This is a case of carotid body tumour at right side of neck region with initially diagnosed as paraganglioma. A 22 year old female patient with an history of pain and swelling at right side of neck region with intermittent headache difficulty during deglutination. Patient has taken medication for pulmonary kochs for 8 months. Now presented with the mentioned complaints with a swelling at right side swelling at neck region. The features and the correlation with MRI report diagnosed as paraganglioma and then on Histopathologic examination showed a tumour mass composed of two different areas admixed with each other either alternatively or diffusely. The final pathological impression was Neurilemmoma (Schwannoma).The diagnosis was definitive with no evidence of paraganglioma.

A 52-year-old female patient, para 2 live 2, who attained surgical menopause 10 years back, presented to the outpatient department (OPD) with complaints of white discharge per vagina for 6 months, which was watery in consistency and was not associated with foul smell or itching vulva. She had history of hysterectomy done for fibroid uterus 10 years back. On examination, she was afebrile and vital signs were within normal limits. Per abdomen examination, was normal, while, per speculum examination revealed a watery discharge per vaginum. The per vaginal examination revealed a firm, non-tender, globular mass felt arising from the vaginal vault and the mass did not bleed on touch. A globular mass of size 3 x 4 cms, pinkish white in colour, was seen occupying the whole of the vaginal vault with curdy white precipitates in the vaginal rugosities as well as over the mass.

Abstract. Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a rare cause of bone and joint infections. We report a case of calcaneal osteomyelitis due to this microorganism with a review of all published. A 23-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of pain and inflammation in the calcaneus area. Osteomyelitis was suspected at this location based on computed tomography images. Culture of six bone biopsies and surrounding tissue resulted in the isolation of H. parainfluenzae. Surgical drainage and debridement was performed, and antibiotic treatment was prescribed, resolving the infection.

Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare benign vascular lesion that presents as a nodular lesion in the skin of head and neck region. It is a superficial vascular entity which can either be due to tumor or reactive lesion, but the exact etiology is still unknown. We hereby present a rare case which has been reported with the history of small nodular-like growth on mandibular buccal and lingual area. The excisional biopsy was performed and tissue was submitted for histopathological diagnosis. The immunohistochemistry was performed to check the expression of CD31 marker which proved that origin of epithelioid cells was vascular.

Vertebral Duplication represents the most severe aspect of the spectrum of Split Cord Malformations. It is a rare anomaly with very few reported cases. Associated other spinal anomalies along with severe neurovascular and genitourinary anomalies may also co-exist. We are reporting a case of a 21 years old adult female patient, who presented with history of trauma, incidentally detected to be having complete lumbar duplication along with dural sac duplication and multiple complex segmentation anomalies in the form of incarcerated lateral hemi-vertebra, butterfly vertebra and non-segmented lateral hemi-vertebra at D10 to D12 vertebrae. On Computed Tomography (CT) imaging these anomalies become well evident while the patient presented with no neurological manifestations or abnormalities. This is a rarely reported scenario in literature where no neurological symptoms are seen in a case of vertebral duplication.

A 30-year-old woman was referred to the ear, nose and throat clinic by her primary care physician for a 10-year history of an asymptomatic, large, right-sided neck mass. On examination, the patient had a palpable, non-tender, five-by-four centimetre, mobile, right-sided level II neck mass. CT scan with intravenous contrast showed an enhancing mass with multiple fluid cavities, splaying the external carotid and internal carotid arteries, concerning for a carotid body tumour. Patient was then referred to interventional radiology for angiography and embolisation prior to definitive surgical excision. However, when the mass was then excised surgically, final pathology identified the mass as a ganglioneuroma. Patient recovered well postoperatively with some ptosis of the right eye and symptoms consistent with first bite syndrome, treated with conservative measures.

Ganglioneuromas are a very rare benign neural tumor, commonly derived from the ganglia of the sympathetic system, and are composed of mature Schwann cells, ganglion cells, and nerve fibres. They may arise anywhere from the base of the skull to the pelvis along the paravertebral sympathetic plexus. We report a rare case of synchronous ganglioneuroma and schwannoma, mistaken for carotid body tumor. The coexistence of these two entities in head and neck region is very rare.

Malakoplakia is a rare chronic granulomatous disease found in the genitourinary tract, mainly. It is considered to be related to immunosuppression and/or infectious processes. We would like to present an operative case of cecal malakoplakia in a patient with a history of surgical resection and chemotherapy for cervical cancer. A 74-year-old female patient visited our hospital for 1-year follow-up after operation and chemo-radiotherapy for cervical cancer. An infiltrative mass of 6 cm, between the cecal base and the right psoas muscle, was observed on computed tomography. An ileocectomy was performed for diagnosis. Histopathologic examination revealed cecal malakoplakia. After surgery, based on previous reports, antibiotics therapy was added. Then the patient was discharged and treated in the outpatient clinic. To our knowledge, a rare case has been described of cecal malakoplakia during observation after surgery and chemo-radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Malakoplakia is known to be related to immunosuppressive condition. Therefore, our case suggests that close observation should be made in patients on immunosuppressive condition, such as chemotherapy.

Carotid body tumour (CBT) is one of the most common jugular paraganglioma involving the carotid body chemoreceptors. We report the case of a 22 year young man who presented with complain of large painless progressive swelling in right upper neck for 3 years duration. On examination, swelling appeared pulsatile and arising from carotid vessel. MRI Neck and MRA performed revealed large well defined hypervascular mass lesion encasing right common carotid artery, its bifurcation and ECA, with feeders from ECA. Patient was undertaken for surgical excision (Shamblin Grade-III) through exposure in neck, extended by midline sternotomy and mandibulotomy approach, tumour was completely dissected. Patient recovered well from surgery without any sequale. HPE revealed CB paraganglioma. At two years follow up, he is recurrence free. The surgical removal of CBT has a good result.
