The authors describe the case of a 44-year-old man with multilevel lumbar spinal Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD), a rare clinical entity. To the authors' knowledge, there have been only 2 cases of lumbar spinal involvement of RDD (epidural) reported in the literature, and the current case is the third but the only one showing lumbar spinal intradural involvement of RDD. This case of RDD mimicked a meningioma both clinically and radiologically. The patient underwent a procedure in which the tumor was excised, and postoperatively the patient made a clinically acceptable recovery. Vertebral canal involvement of RDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vertebral canal tumors. Resection is an acceptable treatment option.

Underlying Pathology

Isolated unilateral temporal muscle hypertrophy is a rarely reported clinical entity with an unclear etiology. Consideration of a broad differential diagnosis combined with a detailed histologic and radiologic work-up will help the physician diagnose the underlying pathology. We report a new case of this uncommon entity, and we review the pertinent literature.

ABSTRACT Oncogenic osteoblastoma is a rare clinical entity in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Its presentation is like a nasal polyp. One should keep the diagnosis of oncogenic osteoblastoma in mind as a differential diagnosis for mass in nasal cavity. Excessive bleeding during surgery should arouse the suspicion and the pathologist has to be sounded. A preliminary biopsy of the mass is to be considered. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) should be done, if the suspicion is strong.

Lung Hernia

Lung herniation (LH) is a rare clinical entity involving the protrusion of lung outside the thoracic cage. It has a variety of etiologies and clinical presentations, making diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a 20-year-old male who reported pleuritic pain after falling from a skateboard. Evaluation through computed tomography (CT) scanning of the chest revealed an anterior lung hernia associated with rib fractures. This case emphasizes the need for clinicians to include lung herniation in the differential diagnosis of patients with trauma and inexplicable or persistent pulmonary issues.

A cylindrical autogenous diaphyseal bone graft from the neighboring second and fifth metatarsals to correct brachymetatarsia of the third and fourth metatarsals was last described by Biggs in 1979. The authors present a literature review and case report for the treatment of the rare clinical entity of brachymetatarsia. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 91(7): 373-378, 2001)

Malignant Lesions

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a distinct non-malignant clinicopathological entity involving both nodal and extranodal tissue. Its clinical presentation can mimick other benign and malignant lesions. We report a lady presented with sinonasal mass suspicious of malignancy. Various investigation modalities were employed to achieve the diagnosis. She was managed conservatively and remained well. This report serves to highlight such rare clinical entity which follows a significantly different natural course than malignant disease despite sharing similar initial presentation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 04 October’18.
