Background: Pilomatrixoma , also known as Malherbes’s calcifying epithelioma, known to occur in children, is not common especially in middle aged and those below 10 years of age . Pilomatrixoma presents as a firm skin nodule on eye lid or eye brow, so should be considered in the differential diagnosis of such lesions involving eyelids. Case: A 45-year-old male presented with a swelling in the left upper lid for the last 4 months. There was firm to hard non tender nodule measuring 1.5 cm. x 1.5cm in size on the lateral aspect of the left upper eye lid , involving the lid margin with variegated appearance of overlying skin with a few ulcerated areas on the surface. A presumptive diagnosis of meibomian gland carcinoma was made and an excision biopsy with primary lid repair was carried out. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma. Conclusion: The present case is reported to sensitize the ophthalmologists to think beyond chalazion and meibomian gland carcinoma for a firm, nodular, non ulcerated, painless lid swelling. Key words: Pilomatrixoma; Malherbes's calcifying epithelioma; eyelid nodule  DOI: 10.3126/nepjoph.v3i1.4286Nepal J Ophthalmol 2011;3(5):88-90

Background: Haemangiomas are uncommon chest wall tumours arising outside the rib cage. Their occurrence in intercostal muscle is extremely rare. Aim: We describe a case of intercostal muscle cavernous haemangioma as a differential diagnosis for chest wall swelling. Case description: We describe an 18-year-old male patient with an asymptomatic left-sided chest wall swelling. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a well-defined homogenously non-enhancing mass lesion arising from the seventh intercostal muscle with differential diagnoses of various chest wall tumours. Clinical presentation and imaging findings were inconclusive, but histopathological examination following excision biopsy revealed a cavernous haemangioma. The present case emphasizes the importance of histopathological diagnosis when clinical and radiological examination is inconclusive. Hence, it is necessary to consider intercostal muscle haemangiomas as a differential diagnosis for chest wall tumours in the absence of a feeding vessel. Conclusion: Despite its rare occurrence, intercostal muscle haemangioma must be considered as a differential diagnosis in chest wall tumours even in the absence of a feeding vessel. We believe that histopathology can provide a definitive diagnosis when most investigative procedures are inconclusive.

Differential diagnosis of globus sensation in an otherwise asymptomatic patient should include hypopharyngeal fibrovascular polyp to avoid potentially fatal complications like airway compromise following regurgitation. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a 13-cm long hypopharyngeal fibrovascular polyp with 9 months history of globus sensation. A narrow stalk of the giant polyp allowed endoscopic removal and complete resection with the CO2 laser. Histopathological examination was conclusive for the fibrovascular polyp.

AbstractFibrosarcomas are malignant tumors of the connective tissue, which are characterized by proliferation of fibroblasts. Most of these tumors are localized subcutaneously and cause different symptoms depending on their location. The case report describes a dermal tumor on the outside of the pinna in a 7-year-old female Cashmere goat. The tumor was surgically removed and histopathological examination revealed a low grade fibrosarcoma. Although tumors are rare in ruminants because of the animals’ short lifespan (age of slaughtering in most cases < 24 months) in modern production processes, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Clinical Differential Diagnosis

Tuberculosis of the oral cavity which is an uncommon occurrence can be primary or secondary. In the absence of active pulmonary tuberculosis, isolated tonsillar tuberculosis is rare. Herein, we report two cases of bilateral tonsillar tuberculosis who presented as recurrent sore throat for which tonsillectomy was done. No active primary pulmonary lesion was found in these cases. Histopathological examination revealed caseating epithelioid granulomas with Langhans giant cells. Ziehl Neelson stain for acid fast bacilli was positive in one case. Tonsillar tuberculosis, though a rare entity, should be considered in the clinical differential diagnosis of tonsillar lesions. Histopathological examination with Ziehl Neelson stain should be performed for definite diagnosis.

Av Conduction

Aging effects on heart rate and atrioventricular (AV) conduction were studied in Langendorff-perfused hearts from 18 mature (4-6 mo), 12 middle-aged (12-14 mo), and 18 senescent (24-26 mo) Fischer 344 rats. Heart rate decreased with increasing age from 218 +/- 18 in mature to 196 +/- 27 (mean +/- SD) beats/min in middle-aged rats to 183 +/- 22 beats/min in senescent rats (analysis of variance, P less than 0.001). Spontaneous AV conduction time increased from 43 +/- 7 to 49 +/- 5 to 62 +/- 9 ms with aging (P less than 0.0001). Paced AV conduction time also lengthened with aging, and AV Wenckebach block cycle length increased from 122 +/- 10 to 133 +/- 9 to 152 +/- 16 ms (P less than 0.005). Intra-atrial conduction time was unaffected by age. Age differences in heart rate and AV conduction responses to isoproterenol (0.5 x 10(-9) to 1 x 10(-7) M) were noted with greater sensitivity at lower doses in hearts from younger rats. In separate experiments, 18 mature and 19 senescent Fischer 344 rats received reserpine (0.25 mg.kg-1.day-1 ip) for 6 days before study. Age differences in heart rate and AV conduction persisted (P less than 0.0001). Histopathological examination of AV nodal and His-bundle tissues in three hearts from each age group showed increased intercellular collagen with advancing age.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma

Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibromais a rare fibro-osseous tumor seen in children and adolescentand mostly arising from the cranio-facial bone.We report a case of 18-year-old boy who presented with diplopiaand progressive right fronto-orbital swelling. On plain radiograph and CT, it was diagnosed as fibrous dysplasiaand mucocele as differential diagnosis. The tumor was resected and histopathological examination showed psammomatoid features. Therefore, the diagnosis of Juvenile Psammomatoid Ossifying Fibroma must be based on both radiological and histopathological findings.
