Painless Mass

A 46-year old man was admitted with a scrotal long standing painless mass. The work up included physical examination, alpha- fetoprotein (αFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) analyses, scrotal ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and urethrocystoscopy. The patient underwent surgery. Surgical exploration revealed a separate mass between the testes extending superiorly with a thin stalk.  It was dissected easily to the anterior aspect of the seminal vesicles and removed from the junction to the seminal vesicles. Pathology reported an epidermoid cyst. To our knowledge this is the first case of a scrotal extratesticular epidermoid cyst attached to the seminal vesicles. Epidermoid cysts can be seen anywhere in the midline from the cranium to the anus.   Embriologically   abnormal closure of neural groove or epithelial fusion lines is one of the theories that seem more probable. Genital epidermoid cysts are rare, painless and usually located in the testes.  Up to date less than 10   case reports of extratesticular epidermoid cysts have been published.  For those cases malignancy may not be ruled out, so the surgical removal was advocated.

Ectopic Tooth

The aim of this study was to report two rare cases of ectopic tooth into the nasal cavity. The first case reports a 32-year-old female patient with the main complaint of having a tooth inside her nose. According to her, this condition causes pain and sporadic nosebleed. The patient had a facial trauma when she was 6 years old. The second case refers to an 8-year-old girl with left incomplete unilateral cleft lip and palate. The main complaint was left-sided nasal obstruction by a white hard mass. The treatment for both cases was surgical removal of the ectopic erupted tooth under general anesthesia. In conclusion, we can state that the surgical removal of intranasal tooth is a safe procedure and improves patient’s quality of life.

Epidermoid cysts are benign slow growing extra-axial tumours that insinuate between brain structures, while their occurrences in intra-axial or intradiploic locations are exceptionally rare. We present the clinical, imaging, and pathological findings in two patients with atypical epidermoid cysts. CT and MRI findings for the first case revealed an intraparenchymal epidermoid cyst that demonstrated no restricted diffusion. The second case demonstrated an aggressive epidermoid cyst that invaded into the intradiploic spaces, transverse sinus, and the calvarium. The timing of ectodermal tissue sequestration during fetal development may account for the occurrence of atypical epidermoid cysts.

Abstract Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a relatively rare but serious pathology associated with the use of bisphosphonates (BPs) and antiresorptive drugs in patients with bone metastases, multiple myeloma and osteoporosis. Various cases of patients with jaw bone necrosis due to BPs have recently been reported in the literature. Anti-angiogenic drugs are novel anticancer agents prescribed to patients with renal carcinoma, lung carcinoma, soft tissue metastases, etc. Anti-angiogenic drugs target the vascular endothelial growth factor’s (VEGF) signaling pathways via different mechanisms and thus inhibit tumor cell proliferation, neoangiogenesis and tumor growth. Several reports have suggested a higher incidence of MRONJ in patients treated with BPs in combination with anti-angiogenic drugs. However, there is currently no sufficient data in the literature about the risk of ONJ in patients taking anti-angiogenic drugs or cancer chemotherapy alone. We present two clinical cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients treated with chemotherapy, but no history of BPs. In the first case the necrosis is related to the anti-angiogenic agent sunitinib in a patient with lung metastases and in the second case- to complex chemotherapy in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. We recommend conservative treatment with antibiotics in both cases, together with antiseptics and surgical removal of the necrotic bone following total demarcation of the sequesters.

The incidence ranging of the dermoid and epidermoid cysts on the head and neck, from 1.6 to 7.0%, and they represent less than 0.01% of all oral cavity cysts. Histologically, they can be further classified as epidermoid, dermoid or teratoid. We analyzed two rare cases of large epidermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth, with sublingual as well as submental component resembling plunging ranula. Two female patients (age 15 and 16 y. o.), who’s had sublingual and submental swellings of oral floor with breathing and swallowing difficulties. The suspected clinical diagnosis of the sublingual dermoid or epidermoid cysts were supported by the radiological finding after performing ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the radiological investigation the differentiation between epidermoid cysts, ranulas, cystic tumours, mucous extravasation phenomena and hygromas sometimes indistinguishable, leading in the determination of internal component differentiation and has pathognomonic signs to differentiate. The lesions were surgically excised using an intraoral approach. Microscopic examinations revealed a dermoid cyst of the epidermoid type.

ABSTRACT Epidermoid cysts are common lesions, but malignant transformation of their epithelium is rare. There are few case reports in the literature concerning malignant transformation of an epidermal cyst into squamous cell carcinoma. Two epidermoid cysts occurring simultaneously in the neck is rare and not a single case report is available in the literature. One of the cysts transforming into squamous cell carcinoma and the other showing atypical changes is still the rarest and not reported till date. We present a case of two epidermal inclusion cysts in a patient out of which there were atypical changes in one cyst and other cyst showed squamous cell carcinoma.

AbstractWe report a case of a 16-year-old female patient harboring neurofibromatosis type 2 who presented with bilateral hearing impairment, which was on the left side, as well as facial paresis (House-Brackmann grade III) and ataxic gait. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam evidenced bilateral lesions in the cerebellopontine angles (CPAs) with extension into the internal acoustic meatus, and an additional lesion in the right CPA with radiological characteristics of an epidermoid cyst. The patient was submitted to microsurgical resection, confirming a collision of a vestibular schwannoma and an epidermoid cyst in the right CPA. In the present case report, we describe the first case reported in the literature with preoperative diagnostic work-up, intraoperative findings, postoperative course of the patient, as well as a detailed literature review of these specific coinciding pathologies, denoting the importance of further genomic studies regarding multiple central nervous system (CNS) lesions.

Background:Multiple xanthogranulomas (XGs) in adults are rare, although an increasing number of case reports are being published. The most frequent association is hematologic malignancies, but the majority of cases remain idiopathic, with occasional spontaneous resolution.Objective:The aims of this report are to describe a case of eruptive XG in a woman with a solid neoplasia who was receiving imatinib and to review the literature.Methods and Results:This 33-year-old woman had a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. After undergoing surgical removal and being on imatinib for 1 year, the patient developed multiple slightly erythematous papules with an orange hue on the axillary region, trunk, abdomen, and thighs. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of XG.Conclusion:This is to the investigators’ knowledge the first case of eruptive XG in the setting of a solid neoplasia. The possibility of drug-induced XG lesions due to imatinib cannot be excluded. This presentation could be added to the list of associations of adult XG.

Spinal epidermoid cysts are benign tumors. Syringomyelia secondary to intramedullary tumors are frequently observed. However, the association between syringomyelia and spinal intradural extramedullary epidermoid cyst in the conus medullaris region is extremely rare. We present the case of a 3-year-old male who was admitted with paraparesis and urinary retention. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine demonstrated intradural extramedullary lesion, compatible with epidermoid cyst, that at the conus medullaris level and a large syringomyelia extending from T4 to L1 vertebrae. Total microsurgical excision of the cyst was performed. No additional drainage was carried out for the syringomyelic cavity. Histopathological examination verified the diagnosis of the epidermoid cyst. Total excision of the cyst and disappearance of the syringomyelia were observed on MRI at 15 days postoperatively. We have clarified the etiology, clinical, histopathological and radiological features, differential diagnosis, and treatment modalities of spinal epidermoid cysts. In addition, we have discussed the possible mechanisms of syringomyelia formation in spinal intradural lesions.

Pyogenic sacroiliitis is rare and accounts for approximately 1-2% of osteoarticular infections in children. Considerable delay between presentation and diagnosis is recognized. Two cases of pyogenic sacroiliitis are described. The first case is a 28-month-old girl presented with acute onset of fever, pain in the left hip, and limpness. Computed tomography (CT), bone scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis showed characteristic findings of infectious sacroiliitis, and blood cultures were negatives. The second case is a 13-year-old girl presented with acute onset of fever, pain in the right hip, and buttock, with inability to walk. The diagnosis of pyogenic sacroiliitis was confirmed by bone scans, and CT of the pelvis and blood cultures have identifiedProteus mirabilis. The two children recovered fully after 6 weeks of antimicrobial therapy. Pyogenic sacroiliitis is an uncommon disease in children. The key to successful management is early diagnosis in which CT, bone scans, and MRI findings play a crucial role. If the diagnosis is established promptly, most patients can be managed successfully with antimicrobial therapy.
