Large Animals

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

Oral ulceration is a common condition that can affect the oral mucosa, and patients often present in both primary and secondary care. There are a number of causes of oral ulceration, ranging from trauma to malignancy. The cause of the oral ulceration can be difficult to establish, especially when the history and investigations do not support an obvious cause. We report a case of a 19-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of worsening oral ulceration. Despite further questioning and investigations, the cause of the oral ulceration remained elusive. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To understand the clinical presentation and causes of oral ulceration.

AbstractPituicytoma is a rare tumor that arises from the glial cells of the neurohypophysis. For a long time, it was believed that pituicytomas only appeared in adults. Currently, at least three cases of this entity occurring in children have been reported in the literature. The aim of the present report is to describe the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department with visual disturbances, and the diagnosis was a recurrent pituicytoma. Therefore, the clinical presentation, the radiological features of the tumor, and the corresponding surgical management are described. Additionally, a brief review of the management of this unusual entity was performed.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor found in approximately 2 individuals per million of the population. In 90% of cases, it arises from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. These cells secrete catecholamines: epinephrine and norepinephrine which have a sympathomimetic action. The classical clinical presentation is paroxysms of extreme elevation of systemic blood pressure. Although pheochromocytoma accounts for only 0.1 % of cases of systemic hypertension, it is important to make the diagnosis, as the sudden release of large quantities of catecholamines into the circulation may prove fatal, as happened in our patient.We present a case of a 25 year old woman, who collapsed suddenly, while she was feeding her 8 month old baby. She went into ventricular fibrillation and was defibrillated 3 times. There was no response to vigorous resuscitative measures.Past Medical History: No definitive findings. Vague history of palpitations and an “abnormal heart beat”, which had been considered to be benign.

Background: Keratoderma is a group of conditions characterized by hyperkeratosis affecting the skin on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands bilaterally. The classification of keratodermas depends on whether it is inherited or acquired and on its clinical features, including diffuse or focal involvement of the skin and the morphology of lesions present. Case Report: We describe the rare case of a 54-year-old female who presented with a nearly 40-year history of punctate keratoderma on her right palm and sole. History taking revealed that her biologic son also has unilateral left-sided keratoderma. The clinical presentation of unilateral keratoderma has been reported only four times in the literature.

Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumor. The most common localization of mesothelioma is pleura. It rarely arises from the peritoneum. It has been suggested that familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) may cause the development of peritoneal mesothelioma. We describe a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a hemodialysis patient with FMF. The patient was a 56 year old female. A history of FMF was present since her childhood. She did not use colchicine and suffered from recurrent ascites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the seventh case of FMF diagnosed as having malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in the medical literature.

Introduction. Primary hypopharynx involvement of small cell carcinoma is very rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx in a male patient.Case Report. A 50-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of sore throat and swellings in the right side of the neck. Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx located in the right pyriform sinus.Discussion. Small cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx has no clear treatment modality due to the rarity of the disease. Systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy should have priority among the therapy regimens because of the high metastatic potential of the tumor.

Abstract We present a case of falcine chondrosarcoma in a 58-year-old man. Only a few other examples of chondrosarcomas in this location and a total of approximately 50 intracranial cases have been reported. Because its rarity prevents any group of neurosurgeons from collecting a large experience in managing this tumor, we reviewed descriptions of previous cases to determine the natural history of intracranial chondrosarcomas. The distinguishing features of this rare tumor are compared with previous examples of intracranial tumors derived from cartilage and more common tumors in the parasagittal region, such as meningioma.

Combined pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) and ganglioglioma (GG) is an extremely rare tumor, with fewer than 20 cases reported. The authors report a case of combined PXA-GG in an 18-year-old man with a history of seizures. The tumor showed necrosis and the BRAF V600E mutation on histological examination, with no evidence of tumor recurrence 1 year after gross-total resection. The BRAF V600E mutation was present, which suggests that both cell lineages may share a common cellular origin.
