Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Introduction: Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a benign tumor that is presented frequently in some of the organs like oral cavity, skin, colon and genitourinary tract, but in airway is rare. Case Presentation: We present a rare case in this paper, with recurrent bronchial FEP that was near completely obstructed right main bronchus that we managed her successfully with interventional bronchoscopy. In this case report we describe this rare condition. Conclusion: Airway FEP is uncommon benign tumor that may obstruct airways and rarely may be recurrent like our case.

Abstract Background: Fewer than 200 benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma cases were reported worldwide till 2017, while its pleural involvement has rarely been reported. Case presentation: We report a 70-year-old man who presented with three months history of chronic cough. Surgical resection was performed, and the pathology confirmed benign multicystic pleural mesothelioma. The patient underwent right lateral thoracotomy, wedges resection of the right upper lobe, and parietal pleurectomy and was discharged with an uneventful postop course.Conclusion: Based on published literature to date, this is the second reported case of pleural involvement of this disease.

Crying with bloody tear, called haemolacria is a very rare condition in medical practice. There are many conditions such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, trauma (accidental or induced), factors deficiencies, infections (Epstein Barr virus or bacterial), tumours (malignant melanoma or haemangioma), conjunctival telangiectasia, Rendu-Oslar-Weber disease related to haemolacria. But idiopathic haemolacria may occur in some cases. In our case report, a 17-year-old girl presented with idiopathic bilateral haemolacria and gum bleeding associated with pseudoseizure and psychogenic hyperventilation who was treated and well responded to adequate counselling and Amitriptyline.

Actinomyces israelii is a gram-positive anaerobic organism commonly associated with canaliculitis in adults. Actinomyces are normal commensal bacteria in humans and primarily cause opportunistic infections during immunosuppressive state or when loss of continuity of epithelial lining in mucosa occurs. Lacrimal canaliculitis is a relatively rare condition and is undiagnosed for long periods of time. Being a relatively rare condition, it is commonly overlooked and undiagnosed for long periods of time. Primary chronic canaliculitis is an uncommon problem and Actinomycosis may form in up to 2% of all lacrimal disease. Here present study reports a case of lacrimal canaliculitis caused by Actinomyces israelii.

ABSTRACT Odontogenic fibromyxoma, a myxoma with abundant collagen fibers, is a rare benign tumor of jaw which mostly affects posterior part of mandible. It is ectomesenchymal in origin and probably arises from connective tissue of dental follicle or papilla. Commonly occurs in 2nd or 3rd decade with slight female predilection. Radiological investigations, such as conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to differentiate it from other odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma. Management is surgical by enucleation and curettage or by en bloc resection and segmental maxillectomy. Follow-up of patient is must for at least 2 years to diagnose any recurrence. In this article, we present fibromyxoma of maxilla which is a very rare site for occurrence of fibromyxoma and this relatively rare condition has been discussed in light of recent information from literature with a case report.

Abstract BackgroundMetastasis of the pancreas to myxoid liposarcoma is very rare.Case presentationWe report a 43-year-old woman who underwent radical surgery for myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) of the sigmoid colon 9 years earlier and for liposarcoma of the neck 7 years earlier. The lesion later metastasized to the pancreas, and we performed pancreaticoduodenectomy, which was pathologically confirmed as myxoid liposarcoma. Unfortunately, the patient died a year later from unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.ConclusionsMyxoid liposarcoma is a very rare malignancy that carries a risk of invasion to the pancreas, and complete surgical resection is the best chance for clinical treatment.
