Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection, caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, which frequently affects the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Cutaneous rhinosporidiosis is rare and probably underreported. We report a case of cutaneous rhinosporidiosis in association with recurrent nasopharyngeal rhinosporidiosis in a 68-year-old male patient.

Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a salivary gland tumor that may rarely occur in the nasal cavity. It can be a clinical diagnostic dilemma in many instances due to many possible differential diagnoses. We report the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a 3-year history of a right nasal growth associated with ipsilateral nasal blockage, nasal pain, and rhinorrhea. Radiological image showed a mild enhancing lesion in the right nasal cavity. The patient underwent a lateral rhinotomy with wide excision of the mass. Histopathological exam was consistent with PA. Nasal PA is a rare entity and should be suspected as a diagnosis for intranasal tumors.

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone without signs of multiple myeloma is a rare entity. It usually presents as an osteolytic lesion in the axial skeleton of an elderly patient. Here, we report a case of solitary plasmacytoma in the skull of a young male patient which emphasises the need to consider it in the differential diagnosis of a destructive calvarial mass lesion even in this age group.

Amyand’s hernia is a rare entity where the appendix is trapped within inguinal canal. For even rarer are the cases where the appendix has perforated and caused an abscess into inguinal canal. Here we report a case where a male patient had Amyand’s hernia, acute appendicitis and abscess which were treated by laparotomy. We present the diagnostic process and intraoperative finding leading to diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia.

AbstractObjectives:To present a case of, and to review the literature concerning, osteoblastoma of the nasal cavity, and to demonstrate the importance of considering this rare entity when assessing patients presenting with a nasal septum lesion.Case report:Benign osteoblastoma is a rare tumour, constituting 1 per cent of all bone tumours. Most cases occur in the long bones. Osteoblastoma involving the nasal cavity is rare, with only 10 reported cases in the English-language literature. Most nasal cavity cases originate from the ethmoid sinus and spread to involve the nasal cavity. There are only four reported cases of osteoblastoma originating from the bones of the nasal cavity. We report a case of osteoblastoma originating from the bony nasal septum in a 45-year-old man with a history of recurrent, right-sided epistaxis and nasal obstruction.Conclusion:This is the second report in the English-language literature of osteoblastoma originating from the bony nasal septum.

Strangulated lumbar hernia is a very rare condition, with no more than 30 cases reported in the literature so far. Therefore, there is no specific management guideline and the diagnosis remains difficult. By reporting the case of a Senegalese male patient who had a preoperative diagnosis of strangulated lumbar hernia, we aim to discuss the diagnosis and therapeutic modalities of this rare entity, which is often misdiagnosed.

Sterile neutrophilic folliculitis with vasculopathy is a rare entity histopathologically characterized by neutrophilic or suppurative and granulomatous folliculitis accompanied by a folliculocentric vasculopathy.1 It is described as a cutaneous manifestation of a systemic illness or infectious trigger, and its clinical features vary independently from the underlying medical illness.1 Prompt identification may uncover an underlying systemic disease. Due to the rarity of this clinical entity, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. We present a case of sterile neutrophilic folliculitis with vasculopathy in a 34-year-old male hospitalized for infective endocarditis.

Background: Mucocele is a benign cystic pseudo-tumor that develops within the sinus cavities. The most frequent locations are frontal and frontoethmoidal. The sphenoidal forms are rare. We report a case of sphenoidal mucocele revealed by bilateral exophthalmos. Methods and results: We report the case of a 14 year old male patient, without any particular pathological history, referred by his ophthalmologist for bilateral nasal obstruction, bilateral exophthalmos and visual acuity decrease evolving since one year. The ENT examination found a large, renitrant mass, filling the entire right nasal cavity. This mass pushed the nasal septum to the left. The CT scan showed a large sphenoidal, hypodense mass evoking a mucocele. The patient underwent endonasal marsupialization by endoscopic guidance. Conclusions: Sphenoidal mucocele is a rare cause of bilateral exophthalmos. The diagnosis can be misplaced when the signs are overt extra-sinus. Hence the interest of CT in order to eliminate other differential dignostics.
