Few Data

Palatal perforation is a lesion of various etiologies, including chronic intranasal abuse of cocaine. Only a few data, however, correlate this damage with heroin. The growing intranasal abuse of heroin and the fact that it is one of the five most popular drugs in most European countries, especially in the lower social classes, increase the need for further investigation of its effects on the oral cavity and nasopharynx. This report presents a case of chronic snorting of heroin, which caused perforation of the hard palate, the diagnostic approach, the selected surgical technique, the final outcome, as well as a review of literature.

Gingival Overgrowth

AbstractDrug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) secondary to chronic phenytoin intake for seizure control is a well-recognized phenomenon. Phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth (PIGO) usually resolves gradually following cessation of phenytoin intake. It is usually seen throughout the dentate regions of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches, but more severely affect their anterior portions exposed to atmosphere. We report a rare case of PIGO predominantly involving hard palate and floor of oral cavity, which has not been reported in English literature till date.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Hematuria is a critical symptom that should properly be investigated. One of the rare causes is renal papillary hypertrophy. Literature review revealed only few reported cases. Biopsy in reported cases has shown hyperplasia of renal papillae with normal histology. We report a case of bilateral renal papillary hypertrophy in a 32 years old female presented with intermittent gross hematuria. Computed tomgraphy urography, cystoscopy and selective cytology did not show any positive findings. Retrograde flexible uretero-renoscopy showed enlarged renal papillae protruding into upper and middle calyces of both kidneys with clots and active bleeding in some. Holmium:YAG Laser ablation of hypertrophic papillae showed an effective minimally invasive management of the condition.

Type Of Injury

ABSTRACT Lateral swivel dislocation, a subtype pattern of dislocations occurring at mid tarsal joint is a rare type of injury. A medially or laterally directed force applied to the forefoot causes dislocation of the talonavicular joint but not subtalar joint. The calcaneum alongwith the remaining foot swivels on the intact interosseous talocalcaneal ligament. The present case report is a more rare lateral swivel type of dislocation of talonavicular joint in a 25-year-old male. The article also presents a comprehensive review of literature and management of such type of injuries of the hindfoot . How to cite this article Kapila R, Verka Ps, Garg Rs, Ahmed M.

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia

Necrotizing Sialometaplasia is rare and in the oral cavity it accounts <1% of all biopsied lesion. For decades Necrotizing Sialometaplasia were treated by conservative management as it is a self healing lesion. The progressive healing period was reported from 2 weeks to 3 months in the literature. Is necrotizing sialometaplasia a self-limiting disease? Here we report a case of non-healing necrotizing sialometaplasia which was treated by surgical management. Complete regression of the lesion was evident after the surgical management and no recurrence until two years of follow-up.

Although osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, the incidence in head and neck bony structures is extremely low. As the surgical treatment requires a wide margin excision, the operation usually will be very challenging especially if it involves midline structures. We report a case of a young gentleman who had a bony growth over the epicenter of the hard palate which rapidly occupies the whole oral cavity within 6 months duration. The outline of management is discussed. Keywords: Osteosarcoma; hard palate. DOI: 10.3329/bjms.v10i1.7322 Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.10 No.1 Jan 2010 pp.57-59

Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma

AbstractWe report a very rare case of a 63-year-old man with penile carcinoma who developed brain metastasis. Brain metastasis from penile carcinoma is very rare, and only six cases have been reported so far as per our literature review. In view of controlled primary tumor and absence of systemic disease, tumor was excised and the patient remained clinically controlled till 3 months after follow-up.
