Synovial Osteochondromatosis

We report here a rare presentation of a primary synovial osteochondromatosis of the elbow. Clinical presentation and radiological findings were suggestive of synovial osteochondromatosis. Arthroscopic synovectomy, debridement, excisional biopsy and loose body removal was performed and histopathological examination of the tissue sample is consistent with the diagnosis of synovial osteochondromatosis. This article highlights the surgical technique in managing synovial chondromatosis to achieve better functional outcome

Nodular fasciitis is a benign tumor, resulting from reactive proliferation composed of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic cells. Due to its rapid growth and high cellularity it may be mistaken for sarcoma. Despite the possibility of spontaneous regression, excision is the treatment of choice. A 24-year-old female patient presented with a nodule on the zygomatic region with 3 months of evolution. Excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination associated with immunohistochemical markers HHF35, AML and Ki-67 allowed diagnostic confirmation. The main relevance of the case presented is its rare location, suggesting its inclusion among the differential diagnoses of tumor lesions on the face.

Pediatric Age Group

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, usually benign disorder affecting the population predominantly in the third and fourth decades of life and mainly involving the large weightbearing joints of the lower limb—the knees and the hip. In this report, we highlight an unusual pediatric clinical presentation of synovial osteochondromatosis involving the subtalar joint and discuss its surgical management; we also provide a comprehensive up-to-date literature review of the disorder. This patient was successfully treated with en masse surgical excision. He has been doing well, with complete pain relief and improved range of motion at 1-year follow-up. An exceptional involvement of the subtalar joint and an unusual presentation in the pediatric age group makes this case unique.

Conjunctival capillary haemangiomas are very rare above 40 years of age group, with few cases reported in the literature. Adding to the scanty literature of this uncommon vascular tumour, we present the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with a nodular growth in the conjunctiva without any associated systemic diseases or cutaneous lesion. Excisional biopsy of the mass was done. Histopathological examination showed lobulated capillary haemangioma which is very rare in this age group.

<p class="abstract">Intramuscular hemangioma contribute to less than 1% of all hemangioma forming around 0.8%. It is commonly located in trunk and extremities. Only 10 to 20% can be found in the head and neck region arising from masseter and trapezius. We present a rare case of a young male with intramuscular hemangioma of masseter muscle. A 20 year old male patient presented to the OPD with complaints of swelling over right side of face over parotid region for the past 6 years. On clinical examination, there was a oblong swelling of about 3×2 cm around the right parotid region. In MRI neck the features were suggestive of intramuscular hemangioma in the right masseter muscle. The patient was planned for an excisional biopsy. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of intramuscular hemangioma. Although intramuscular hemangioma of masseter is a very rare possibility, still it should be kept in consideration in the list of differential diagnoses of the tumours around parotid region. As this diagnosis will make a difference in the work up plan and management of the patient.</p>

The One

Retroperitoneal space is called sometimes no man�s land�and for a good reason: this is disputed anatomical territory for many surgical and medical specialties. Their wide histological diversity and unspecific clinical presentation make them a challenge for the surgeon. In order to improve their detection immunohistochemistry seems to show promising results. Methods of detection have evolved over time to identify as much as possible the histological type of tumor. Because of this extreme variability immunohistochemistry through its various markers is the one that often sets the definitive diagnosis, the simple histopathological examination being insufficient. This paper aims to highlight the main markers used in retroperitoneal tumors. As it can be seen there is a huge histologic areal for these tumors. Some have proven some of them still not. Given the fact that there is a tendency toward personalized therapy it is imperative to identify the histological type of tumor as soon as possible.

Unusual Lesion

Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, often fatal, neuroendocrine cutaneous malignancy with a highly variable clinical presentation. Due to the rapid progression of the disease, early detection and treatment is vital to survival. Here, we report the case of a 45-year-old woman whose podiatrist noticed an unusual lesion on her lower left leg and referred her to a dermatologist for work-up. A diagnostic excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and was followed by treatment that included wide local excision of the primary lesion with subsequent chemotherapy and radiation. At the time of diagnosis, sentinel lymph node biopsy was positive. Due to the increasing prevalence of Merkel cell carcinoma in the past decade and its propensity to present on the lower extremity, podiatric physicians need to be aware of the clinical presentation and treatment guidelines for this elusive disease.

Nasosinus metastases from kidney cancer are an unusual clinical presentation although some cases are reported in the literature. Among these cases, sphenoidal metastases are even rarer. Here we report a case of lone sphenoid metastasis in patients with papillary renal cell cancer. Eight months after radical nephrectomy, the patient presented with progressively worsening diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass in the right sphenoid sinus. Histopathological examination of the biopsy sample confirmed diagnosis of sinonasal metastasis from papillary renal cell carcinoma. The patient was declined for surgical management and received stereotactic body radiation therapy. Reassessment MRI at 4 months showed a complete response of the treated sphenoid lesion.

Retrospective Case

Purpose: To describe the risk factors, clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of patients with bilateral ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN). Methods: Retrospective case series. Results: Of the 25 patients with bilateral OSSN, the mean age at diagnosis of OSSN was 31 years (median, 24 years; range, 2–60 years). Risk factors for bilateral OSSN included xeroderma pigmentosum ( n = 15, 60%), human immunodeficiency virus infection ( n = 3, 12%), conjunctival xerosis ( n = 1, 4%), and topical steroid use ( n = 1, 4%). There were no identifiable ocular or systemic risk factors in 7 (28%) patients. Presentation was synchronous in 14 (56%) and metachronous in 11 (44%) patients. Tumor morphology was bilaterally similar in 12 (48%) patients. Histopathological examination ( n = 36) revealed conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1 in 4 (8%); grade 2 in 7 (14%); carcinoma in situ in 5 (10%), and invasive carcinoma in 20 (40%). Primary management of OSSN ( n = 49) included excisional biopsy ( n = 31, 62%), topical immunotherapy (IFN α2B) ( n = 11; 22%), topical Mitomycin C (MMC) ( n = 3, 6%), enucleation ( n = 1, 2%), orbital exenteration ( n = 2, 4%), and plaque brachytherapy (PBT) ( n = 1, 2%). One patient was lost to follow-up after detection of tumor in the second eye. Recurrent tumors were noted in 16 (32%) eyes and binocular globe salvage was achieved in 16 (64%) patients at a mean follow up of 41 months (median 30 months; range, 1–164 months). Conclusion: OSSN occurrence can be synchronous or metachronous. Meticulous examination of the fellow eye is important for an early diagnosis of OSSN.

Summary:Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is rare in adult patients. Clinical presentation in intial phases of SSPE may be non-specific leading to diagnostic delay. We present a 24-year-old patient with depressive syndrome of five months' duration prior to the onset of typical features of SSPE, which is a rare presentation. This patient had responded partially to Sertraline, for a brief period, before he was diagnosed to have SSPE. This case illustrates affective symptoms can be the presenting features of SSPE in adults.
