Purpose: To report a rare case of eyelid lipoma. Case summary: A 41-year-old female presented with a palpable mass in her left upper eyelid. Diffuse hard mass was palpable at preaponeurotic fat layer of left upper eyelid, and there was no inflammatory sign. Under local anesthesia, a left upper eyelid mass partial excision was performed and a biopsy specimen was collected. The mass was yellower and harder than surrounding normal eyelid fat. A lipoma was diagnosed based on histopathological findings such as proliferation of mature adipocytes. Conclusions: Lipoma is a benign tumor commonly found around trunk and limbs, but rarely occurs at eyelid. Eyelid lipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of diffuse mass at eyelid fat layer. Diagnosis and treatment can be achieved by partial excision and histopathological examination.

Gastric Mass

Gastric schwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors that arise from the nerve plexus of gut wall. They present with nonspecific symptoms and are often detected incidentally. Preoperative investigation is not pathognomic and many are therefore misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We report a rare case of a 37-year old woman who underwent laparotomy for complex bilateral ovarian cyst with resection of gastric-gastrointestinal stromal tumor preoperatively, but confirmed to have a gastric schwannomas postoperatively. This case underscores the differential diagnosis of submucosal, exophytic gastric mass as schwannoma.

Atypical Presentations

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, which is the most common form of leishmaniasis, classically presents as small erythematous papules and nodules that develop into ulcers with indurated, raised outer borders. However, lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis can have pleomorphic and atypical presentations. The erysipeloid form is one of the rare, atypical presentations of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Reported is a case of a 58-year-old man from the hilly region of Nepal who presented with an atypical erythematous and edematous plaque over the left antecubital fossa. Cutaneous leishmaniasis was not considered as an initial diagnosis because of the atypical appearance of the lesion as well as his residence in the hilly region of Nepal. The diagnosis was made after detection of amastigotes on histopathological examination of a cutaneous biopsy specimen. There was complete regression of the lesion after treatment with oral miltefosine followed by oral fluconazole. Clinicians should be aware of atypical presentations of cutaneous leishmaniasis and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis, regardless of the presentation or geographic location.

ABSTRACT Invasive mycotic infections can be effectively treated if rapid identification of fungus is obtained. We reported a case of coinfection by Aspergillus and Rhizopus sp. involving nose, paranasal sinuses and orbit in a 51 years old male patient diagnosed as diabetic on admission. He presented to ENT OPD with history of drooping of right upper eyelid, decreased vision right eye and deviation of angle of mouth to left side for 12 days. NCCT nose, PNS and orbit showed soft tissue density in right maxillary sinus, ethmoids and destruction of right inferior turbinate. MRI of nose, PNS and orbit revealed hypointense density in right maxillary and ethmoid sinuses on T1-weighted images and on T2-weighted; it was hyperintense. Patient underwent endoscopic debridement under general anesthesia and tissue was sent for microbiological and histopathological examination which confirmed presence of Aspergillus and Rhizopus. Patient responded to therapy with IV amphotericin B and surgical debridement. On discharge patient's condition was good. How to cite this article Gupta R, Gupta B, Bal A, Gupta AK.

Case summary A 5-year-old neutered male domestic longhair cat was presented for the investigation of a cranial abdominal mass following a 1-month history of inappetence and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large cavitated mass confluent with the mesenteric aspect of the descending duodenum. At surgery, the mass was found to involve the pylorus, proximal duodenum and pancreas, and was non-resectable. Histopathological examination of surgical biopsies revealed a non-neoplastic process involving eosinophils and fibroplasia. Relevance and novel information This case report describes an uncommon feline gastrointestinal pathology with an unusual appearance that may provide an additional differential diagnosis other than neoplasia or abdominal abscess when confronted with a cavitated abdominal mass in cats.

Aggressive fibromatosis is the locally aggressive benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. It can be found in any part of the body. However, abdomen is the most common site of this lesion. It has a predilection to females between 15 and 60 years. We report the case of a 16-month-old female child with an aggressive fibromatosis in her right palm. The location and age of presentation make this a rare case. She was diagnosed by histopathological examination and the mass was excised. The patient was advised for follow-up examination due to the high degree of recurrence of this tumor.

We present the case of a 38-year-old woman that presented with a very slowly enlarging mass of the tongue. MRI revealed a large mass originating in the tongue base and extending to the supraglottic space. Biopsy of this tumor confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. An endaural approach allowed complete resection of the tumor. Definitive histopathological examination showed a plexiform schwannoma. Schwannoma or neurilemoma represents a benign tumor potentially affecting any nerve. The head and neck region is a relatively common location for schwannomas, but tongue schwannomas are considered to be rare and pose the problem of both clinical and histological differential diagnosis of tongue masses.

Cases of renal leiomyomas are fewer than 100 in the literature and therefore possess a diagnostic challenge.1 By definition, leiomyomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms.2 that arise from smooth muscle cells.3 The most common sites of origin are the uterus, intestines and skin.4 One of the more unusual types of leiomyomas are the ones arising from the kidneys. They account for about 1.5 % benign lesions of kidneys.5 The methods of detection are through discovery during autopsy, incidental discovery during imaging or by clinical diagnosis in symptomatic lesions.6 Prevalence based on incidental finding at the time of autopsy is 4.2 - 5.2 %.7 Creating a differential diagnosis between leiomyomas and other malignant lesions is only possible by histopathological examination.8 We hereby report a case of 26-year-old female who presented with pain in abdomen and on histopathological examination was diagnosed as a case of renal leiomyoma.

Abstract:Chondroma is a benign tumor of cartilaginous origin. Nasal septal chondromas are rare and almost always arise from the bony septum. Considering the very rare occurrence of chondroma from anterior part of the septum, we report a case of Chondroma of the nasal septal cartilage in an adult female, who presented with progressive unilateral nasal obstruction. CT scan showed the minimally enhancing lesion from the anterior septum confined to the left nasal cavity. Excision of the mass was done endoscopically. Histopathological examination of the specimen was suggestive of chondroma.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of an organised haematoma arising in the sphenoid sinus.Case report:An 85-year-old woman presented with an expansile soft tissue mass in the left sphenoid sinus, with bony destruction of the sella turcica, which mimicked the extrasellar extension of a pituitary tumour. The tumour was excised using an endoscopic, transsphenoidal approach. Histopathological examination revealed an organised haematoma.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report of an organised haematoma arising in the sphenoid sinus. This case indicates that organised haematoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of extensive sphenoid lesions; it also emphasises the importance of correct pre-operative diagnosis for therapeutic planning, as complete surgical resection by an endoscopic approach is curative.
