Tuberculous osteomyelitis of mandible is an extremely rare condition, particularly in comparison to pyogenic infections and neoplastic diseases involving the mandible. Hereby we are reporting such type of case in a ten year old male, presented with draining sinus over right mandible since 3 months proved later as tuberculous osteomyelitis in absence of a primary focus and responded well to antitubercular treatment.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2017) Vol.05 No.01 Issue 15, Page: 59-62

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. Here, we report a case of 64 year old male patient with PG on midline of the dorsum of the posterior third of the tongue. Its differential diagnosis, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis and about the new approaches for its treatment is discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10619Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 84-86

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Association of hypercalcemia with SLE is very rare. Since initial report in 1991 only hand full cases have been described mainly in adult patients sporadically. Three pattern observed in this rare presentation. Commonly it is associated with serositis and lymphadenopathy or lymphedema known as hypercalcemia-lymphadenopathy SLE {HL-SLE) or hypercalcemia- lymphedema syndrome. Second group do not show this particular association. Concomitant primary hyperparathyroidism is responsible for third variety. This report describes a case of hypercalcemia associated with SLE from Bangladesh.

Crying with bloody tear, called haemolacria is a very rare condition in medical practice. There are many conditions such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, trauma (accidental or induced), factors deficiencies, infections (Epstein Barr virus or bacterial), tumours (malignant melanoma or haemangioma), conjunctival telangiectasia, Rendu-Oslar-Weber disease related to haemolacria. But idiopathic haemolacria may occur in some cases. In our case report, a 17-year-old girl presented with idiopathic bilateral haemolacria and gum bleeding associated with pseudoseizure and psychogenic hyperventilation who was treated and well responded to adequate counselling and Amitriptyline.

Actinomyces israelii is a gram-positive anaerobic organism commonly associated with canaliculitis in adults. Actinomyces are normal commensal bacteria in humans and primarily cause opportunistic infections during immunosuppressive state or when loss of continuity of epithelial lining in mucosa occurs. Lacrimal canaliculitis is a relatively rare condition and is undiagnosed for long periods of time. Being a relatively rare condition, it is commonly overlooked and undiagnosed for long periods of time. Primary chronic canaliculitis is an uncommon problem and Actinomycosis may form in up to 2% of all lacrimal disease. Here present study reports a case of lacrimal canaliculitis caused by Actinomyces israelii.

ABSTRACT Odontogenic fibromyxoma, a myxoma with abundant collagen fibers, is a rare benign tumor of jaw which mostly affects posterior part of mandible. It is ectomesenchymal in origin and probably arises from connective tissue of dental follicle or papilla. Commonly occurs in 2nd or 3rd decade with slight female predilection. Radiological investigations, such as conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to differentiate it from other odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma. Management is surgical by enucleation and curettage or by en bloc resection and segmental maxillectomy. Follow-up of patient is must for at least 2 years to diagnose any recurrence. In this article, we present fibromyxoma of maxilla which is a very rare site for occurrence of fibromyxoma and this relatively rare condition has been discussed in light of recent information from literature with a case report.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this report is to introduce a rare case in which an infected keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) was initially diagnosed and treated as a dentoalveolar abscess. Background Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a benign neoplasm that can be secondarily infected. However, cervical soft tissue abscess formation as a result of an infected odontogenic cyst or tumor is a rare condition few of which have only been described in the existing literature. Also, there has been a single report regarding the coincidence of a traumatic bone cyst and a keratocytic odontogenic tumor to date. Case report The patient was a 29-year-old male, complaining of fever, pain and swelling in the left submandibular region. The panoramic radiography showed a well-defined and partially corticated radiolucency between the roots of the second and third left mandibular molars. In addition, a well-corticated radiolucent lesion was incidentally found on the right side of the mandible, which, following surgical exploration, was diagnosed as a traumatic bone cyst. Conclusion In the present report, an infected KCOT manifested as a cervical abscess, coincided with a traumatic bone cyst. Clinical significance From the clinical point of view, it is of paramount significance to prevent misdiagnosis of similar presentations as pulp and periapical lesions, which may lead to mistreatment and thus complications.
