ABSTRACT Although leiomyoma is one of the commonest uterine tumors prevalent among reproductive aged women, certain types like parasitic fibroid are rare and among these the primary variety rarer. The present case report is of a primary parasitic fibroid of large size neither connected with uterus and adnexae nor having any history of previous laparoscopic procedures. Aim of our reporting is to acknowledge the rarity, clinical parameters and management. How to cite this article Mandal D, Dattaray C, Roy S.

High doses of opioids are often needed in the management of cancer-related pain. A discussion of a patient’s perioperative opioid management and mechanisms contributing to opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) are presented. In the present case report, a patient on high doses of opioids, including morphine and methadone, with severe worsening back pain and a history of increasing opioid requirements for the last 2 months due to metastatic leiomyosarcoma to the femur, spine, and neck is described. Use of high dose opioids is associated with numerous challenges, including tolerance. The successful management of this patient was multimodal and included the use of potent analgesics, N-methyl-D-aspartatereceptor antagonists, and the α-2 agonist clonidine.

There is ample evidence that placebo can cause most, if not all, of the effects due to any active drug (Beecher, 1962; Honigfeld, 1964). A detailed case history of apparent dependence on a placebo can be added to these, in the form of the following clinical experience.

Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystem disorder of unknown etiology characterized by formation of granulomata within affected organs and consequent distortion of their normal architecture. Typically, these are non-caseating epithelioid granulomata involving organized collections of activated macrophages and T lymphocytes. In countries where tuberculosis is endemic, sarcoidosis is often misdiagnosed and mistreated as tuberculosis. We present case report of a 47-year-old female who presented with 2 years history of recurrent, multiple nodules with occasional joint pain & fever and had received anti-tubercular therapy without any improvement. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis is made finally and she was managed accordingly.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2017; 28(1) : 50-52

ABSTRACT Vaginal adenosis, without a history of diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure, is a rare condition with an unclear etiology. A 40- year-old female presented with complaints of persistent excessive watery vaginal discharge. On examination, there was red, patchy, diffuse lesion all over the vaginal wall and cervix. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed vaginal adenosis. This case is presented here for its rarity. How to cite this article Hena SNB, Akhter N, Das S, Kutubi A.

ABSTRACT Transverse vaginal septum is a rare mullerian duct anomaly due to vertical fusion defect. A 21-year-old female presented with secondary amenorrhea and lower abdominal pain for 6 years. She had past history of hematocolpos due to transverse vaginal septum 6 years back and was operated twice for the same. First, the hematocolpos was aspirated, the tract was dilated and evacuation of hematocolpos was done. Fibrosis occurred after 2 months and amenorrhea persisted for 6 years. Second, incomplete resection of the fibrosed transverse vaginal septum was done and a mold was kept for 1 year. On examination, recurrent fibrosis of transverse vaginal septum leading to hematometra and hematocolpos was found. Complete resection of septum with double breasting of vaginal mucosa was done. Drain was kept in vagina for 7 days. Patient was advised to keep the mold for 1 and half year. How to cite this article Paryani D, Desai A, Shah K, Patel SN.

We report a case of unexpected anal squamous cells carcinoma found in hemorrhoidectomy specimen. The patient had a 3-year history of prolapsing hemorrhoids. A prolapsing hemorrhoid was present at eleven o’clock in lithotomy. Milligan-Morgan was performed and gross examination of the specimen was unremarkable. Histopathologic evaluation showed noninvasive squamous cells carcinoma. The present case report evidences the opportunity of routine histopathologic analysis of hemorrhoidal specimens particularly in case of long-standing prolapse. Questions arise in the option of those techniques where no specimens are collected or tissue is excised far from deceased area.

Use of tooth as a promising replacement substitute has been validated by various animal as well as human studies. Though widely used in GBR and Sinus grafting techniques, its use in periodontal intrabony defect is not documented. In the present case report, the tooth graft has been placed in periodontal intrabony defect. Post-operative CBCT after 26 weeks revealed homogeneous incorporation of tooth graft. Clinical parameters show bone fill. However; results with larger sample size could further validate the use of tooth graft in periodontal regeneration.

SummaryGallstone ileus accounts for 1-4% of mechanical bowel obstruction. As the patients are elderly, significant co-morbidity is frequent, therefore early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment is mandatory to prevent patient’s death. The aim of the present case report is to heighten the awareness of surgeons to the occurrence and differential diagnostics of gallstone ileus. Here we describe recurrent intestinal obstruction in an elderly lady with previously treated peritonitis as well as history of hip joint prosthesis and mitral valve replacement.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
