Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a constellation of syndromes arising from different derangements of tubular acid transport. Multiple associations have been established with renal tubular acidosis. We report a case of distal renal tubular acidosis which may be associated with undifferentiated connective tissue disease in which patient is also having autoimmune hypothyroidism along with that is not very common.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2016; 27(1) : 37-39

Chondroma is a benign encapsulated tumor, firm at palpation and multilobulated. Histologically it develops from connective tissue. It is composed of chondrocytes producing an amorphous basophilic matrix. It tends to replace surrounding tissues, with medium severity local aggression. Neck chondromas are extremely rare, their origin being in a typical case the long bones periosteum (over 60% of cases). The authors present a rare case of anterior cervical chondroma, in a 1.8-year-old child.

Ehler Danlos syndrome (EDS), is a group of genetically heterogenous connective tissue disorder. A very rare type of this syndrome is the Progeroid type which is included in the NIH group of rare diseases list. The prevalence is < 1 / 1000000. Along with the usual clinical features, patients with Ehler Danlos syndrome-Progeroid type have old age appearance. Here we report one such rare case of this syndrome diagnosed in a 8 yr old child with characteristic clinical features and supportive genetic confirmation.

Introduction. Castleman's disease (CD) or angiofolicullar lymph node hyperplasia is a rare pathologic process characterized by non-neoplastic reactive proliferation of lymphoid tissue. Mimicking clinical and laboratory signs of infection, it could be a great diagnostic problem for an infectologist. Case report. We report a case of a 39-year old man who was initially clinically suspected to have an infectious central nervous system (CNS) affection, having most similar appearance to neurotuberculosis. Malignancy with bone metastases and lymphoma were also among many possible diagnoses. The patient was later histologically confirmed to have Castleman's disease, analyzing the enlarged inguinal lymph node, which was the key point in rejecting the suspicion of malignancy and tuberculosis. By further analyses, the patient was diagnosed to have mixed connective tissue disorder (MCTD). Vasculitis of mesencephalon and thalamus was detected by magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion. CD with CNS involvement is very rare as well as CD with MCTD association, making this case even more unique. This case report underlines the importance of definitive histological diagnosis in patients with lymphadenopathia associated with systemic involvement and the need of additional immunological and radiological examinations, as well.

Focal fibrous hyperplasia is a slow growing connective tissue tumor that frequently occurs in different anatomic sites of the oral cavity. The present case report describes the occurrence of this lesion on the ventral surface of the tongue which is hitherto least reported intraoral site, in a 11 year old male patient, which was successfully excised.
