ABSTRACT The trichoepithelioma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm which is derived from hair follicles. It is common in the face, but there are only three reports of the solitary occurrence on the nose. It is often not recognized because of its rarity, controversial classification, origin and biological potential. The objective of this paper is to present a case of solitary trichoepithelioma on the nose, histopathological examination and treatment. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a solitary lesion of nose which is confused with basal cell carcinoma. The confirmation by histopathological examination is essential.

Oral focal mucinosis (OFM) is a rare soft-tissue lesion of unknown etiology. Clinically it appears as asymptomatic round lesions and histologically, characterized by focal myxoid degeneration of connective tissue with presence of stellate shaped fibroblasts which were also evident in the present case. This case report stresses on the fact that diagnosis of OFM is almost impossible hence diagnosis should be confirmed by histopathological examination following incisional or excisional biopsy. Through this article we present a rare case of one such lesion on the gingiva and enumerate the most characteristic and myxomatous lesions. Thus though rare, OFM must be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue overgrowths in oral cavity. Here, we describe the clinical and histopathological   presentation and subsequent management of OFM in a female patient.

Actinomycosis is a rare subacute to chronic granulomatous bacterial infection caused by actinomyces species. Pelvic actinomycosis is rare, often pretends to be malignant and therefore it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Here we discuss a case of a 45-years-old female who was operated for a pelvic mass thought to be malignant, but on histopathological examination it turned out to be a case of ovarian actinomycosis.

Background: Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital neuro- oculo- cutaneous disorder. Objective: To report a very rare unusual case of bilateral manifestation of Sturge Weber syndrome. Case: We report an unusual case of a 17-year-old female with advanced stage of bilateral glaucoma associated with facial nevus extending to the other half of the face as well and bilateral intracranial calcification. Conclusion: Sturge -Weber syndrome can manifest as a bilateral condition. Nepal J Ophthalmol 2013; 5(9):129-132 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v5i1.7841
