Clinical and radiological feature of lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas

ABSTRACT The tissue interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme are few of the events which result in pathological processes. One such interaction of epithelium and lymphoid tissue may result in lymphoepithelial lesions in the oral cavity. Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is a rare developmental cystic lesion of the oral cavity with various histogenetic implications. Documented cases of LEC of the tonsil are low in number in the literature. We are hereby reporting a case of LEC of the tonsil in a male patient with review of literature. How to cite this article Somashekara KG, Priya NS, Rao K, Shantharam L.

A 25-year-old man, who was taking treatment for his poorly controlled asthma, presented with symptoms of cough with expectoration, gradually progressive shortness of breath, fever on and off and diffuse wheeze for 2 years. Chest X-ray revealed hyperinflation of lung field with dense opacification at right upper lobe. High-resolution CT chest showed bilateral patchy consolidation, central bronchiectasis and high-attenuation mucus (HAM) impaction. His blood absolute eosinophil count, total serum IgE level, Aspergillus fumigatus specific IgE and IgG level were 1910, 16760 kU/L, 59.8 kU/L and 147.41 kU/L, respectively. Diagnosis of allergic broncho pulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) was established according to International Society for Human and Animal Mycology society guidelines. He was started on systemic steroids and doing well after 6 months of follow-up. Our case illustrates HAM, which is a rare but typical radiological feature of ABPA.

High prevalence of variants in skeletal dysplasia associated genes in individuals with short stature and minor skeletal anomalies

Next Generation Sequencing Ngs

Objective: Next generation sequencing (NGS) has expanded the diagnostic paradigm turning the focus to the growth plate. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of variants in genes implicated in skeletal dysplasias in probands with short stature and mild skeletal anomalies. Design: Clinical and radiological data were collected from 108 probands with short stature and mild skeletal anomalies. Methods: A customized skeletal dysplasia NGS panel was performed. Variants were classified using ACMG recommendations and Sherloc. Anthropometric measurements and skeletal anomalies were subsequently compared in those with or without an identified genetic defect. Results: Heterozygous variants were identified in 21/108 probands (19.4%). Variants were most frequently identified in ACAN (n=10) and IHH (n=7) whilst one variant was detected in COL2A1, CREBBP, EXT1 and PTPN11. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were observed for sitting height/height (SH/H) ratio, SH/H ratio SDS and the SH/H ratio SDS >1 in those with an identified variant compared to those without. Conclusions: A molecular defect was elucidated in a fifth of patients. Thus, the prevalence of mild forms of skeletal dysplasias is relatively high in individuals with short stature and mild skeletal anomalies, with variants in ACAN and IHH accounting for 81% of the cases. An elevated SH/H ratio appears to be associated with a greater probability in detecting a variant, but no other clinical or radiological feature has been found determinant to finding a genetic cause. Currently, we cannot perform extensive molecular studies in all short stature individuals so detailed clinical and radiological phenotyping may orientate which are the candidate patients to obtain worthwhile results. In addition, detailed phenotyping of probands and family members will often aid variant classification.

Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma

A five-year-old boy presented with left tibial swelling; there was a typical radiological feature of osteofibrous dysplasia. He was observed until the age of 14 years; there was development of aggressive radiological features. Biopsy revealed chondroblastic osteosarcoma. It was excised and the histology revealed chondroblastic osteosarcoma. A small lesion distal to the main tumour revealed adamantinoma within a background of feature of osteofibrous dysplasia. Proximally, feature of osteofibrous dysplasia was identified focally. The finding of adamantinoma over the distal part of the lesion supports that feature of osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma. They may be a spectrum of diseases with multistep neoplastic transformation. The osteosarcoma may be a result of de-differentiation from adamantinoma. This case is remarkable as the patient was only 14 years old and the tumour showed typical features of osteosarcoma, with feature of osteofibrous dysplasia and adamantinoma found in the same specimen. Feature of osteofibrous dysplasia may be a precursor of adamantinoma, and adamantinoma may dedifferentiate into osteosarcoma.
