Cavernoma is benign tumour of the orbit. It results in proptosis, visual disturbance, diplopia and ptosis of the eye. It is amenable to surgery and this results in complete after surgical removal without recurrence. We report a case of right orbital cavernoma in a female, who presented with non-pulsatile painless proptosis, slight ptosis and double vision while looking at the right side. Her MRI revealed that she had a cavernoma of the right orbit. She was operated by the lateral orbitotomy. This easily removed the tumour, cosmetically acceptable and she became symptom free. Bang.

Authors of this report describe a Fukushima Type D(b) or Kawase Type ME2 trigeminal schwannoma involving the right maxillary division in a 59-year-old woman who presented with intermittent right-sided facial numbness and pain. This tumor was successfully resected via a right lateral orbitotomy without the need for craniotomy. This novel approach to a lesion of this type has not yet been described in the scientific literature. The outcome in this case was good, and the patient's intra- and postoperative courses proceeded without complication. The epidemiology of trigeminal schwannomas and some technical aspects of lateral orbitotomy, including potential advantages of this approach over traditional transcranial as well as fully endoscopic dissections in appropriately selected cases, are also briefly discussed.

AbstractOrbital varices are abnormally enlarged, thin walled veins in direct connection with normal orbital vessels. Stooping, bending, coughing or straining increase the venous tension and in this way can cause symptoms, such as bulging of the eyes (proptosis), orbital pain, bleeding, intermittent double vision. Small varices are managed by observation while larger lesions may require surgery. In our case report we demonstrate the case of a 72-year-old female patient with right sided retro-orbital pressure sensation for weeks, and exophthalmos with blurred vision for 1 week. MR investigation proved the presence of a partially thrombosed orbital varix on the right side, and a smaller, non-thrombosed varix on the left side. Observation was agreed, and the symptoms resolved spontaneously after several weeks.

This case report is about a seven-year-old male neutered European Shorthair cat infected by Dirofilaria immitis as the first reported autochthonous Dirofilaria immitis infection in Austria. There was no history of periods abroad. Echocardiography showed suspected D. immitis in the right cardiac chamber with increased pulmonary pressure and ascites. Surgical removal of the heartworms was performed. Twenty adult heartworms were removed by transvenous jugular approach under general anesthesia and stored in 4% formalin. Five out of 20 specimens were examined via light and stereomicroscopy and feline heartworm infection was confirmed. Amplification of a 203 bp or 724 bp fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene was unsuccessful. After surgery the cat developed acute renal failure but recovered quickly. One year later, the cat underwent a control examination including echocardiography and blood work. There were no more D. immitis detectable at echocardiography. Lung pressure was mildly increased. Complete blood count and creatinine were unremarkable. The Knott’s test and Dirofilaria-Antigen-test produced negative results. The cat did not show any clinical signs during the follow-up period. The aim of this case report is to highlight the growing risk of acquiring infection with D. immitis not only for Austrian dogs, but also for cats. This case report represents the first report of autochthonous D. immitis infection in Austria. Moreover, even if the prognosis in cats with caval syndrome due to feline heartworm disease is guarded to poor, surgical removal of the filariae can be a successful treatment option.

Introduction: Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma (PRMC) and its malignant variant – cystadenocarcinoma are extremely rare tumors known only from case studies and reviews. PRMC is a cystic tumor of the retroperitoneum, which remains asymptomatic for a long time and can reach significant proportions. It occurs mainly in women. Case report: We present the case of a 38-year-old healthy woman with diagnosed resistance in the right mesogastrium during a c-section. The delivery was terminated without a surgical intervention. The above mentioned resistance was examined further by ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. All imaging examinations showed a solid – cystic bilocular expansion, which looked like a mesenteric cyst in the right paracolic area. The patient was asymptomatic at all times, with only a palpable resistance of the abdominal wall. In November 2020, the patient underwent an elective surgery – extirpation of the cystic tumor and prophylactic appendectomy. The operation was performed classically, via midline laparotomy without perioperative perforation of the cystic tumor and without complications in the postoperative period. The histopathological examination showed a malignant variant of PRMC. So far, the patient remains free of any problems and is followed at the department of oncology. Conclusion: The goal of treatment is to achieve complete surgical removal of the tumor without its perioperative perforation. Due to the rare occurrence of the disease, there are no guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of PRMC. Precisely because PRMC is a rare tumor, it should be part of the differential diagnosis of cystic tumors of the retroperitoneum, especially when young women are concerned.

Kidney Metastasis

Choriocarcinoma is a rare malignant disease that is usually associated with a gestational event. Kidney metastasis might be misdiagnosed as renal cell carcinoma or kidney abscess. To the best of our knowledge, only 13 cases of cutaneous metastasis of choriocarcinoma have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of choriocarcinoma that manifested with multiple metastases to the lung, skin, kidney and brain. Case report: We reported a case of a 37-year-old woman with a history of hydatiform mole, with symptoms of renal colic and abnormal findings on the skin. Chest X-ray revealed visible focal change 80 mm in diameter, located in the left lung area. The CT exposed in both kidneys multiple hypodense foci, 32 mm in size, suggesting multifocal abscesses with disruptions and perforation to paranephric area. Due to the presence of and temporary loss of vision in the right eye head CT was performed revealing metastatic changes in the brain. The diferential diagnosis between renal cancer, lung carcinoma and choriocarcinoma was achieved only after surgical removal skin lesion. This was the first time in our experience with choriocarcinoma. Immunohistochemically, the analysis was positive for beta hCG, cytokeratin AE1/AE, CK 8/18, CD10, EMA, alfa 1-inhibin and negative for protein 63, CD30 and CD117. Serum hCG level was 394590,0 mIU/mL. Conclusions: Choriocarcinoma should be taken into consideration when associated symptoms and significantly elevated blood levels of β-hCG were identified.

AbstractIntroduction:It is rare for isolated sphenoid sinusitis to cause orbital cellulitis. We present a rare case of posterior orbital cellulitis, so caused, together with a review of the relevant literature.Case report:A 29-year-old woman presented with a 6-week history of progressive, unilateral, retro-orbital and periorbital right eye pain. On examination, the only finding was reduced visual acuity in the right eye. A computed tomography scan demonstrated right frontal and sphenoid sinus opacification. Sphenoidotomy and frontal sinus trephination were subsequently performed, following failure to respond to intravenous antibiotics. After surgery, the patient's vision returned to normal.Conclusion:Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is rare but can cause significant visual disturbance and permanent loss of vision. Vague symptoms unsupported by clinical signs at presentation are a feature of posterior orbital cellulitis. The presented case highlights the problem, and the need for a high index of clinical suspicion even in the absence of firm clinical signs, in order to prevent permanent visual loss.

Lipoblastoma of the hand is a rare benign tumour of infancy. Although benign, the tumour can present as a large mass. We present a case of a two-year-old female with a large, slowly growing soft tissue mass between the second and third metacarpal of the right hand. After excision of the mass, the deep transverse metacarpal ligament (DTML) was reconstructed using a free tendon graft from the extensor indicis propius (EIP).

Pleomorphic adenomas are benign tumour of the salivary glands that mostly affect the parotid gland. The tumor's "pleomorphic" form can be explained by its epithelial and connective tissue origins. Females between the ages of 30 and 50 are more likely to get the tumour. The tumour usually presents as asymptomatic swelling that progresses slowly. The majority of treatment is surgical removal of the tumour mass, with special attention paid to preserving the facial nerve. This is a case report of a 42-year-old female patient who had a pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland. On the right side of the face, the patient had a slowly growing asymptomatic swelling. Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest salivary gland tumor characterized by  diverse  histomorphological  features.  Early diagnosis and treatment plan entails thorough history taking, clinical examination, coupled with radiographic and histopathological findings.

AbstractThe case of a male child with a benign neurogenic laryngeal tumour caused by von Recklinghausen's disease is presented. At the age of eight years, tracheostomy was necessary. The tumour, deforming the right half of the larynx and extending into the right half of the neck, was removed three years later. Following this procedure, decannulation was possible, and the patient has been free of laryngological complaints for six years.Attention is drawn to the fact that autosomal dominantly inherited neurofibromatosis is a generalized benign tumour with a special form. If it involves any vital structure or forms a functional obstacle, meticulous surgical removal is necessary, and this provides good prospects over a long period.

Ossification of the Achilles tendon is a rare condition. We recently treated a patient with ossification of bilateral Achilles tendons. The patient was a 50 year old male whose chief complaint was discomfort around the Achilles tendon. He had a previous history of treatment of bilateral club feet On the roentgenograms, the length of the bony mass in the Achilles tendon was 5.5 cm on the right side and 1.5 cm on the left side. The left side was treated by surgical removal of a bony mass and suture of the tendon. Microscopic examination of the extirpated specimen revealed bone formation through enchondral and intramembranous ossification in the Achilles tendon.
