Choristoma is a tumor like mass consisting of tissues foreign to the site at which they are located. We report a 39-year-old female who presented to our out-patient department with history of pain and burning sensation in the throat. On examination of the tonsils, bilateral keratosis was present. Histological examination demonstrated the unexpected presence of mature hyaline cartilage surrounded by lymphoid follicles. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/acclm.v1i1.12316 Ann. Clin. Chem. & Lab.

The Right

A 67-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of pain in his right buttock and lower limb. MRI depicted right L5/S1 lateral recess stenosis requiring surgical treatment; however, preoperative CT showed an approximately 7 cm long, thin, rod-shaped structure in the rectum, which was ultimately determined to be an accidentally ingested toothpick. It was removed surgically 6 days after diagnosis, because right leg pain worsened rapidly. The pain disappeared thereafter, and the symptoms have not recurred since. The pain might have been localised to the right buttock and posterior thigh in the early stages because the fine tip of the toothpick was positioned to the right of the anterior ramus of the S2 spinal nerve. Although sacral plexus disorder caused by a rectal foreign body is extremely rare, physicians should be mindful to avoid misdiagnosis.

Proteinuria is one of the most typical manifestations of kidney involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). We report the case of a 23-year-old woman with a 6-year-long history of SLE presenting with proteinuria after a three-year remission on hydroxychloroquine. Kidney histological examination showed alterations inconsistent with lupus nephritis and suggestive of hydroxychloroquine toxicity or Fabry disease. The latter was confirmed by genetic assay.

Learning Points

A de Garengeot hernia is defined as an incarcerated femoral hernia containing the vermiform appendix. We describe the case of a patient with a type 4 appendiceal diverticulum within a de Garengeot hernia and delineate valuable learning points.A 76-year-old woman presented with a 2-week history of a non-reducible painless femoral mass. Outpatient ultrasonography demonstrated a 36mm × 20mm smooth walled, multiloculated, partially cystic lesion anterior to the right inguinal ligament in keeping with an incarcerated femoral hernia. Intraoperatively, the appendix was found to be incarcerated in the sac of the femoral hernia and appendicectomy was performed. Histopathology demonstrated no evidence of inflammation in the appendix. However, an incidental appendiceal diverticulum was identified.It is widely recognised that a de Garengeot hernia may present with concomitant appendicitis, secondary to raised intraluminal pressure in the incarcerated appendix. Appendiceal diverticulosis is also believed to develop in response to raised pressure in the appendix and may therefore develop secondary to incarceration in a de Garengeot hernia. To our knowledge, only one such case has been described in the literature. A de Garengeot hernia is a rare entity, which poses significant diagnostic challenges. A high index of clinical suspicion is necessary as these hernias are at particularly high risk of perforation and so prompt surgical management is paramount.

Carcinoma Of The Bladder

Mullerian neoplasms of the urinary system are rare but complex tumor-like lesions. The identification of the Mullerian neoplasm is crucial for patient management owing to its etiology, natural history, and prognosis. We present a case of a 42-year-old female with a history of three lower segment cesarean sections presenting with complaints of dysmenorrhea and suprapubic pain with no history of hematuria or any urinary symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 2 cm×2 cm exophytic lesion suspicious of being either a bladder lesion or an endometrial lesion infiltrating the urinary bladder. Cystoscopy and transurethral biopsy of this suspicious bladder tumor revealed a malignant tumor with papillary and tubulocystic architecture. Based on the overall histomorphological and immunohistochemical features, a diagnosis of clear cell carcinoma of Mullerian origin was made, and the patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and partial cystectomy. The patient was kept on regular surveillance and showed no signs of recurrence at the one-year follow-up. Clear cell carcinoma of the bladder of Mullerian origin is a rare entity and is established on histopathology. Prompt diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are indispensable for management. Level of evidence: Level 4.

CASE HISTORY G.R. is a 7-year-old boy with spastic quadriplegia evident since birth and a seizure disorder for which he currently is being treated with phenobarbitol and phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin). His medical history includes a pathologic fracture of his right femur. At the time of his fracture, a radiograph of his femur was described as "markedly osteoporotic." He is currently being treated with 1200 IU of vitamin D. His diet as presented is balanced with respect to nutrients. Although spillage is not substantial, eating requires great effort, and each meal lasts approximately 1 hour. He is fed breakfast and supper at home by his mother and lunch in school. There is no history of pain with food intake, no vomiting, and no diarrhea. He weighs 14 kg (far below the 5th percentile), and his length is 112 (at the 5th percentile). His weight for height is far less than the 5th percentile. His mother is 157.5 cm (5 ft 2 in) tall and his father is 167.5 cm (5 ft 6 in) tall. His midarm circumference is 154 mm (less than the 5th percentile), his triceps skinfold is 5 mm (5th percentile), and his midarm muscle circumference is 138 mm (less than the 5th percentile).

Abstract We present the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with medication-resistant chronic bilateral nasal obstruction. The patient had no known history of allergy or any other disease. Nasal septoplasty was performed to relieve his symptoms. Histologically, thick collagen bundles were seen, characteristically whorling around vessels in a fibrotic stroma. Inflammatory cells, rich in eosinophils, were scattered throughout the lesion. No granulomas, necrosis, or vessel destruction were present. A diagnosis of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis was made. This neoplasm, which has very characteristic histologic features, is a rare entity of the sinonasal tract.

Abstract   This is a video submission of a laparoscopic resection of an epiphrenic oesophageal pulsion diverticulum secondary to achalasia. A Heller’s cardiomyotomy is also performed together with a Toupet fundoplication. Methods The patient is a 40 year old woman with a 12 month history of worsening dysphagia, reflux symptoms, as well as occasional regurgitation of food, worse at night. Barium swallow showed a distal oesophageal diverticulum and oesophageal manometry confirmed type 1 achalasia. Upper GI endoscopy showed no other intra-luminal findings. Results The patient underwent a laparoscopic resection of the diverticulum, together with a Heller’s cardiomyotomy and Toupet fundoplication. There were no post-operative complications. She remains well and asymptomatic at 9 month follow-up. Conclusion Pulsion diverticula secondary to achalasia are a known but rare entity. A few variations exist on how to manage this condition surgically, especially with respect to the type of fundoplication. We present our preferred technique for dealing with this condition.
