Colonic leiomyoma are remarkably rare cause of colonic symptoms in clinical practice. They constitute only 3% of gastrointestinal leiomyomas and complete endoscopic removal of the tumor can be a problem because of its submucosal origin. We describe a 62-year female patient with a 8 mm leiomyoma of sigmoid colon that was successfully removed by conventional endoscopic snare electrocauterisation, without complications.

Key Points A source of treatment refractoriness in immune cytopenias appears to be residual CD138/38-positive lymphocyte populations. A short course of daratumumab is a novel treatment of refractory thrombocytopenia after failure of standard treatment options.

AbstractTandem appliance is preferred over face mask mainly because of compliance reasons. In the given case report, clinicians have used tandem appliance for correcting skeletal class III malocclusion patient in later stage of growth. Operators utilized residual growth. Facial harmony was achieved by gaining positive overjet. Adolescent class III malocclusion is challenging to treat. Occurrence of class III malocclusion is just 5% in India. If patient reports in growing stage, clinicians get many relevant treatment options. Lack of knowledge about growth modulation therapy causes loss of growing stage of patients. This situation reduces available treatment modalities. Here is a case of female patient with class III malocclusion who is near completion of her growth; maxillary growth was stimulated in forward direction taking anchorage from overgrown mandible with the help of tandem appliance.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition seen commonly in clinical practice; high-flow arteriovenous malformations (AVM) can be a rare but important cause. Case Report: We discuss a case of a patient who had developed left CTS in the fifth decade of life as the result of a progressively enlarging congenital peripheral AVM affecting his left upper limb. This case illustrates the clinical challenges encountered in the surgical and interventional management of this complex issue. Discussion:High-flow AVMs affecting the extremities may be comprised of a convoluted network of vessels in high-flow, low-resistance systems that often recur despite intervention. Conclusion: Peripheral AVM affecting the hand can be a rare and therapeutically challenging cause of carpal tunnel syndrome that warrants multidisciplinary team discussion.
