Eosinophilic granuloma is a variety of histiocytosis-X with unknown etiology. Eosinophilic granuloma occurs as single or multiple lesions of bone destruction. It is seen more commonly in children or young adults although it may be found at all ages. Other sites like the lung and the gastrointestinal tract may also be affected. This is a rare case of eosinophilic granuloma which presented as frontal headache. The radiographic and cytological findings were characteristic of the disease.

First Case

Chordomas are most commonly of extradural origin and associated with bone destruction. The authors describe a rare case of an intradural chordoma. To the best of their knowledge, this is the first case in which multiple lesions were found intradurally without bone involvement; the lesions were disseminated through the thoracolumbosacral spinal cord and extended into the paraspinal muscles, and metastatic lesions in the cervical cord were also present.

The Future

Incidence of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack in young adults is rising. However, etiology remains unknown in 30–40% of these patients when current classification systems designed for the elderly are used. Our aim was to identify risk factors according to a pediatric approach, which might lead to both better identification of risk factors and provide a stepping stone for the understanding of disease mechanism, particularly in patients currently classified as “unknown etiology”. Risk factors of 656 young stroke patients (aged 18–50) of the FUTURE study were categorized according to the “International Pediatric Stroke Study” (IPSS), with stratification on gender, age and stroke of “unknown etiology”. Categorization of risk factors into ≥1 IPSS category was possible in 94% of young stroke patients. Chronic systemic conditions were more present in patients aged <35 compared to patients ≥35 (32.6% vs. 15.6%, p < 0.05). Among 226 patients classified as “stroke of unknown etiology” using TOAST, we found risk factors in 199 patients (88%) with the IPSS approach. We identified multiple risk factors linked to other mechanisms of stroke in the young than in the elderly . This can be a valuable starting point to develop an etiologic classification system specifically designed for young stroke patients.

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.

Intestinal Intussusception

Abstract Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and affects 1% - 4% of the general population. Most patients are asymptomatic throughout their lives, but it is estimated that 4% - 6% will have some symptoms, which usually occur due to abdominal complications. This study aimed to report a rare case of Meckel’s diverticulum complicated by intestinal intussusception.

ABSTRACT Gallstones may pass into the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously through the ampulla of Vater or through a biliary-enteric fistula. This report describes an extremely rare case of a patient vomiting a gallstone without the presence of a fistula between the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, no imaging findings of gallstones disease appeared. The patient has been treated conservatively and all symptoms subsided. The patient remains asymptomatic 3 months after treatment and an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was arranged. Including this reported case, only three cases have been described in the literature worldwide. However, our case is the only one characterized by retrograde flow of the gallstones into the stomach without symptoms of bowel obstruction or other underlying pathologies.

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, also known as Evans tumor, is a low-grade sarcoma that most commonly arises in the deep soft tissue of the proximal extremities or trunk in young adults. It is very rare in the viscera as a primary site, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of Evans tumor occurring in an unusual and rarely reported location; an intrathoracic mass arising from the diaphragmatic pleura.
