Background: Rabies is still one of the most neglected diseases in developing countries. It is endemic to North Africa, although rabies incidence in North Africa is certainly underestimated. Case Description: On 18 December 2018 in the region of Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar, an 8-month-old calf died after a period of characteristic clinical symptoms of rabies. This is the first case of rabies in bovine which is confirmed through histopathological examination in the Laboratory of Veterinary Pathology, Omar Al-Mukhtar University. Microscopic examination clearly revealed encephalitis with the pathognomonic Negri bodies in the cerebellar neurons. Conclusion: Since the characteristic lesions in the histopathological examination are sufficient to confirm the diagnosis and report infected cases, we recommend that the next version of the OIE Terrestrial Manual should add and clarify that the results of the use of histopathological techniques in the diagnosis of rabies are significant.

Congenital Teratoma

<p class="abstract">Teratomas are embryonal neoplasm arises from totipotent germ cells. They are having tissues from all the three blastodermic layers. There are various locations of congenital teratoma. Naso-oropharyngeal site teratoma are either sessile or pedunculated. We describe a rare case of laryngeal teratoma in a five years old patient presented with change in voice and breathing difficulty. On flexible laryngoscopy, it appeared like supraglottic cyst but on CT scan it was confirmed as teratoma. Pre-operative tracheostomy and transoral carbon dioxide laser assisted excision done. Histopathological examination showed osteoid trabeculae, chondroid tissue with loose myxoid islands and adipose tissue. No recurrence of tumor on 18 months follow-up. This is the first case report of pediatric larynx teratoma reported in present century.</p>

Uterine lipoleiomyosarcoma is a heterologous sarcoma composed of variable proportions of malignant lipoblasts histologically corresponding to well differentiated liposarcoma and malignant smooth muscle cells corresponding to leiomyosarcoma. Finding of benign lipomatous component in a typical leiomyoma (lipoleiomyoma) is not an uncommon, however, lipoleiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor and only very few cases have been reported so far. We report a case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterine corpus in a postmenopausal woman presenting with lower abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Diagnosis of lipoleiomyosarcoma was confirmed by histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimen. This is the first case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterus reported from Nepal. Keywords: Lipoleiomyosarcoma, uterus, histopathology, unusual case.   doi:10.3126/njog.v2i1.1482    N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 67 - 70 May -June 2007

Abstract Objective Rare cases of fungal balls of paranasal sinuses in children. No case has been reported in young children so far. However, allergic aspergillosis has been reported in young children. Method A case report of 2 cases of fungal balls of paranasal sinuses in children and review of the current literature concerning fungal balls of paranasal sinuses in children are presented. Result 2 cases of fungal balls in paranasal sinuses were diagnosed in children of 9 and 10 years respectively. Both of them presented with nasal obstruction and eye signs provisional diagnosis was based on CT scan findings. FESS was done and fungal balls were subjected to histopathological examination to rule out invasive fungal sinusitis, fungal staining and culture were done which confirmed the diagnosis of Aspergillosis. Conclusion To our knowledge this is the first case report of fungal balls in PNS in children in otolaryngology literature. Both the patients were males with age of 9 and 10 years respectively.

Lung Lobes

Spontaneous pneumothorax is rarely reported in the cat. This case report describes the use of computed tomography (CT) to diagnose pulmonary bullae in an adult cat with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. A large bulla in the right middle lung lobe and several blebs in other lobes were identified by CT. Partial lobectomy of the right middle and right and left cranial lung lobes was successfully performed to remove the affected portions of lung. Histopathological examination suggested bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as the underlying cause for development of the pulmonary bulla. This is the first case report in the veterinary literature describing the use of CT to identify pulmonary bullae in the cat with BPD as a possible underlying cause.

Though there have been multiple cases of arterial thrombosis and gangrene of limbs reported following COVID-19 infections, there has not been any case reported following COVID-19 vaccinations. Here we reported a case of acute lower limb ischemia following COVID-19 vaccination in a 32 year male with no co-morbidities. The clinical symptoms and signs related to lower limb ischemia started 2 weeks after COVID-19 vaccination. Despite anticoagulation, thrombo embolectomy and intraluminal catheter guided thrombolysis, patient’s left forefoot became gangrenous and had to be amputated.

Rosai Dorfman Disease

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) manifesting as a solitary osseous lesion especially of talus bone is rare. The authors reported a 31-year-old Thai man who had chronic left ankle pain and the biopsy of his talar lesion demonstrated emperipolesis, the typical histological feature of RDD. He was treated with curettage and adjuvant bisphosphonate and appeared to show improvement in clinical symptoms and radiological evidence. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of an intraosseous RDD lesion treated with bisphosphonate with imaging follow-up.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to report a case of lacrimal caruncle nevus with papilloma. Methods: This is a case report of a 39-year-old female with a progressively enlarging pigmented lesion on the left lacrimal caruncle. She had been aware of a raised whitish wart on the top of this pigmented lesion for several months before her initial visit. Slit lamp examination revealed a papillomatous lesion over a well-circumscribed, pigmented lesion on the left lacrimal caruncle. Results: The histopathological examination of the excised tumor disclosed 2 characteristic findings, which include nests of nevus cells within the dermis and papillomatous structures which had fibrovascular cores overlying squamous cell epithelia with variable levels of acanthosis. The findings were consistent with an intradermal nevus and a papilloma arising from the conjunctival epithelium of the nevus. Conclusion: This is the first case report of a lacrimal caruncle nevus with papilloma. The clinical history and pathological findings of this case underscore the fact that an intradermal nevus primarily occurred on the lacrimal caruncle, after which a papilloma arose from the epithelium of the nevus as a consequence of human papillomavirus autoinoculation.

Bickerstaff’S Brainstem Encephalitis

Abstract Background Diseases caused by nontyphoid Salmonella can range from mild, to self-limiting gastroenteritis and severe invasive infection. Relatively rarely, Salmonella may cause severe encephalopathy. Case presentation We report a suspected case of Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis caused by Salmonella Dublin. A young man presented with impaired consciousness, ataxia, dysarthria, limb weakness, and restricted eyeball abduction. His clinical symptoms were consistent with Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis. Conclusions This is the first case report of Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis caused by Salmonella Dublin in the literature. After treatment, he recovered and was discharged. Early antibiotic treatment of sepsis may control the disease and avoid serious encephalopathy.

SummaryBackground: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a solid malignant tumour associated with infiltration of immature myeloid precursor cells in an extramedullary site. The term MS has replaced the term granulocytic sarcoma and chloroma, which were used in the past. MS in the oral cavity is very uncommon, with less of 40 cases reported until recently. Case Report: We report the first case, the features, and the diagnostic sequence, of intraoral MS with bilateral palatal involvement, which presented as an initial manifestation, and preceded the appearance of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Diagnostic confirmation of such oral mucosal lesions usually requires biopsy, histopathological examination with additional immunohistochemical investigation. MS can occur during the course of acute or chronic myelogenous leukaemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes. In the vast majority of the reported cases, only one site was involved with a single intraoral MS lesion, and the cases predominantly associated with AML. Conclusion: The majority of intraoral MS occurs in patients with known AML, but in some of them, presented as an initial manifestation, and preceded the appearance of the disease. Therefore, clinicians should carefully evaluate all unusual oral lesions of unknown origin.
