Ectopic gall bladder is a rare entity. It can often be misdiagnosed causing diagnostic dilemma leading to various complications. Ultrasonography is the most common investigation for evaluating gall bladder pathologies. However, the confirmation of ectopic gallbladder is not easily possible by this method. On the other hand, hepatobiliary scan (HIDA scan) plays an important role in evaluating the presence and position of ectopic gallbladder. Here we present a case of sonographically suspected ectopic gallbladder confirmed by hepatobiliary scan highlighting the importance of HIDA scan in ectopic gallbladder.Bangladesh J.

Background: Intramural hematoma of the duodenum is a rare cause of acquired duodenal obstruction. It is often a diagnostic dilemma and a high degree of suspicion is required to make an early and accurate diagnosis in children. Case Report: A 2-year-old child presented with bilious vomiting and abdominal distension. X-ray abdomen showed high intestinal obstruction. Ultrasound and CT scan abdomen gave suspicion of pancreatic pseudo-cyst near head of pancreas. At surgery, an intramural hematoma of the duodenum was found and drained. Conclusion: Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare entity especially in children and should be considered in differential diagnosis of acquired duodenal obstruction.

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.

Invasive fungal mastoiditis is a rare entity, seen almost entirely in immunocompromized patients. It has been reported primarily in patients with leukaemia and more recently with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. A literature search revealed only a few reports in diabetic patients, in whom the invasive fungus was identified as mucormycosis in all cases. We report the first case in the English literature of invasive septate fungal mastoiditis in a diabetic patient with intact tympanic membranes.

Serous borderline tumor is a rare entity of peritoneum which can lead to diagnostic dilemma due to its resemblance with reactive lesions of peritoneum and ovarian borderline and malignant neoplasms. Complete clinical details, histopathological evaluation and immunohistochemistry aid in arriving at correct diagnosis. Recognizing this entity is important as it carries good prognosis.

Cell Neoplasm

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is recognized as a B-cell neoplasm arising from germinal center or postgerminal center B-cells. The hallmark of CHL is the presence of CD30 (+) Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells with dim expression of PAX5. Nearly all of the HRS cells are positive for PAX5. However, a small minority of HRS cells may lack PAX5 expression, which can cause a diagnostic dilemma. Herein we describe two cases of PAX5-negative CHL and review of the English literature on this very rare entity. It is crucial to be aware of this phenomenon, which in some cases may lead to misdiagnosis and may ultimately adversely affect patient’s management.

Four cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland are reported. Thorough evaluation confirmed these lesions to be of primary thyroid origin rather than from metastasis or direct invasion from contiguous structures. These cases illustrate the aggressive nature of the disease and the propensity for local and distant metastases. The clinicopathologic data presented here underscore the challenge in diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.

Retroperitoneal Lymphangioma

Background. Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is a rare, benign mesodermal tumor arising from the retroperitoneal lymphatics which usually presents in infancy and it is worthy to report a case when it has presented in an adult. After a thorough literature search in English we concluded that less than 200 cases of adult retroperitoneal lymphangioma have been reported so far. Apart from being a rare entity it also presents as a diagnostic dilemma and final diagnosis is often made on surgical exploration.Case Presentation. We report a case of retroperitoneal lymphangioma in a 55-year-old male who presented with abdominal distension and dull aching abdominal pain.Conclusion. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas are rare tumors of infancy but may also present in adults where they are a diagnostic challenge. Differentiating cystic lymphangiomas from other cystic growths by imaging studies alone are often inconclusive and surgery is frequently required for definitive diagnosis and to ameliorate the symptoms.

Ancient schwannomas are a rare entity of benign cutaneous nerve sheath tumor in patients without von Recklinghausen disease. Head and neck, mediastinal, retroperitoneal ancient schwannomas have been reported and has high degree for malignant transformation. Ancient schwannoma of the peripheries have been reported in only few cases and in hand only two cases have been reported. We present this case for its rarity and the diagnostic dilemma occurring with FNAC. Thus these tumors if present in periphery and in non-neurofibromatosis patient can masquerade as malignant tumors but still can safely are treated with excision biopsy alone and with almost nil recurrence.
