Histopathologic Findings

Conjoined twinning is a rare form of twinning, in which 2 bodies are attached, and is classified according to the anatomic place of attachment. An extremely rare form of conjoined twinning is janiceps conjoined twinning, in which 2 faces are attached but oriented in opposite directions. In this report, we present an unusual and difficult-to-classify case of conjoined male twins with partial duplication of craniofacial, upper oropharyngeal, and cardiac organs. We believe this to be one of the few reported cases of janiceps asymmetrus. We describe in detail the gross and microscopic pathology and offer some insights into the possible embryogenesis and distinction from the other rare form of conjoined twinning with facial duplication, diprosopus.

AbstractObjectivesDiprosopus is a rare subtype of conjoined twinning, with approximately 30 reported cases in English literature. Due to the rarity of conjoined twins, the mechanism leading to this developmental anomaly is not yet understood.Case presentationWe present a case of diprosopus with multimodality imaging (prenatal and postnatal), and with pathological correlations. Developmental anomalies include partial duplication of frontal lobes, formation of a midline “third” frontal lobe, as well as orofacial and cardiac anomalies. The constellation of anomalies coincide with development during embryonic days 23–26, where the anterior prosencephalon, prechordal plate/oropharyngeal membrane, and cardiogenic plate are in very close proximity to each other.ConclusionsThis case offers an opportunity to better appreciate the radiologic and pathologic manifestations of diprosopus, and adds to the current body of evidence.

Intracytoplasmic Inclusions

Russell bodies are accumulation of immunoglobulin in plasma cells forming intracytoplasmic inclusions. Russell body colitis is rare with only 3 cases described in the English literature up to date. We report a 78-year-old male with cirrhosis showing prominent cecal infiltration of Russell body containing plasma cells. Plasma cells showed no nuclear atypia or mitoses, and no evidence of light chain restriction. In this article, we report a fourth case of Russell body colitis, that is unique in being localized to the cecum in contrast to the other 3, 1 of which was in an inflammatory polyp in the sigmoid colon, 1 in a rectal tubulovillous adenoma and 1 as part of diffuse gastrointestinal disease. This is therefore the first report of localized Russell body typhlitis, occurring in a cirrhotic patient in whom an adjacent erosion was likely nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated, a combination that may have facilitated the formation of Russell bodies.

Bilateral Tubal Pregnancy

Bilateral tubal pregnancy (BTP) is a very rare form of ectopic twin gestation. Many times, they occur after the use of assisted reproductive therapy. Most cases of BTP are diagnosed during laparoscopy. This case report demonstrates a rare preoperative, sonography diagnosis of a spontaneous BTP which occurred after a tubal ligation. The sonogram revealed two corpus luteal cysts, both located on the right ovary, which suggests that the left tubal pregnancy most likely occurred as a result of ovum transmigration. This case demonstrates the important role that sonography plays in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies as well as the importance of thoroughly examining the entire pelvis during a pelvic sonogram.

Attached Gingiva

A case of two fibrotic lesions of the oral mucosa in a 17-month-old African-American female is reported. Both lesions occurred on the anterior maxilla, one lesion pedunculated on the buccal attached gingiva and the other lesion sessile on the palate. Histological examination characterized the buccal lesion as focal fibrous hyperplasia (FFH) and the palatal lesion as a giant cell fibroma (GCF). A case is made for continuing the consideration of GCF as a histologically distinct entity from FFH but that no difference in clinical impact between the two lesions exists.

I have read with interest Doctors Adams' and El-Salawy's comments on my case report identified in their letter as the "Lausanne baby." I do think that the "Lausanne baby" represents a case of pulmonary vascular sequestration inasmuch as the inferior lobe of the left lung received its blood supply by means of three arterial branches coming off directly from the aorta. On the other hand, I do not think that the "Lausanne baby" is a case of pulmonary parenchymal sequestration and this because the inferior lobe of the left lung was proven to be, at least to my satisfaction, in direct communication with the remainder of the respiratory tract.
