Reactive Angioendotheliomatosis

Reactive angioendotheliomatosis (RAE) is a rare, typically self-limiting, angioproliferative disease that is commonly seen in patients with a variety of inflammatory and systemic diseases. RAE can clinically present as ulcerated, single or multifocal, violaceous papules or plaques. We report a case of a 59-year-old male with a complicated cardiac history who presented with biopsy-proven RAE on the thigh. The differential diagnosis of RAE can include Kaposi sarcoma and angiosarcoma, as well as other non-malignant cutaneous disease. These diagnoses must be excluded before correctly diagnosing and treating RAE. We review the common presentation of RAE along with criteria to exclude other possible diagnoses that can resemble RAE.

Abstract Aim “For pre operative optimization and educational purposes, rare possibilities should be included in the differential diagnosis”” Material and Methods “CASE REPORT. Inguinal hernia is one of the common operations done by surgeons, often diagnosed clinically. Here we present a case of 29 year old male patient presented with inguinal swelling for 3 years. He was admitted for the surgical ward as a case of incarcerated inguinal hernia for elective repair under GA. Intra op the mass was not consistent with inguinal hernia, two other possibilities were a concern that can cause the swelling; 1) testes, which was excluded by examining the scrotum, 2) Dermoid/Epidermoid cyst which was checked by the mass content of hair and pasty fluid” Results “DERMOID CYST” Conclusions “Most surgeons depend on clinical picture in diagnosing inguinal hernia, thus even other rare possibilities should be included in the differential diagnosis. Unusual presentations of inguinal hernia should be having radiological evaluated.”

We represent a pediatric case of the congenital disorder caused by zinc malabsorption, acrodermatitis enteropathica, presenting with acute onsetof blisters. Although blisters can be seen in this condition, it is not always a key feature and can therefore be overlooked when considering a differential diagnosis of acute blistering in infancy. We therefore review the common and less common features of this cutaneous eruption as well as provide an extensive differential diagnosis for acute blistering in infancy. We also emphasize the importance of lifelong treatment with zinc supplementation in these children.

Oedema Fluid

Massive ovarian oedema is defined by WHO as formation of tumour like enlargement of one or both ovaries by oedema fluid in the stroma It is a benign lesion with age distribution varying from a neonate at six months of age to postmenopausal women up to 60-years-old. The differential diagnosis are ovarian fibromatosis, ovarian fibroma, sclerosing stromal tumour and ovarian myxoma. The common management of massive oedema of ovary is unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, as the lesion is mistaken for primary ovarian neoplasm at laparotomy. Diagnosing MOE is of great importance to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatment in young patients to prevent infertility .We report this case of Massive Oedema of Ovary for its uncommonness.

Abstract Aneurysmal disease can occur in any vessel in the body and occur most commonly the aorta, cerebral and popliteal arteries; however, aneurysms of the digital artery remain a rare presentation. They form an important differential diagnosis in any patient presenting with a mass in the hand. This report presents the case of a 64-year-old man with a true aneurysm of the common palmar digital artery who underwent successful repair, following excision and end to end anastomosis. Only 21 cases of true digital artery aneurysm have been reported; we review the literature pertaining to the diagnosis and management of digital artery aneurysms since they were first described by Baruch et al in 1977.

Systemic Symptoms

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic relapsing and remitting inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. The common presentation includes abdominal pain, abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Many patients may exhibit systemic symptoms of fever and weight loss. Approximately 20% to 40% of patients will experience extraintestinal manifestations that involve the eyes, skin and joints. Women may experience a variety of gynecological manifestations, including vulvovaginal involvement, which is often not recognized and also difficult to treat. A case of refractory vulvovaginal CD is presented and the literature of gynecological manifestations of CD and its treatment are reviewed.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative disorder. While KS of the head and neck is common in HIV-positives, it’s rare in HIV-negatives. Our case and the past 24 reported cases of ear KS reviewed here, highlight the importance of considering KS in the differential diagnosis of ear lesions in HIV-negatives.

First Case

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a cutaneous disease triggered by numerous stimuli, where genetic milieu-influenced autoimmunity to hemidesmosomal proteins, namely, BP180 and/or BP230 initiate an inflammation leading to dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) enzymatic pathological remodelling. Here, to the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of an infantile BP apparently triggered by COVID-19. BP should be included in differential diagnosis of infantile rashes showing blisters or vesicles or both as well as their prodromal and evolutionary lesions. Possible triggers, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), of BP in infancy should be identified and properly dealt with.
