomas, although a rare entity, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of long standing pediatric facial swellings.
