Primary localised amyloidosis of the urethra is a rare entity with only 50 cases reported in the literature. The deposition of fibrillary proteins can lead to a range of symptoms. Importantly, the clinical and cystoscopic features may mimic urethral malignancy (haematuria, voiding difficulties, and a palpable urethral mass), and so thorough investigation is required in order to exclude malignancy, and to identify features of generalised amyloidosis which has a poor prognosis. Once diagnosed the prognosis of localised amyloidosis is excellent, although disease recurrence is possible. We describe a case of primary localised urethral amyloidosis presenting with visible haematuria and a urethral stricture and reviewed the literature regarding management of this rare condition.

Strangulated lumbar hernia is a very rare condition, with no more than 30 cases reported in the literature so far. Therefore, there is no specific management guideline and the diagnosis remains difficult. By reporting the case of a Senegalese male patient who had a preoperative diagnosis of strangulated lumbar hernia, we aim to discuss the diagnosis and therapeutic modalities of this rare entity, which is often misdiagnosed.

<p>Signet ring cell appendiceal adenocarcinoma (SRCAA) is a rare entity with poor prognosis and high tendency for metastasis to pelvic lymph nodes, ovaries, and peritoneal surfaces. Despite numerous reports of intra-abdominal metastasis, there have been few reported cases of cutaneous SRCAA metastasis. We report a rare case of SRCAA metastatic to the cutaneous abdominal wall in a 67 years old female, which was first presenting sign of disease recurrence.</p>

Abstract Background Multiple small-bowel diverticulosis comprises a rare entity with probable underestimated incidence, and that may be the reason why it is sometimes overlooked when managing cases with peritonitis. Case report In the present paper, we report the case of a 76-year-old male presenting abdominal pain and fever in an acute setting. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed jejunal thickening and numerous images of saccular addition that were interpreted as jejunoileal diverticulitis. After an initial period of clinical treatment, surgical management was indicated based on a worsening clinical picture and the presence of an extraluminal focus of gas detected in a subsequent CT scan. Through a laparoscopic approach, multiple small-bowel diverticula and a tamponade perforation were found. A segmental intestinal resection was performed, and the patient was discharged after a ten days. Conclusions Multiple jejunal diverticulosis is a rare condition that should be remembered in the setting of an acute abdomen. As it prevails among older patients, early diagnosis with radiological aid is crucial to establish the most adequate management, including intestinal resection, if necessary.

Collagenous sprue (CS) is a distinct clinicopathological disorder histologically defined by a thickened subepithelial band (Freeman, 2011). It is a rare condition which has been recently observed in a significant proportion of sprue-like enteropathy associated with olmesartan, a novel entity described by Rubio-Tapia et al. in 2012. CS is historically associated with a poor prognosis (Marthey et al., 2014). However, histological and clinical improvements have been described in most studies with concomitant usage of corticosteroids and/or gluten-free diet (Marthey et al., 2014). We report a unique case of olmesartan-induced collagenous sprue in a 79-year-old man that showed complete histological and clinical remission with the sole withdrawal of the incriminating drug. The literature on this topic is briefly reviewed.

Review Of The Literature

AbstractObjective:The authors present an extremely rare case of carcinoma of the tympanic membrane.Method:A case report and review of the literature concerning carcinoma of the tympanic membrane and temporal bone are presented and discussed.Results:The authors present a patient with recurrent otorrhoea and an abnormal tympanic membrane. Biopsy was inconclusive, but resection demonstrated squamous cell carcinoma of the tympanic membrane. We also discuss the investigation, diagnosis, natural history and management of this rare condition, as well as the staging and management of tumours of the temporal bone and the differences between these closely related but prognostically different entities.Conclusion:This rare entity can be managed by primary surgical resection if there is no evidence of metastasis.

Penile ossification is an exceedingly rare condition, with only a handful of histologically confirmed cases reported in the literature.  The most common condition leading to penile ossification is Peyronie’s disease.  Other conditions such as gout, ERSD, diabetes mellitus, hyperparathyroidism, and local trauma have also been associated with penile ossification.  We report a unique case of near-complete penile ossification of the corporal bodies with histologic confirmation on pathologic review.  Our report summarizes the literature regarding this rare entity.

Scrotal calcinosis is a benign condition where multiple calcified nodules are found within the dermis of the scrotal skin. It is a rare condition which is usually asymptomatic and has no clear aetiology although several theories have been proposed in the aetiopathogenesis. We report a 55-year-old man with extensive scrotal calcinosis. Surgical excision of the affected scrotal skin was curative.

We report a case of 45yr old lady who presented with the complain of vaginal bleeding since two months and was a known case of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Postoperative histopathological examination of the hysterectomy specimen revealed the diagnosis of uterine carcinosarcoma.

Background. Multifocal osteosarcoma is usually described as the occurrence of the tumour at two or more sites in a patient without pulmonary metastases and may be synchronous or metachronous. Case report. A previously well 21-year old male, who presented with a swollen, painful right knee with no history of trauma, was found to have a high-grade osteosarcoma of the distal tibia and proximal femur. He underwent resection and prosthetic replacement of the distal femur and proximal tibia and remains well 19 months after diagnosis. Discussion. Multifocal osteosarcoma is a rare condition with a poor prognosis. There is debate about whether it represents multiple primary tumours or metastatic disease.

Appropriate Treatment

Acrometastasis is an exceedingly rare condition and is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. We herein describe a 50-year-old patient who developed acrometastasis in the big toe from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The treatment consisted of amputation through the proximal phalanx, and the patient recovered well. To our knowledge, only one case of acrometastasis from this origin has been reported in the literature to date. Acrometastasis indicates a poor prognosis, and we should choose appropriate treatment to relieve symptoms and benefit the patient.
