Verrucous carcinoma of the scrotum is an extremely rare disease and most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic inflammation. Currently, it has not been well characterized, the etiology, diagnosis and treatment remaining poorly understood. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma of the right hemiscrotum. Wide surgical excision was performed. Favorable outcomes can be achieved by surgery, even without any adjuvant therapy, but patients should be carefully followed up.

Verrucous carcinoma is a rare, highly keratinizing variant of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or mucosae characterized by a local aggressiveness but a low potential for metastasis. The plantar form is also known as epithelioma cuniculatum. Fingers and toes are rarely affected, and tumors of the nail bed are exceptional. Clinically, the lesion presents like a wart and is then often misdiagnosed. Treatment of choice is wide surgical excision. A case of verrucous carcinoma of the nail apparatus is presented, and diagnosis is discussed.

A 50 years old male patient was admitted with complaints of change in voice for 2 years, dry cough 2 month and difficulty in breathing for 1 month. On examination with fiberoptic laryngoscope, an exophytic lesion covered with whitish plaque involving right vocal cord extending from anterior commissure to right arytenoid region, extending upto the right vestibular area and hanging in the subglottic area was seen. Patient was treated with Microlaryngeal Laser excision and the Histopathology report was suggestive of Verrucous Carcinoma of Larynx. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2017; 23(2): 208-211

Juvenile variant ossifying fibroma of sinonasal region is an extremely rare benign fibro-osseous lesion which is locally aggressive. A 21-year-old male presented with significant proptosis of right eye with stony-hard lump in the middle upper aspect of the right orbit and base of the nose. CT scan of head revealed a non-enhancing expansile lesion in right ethmoidal cells consistent with chronic ethmoidal mucocele. However Magnetic Resonance Imaging of brain revealed enhancing lesion in right ethmoid and frontal sinus extending up to anterior cranial fossa. He underwent right frontal craniotomy with surgical excision of tumor wherein cystic brown tumor of frontal and ethmoidal sinus was found. The procedure was supplemented with endoscopic transnasal approach. Histopathology report suggested an ossifying fibroma. This case highlights the importance of clinical, imaging and histopathological features of ossifying fibroma occurring in the sinonasal tract for better diagnosis and treatment through a multidisciplinary approach.

Endometriosis is presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. This condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. We are reporting 5 cases of scar endometriosis following cesarean section, some of which were misdiagnosed as stitch granuloma initially. Medical treatment was not helpful. All 5 patients required wide surgical excision of the lesion. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are being discussed.

Background and Objective: Verrucous carcinoma is a rare clinicopathologic entity caused by multifactorial influences. We report here a 64-year-old male patient presenting with a large exophytic mass in the right leg. Results and Conclusion: The patient had a 19-year duration of psoriasis and received various treatments. In his last year of life, he had been taking an illegally produced folk drug with the hope of controlling his psoriasis. However, 6 months after the drug ingestion, many papules appeared on his right leg, which eventually developed into a large tumor in the next few months. The patient died of acute pulmonary embolism only a week after hospitalization, when his tumor was pathologically confirmed as verrucous carcinoma. Later, the folk drug was analyzed and found to contain arsenic. The causative relevance of the tumor with his daily arsenic intake is discussed. Contexte et objectif: Le carcinome verruqueux est une entité clinicopathologique rare, causée par divers facteurs. Nous exposons ici le cas d'un homme de 64 ans, qui a consulté pour une grosse masse exophytique sur la jambe droite. Résultats et conclusions: Le patient souffrait de psoriasis depuis 19 ans et a été soumis à divers traitements. Au cours de sa dernière année de vie, il a pris un remède empirique traditionnel, illégal, dans l'espoir de soulager le psoriasis. Cependant, 6 mois après la consommation du remède, de nombreuses papules sont apparues sur la jambe droite, et ont fini par former une grosse tumeur au cours des mois suivants. Le patient est mort d'une embolie pulmonaire aiguë, une semaine seulement après son hospitalisation, lorsque l'examen histopathologique de la tumeur a révélé qu'il s'agissait d'un carcinome verruqueux. Le remède a été analysé plus tard, et il s'est avéré que celui-ci contenait de l'arsenic. Le lien de cause à effet entre la tumeur et la consommation quotidienne d'arsenic fera l'objet de discussion.

We describe here diagnosis treatment of a case that rose from the sternocleidomastoid muscle and was treated without surgical excision. A 56-year-old man presented with a rapidly growing, painless and not well-circumscribed mass at the right side of the neck. We diagnosed this tumor as proliferative myositis (PM) based on the typical findings from ultrasonography, computed tomography, and core-needle biopsy, and treated it without surgical excision. Herein we report a successful diagnosis and treatment process of a case of PM, which was followed-up with ultrasonography.

Hepatic brucelloma (HB), a rare manifestation of brucellosis, refers to liver involvement in the form of abscess. A 35-year-old woman stockbreeder was admitted due to 1-month history of evening fever, sweating and weight loss, while she was on 3-week course of rifampicin/doxycycline for suspected brucellosis. On admission, she had hepatosplenomegaly and a systolic murmur, while cholestasis, increased inflammation markers and a strong-positive Wright-Coombs test were the main laboratory findings. As blood and bone marrow cultures were unrevealing, further investigation with CT imaging showed a central liver calcification surrounded by heterogeneous hypodense area being compatible with HB. Material from CT-guided drainage tested negative for Brucella spp. After failure to improve on a 10-week triple regiment, surgical excision was decided and Brucella spp were identified by PCR. Our case highlights challenges in establishing HB diagnosis, which should be considered on the right epidemiological context and when serological and radiological evidence favour its diagnosis.

This case report describes the case of a 37-year-old man that noticed an intrascrotal right mass with 1 month of evolution. During physical exam presented with a large mass at the inferior portion of the right testicle, clearly separated from the testicle, with a tender consistency and mobile. An ultrasound was performed that showed a solid and subcutaneous nodular lesion, extra testicular, heterogeneous, measuring 7.2 cm. Pelvic magnetic resonance imageMRI showed a lesion compatible with a lipoma. The patient was subjected to surgical excision of the lesion by scrotal access, having histology revealed a lipoblastoma (LB) of the scrotum. Histological diagnosis was obtained by microscopic characteristics (well-circumscribed fatty neoplasm) and immunohistochemistry (stains for CD34, S100 protein and PLAG1 were positive; stains for MDM2 and CDK4 were negative). LB is extremely rare after adolescence in any location, being this first described case of intrascrotal LB described in adulthood.
