Epidermal Inclusion cyst of male breast is a rare condition  as reported in the literatures.  We had a young male patient who presented with a recurrent  breast lump. This case had a number of conflicting  diagnostic movements before being confirmed by  histopathological examination of the excised lump to be  Epidermal Inclusion cyst. The patient was found to be  healthy at follow up after three months   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbcps.v30i2.11411   J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2012; 30: 96-97

Epidermal cysts are congenital lesions that originate from embryonal tissue remnants. It requires histopathology for its diagnosis. In this case, we report a young male with no comorbidities presenting with perianal swelling. He was evaluated and taken up for surgery. Post operative period was uneventful and he was discharged on 2nd post operative day. He is doing well at 4 months of follow up.

Actinomycosis is an infection characterized by abscess formation, draining sinuses, and tissue fibrosis. The causative bacterium is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe from the genus Actinomyces. Infections classically affect the cervicofacial, thoracic, or pelvic region and often require prolonged antibiotic therapy. Actinomycosis of the breast is a rare condition that may present as a recurrent breast abscess. We present a 33-year-old female with a recurrent breast abscess which grew A. radingae and A. israeli on aspirated fluid cultures. Treatment with surgical aspiration and a 6-week course of oral amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 875 mg twice daily resulted in clinical improvement. Our case demonstrates how recurrent breast abscesses caused by Actinomyces can be difficult to manage. Long-term antibiotic therapy with surgical aspiration and regular follow-up offer the best chance of clinical resolution.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Tonsils are not so commonly affected by allergic lesions or polyps. In this study we attempt to elucidate the nature of tonsillar polyps.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The present study is a hospital based retrospective clinicopathological study in which a total of nine cases whose histopathological slides were reviewed and patient follow up was obtained.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> There were 5 males and 4 females between the age group of 15 to 30 years. Most of the cases presented with complaints of repeated throat pain, difficulty swallowing, foreign body sensation in throat and dry irritating cough. On examination a pedunculated sessile mass in seen protruding from the surface of the palatine tonsil usually unilateral. The clinical differentials included were tonsillar lipoma, haemangioma, lymphangioma, inclusion cyst and neoplasm. Based on histopathological examination following tonsillectomy with polypectomy a conclusion of allergic polyp was made and clinical follow up information of patients were obtained post-operatively. In this series we examine the clinicopathological features of polypoidal lesions of tonsils whose specific diagnosis was obtained after histopathological examination.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> A histopathological examination must be obtained in all cases of tonsillar polyps for proper post-operative management.</p>

Sarcoma is an aggressive, malignant condition of a breast. It is a rare condition, which makes it difficult to diagnose at clinicopathological study. We are reporting a case of a primary breast sarcoma in a 54-year-old menopausal lady that came with painless fast growing right breast lump within 6 months of duration. Clinically, there was a huge mobile painless right breast lump without discoloration of skin noted. Both axilla and supraclavicular lymph node were not palpable. A mammogram showed large lobulated dense mass 8.3cm x 10.0cm in size occupying right upper outer quadrant correspond to BIRADS 4 lesion. A trucut biopsy reported as a papillary lesion. Repeated trucut biopsy reported as mesenchymal lesion with smooth muscle differentiation. With this histopathology report, she was diagnosed with mesenchymal tumor of right breast. She underwent an uneventful mastectomy. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen reported as tumor with mesenchymal differentiation which requiring further confirmation by breast-endocrine pathologist as primary breast sarcoma. She was subjected to post op radiotherapy to the chest wall followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Background: Parasitic infestation of the eyes are a major cause of ocular diseases across the globe. Filarial and filarial-like nematodes top the list of the nematodes that affect the eye. Case: A rare case of live sub retinal worm is reported in a 25 years old apparently healthy young male. The case presented with unilateral loss of vision and floaters in the affected eye. Upon examination a live subfoveal worm was identified with continuous wriggling movements and diffuse retinal edema. The worm was removed surgically and sent for parasitological examination. Observation: The worm was identified microscopically as Loa Loa. However detailed histopathological examination could not be incorporated. The patient’s vision improved to 6/12 (0.30 Log MAR) from the initial presentation of 3/60 (1.30 Log MAR) after three months follow-up. Conclusion: The rare sub retinal live worm presents a challenge in management. The management depends upon the location and viability of the parasite. Surgical management is aimed at worm removal and vision preservation.
