Diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis (DPL), an exceptionally rare disease, mainly occurs in children and young adults of both sexes. Even though DPL is considered to be a benign disease, its prognosis is relatively poor. Because of its rarity, little guidance on diagnosis and treatment is available, which makes working with patients with DPL challenging for clinicians. We present here a case of a young man with DPL in whom treatment with sirolimus and propranolol rapidly achieved positive radiological and clinical effects.

Adult Spinal Cord

Pilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is an atypical subtype of pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), which presents in children and young adults. The incidence of PMA is low, so there is no standardized treatment protocol for it. Here, we present a 62-year-old woman with recurrent PMA, which is important for the understanding and treatment of the disease.

Systemic lymphangiomatosis is a rare disease characterized by the exageration of lymphatic channel proliferation, occurring in children and young adults. We describe an extremely rare case of congenital systemic lymphangiomatosis in a newborn who had ascitis and respiratory failure develop immediately after delivery. Death occurred during the first hour of life. Autopsy findings showed numerous cysts in soft tissues of the cervical area, mediastinum and diaphragm, and several other organs including the liver, spleen, thyroid and kidneys. The severe and diffuse involvement with cysts in both lungs by lymphangiomatosis was associated with poor prognosis and death in our case.

Space Occupying Lesion

Dysembryoplastic neuropithelial tumor (DNET) is a rare recently described, benign glioneural tumor frequently associated with intractable seizures in children and young adults which is important to recognise clinically and radiologically as it is surgically curable without need for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. We hereby present a case report of a 10year old male child who presented with intractable seizures and right parietal space occupying lesion which was diagnosed DNET radiologically, treated by microsurgical excision and confirmed histopathologically as DNET, thus emphasising multidisciplinary role in management of this rare entity.

Primary Bartholin gland carcinoma (BGC) is an extremely rare disease. It typically presents in elderly women. It can be confused with Bartholin gland cyst, which is a benign condition leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We are presenting a case report of BGC in a 35-year-old woman, which has created a diagnostic as well as therapeutic dilemma.

Benign subcutaneous facial cysts are common in children and young adults. They are largely of cosmetic concern. Removal of sebaceous and epidermoid cysts in this population can leave unsightly scars, occasionally worse in appearance than the original pathology. In the present case report, the technique of cyst excision via an intaoral route is outlined. The literature review emphasizes the importance of placing facial incisions in inconspicuous areas.
