AbstractA case of conjunctival amyloid in a 56 year old lady is described in whom no evidence of predisposing localised or systemic disease was found. Histochemistry and immunocytochemistry showed that the amyloid was immunoglobulin-derived. The clinical and pathological features of conjunctival amyloid are discussed.

The case of a Brazilian patient with cortico-basal ganglionic degeneration (CBGD) is presented. Since three years ago, a 71-year old male displays asymmetric ideomotor apraxia, gait apraxia, cortical sensory impairment, myoclonus, limp dystonia and rigidity. His mental status is spared. There is neither consanguinity nor similar cases in his family. The differential diagnosis of CBGD is discussed. A brief review of the literature is made stressing the clinical and pathological features of CBGD. This disease is poorly known and probably underdiagnosed. Its diagnosis can be safely made based on clinical grounds.

We present a case report of a female patient with complaints of single-sided nasal obstruction. A polypoid structure was seen in the nasopharynx. Histologic examination showed a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma – a rare, benign lesion. Therapy consisted of complete excision. In line with previous reports, the lesion did not recur during 13 months of follow up. The clinical and pathological features of this abnormality are discussed.

AbstractTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of external ear canal schwannoma in the English literature. Several detailed clinical and pathological features were demonstrated. We suggest that if a tender, encapsulated mass is found in the external ear canal, the diagnosis of schwannoma should be taken into consideration.

Background.Although some mature cases of teratomas have recently been described in the cervix, they are not commonly found in the uterus, especially in immature forms. An immature uterine teratoma relapsing after surgery as malignant neuroepithelioma has never been reported in the literature.Case Presentation.We describe a case of immature teratoma which occurred primarily in the uterus in a 56-year-old female. Treatment consisted of total simple hysterectomy. Three months after surgery, the patient relapsed with voluminous pelvic mass and was treated with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin-containing chemotherapy regimen.Conclusion.In this report and according to the pertinent literature, clinical and pathological features and management of uterine immature teratomas are discussed. The mainstay of treatment is surgery. The prognosis of this unusual disease remains uncertain.

AbstractThe clinical and pathological features are described in a case of prolonged dementia in a 59 year old man with familial dementia and extrapyramidal disorder. Postmortem examination showed severe fronto-temporal and basal ganglia atrophy, with many “ballooned neurons” in the residual cortex most likely representing Pick's disease. The differential diagnosis is discussed and aspects of this rare condition are reviewed.

Gonadoblastoma and mixed germ cell-sex cord stroma tumor have been widely recognized as two separate entities on the basis of both clinical and pathological features. The typical morphological pattern of both tumor types was found by us to coexist in the same gonadal tumor in a 14-year-old 46,XY phenotypically female subject who also had a contralateral dysgerminoma. A subserous implant showing the mixed germ cell-sex cord pattern of the primary tumor was detected in the uterine body. Following therapy the patient is alive and well after a 7-year follow-up. The distinction between gonadoblastoma and mixed germ cell-sex cord stroma tumor requires discussion.

Background: To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO. Patients and methods: A systematic review on case reports and the literature on so-called cannabis arteritis, TAO, and cardiovascular effects of cannabinoids was conducted. Results: Fifteen reports with 57 cases of an arteritis associated with the use of cannabis and two additional case series of TAO, in which some patients also used cannabis, were identified. Clinical and pathological features of cannabis-associated arteritis do not differ from TAO and the major risk factor of TAO, tobacco use, was present in most, if not in all of these cases. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of an arteritis by cannabis use are not substantiated. Conclusions: The hypothesis of cannabis being a causative factor or co-factor of TAO or an arteritis similar to TAO is not supported by the available evidence. The use of the term “cannabis arteritis” should be avoided until or unless more convincing scientific support is forthcoming.
