History Of

Isosexual precocious puberty in a girl child is defined as thelarche before 6 years in African–Americans and 7 years in Caucasians and menarche before the age of 9 years. In 1960, Van Wyk and Grumbach first described a syndrome characterised by breast development, uterine bleeding and multicystic ovaries in the presence of long standing primary hypothyroidism. We describe an interesting case of 8 year old girl presented with the complaint of abdominal mass with history of premature menarche and breast development. She is found to have gross hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, prepubertal LH levels, multicystic ovaries and delayed bone age. Thyroid replacement amazingly settled her problems bringing her to normalcy.

Lip Biopsy

Fordyce's disease, a rarely found disease of lips has been reported recently in department of Skin and VD, Gonosashthaya Somaj Vittic Medical College Hospital, Savar, Dhaka. Occasionally it may not be possible to identify the cause. The patient presented with identical features of Fordyce's disease and lip biopsy for histopathology showed the features of Fordyce's disease. Then patient was treated with Pimecrolimus cream and improved. Fordyce's disease is an extremely rare disorder. So its cutaneous findings, histopathology and treatments are highlighted here.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 2: Jul 2018, P 148-151

Rare Case Report

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Crying with bloody tear, called haemolacria is a very rare condition in medical practice. There are many conditions such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, trauma (accidental or induced), factors deficiencies, infections (Epstein Barr virus or bacterial), tumours (malignant melanoma or haemangioma), conjunctival telangiectasia, Rendu-Oslar-Weber disease related to haemolacria. But idiopathic haemolacria may occur in some cases. In our case report, a 17-year-old girl presented with idiopathic bilateral haemolacria and gum bleeding associated with pseudoseizure and psychogenic hyperventilation who was treated and well responded to adequate counselling and Amitriptyline.

Swyer Syndrome

Swyer syndrome with complete gonadal dysgenesis is associated with an absence of testicular differentiation in a phenotypic female with a 46, XY karyotype. The diagnosis is usually made at adolescence when primary amenorrhea is investigated. Here is an interesting case report of 18-year-old unmarried girl, who presented with primary amenorrhea and non-development of breasts. Her body built was musculin with broad shoulders, prominent Adam’s apple and deep voice. Examination of her secondary sexual charaistisctcs revealed no breast development, absent axillary hair and sparse pubic hairs with female type of external genitalia. Laboratoryanalyses revealed serum follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels compatible with hypergonodotropichypogonadism. Pelvicultrasonography showed an infantile uterus and streak gonads. Chromosome analysis revealed 46, XYkaryotype. Laparoscopic removal of streak gonads was done as there is a risk of gonadoblastoma in such cases. The patient was started on hormonal replacement therapy. Swyersyndrome results mainly due to mutation in certain genes such as SRY gene, which leads to failure of development of testis. Birdem Med J 2020; 10(2): 130-132

Actinomyces israelii is a gram-positive anaerobic organism commonly associated with canaliculitis in adults. Actinomyces are normal commensal bacteria in humans and primarily cause opportunistic infections during immunosuppressive state or when loss of continuity of epithelial lining in mucosa occurs. Lacrimal canaliculitis is a relatively rare condition and is undiagnosed for long periods of time. Being a relatively rare condition, it is commonly overlooked and undiagnosed for long periods of time. Primary chronic canaliculitis is an uncommon problem and Actinomycosis may form in up to 2% of all lacrimal disease. Here present study reports a case of lacrimal canaliculitis caused by Actinomyces israelii.

Nevus Sebaceous of Jadassohn is rare hamartomatous skin lesion. We report an interesting case of an Adolescent Arab male 18yr old, who presented to us with a velvety plaque of 7cm length in his left preauricular area. Excision biopsy revealed Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn with infundibular and keratinous cyst. The lesion is present since birth started as a tiny lesion and grown to the current size. No such large sized lesion on the face has ever been reported in the medical literature till date. We advise an early excision as they have strong potential for malignant change.

Rare Case Report

Duplicated appendix is a rare congenital anomaly with incidence of 0.004-0.009% and its mostly an incidental finding on table, when one of them is acutely inflamed and very rarely both of them can be inflamed as in this case. Report a case of young girl who presented with complain of pain abdomen and vomiting in the last 2 days. Clinically patient was diagnosed to have acute appendicitis and on laparoscopy, patient had duplicated appendix one at the ileocaecal valve and the other 2cm away near the caecum with pus and faecolith. Histopathology confirmed appendicitis in the both appendices. Reported about this interesting rare case because even though the incidence of duplicated appendix is too low (0.004-0.009%), should always search for the missed appendix in patients who underwent appendicectomy earlier and complains of severe pain in right iliac fossa. Aim was to report such a rare interesting case and give a small gentle reminder to the surgeons as duplicated appendix even though rare but still a possibility.
