Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor. It is locally invasive and unlimited growth capacity, with a propensity for recurrence if not entirely excised. The therapeutic challenge in this type of tumors is to have an adequate resection with a wide margin of normal tissue but also a functional and aesthetically acceptable reconstruction of the residual defect. The role of radiotherapy is currently demonstrated in inoperable cases. We are reporting a case of a 45 years-old male patient with large ameloblastoma of the mandible recurrent 10 years after surgical resection. The patient benefited from exclusive radiotherapy at a dose of 60 Gy.

Study performed surveillance endoscopy in a 23-year-old male patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) who underwent right hemicolectomy with ileo-colic anastamosis for ileo-colic intussusception three years back. On evaluation, he found to have multiple upper gastrointestinal and ileal polyps. Subsequently he underwent polypectomies in three sessions by combined standard snare polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) method without any complication. We present a case report that emphasizes the importance of surveillance and the role of prophylactic polypectomy in patients with PJS.

We present a case of a 73-year-old male patient with progressive dysphagia, and hoarseness (irritability in the throat). He was studied with the appropriate imaging techniques, and esophagoscopy led to a diagnosis of extrinsic esophageal dysphagia for osteophyte obstruction of the cervical spine due to the arthrosis. A surgical resection was performed, without complications. Some considerations are given on this theme.

Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) is a rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma, occurs in young adults. It presents with vague symptoms and diagnosed by imaging and biopsy. The treatment is surgery. We report a case of 15 years old male patient who was diagnosed with (FL-HCC) and treated with surgical resection.

A pharyngeal recess cyst is a benign lesion, located at the nasopharyngeal recess with limited development. Pharyngeal recess cysts rarely occur. This case report describes a young male patient presenting with a foreign body sensation in the pharynx. Electronic nasopharyngoscope examination revealed a large nasopharyngeal cyst, whose root was located in the left pharyngeal recess. Complete surgical resection was performed, and the patient successfully recovered. Pharyngeal recess cysts are rare lesions that can be diagnosed based on imaging and endoscopy findings. It is treated surgically and has a favorable prognosis.

Radiation-associated sarcomas are rare and aggressive types of sarcomas that can occur after exposure to ionizing radiation. We examine a case of radiation-associated undifferentiated/unclassified soft-tissue sarcoma with primary disease in the chest wall. The optimal treatment of these patients is surgical resection if possible; however, the role of chemotherapy has not been well defined. The patient described herein had a central tumor in the chest wall. Since many of these patients have borderline resectable tumors, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be helpful to downstage the tumors for possible surgical resection. In this case, doxorubicin plus ifosfamide chemotherapy was employed with a favorable therapeutic effect prior to being resected. To our knowledge this is the first report of greater than 90% necrosis in a patient with radiation-associated undifferentiated/unclassified soft-tissue sarcoma treated with chemotherapy for a borderline resectable mass.

Avabahuka is one of the diseases which involve the neuromuscular system. Pain and restricted movement in the shoulder joint is the main symptom that makes the patient seek the help of physicians. Ayurveda considers this under Vatayadhi. Avabahuka Chikitsa in Ayurveda has good relief for the patients suffering from the disease. A Male patient of age 70 yrs. approached D.G.M Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital with pain restricted movement and stiffness in the Rt. Shoulder for 6 days and diagnosed as Avbahuka. The patient was subjected to the Patrapottali Sweda along with the Shamana Yogas. After the treatment, the stiffness of the joint was reduced. The patient got moderate relief from the pain. This Keralaiya Chikitsa Paddati is more convenient in relieving the symptoms compared to the modern system of medicine.
