Abstract Acne necrotica is a rare disease, characterized by repeated cropping of inflammatory papules and papulo-pustules, which rapidly necrotize and leave varying degrees of varioliform scars that may lead to cicatricial alopecia when terminal hair-bearing sites are involved. In early lesions, pathology shows necrotizing lymphocytic folliculitis. We report a 63-year-old male patient with chronic, relapsing, umbilicated and centrally necrotic erythematous papules and papulo-pustules involving the frontal hairline area, face, and neck. Histopathology showed epidermal spongiosis and lymphocytic exocytosis, extensive necrosis and destruction of the follicular epithelium, a dense diffuse lymphohistiocytic infiltrate and necrosis of the perifolicular dermis. The diagnosis of acne necrotica was made based on the correlation of clinical and histopathological findings. A complete clinical remission was achieved with topical erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide.

Mucormycosis is an invasive, potentially lethal fulminant fungal infection that is caused by normallysaprophytic fungus belonging to the class zygomycetes. Mucormycosis is characterized by its unrelentingprogression towards vital organs with marked propensity towards arterial wall by direct extension producingvascular thrombosis leading to ischaemic necrosis. The maxilla rarely undergoes necrosis due to its richvascularity. The case report here was a case of mucormycosis with extensive necrosis of maxilla in a 48 yearold male patient with palatal perforation as the sole presentation of mucormycosis.Key words: Mucormycosis; palatal perforation; fungal infection.DOI: 10.3329/jafmc.v6i1.5989Journal of Armed Forces Medical College, Bangladesh Vol.6(1) 2010 p.29-31

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a rare disease which can manifest itself by the development of plexiform neurofibromatosis, with craniofacial deformities. In this paper, we propose special consideration in excision nasolabial fold mass to help lifting procedures in neurofibromatosis patients. We are reporting two case, both presented with von Recklinghausen’s disease, a 21 years old male patient with neurofibromatosis in his right hemifacial for which he had been operated on five times previously at other center, and a 24 years old male with neurofibromatosis in his left hemifacial. After several stages of reconstruction which started with nasolabial fold mass excision, the result was satisfactory, by using the multiple stage repair, it was done until the end result is similar to anatomical form. The mass debulking procedures for these patients, which started with Nasolabial Fold mass excisison are continued with durable lifting procedures. This method gives results a satisfactory lifting procedure.

Context: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare disease that belongs to the category of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The condition is invariably fatal and progresses with severe dementia with psychiatric signs and, with cortical, subcortical and cerebellar signs. This case report was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Metropolitana de Santos. Case Report: We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient who presented with a subacute onset of behavioral changes associated with myoclonus and changes in coordination. Associated with the described symptoms, he presented aphasia of expression, cerebellar incoordination and spasticity was also present in the four limbs. Conclusions: The usual forms of transmission could not be confirmed for this patient, who died four months after the onset of symptoms.

ABSTRACT Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disorder, usually occurring in children and young adults. A five year old male child presented with ulcers in lower left alveolar ridge with mobility of adjacent teeth of four months duration. After all relevant radiological and histopathological investigations final diagnosis of multicentric langerhans cell histiocytosis stage - II was made. The patient was put on chemotherapy with CHOP (Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, Vincristine and Prednisolone) regimen three weekly for eight courses. Now after six months of cessation of chemotherapy, the patient is in complete clinical remission.

Abstract Background Cryptogenic multifocal ulcer stenosing enteritis (CMUSE) is a rare disease characterized by multiple superficial ulcers, stenosis, and obstruction of the small intestine of unknown origin, and the course can recur. Case presentation We encountered a 62-year-old male patient with intestinal obstruction. The patient was admitted to the hospital for surgical treatment due to intestinal obstruction, and was diagnosed with cryptogenic multifocal ulcer stenosis enteritis due to comprehensive surgery and postoperative pathological considerations. Conclusion In the future, we will continue to follow up the patient. The present study aims to remind clinicians of this disease, and reduce the incidence of misdiagnosis.

Introduction. Pemphigus herpetiformis is the rare variant of pemphigus with characteristic clinical features, histopathological findings different from the convectional pemphigus, and immunological findings consistent with pemphigus. Case report. We presented a 65-year-old woman with initial pruritus followed by pruritic urticarial papules and plaques, some with annular rings of tense vesicles on the periphery, on the trunk and extremities, with no mucous lesions. Histopathological examination demonstrated spongiosis and intraepidermal vesicles in the mid or subcorneal epidermis in some biopsy specimen, with neutrophil and eosinophil infiltrate. Direct immunoflorescent microscopy revealed intercellular IgG deposition, most prominent in the upper layers of epidermis. Indirect immunoflorescent microscopy showed intercellular binding of IgG autoantibodies in the patient?s sera. Initially the patient was threated with systemic corticosteroids and azathioprine, but dapson provided complete clinical remission. Conclusion. This entity was established 40 years ago, and around 100 patients have been reported worldwide. It is important to be aware of this particular form of pemphigus because clinical presentation, course of the disease and therapeutic approach are different from conventional forms of pemphigus.

Hemoglobin S (HBS) and hemoglobin E (HBE) are common hemoglobinopathies, but combined heterozygosity of HBS and HBE (HBSE) is relatively a rare disease. Most reports suggest that HBSE is generally benign condition. In this report we describe a 17-year-old male patient presenting with acute chest syndrome treated with exchange transfusion.

Writer's Cramp

42 years old male patient referred from neurology department, working as a teacher, educated up to MSc, premorbidly anxious personality, family history mental illness (first degree relatives), comes from MSES with presenting complaints of difficulty in writing or copying since seven years. Disability progressed and he was unable to write even a few words legibly and could not hold object which leads to anxiety and dependency. When the patient was examined at Neurology OPD, find out that he has normal sensory and motor nerve functions. The present treatment involved the use of Bahaviour therapy. The findings in this case is very encouraging and studies with large sample sizes can be considered for further conclusive evidence on the treatment of writer’s cramp.
