Lymphangiomas are benign tumours of the lymphatic system, andthere are several reported cases of scrotal lymphangioma in theliterature to date. We report a rare case of multilocular cutaneouslymphangiomatosis treated with surgical excision (total scrotectomyand reconstruction using split-thickness skin grafts withvacuum-assisted closure dressing).

Lipomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin (mature adipocytes) that are comparatively uncommon in the oral cavity corresponding to less than 4.4% of all benign oral soft tissue tumors. Clinically, they present as slow growing, soft, asymptomatic masses. Histopathologically, they appear as thinly encapsulated lesion composed of mature adipocytes with inconspicuous vascularity. The pathogenetic mechanisms of oral lipomas are still unclear. They are usually treated by surgical excision and bear excellent prognosis. Here we report a case of intraoral lipoma in 54 year old male patient in the left lower lingual alveolar mucosal region that was treated by surgical excision using electrocautery without any postsurgical complication. One-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence.

ABSTRACTHuman coenurosis is a rare zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of Tinea multiceps seen in sheep-rearing countries. We report the case of a 63-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with a working diagnosis of skull base chondrosarcoma. Histopathological examination after surgical excision revealed characteristic feature of coenurus with multiple scolices invaginating from the outer cuticular layer. Coenuri are often mistaken for giant cysticercal cysts and hydatid cysts. Despite its wide prevalence in cattle, only two cases of human coenurosis are reported from India till date. We report the third case from India.

AbstractLiposarcoma in the inguinal region though rare are clinically significant lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult since the clinical findings are very similar to that of inguinal hernia. We report a rare case of Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in 85 year old male, clinically diagnosed as left sided indirect inguinal hernia. Surgical excision specimen showed multiple globular lipomatous masses which were yellowish and grey tan with areas of myxoid degeneration and necrosis seen. Microscopic examination showed adipocytes arranged in lobules with numerous blood vessels, lipoblasts and myxoid stroma confirming the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma. He is on regular follow up since two years without any recurrence or metastasis. Our case report highlights the importance of sampling and examination of fatty masses in the inguinal region to rule out the possibility of liposarcoma as they are mistaken for lipoma at surgery.

Abstract Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare, aggressive malignant odontogenic tumor. AFS is seen most frequently in second and third decades of life. We are reporting a case of a low grade AFS in a 21-year-old male complaining of a painless swelling in the right side of the maxilla. The patient was treated with surgical excision followed by radiotherapy, which is considered the most effective approach for most of soft tissue sarcomas. AFS has a high-reported recurrence rate (up to 37%); therefore, long-term surveillance for recurrence is crucial.

Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. They are broadly classified in to Compound Odontoma and Complex Odontoma. Among them complex odontoma is a rare tumor. Occasionally this tumor becomes large, causing expansion of bone followed by facial asymmetry. Otherwise these tumors are asymptomatic and are generally diagnosed on radiographic examination. We report a rare case of complex odontoma of mandible in a young boy. The tumor was treated by surgical excision under general anesthesia.

Background: Cystic hygroma (cystic lymphangioma) is a malformation of the lymphatic system. It is rare in adults and trauma may be the cause in some cases. Surgical and non-surgical treatment methods have been described in the management of cystic hygroma. Case Report: A 38-year-old woman, known case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), presented a huge cystic formation in the posterior aspect of her thigh following trauma. We treated the patient using a combination of three treatment methods including surgical excision, intra-cavity bleomycin injection, and post-operative use of compression pants. Conclusion: Huge post-traumatic cystic hygroma in adults is rare. By the combination of the above three therapeutic regimens, there was no cystic lesion recurrence after eight months.

ABSTRACT Aim To report on a patient with Eagle's syndrome with a complete and very large ossification of the stylohyoid complex on the right side that to our best knowledge has never been published previously. Background Eagle's syndrome is characterized by a set of symptoms that are caused by the irritation of the neurovascular and soft-tissues caused by an elongated styloid process or ossification of stylohyoid ligament. Case description Because of the high discomfort and pain degree as well as limitations of mandibular and head mobility and also the thickness of the ossified stylohyoid chain, the patient was treated surgically by removing the hypertrophic segment. Conclusion These symptoms subsided completely after the surgical excision of the anomaly. The elongated styloid process on the left side was symptom free. Clinical significance Eagle's syndrome symptoms are not specific and can mimic those of other disorders, the syndrome must be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with pain in the orofacial, pharyngeal and cervical area.

<p class="abstract">Nasolabial cysts are rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue developmental cysts occur in the maxillary lip and nasal alar regions. Patients usually presents with an asymptomatic soft swelling with obliteration of the nasolabial fold. Due to it's origin from entrapped epithelium in an embryonic fusion plane developmentally, this cyst is considered to be a Hamartoma. Hamartomas are non-neoplastic malformations, or inborn errors of tissue development. They are characterized by an abnormal mixture of tissues indigenous to that area of the body. Complete surgical excision is the accepted method of treatment. This report aimed to present a case of nasolabial cyst hamartoma, which is rare in presentation.</p>
