Abstract Cheilitis is an inflammatory condition of the vermilion border of the lips, which is the junction between the skin and the mucosa. Cheilitis may arise as a primary disorder of the vermilion zone; the inflammation may extend from the nearby skin, or less often from the oral mucosa. Primary cheilitis lesions are either superficial or deep. Deep types include cheilitis glandularis (inflammatory changes and lip gland swelling), and granulomatous cheilitis (chronic swelling of the lip due to granulomatous inflammation mostly of unknown origin). Cheilitis glandularis is a rare condition that mostly affects the lower lip and it is characterized by nodular enlargement, reduced mobility and lip erosion. Based on clinical presentation, cheilitis glandularis may be classified into three subtypes: simplex (described as Puente and Acevedo), superficial suppurative (described by Baelz-Unna), and the most severe type - deep suppurative, also known as cheilitis glandularis apostematosa (Volkmann’s cheilitis) characterized by deep-seated inflammation forming abscesses and fistulous tracts. This is a case report of a female patient with a deep suppurative type of cheilitis affecting both lips. Treatment with systemic antibiotics (using antibiogram tests), corticosteroids and topical therapy resulted in significant improvement.

Abstract We report the case of a 12 days old baby boy who presented with swelling and bluish discoloration on his left hip at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in November 2018. Ultrasound (USS) was useful in making the diagnosis of a neonatal psoas abscess. He was treated with extraperitoneal drainage and with systemic antibiotics. The clinical presentation and diagnosis, treatment of this rare condition and brief literature review is given in this case report.

Background: Joubert syndrome is a very rare condition with dismal prognosis. It is characterized by several abnormalities including molar tooth sign on MRI. When coupled with mega cisterna magna- a feature of the Dandy Walker syndrome- it is categorized as Joubert plus syndrome. Case report: A 16 month old male child with Joubert syndrome was referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Department Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry Alexandria University, complaining of severe tongue and lower lip injury due to self-mutilation. He required multiple teeth extractions under general anesthesia to prevent further tongue and lip mutilation. Conclusion: Joubert plus syndrome is a very rare occurring condition. Because self-mutilation is sometimes fatal, a treatment plan tailored to each patient's need is mandatory. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended.

Though being usually a cutaneous tumor, melanomas can occur in several extracutaneous sites. Primary mucosal melanomas are rare, and primary gastric mucosal melanomas are considered extremely rare. Compared with cutaneous and ocular melanoma, mucosal melanomas have the lowest five-year survival. High level of suspicion of such rare condition may be the only way for early detection, diagnosis and chance for successful management of similar cases. In the present report, a case of a primary gastric melanoma in a 73-year-old man is described, along with a short review of the literature

Local Inflammation

Localized hypertrichosis with traumatic panniculitis is considered a rare condition. Previous articles have reported occurrence in females aged between 20 and 35 years. Possible mechanisms of trauma-induced localized hypertrichosis include hyperemia and angiogenesis induced by local inflammation, which can alter the hair growth cycle. The presence of inflammatory cells and lipomembranous changes on histopathology can support the diagnosis. We herein present a 35-year-old female patient with localized hypertrichosis following blunt trauma.

A dermoid cyst is a teratoma of a cystic nature which can occur wherever a teratoma can occur. Intra mesenteric dermoid cyst is rarest of rare case and even its incidence is not known. Here, we report a case of intra mesenteric dermoid cyst in 21 yr. old female patient who presented to us with complain of on & off mild pain in abdomen for last 2 years. Intra mesenteric dermoid cyst is a rare condition and when presented with symptoms, it should be operated upon for improving patient’s overall wellbeing. Dermoids belong to the group of congenital cystic tumours developing from an embryonic rest. Such tumours vary from those which contain only epidermal cells to those containing various dermal derivatives, such as glandular cells (sebaceous), and even hair and teeth. So, they vary from pure epidermoids to dermoids and then through the teratoid tumours to the teratomas. These tumours can arise wherever two ectodermal surfaces fuse together in the developing embryo when an ectodermal implant is retained deep in the surface.”1 Intra mesenteric dermoid is very rare and no previous case report regarding intra mesenteric dermoid was found.

Midline Cleft

Midline cleft of the lower lip and mandible is an extremely rare condition. Since 1819, when the first case was reported by Couronne, fewer than 80 cases have been described in the world literature so far. The cleft has also been described as facial cleft no. 30 by Paul Tessier. The condition varies in severity from a mild variety in which there is a submucous cleft and notching in the lower lip to a severe variety, involving the tongue, floor of the mouth, mandible, absent hyoid, atrophic neck muscles, and sternum. In this case report, a female child having complete midline cleft of the lower lip and mandible, with bifid tongue stuck to the floor of the mouth, absent hyoid bone and flexion contracture band extending from the confluence of the tip of the tongue, floor of the mouth, cleft mandible to the manubrium sterni is described, with special emphasis on surgical planning and management.

Oral Lichen

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is considered a potentially malignant lesion (PML), although its rate of transformation is controversial. New treatments have been introduced recently, for example calcipotriene (D3 vitamin analog). Its incremental action with glucocorticoids is observed and isolated lip lesions may respond positively to combined topical therapy. Thus, objective of this case report is to show a therapeutic alternative for isolated and persistent OLP lip lesions. An 18-year-old teenager was referred to evaluate an erythematous lower lip lesion with approximately 10 years of evolution. The inspection revealed multiple erythematous areas surrounded by thin whitish streaks located in the vermilion of the lower lip. No abnormalities in the skin, nails, scalp or other areas of oral mucosa were observed. The incisional biopsy was performed and the microscopic exam showed areas of basal layer degeneration with intense mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate banded and predominantly subepithelial. The therapeutic proposal was topical application of Daivobet®, a combination of topical corticosteroids and vitamin D derivative. The lesion had remission after the fifteen days, medication was suspended and indicated when there was a relapse. During follow-up, no recurrences or complications were observed. That combination therapy may be a new approach in treating OLP.

Here we describe a unique uterine mass in a dog with granulomatous lesions caused by filarial larvae from the family Onchocercidae. An 8-year-old female Maltese was presented to a local animal hospital with anorexia, depression, and vaginal discharge. A markedly distended uterus was observed on lateral abdominal radiographs, leading to a clinical diagnosis of pyometra or uterine mass of an unknown origin. During surgery, the left uterine horn contained a 5 cm diameter mass adhered to adjacent soft tissue. On gross inspection, the mass contained numerous white nematodes. Microscopically, this mass was characterised by a granulomatous inflammation of the myometrium and endometrium. Because all of the nematodes were dead, definitive species identification was not possible. However, based on the histologic appearance, these nematodes were tentatively identified as Dirofilaria immitis larvae.
