Review Of The Literature

Nodular fasciitis is a rare disease, and its diagnosis is difficult. We present a case report of a seven-year-old child with progredient swelling of the left pectoralis muscle three weeks after trauma. After histopathological diagnosis, we performed complete resection. Normally, a conservative approach with regular follow-up is regarded as appropriate since nodular fasciitis does have the capability to regress spontaneously. Since recent publications indicate the possibility of malignant transformation, the complete primary resection also has to be discussed as therapy of choice.

The study includes 25 cases of pituitary adenomas. Most common age group by pituitary tumors falls between 41-50 years of age. Male: Female incidence of these tumors is 1: 2.12. Most common clinical symptoms in our series are visual disturbances followed by headache. Optic nerve involvement is other common clinical nding presenting in form of decreased vision or loss of vision, eld defect or fundus changes. Commonest eld defect is bitemporal hemianopia. MRI is the diagnostic investigation of choice in pituitary tumors to dene extent, invasion and relationship to major vessels and nerves. Approximately half (44%) of the patients exhibited normal preoperative pituitary function in form of baseline hormone prole. Increased GH level (32%) followed by hyperprolactinemia (20%) are the most common endocrinologic abnormalities. Total/near total removal was done in 21 patients (84%) and subtotal removal done in 4 patients (16%). Adjuvant therapies were given in 5 patients. Two patients were given radiotherapy and 3 were given pharmacotherapy. Post operative complications were CSF leak, diabetes insipidus and meningitis. 20 patients (80%) had improvement in their symptoms including relief from headache, improvement in vision and endocrinal dysfunction. Post operatively visual functions improved in 13 patients (52%) and it remained stationary in 11 (44%) patients. Only one patient (4%) complained of worsening of his visual function and it was improved in follow up period

An inflammatory gingival mass surrounding resorbing teeth was diagnosed via biopsy in a 9-year-old domestic shorthair cat. A dorsal rim excision was performed to remove the entire mass with associated teeth and bone. Histopathological diagnosis of the en bloc tissue revealed an odontogenic fibromyxoma. Extensive literature review revealed few case reports of companion animals with this neoplasm, and none in a feline patient. This report documents the clinical presentation, diagnostic differentials, surgical therapy, and long-term follow-up of an odontogenic fibromyxoma in a cat.

Microscopic Features

Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign reactive process affecting superficial and deep fascia. Its rapid growth, rich cellularity, high mitotic activity and poorly circumscribed nature result in it being easily misdiagnosed as a sarcomatous lesion. Three cases of nodular fasciitis presenting as neck lumps are reported. They were successfully treated with local excision, with no signs of recurrence following two years of follow up. This paper describes the clinical presentation and microscopic features of this rare benign lesion and it emphasizes the need for accurate histopathology and clinical suspicion, if inappropriate aggressive management is to be avoided.

Introduction: Central giant-cell is a benign lesion that predominantly involves the bone of the mandible and maxilla with a wide variation of its behavior. Surgery usually is the first choice in treatment of central giant cell granuloma.Case Report: In this case report we present a 29 years-old female with well define swelling on left maxilla. Diagnosis through incisional biopsy showed a central giant cell granuloma. Surgery with curettage was our treatment option with a follow up( 2 years ), No recurrence was reported.Discussion: Information on the maxillary central giant cell granuloma in published studies is insufficient. So here we present our case as unusual case presentation. Differential diagnosis of this case included osteosarcoma (parosteal type) since the tumor clinical presentation in periosteous tissue adjacent to the bone cortex and showed rapid growth. We chose the conventional surgical treatment by simple surgical curettage by mid-face degloving approach to avoid any facial scaring.

Mucoceles arising from the Blandin Nuhn glands are uncommon benign lesions of the oral cavity, which by their clinical presentation may be confused with more serious diseases such as vascular lesions, pyogenic granulomas, polyps, or squamous papillomas; thereby, it is convenient to be aware of the characteristics of this entity to guide the accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a case of a 10-year-old patient with a recurrent lesion of this type, which required surgical excision and marsupialization of the same, with no evidence of recurrence during follow-up.

Rare Case Report

Mucocoele of appendix and partial non-rotation of gut are rare pathological entities, and when they are present together they pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties due to atypical clinical presentation. This dilemma of varied clinical presentation can lead to delayed diagnosis and complications, thereby adversely affecting patient management and outcome. We report a 33 year old lady, presenting with intermittent abdominal pain in the periumbillical since 3 months diagnosed to have an appendiceal mucocoele with partial non rotation of gut on imaging. The patient underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and was discharged on post operative day 1 following an uneventful course with no recurrence on 6 months of follow up. Histopathology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of mucocoele of appendix with no evidence of malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of mucocoele of appendix with partial non rotation of gut managed with minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE The complex regional anatomic features surrounding the sella turcica make the differential diagnosis of intrasellar and parasellar lesions complicated. Sellar and parasellar schwannomas are rare. With the exclusion of parasellar schwannomas arising from cranial nerves within the cavernous sinus and extending into the sella, there have been only two reported cases of true intrasellar schwannomas. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We describe the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of two cases in which the histopathological diagnosis of schwannoma was confirmed with immunohistochemical analyses and/or electron microscopy. INTERVENTION The two cases were grossly resected via a transsphenoidal approach. Follow-up monitoring revealed no evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSION Schwannomas may atypically occur in the sellar region, in which they demonstrate the typical light microscopic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features observed in the peripheral nervous system. New and existing hypotheses regarding the histopathogenesis of intrasellar and parasellar schwannomas are presented.

Objective. We report an extremely rare case of ganglioneuroma involving the external auditory canal and middle ear. Case Report. Ganglioneuromas are rare benign mature tumors thought to originate from sympathetic ganglions, with the highest incidence in the retroperitoneum, adrenal medulla, and posterior mediastinum. We present a case of ganglioneuroma of the external auditory canal and middle ear. At the age of 12 months, the patient was diagnosed with neuroblastoma stage IV with metastasis to the squamous temporal bone, bone marrow, and skull base. He received a high-risk protocol regimen resulting in complete remission. The patient later presented with recurrent right ear discharge at the age of six years and was diagnosed with ganglioneuroma of external auditory canal and middle ear after appropriate investigations. We report in this article the clinical presentation, investigations, surgical intervention, and follow-up. Conclusion. After the literature review and to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its kind. Ganglioneuroma maturing from neuroblastoma is one of the theories describing pathophysiology of the disease. Ganglioneuroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with recurrent ear discharge and decreased hearing in treated cases of neuroblastoma with metastases to temporal bone.
