This is a rare case report of a 5-month-old child with a complex spinal dysraphic state, and an accessory limb (tripedus morphology), accessory genitalia, and anal dimple. The child was brought to the hospital with an accessory limb arising from the back. On clinical examination, an accessory limb arising from the lower back with a partially developed foot with the presence of toes and nails was noted. Spinal MRI was advised which revealed dysraphic features including spina bifida with the low lying and posteriorly tethered cord with diastematomyelia along with a supernumerary appendage attached to the vertebral column having rudimentary bones resembling those of extremities. The presence of an accessory limb with spinal dysraphism is quite a rare anomaly. The condition can be treated by surgical intervention and involves excision of the accessory limb with adequate dural and paraspinal muscle cover.

AbstractAccessory breast tissue is rare accounting to less than 1% cases seen in females. It is usually bilateral. We report a case of 24-year-old woman with a lump in the left axilla in view of its rarity and made a differential diagnosis of fibroadenoma, which following the investigations and histopathological report was confirmed as revealed fibroadenoma in the axilla. It should also be considered as a differential diagnosis for all axillary swellings.

ABSTRACTMyelocystocele is a rare form of spinal dysraphism. Thoracic myelocystocele is still rarer. The occurrence of thoracic myelocystocele associated with type-1 split cord malformation, low lying tethered cord, dorsal syrinx and spina bifida is extremely rare. Clinical presentation of such a rare case and an early surgical management is discussed briefly.
