SummaryOccipital neuralgia is a type of chronic headache disorder in the dermatomes of the greater or lesser occipital nerve. (7) We describe here a rare case of occipital neuralgia caused by an intramuscular lipoma. A 45 year-old man presented with troublesome pain in the occipital area with 3 x 2 cm palpable mass in the right occipital region. Patient was treated by a neurologist. The X ray for cervical vertebrae and computed tomography was performed.Computed tomography revealed a mass reminding intramuscular lipoma. Surgical management was indicated. During the operation stretching of the lesser occipital nerve was detected. After resection of lipoma on postoperative follow – up, the patient reported that the pain had resolved. During the histopathological examination, lipoma was confirmed.

Extrauterine parasitic lipoleiomyoma is a very rare fatty tumor, with uncertain histopathogenesis. Although imaging studies play an important role in preoperative localization and diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma, a pathological evaluation is paramount for confirmation of diagnosis. We describe a case of a 49-year-old woman with a palpable mass in the right inguinal area. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a fluid- and fat-containing mass. Histopathological examination of the mass, which was successfully resected, confirmed the diagnosis of lipoleiomyoma. The patient was discharged on a postoperative day 2 without any complications.

Spontaneous pneumothorax is rarely reported in the cat. This case report describes the use of computed tomography (CT) to diagnose pulmonary bullae in an adult cat with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. A large bulla in the right middle lung lobe and several blebs in other lobes were identified by CT. Partial lobectomy of the right middle and right and left cranial lung lobes was successfully performed to remove the affected portions of lung. Histopathological examination suggested bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as the underlying cause for development of the pulmonary bulla. This is the first case report in the veterinary literature describing the use of CT to identify pulmonary bullae in the cat with BPD as a possible underlying cause.

The case of a five-year-old spayed female French Bulldog with a mass in the right third eyelid is described. Ultrasonography and computed tomography were used to identify this pathological lesion and to visualise its morphology and extent. The mass was removed and submitted for histopathological examination. A final diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the nictitans gland was made. In the discussion we compare the presented case with the available literature. Only limited information is published about this pathology.

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is one of the 6 histopathological subtypes of ameloblastoma. Hybrid lesions in which histopathologically conventional ameloblastoma coexists with areas of DA are rare. A 40-year-old male was referred to our hospital complaining of a swelling in the right premolar region of the mandible. A panoramic radiograph showed an area of radiolucency with a well-defined corticated border, whereas computed tomography revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion and buccal expansion together with cortical perforation. The lesion was treated via enucleation and curettage of the marginal bone and fenestration. A histopathological examination showed a hybrid ameloblastoma with a pronounced desmoplastic pattern and follicular changes. The patient’s postoperative course has been favorable up to now, and no marked changes have been observed. We presented a case of hybrid ameloblastoma and reviewed the 36 reported cases of hybrid ameloblastoma that have been reported in the English literature.

CONTEXT: Supernumerary breast tissue may be affected by the same diseases and alterations that compromise topical breast tissue. Nevertheless, reports of fibroadenoma in supernumerary breast tissue in the axillae are rare. OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of fibroadenoma in an axillary supernumerary breast. DESIGN: Case report. CASE REPORT: A 39-year-old woman was referred to the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic at Hospital Estadual Sumaré, complaining of bilateral axillary masses. The patient reported cosmetic problems and local pain and discomfort. On physical examination, alterations compatible with bilateral axillary accessory breasts, without palpable nodules, were observed. Supplementary examinations (mammography and ultrasonography) revealed a 1.1 cm mass in the right axillary breast. The patient underwent resection of the supernumerary breasts and histopathological examination revealed fibroadenoma of the right axillary breast tissue.

In terms of diagnosis, a painless isolated mass lesion around the mastoid area is rarely encountered in general practice. In the present study, we report two cases of painless benign mastoid tumors located in the postauricular region. The first patient visited our department with a painless progressing mass lesion behind the right ear, which was later revealed as an intramuscular lipoma in the mastoid origin site of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The second patient similarly presented to our department with a chief complaint of a painless, palpable mass in the mastoid region. Biopsy results confirmed the diagnosis of an osteoma. In both cases, the tumor was surgically removed by a postauricular approach. Although osteoma and lipoma are benign tumors rarely involved in the mastoid area, presenting without symptoms, it is recommended of complete excision, especially in cases with symptoms or cosmetic deformity.

Dermoid cysts are among the most common periorbital and orbital tumors presenting in childhood. Several studies have shown that dermoid cysts may deform adjacent bones; however, few studies have followed the course of bone regeneration after the excision of a cyst. We report a case of a 29-month-old female infant who presented with a palpable mass over her right lateral eyebrow. Ultrasonography findings suggested a dermoid cyst, and computed tomography revealed a 2.1-cm round bony defect in the right zygoma. After surgical excision of the dermoid cyst, we successfully applied fibrin sealant to eliminate the dead space. Pathological findings showed nodular lesions with flat cystic walls containing lamellated keratin and sebaceous glands, supporting the diagnosis of dermoid cyst. At 6 months postoperatively, a follow-up computed tomography scan confirmed complete recovery of the bone defect in the right zygoma.

SUMMARY The paranasal sinus mucocele is an epithelized cystic lesion containing fluid and is characterized by non-neoplastic expansion of the paranasal sinus due to its capacity to erode the overlying bone. Etiology of these lesions is still under debate. In this report, we described a case of a patient with frontal recess mucocele, associated with contralateral frontal recess osteoma. A 55-year-old man was admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our hospital with the complaints of a headache affecting the fronto-ethmoidal region, left-sided nasal obstruction, and postnasal discharge. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses showed a dense bony lesion in the left and a cystic hypodense mass in the right-sided frontal recess. The patient was treated surgically, with a combined endoscopicexternal approach, bilaterally. Histopathological examination showed that the wall of the cyst was mucocele, and the bony formation was osteoma. The frontal recess osteoma is regarded as the primary condition. Thus, better ventilation and drainage of the frontal sinus were reestablished.

AbstractObjective:We report an unusual case of a fungus ball in the concha bullosa, without involvement of the paranasal sinuses.Case report:A 29-year-old woman presented complaining of nasal obstruction and postnasal discharge. Paranasal computed tomography demonstrated that the concha bullosa in the right middle turbinate was filled with a high-density material. The patient underwent endoscopic resection of the concha bullosa, during which a dark brown, cheese-like material was found. Histopathological examination of the excised specimen revealed a fungus ball.Conclusion:Fungus balls are non-invasive accumulations of dense fungal concretions that generally affect healthy individuals. In the sinonasal region, they occur most frequently in the maxillary sinus. Although fungus ball formation in the concha bullosa is unusual, it should be considered in the differential diagnoses of middle turbinate and sinonasal pathology.
