Acantholytic dyskeratotic acanthoma (ADA) is a rare benign condition characterized by circumscribed epidermal proliferation displaying both acantholysis and dyskeratosis. It is of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. We report a case of ADA of long duration in a 75-year-old female along with a review of literature with special reference to cases reported during the past 10 years.

Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies which are spontaneously conceived are of rare occurrences. Generally, they are diagnosed intra-operatively. There are no guidelines published till date for their management. There has been a reported increase in the incidence of such cases. We present a review of such cases reported over the last two decades and report a similar case which presented to our hospital with acute abdomen and USG suggested hemo-peritoneum with further intraoperative diagnosis of bilateral tubal ectopic managed by left salpingectomy and right salpingostomy

A patient presented with skin lesions at sites not contiguous with Crohn's disease of the bowel and with specific histological features of Crohn's disease occurring two weeks from the onset of bowel symptoms. Currently a number of nonspecific skin conditions such as erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum and erythema multiforme are accepted as being the most common skin manifestations of Crohn's disease. It is likely, however, that specific lesions of Crohn's disease in the skin have been underdiagnosed either because of lack of biopsy or misinterpretation of the histology. Twenty-three cases with specific Crohn's disease in the skin have been recorded in the past 25 years, since the condition has been recognized. Sarcoidosis has been a common misdiagnosis. The literature relating to multicentric Crohn's disease is reviewed and attention drawn to its protean and masquerading features. An argument is made for the use of the term 'multicentric' rather than 'metastatic' in relation to cutaneous Crohn's disease.

1. Our experience with a six-year-old boy who had diarrhea, urethritis, conjunctivitis and arthritis is presented as a classical case of Reiter's syndrome. The patient recovered fully in a period of five months and has remained well during the past five years. 2. The cause of Reiter's syndrome remains unknown but in children may be related to Flexner bacillus dysentery. 3. The disease in children is usually less severe than in adults and all 11 children reported have recovered. The recent literature is reviewed. 4. Treatment with antibiotics is of no value and steroid therapy has not prevented exacerbations nor shortened the course of the disease. 5. The nongonococcal triad of urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis is a distinct clinicopathologic entity which differs from known infections and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Oral focal mucinosis (OFM) is a rare soft-tissue lesion of unknown etiology. Clinically it appears as asymptomatic round lesions and histologically, characterized by focal myxoid degeneration of connective tissue with presence of stellate shaped fibroblasts which were also evident in the present case. This case report stresses on the fact that diagnosis of OFM is almost impossible hence diagnosis should be confirmed by histopathological examination following incisional or excisional biopsy. Through this article we present a rare case of one such lesion on the gingiva and enumerate the most characteristic and myxomatous lesions. Thus though rare, OFM must be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue overgrowths in oral cavity. Here, we describe the clinical and histopathological   presentation and subsequent management of OFM in a female patient.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty after McMurray’s osteotomy increases the operative difficulties and decreases the chances of better outcome. With the advent of modular femoral stems, minute changes can be done to individual joints, which allow intraoperative flexibility and better post-operative outcome. Thus, it should be considered as an option for complicated cases. Case Report: We report a case of a 35-year-old female with chief complain of pain in the left hip while walking for the past 2 years. The patient also had difficulty in squatting and sitting cross legged. History of fracture in the left hip at 4 years of age for which McMurray’s osteotomy was done. The patient was operated with total hip arthroplasty using modular Sivash range of motion (S-ROM) stem. Conclusion: Modular S-ROM total hip arthroplasty is a good option for treatment in cases with previous osteotomy in femur. Keywords: McMurray’s osteotomy, total hip arthroplasty, Sivash range of motion.

Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) is a rare disorder with an unknown etiology. REM requires both a clinical and a pathological diagnosis. Multiple relevant associations and triggers are known. Herein, we report a classic case of REM, whose condition was found to be correlated with smoking and exacerbated by sun exposure. Our diagnostic and treatment approach is based on a worldwide review of current research, and this report aims to demonstrate a classical presentation of REM and available treatment options that have proved efficacious to date.

Introduction Foreign body cases are common in otolaryngologic practice, usually occurring in children. An impacted penetrating impaling foreign body can be one of the most challenging emergencies Management revolves around safe extraction of impaling object and prevention of complications. Here we share our experience with one such case of unusual foreign body impacted at an unusual site, with an extensive review of  literature discussing management & prevention of complications in similar cases. Case Report A 3 year old boy presented to us in ENT emergency with a long metallic hook impaled in nasopharynx for the past 8 hours.  We were able to dislodge the impacted foreign body under direct endoscopic visualisation under general anaesthesia. Discussion Any such injury might be similar but no two injuries are the same. It needs combined expertise of multidisciplinary team usually consisting of  ENT surgeon, anaesthesiologist, radiologist and may also need vascular surgeon and interventional radiologist at times. Several complications are reported in literature, knowledge of which would help preparedness and thus a better outcome.

Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disease with angiolymphatic proliferation of unknown etiology predominantly seen among young Asian males. It classically shows a triad of non-tender subcutaneous masses predominantly in head and neck region with tissue and blood eosinophilia and raised serum IgE level. Here we present a case report of a 24 years male with bilateral pre-auricular and post-auricular swelling for 6 years. The diagnosis of Kimura disease was made on the basis of clinical and histopathological examination.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(1) 2018 p.152-154
