Abstract Hydatid disease (HD) is an infection with the metacestode stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus. It is commonly seen in South America, The Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, Africa and China. Hydatid cysts usually affect the liver followed by the lungs. Involvement in other organs has been reported. However, in the majority of the cases, cysts are localized in one organ or one region. We report a rare case of a 36-year-old woman who presented to the hospital in Syria with long-standing history of non-specific abdominal pain. Computerized tomography showed several hydatid cysts in the liver, spleen, left lung, mediastinum (adjacent to the aortic arch), both breasts and above the right gluteal muscles.

<p>Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion commonly seen in the head and neck regions. It is considered as a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that requires surgical excision. COF has traditionally been considered to be slow growing. We report a case of 11 year-old girl who presented to the ENT Department of our hospital with 7 months history of nasal obstruction, proptosis and headache. Computed Tomography scan images showed a mass in the right nasal cavity. This case is notable because involvement of the sphenoid sinus is rare. </p>

AbstractBackgroundAn astroblastoma is a rare primary glial tumour occurring preferentially in young adults. It is characterised by a perivascular arrangement of tumour cells forming perivascular pseudorosettes mimicking ependymomas. The histogenesis of astroblastoma is unclear.Case descriptionWe present the history of a 13-year-old girl with chief complaints of headache associated with vomiting, blurring of vision on the left eye and a history of diplopia on the right eye. She underwent left parietal parasagittal craniotomy and near-total excision of tumour. She was planned for postoperative radiotherapy 5,940 cGy in 28 fractions along with concurrent temozolamide100 mg. She had no neurological deficit or complaints during her last visit.ConclusionAstroblastomas are a distinct clinic pathologic entity, with well-described radiologic, pathologic and cytogenetic features. Its recurrence is high, and efforts must be made to elucidate the role and usefulness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in these tumours.

Introduction: Buccal exostosis is bony prominence located on buccal side of alveolar ridge of maxilla or mandible. It is commonly seen in maxilla than mandible, whereas the etiology remains unclear. This article presents a rare case of bilateral maxillary buccal exostosis, distomolars and polydactyly along with surgical management of exostosis.Case Report: A 39-year-old Yemeni male patient came to the dental OPD with a chief complain of swelling in the right and left back region of upper jaw from 12 years, which was a cosmetic concern to the patient. Patient was medically healthy with no familial history of gingival overgrowth. On examination, patient had polydactyly and bilateral mandibular distomolars. These isolated findings couldn’t be related to any syndrome after thorough examination and medical consultation. Finally, the treatment plan consisted of, oral hygiene instructions, mechanical debridement and periodontal resective osseous surgery, so as to reduce gingival inflammation and improve esthetic by removing the exostosis. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy alone did not reduce the gingival enlargement because of the bony nature of enlargement, thus necessitating surgical intervention.Conclusion: Post-operative evaluation at 1, 3 and 12 months reveled an uneventful healing and no sign of recurrence at surgical sites.

Introduction. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women and the main leading cause of cancer death. The most frequent sites of metastases from breast cancer are bones, lungs, the central nervous system, the liver and soft tissue. Colonic metastases from breast cancer are rare. Case report. We presented a 70-year-old woman with bulky obstructing lesion of sigmoid colon. A physician in charge on our department examined the patient and past history of breast cancer was found up. Surgery was performed with removal of sigmoid colon and three of six lymph nodes were positive. Pathological examination, including immunohistochemical stains, confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer to sigmoid colon. The multidisciplinary oncology team suggested postoperative chemotherapy. The patient received four cycles of chemotherapy with paclitaxel followed by anastrozole. On the first control visit no disease activity was detected. Conclusion. In patients with the past history of breast cancer the symptoms of hematochezia or anemia may indicate colonic metastases.

A 13 year adolescent boy presented with complaints of progressive loss of speech and seizure disorder for the past 1 year. The boy was developmently normal before the onset of illness. There was history of subtle trauma to head. He started communicating with signs followed by paucity of speech progressed to complete aphasia and abnormal behavior in the form of burst of aggressiveness and hyperactivity. Boy had partial, generalized tonic-clonic seizures occurred during sleep. Mental status examination revealed abnormal behaviour, attention deficits, auditory agnosia and aphasia (both expressive and receptive). All relevant investigations including BERA were normal. EEG showed repetitive spikes and wave activity in bilateral parietooccipital regions during nonrapid eye movement. Clinical features and EEG led to a diagnosis of Landau Kleffner Syndrome. He was started on Lamotrigine, steroid and speech therapy. The boy started showing improvement of symptoms in form of understanding of short sentences.

Introduction: Polypoidal cystitis is a rare lesion of the bladder mucosa characterized by benign exophytic inflammation,epithelial proliferation and development of polypoid mass without evidence of neoplasm histologically. Polypoid cystitis is rarely seen in patient without prolong used of indwelling catheter. Other cases of polypoidal cystitis are associated with post-radiation, post chemotherapy bladder reaction, colovesicular fistula are extremely rare. Case Report: 66 year old Malay male ,underlying hypertension and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) on treatment, complaining of difficulty in urination, straining on voiding  for the past 6 months and on and off  hematuria for the past 2 months. He denied any history of CBD insertion or prolong cataheterization. Blood investigations are Normal. X-Ray KUB showed unremarkable. Ultrasound KUB revealed Prostatomegaly, no evidence of renal or ureteric calculi or evidence of Obstructive uropathy,No obvious bladder mass. Cystoscopy Examination (CE)  showed enlarged occlusive prostate and noted bladder growth at base of bladder. The growth is malignant looking however no active bleeding seen. No bladder stone seen. Patient subsequently underwent TransUrethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) and Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) in same setting. Intra operatively was uneventful. HistoPathological Examination (HPE) from TURBT specimens showed in favour of Polypoidal Cystitis and  TURP revealed Nodular Hyperplasia. Discussion: Polypoidal Cystitis is a form or chronic cystitis characterized by exophytic inflammatory   lesion of bladder mucosa. The polypoidal mass is mimicking neoplasm. At the initial evaluation, it may be confused with transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, especially in patient without an indwelling catheter. The most common aetiology of this condition is long-standing indwelling catheterization.. There is also  reported that any factors that irritates the bladder mucosa may result in Polypoidal Cystitis.  In our patient ,there was no history of such other causes, including prolong catheterization, fistula, urinary calculi or radiation therapy.
