Diagnostic Difficulties

Hernia arising from obturator canal is rare and it contributes to about less than 1% of incidence of all hernias. Diagnosing an obturator hernia clinically is a challenging one and nearly impossible. These hernias usually present as an intestinal obstruction as more than 50% of obturator hernias goes in for strangulation. Here, we report an unusual presentation of an obturator hernia in a 70-year-old woman who presented to emergency room with acute abdomen and uncomplicated reducible inguinal hernia. Radiological imaging showed obstructed inguinal hernia while on diagnostic laparoscopy, a strangulated and perforated obturator hernia of Richter’s type was seen in addition to an uncomplicated inguinal hernia. Obturator hernia, although very rare, is associated with high morbidity and mortality as it is often underdiagnosed as in our case. Laparoscopy bailed us out from missing out a perforation from an occult obturator hernia.

Acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas) comprise more than 90 per cent of all cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) lesions. We present a rare case of a giant vertebro-basilar aneurysm presenting as a CPA lesion. The general condition of the patient precluded the completion of the magnetic resonance (MR) sequences. The clinical and limited radiological results (T2 images alone, the features of which were not specific) initially did not lead to a specific diagnosis. To obtain further radiological information a computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast was performed and this revealed the lesion to be an aneurysm. The diagnostic difficulties and the treatment dilemmas of such a lesion are discussed. The importance of fine, axial, post-contrast CT arteriography with three-dimensional reconstruction, MR angiography and digital subtraction angiography are highlighted. The limitations of MR imaging in patients with CPA lesions are discussed.

Lymphoplasmacytic Infiltration

Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia(WM) is a B-cell neoplasm characterized by infiltration of the bone marrow by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and an IgM monoclonal gammopathy. We report a rare case of a 72 year-old male who presented with fever, shortness of breath for one month. Examination revealed cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy with mild hepatomegaly. On evaluation, peripheral smear show significant rouleaux formation & bone marrow aspiration showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. Flow cytometry on bone marrow apirate suggestive of B cell neoplasm and serum protein electophoresis & Immunofixation study confirms diagnosis of waldenstroms macroglobulinemia. We report this case to emphasize diagnostic difficulties in diagnosis of waldenstorms macroglobulinemia and application of flow cytometry and immunofixation study for further confirmation and treatment.

Diagnostic Difficulties

A rare case of association between primary sclerosing cholangitis and Paget's disease emphasizing the diagnostic difficulties in front of increased alkaline phosphatase is reported. The association between sclerosing cholangitis and Paget's disease wasn’t yet described and could thus be coincidental. However, our observation underlines the benefit of dosing ALP isoenzyme to characterize the bone or hepatic origin of ALP and therefore, help to guide the diagnosis.

Myofibromas are benign neoplasms of myofibroblastic origin, rarely encountered in the oral cavity. Limited awareness of the clinical features of these lesions risks misdiagnosis of more sinister pathology. The objective of this report is to highlight the potential diversity of oral lesions by describing an uncommon presentation of a myofibroma. The case reveals the diagnostic difficulties encountered, along with postoperative complications, which exemplify the remarkable healing capacity of the oral cavity.
