ABSTRACT Oncogenic osteoblastoma is a rare clinical entity in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Its presentation is like a nasal polyp. One should keep the diagnosis of oncogenic osteoblastoma in mind as a differential diagnosis for mass in nasal cavity. Excessive bleeding during surgery should arouse the suspicion and the pathologist has to be sounded. A preliminary biopsy of the mass is to be considered. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) should be done, if the suspicion is strong.

Solitary Neurofibroma

Neurofibroma (NF) is a benign tumour of the peripheral nervous system which is rare in head and neck region. Head and neck NF are mostly located in the soft tissue and rarely seen intraosseously. These may present either as solitary lesions or as part of the generalised syndrome of neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen's disease of the skin. The intraosseous ones are most commonly seen as solitary lesions, rather than part of neurofibromatosis. The following report describes a unique case of a solitary neurofibroma of the maxilla without generalised syndrome of neurofibromatosis in a male patient.

Isolated unilateral temporal muscle hypertrophy is a rarely reported clinical entity with an unclear etiology. Consideration of a broad differential diagnosis combined with a detailed histologic and radiologic work-up will help the physician diagnose the underlying pathology. We report a new case of this uncommon entity, and we review the pertinent literature.

Lung Hernia

Lung herniation (LH) is a rare clinical entity involving the protrusion of lung outside the thoracic cage. It has a variety of etiologies and clinical presentations, making diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a 20-year-old male who reported pleuritic pain after falling from a skateboard. Evaluation through computed tomography (CT) scanning of the chest revealed an anterior lung hernia associated with rib fractures. This case emphasizes the need for clinicians to include lung herniation in the differential diagnosis of patients with trauma and inexplicable or persistent pulmonary issues.

Nonallergic rhinitis is a heterogeneous disease consisting of wide variety of entities that present with persistent nasal symptoms. “United airways” has become a slogan verging on dogma. The concept gained momentum with the realization that the unifying atopic pathophysiology of the nose and tracheobronchial tree lead to coexistent allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma, respectively. Including nonallergic mechanisms and the differential diagnosis of comorbid rhinitides with reversible and irreversible lower airway obstructive entities is more problematic. Although the nose and foregut-derived tracheobronchial tree have distinct embryonic origins, they share exposure to air, pseudostratified epithelium with extensive submucosal glands, common elements of the innate and acquired mucosal immune systems, and extensive nociceptive and autonomic nervous system sensors and controls. Mechanisms affecting both anatomic sites are likely to develop comorbid disease. Anatomic differences contribute to discrete pathologic conditions, as allowed by the bony box of the nasal cavity versus the cartilaginous walls and elastic alveolar interstitial tethers for bronchi and bronchioles. The diverse pathologic states of the nasal mucosa and their relationships with bronchial hyperresponsiveness are the focus of the remainder of this discussion.

This article analyzes the literature related to flaccid paresis and paralysis of the upper extremities in children during the first months of life. This pathology is a heterogeneous group of diseases with different etiopathogenesis. There are various courses of flaccid paresis and paralysis of the upper extremities in children: damage to the spinal cord, brachial plexus, peripheral nervous system to the level of the brachial plexus, and isolated damage to peripheral nerves. According to the time of occurrence, flaccid paresis and paralysis can be divided into three groups: antenatal, intranatal, and postnatal pathology. The main mechanism of occurrence of this pathology is intranatal trauma. More rare causes of flaccid paresis and paralysis of the upper extremities are antenatal conditions of dysplastic and traumatic origin, postnatal damage to the peripheral nervous system due to trauma or infection. Congenital contractures of the upper extremities combined with flaccid paralysis are connected with genetically determined diseases of the lower motor neurons and congenital myopathies, intrauterine injuries of the brachial plexus peripheral nerves. This article discusses the issues of topical and differential diagnosis of this pathology, the clinical picture suitable for each period of the childs life, and the prognosis of the disease. This research will be useful not only for neurologists, but also for specialists of related specialties: orthopedists, physiotherapists, and neonatologists for making correct the diagnosis, providing adequate treatment, and predicting its results.

The authors describe the case of a 44-year-old man with multilevel lumbar spinal Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD), a rare clinical entity. To the authors' knowledge, there have been only 2 cases of lumbar spinal involvement of RDD (epidural) reported in the literature, and the current case is the third but the only one showing lumbar spinal intradural involvement of RDD. This case of RDD mimicked a meningioma both clinically and radiologically. The patient underwent a procedure in which the tumor was excised, and postoperatively the patient made a clinically acceptable recovery. Vertebral canal involvement of RDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vertebral canal tumors. Resection is an acceptable treatment option.

The occurrence of osteoid osteoma in the hand is rare, and the rarest of all locations is the terminal phalanx. An osteoid osteoma of the terminal phalanx of the middle finger in a twenty-four-year old woman is described. This case illustrated the very typical clinical and x-ray features of an osteoid osteoma, which made diagnosis and treatment of this rare clinical entity straightforward. On pathological examination, a bundle of nerve fibres was found in the lesion, an explanation that the pain of this tumour may have been mediated by the nervous system via the nerve fibre.
