Rare Presentation

Lingual hematoma is a rare cause of airway compromise and is usually seen secondary to use of anticoagulants, which exerts effects on coagulation cascade, and also causes thrombocytopenia. The patient in this case report presents with a lingual hematoma which is not related to the use of any anticoagulants. Luckily, the hematoma did not enlarge enough to cause obstruction of airway requiring tracheotomy. However, the cause of the hematoma is deduced to be due to husk - injuring the tongue mucosa. This case is unique in its rare presentation as well as the cause for the hematoma in our report has never been reported in literature.

ABSTRACT Introduction Lichen planus is an inflammatory pathology which most commonly involves the mucocutaneous junction of oral cavity. It has been reported in many other sites of the body extending from eye to the urogenital system. Diagnosis is achieved combinely with clinical picture and histopathological findings. The treatment mainly involves systemic therapy with corti costeroids and regular periodic follow-up. It is rare but malig nant transformation has been suggested at some sites. Case report However, it is extremely rare in larynx and this case report seems to be the first case presenting with a combination of airway compromise due to laryngeal involvement with presence of cutaneous and oral lesions. Conclusion The above case report is presented in context of developing insights about etiopathogenesis, clinical features and management of laryngeal lichen planus.

Rare Presentation

The coexistence of epidermal cysts and lipomas at the same site is extremely rare, although epidermal cysts and lipomas are both common benign skin tumors. We present a rare case of an epidermal cyst with underlying lipoma on the back. This case report may simply be a result of coincidence, but the possibility of underlying subcutaneous tumors should be considered before epidermal cyst surgery.

Uncommon Tumor

Abstract Nodular hidradenoma is an uncommon cutaneous adnexal tumor arising from sweat glands. In the skin, it usually presents as a solitary dermal nodule; excision is curative in most cases. In rare instances, it may present as a breast mass and can mimic breast carcinoma clinically and radiologically, causing diagnostic dilemmas for the treating physician and pathologist. Herein, we discuss a case of nodular hidradenoma in a 20-year-old Hispanic woman as a rapidly growing mass in the breast that mimicked breast carcinoma. We discuss the rare presentation of this uncommon tumor and the differential diagnosis of this entity, as well as the results of our literature review on the topic.

Abstract Background This case report demonstrates pericardial effusion, acute pericarditis, and cardiac tamponade in an otherwise healthy woman who had a positive test result for coronavirus disease 2019. Few case reports have been documented on patients with this presentation, and it is important to share novel presentations of the disease as they are discovered. Case presentation A Caucasian patient with coronavirus disease 2019 returned to the emergency department of our hospital 2 days after her initial visit with worsening chest pain and shortness of breath. Imaging revealed new pericardial effusion since the previous visit. The patient became hypotensive, was taken for pericardial window for cardiac tamponade with a drain placed, and was treated for acute pericarditis. Conclusion Much is still unknown about the implications of coronavirus disease 2019. With the novel coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, research is still in process, and we are slowly learning about new signs and symptoms of the disease. This case report documents a lesser-known presentation of a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 and will help to further understanding of a rare presentation.
