Scalp Skin

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a rare condition of the scalp characterized by convoluted folds and furrows produced by the excessive growth of the skin of the scalp and resembling the cerebral gyri. CVG can be identified as primary—essential or nonessential—or secondary. Herein, we report the case of a 20-year-old female with primary essential CVG, who presented herself with thickened and convoluted skin folds over the vertex and parietal region of the scalp persistent for one year prior without other symptoms. CVG is a rare congenital or acquired disease distinguished by redundancy of the scalp skin that resembles the cerebral gyri. The management of primary essential CVG can be symptomatic or surgical depending on the patient’s aesthetic expectations.

Abstract Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition characterized by varying degrees of gingival hyperplasia. Gingival fibromatosis usually occurs as an isolated disorder or can be associated with a variety of other syndromes. A 33-year-old male patient who had a generalized severe gingival overgrowth covering two thirds of almost all maxillary and mandibular teeth is reported. A mucoperiosteal flap was performed using interdental and crevicular incisions to remove excess gingival tissues and an internal bevel incision to reflect flaps. The patient was treated 15 years ago in the same clinical facility using the same treatment strategy. There was no recurrence one year following the most recent surgery.

Cutis Verticis Gyrata

Cutis verticis gyrata is a rare condition characterized by excessive growth of skin of the scalp, resulting in furrows and folds similar to gyri of the cortex of brain. It can be classified into two forms: primary (essential and non-essential) and secondary. We report a case of 18-year-old male patient with primary essential cutis verticis gyrata with rugosities over forehead and scalp and coarse facial features.

Angioedema may be a rare condition that manifests itself by abrupt localized edema caused by the fluid outflow from blood vessels into surrounding skin and tissue. This case report presents a 54-year old male patient with chronic angioedema (lip) for one year without urticaria. Six months ago, he approached the local clinic and used regular antihistamines by the physician advice. Still, there was no improvement in patient condition. Then he came to the outpatient department of internal medicine of our hospital. Therefore, we have done a series of investigations, in then he diagnosed with Hypothyroidism (TSH 8.05UIu/ml). Then he has prescribed levothyroxine 25mcg. After one month's review, he examined for Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (Anti-TPO). In that examination, those were positive or elevated (mild). According to our research, this may probably be the first autoimmune thyroid disease associated with chronic angioedema without urticaria or hives.

Introduction: Collagenous colitis (CC) is a rare condition that is known to complicate inflammatory bowel diseases, but its relationship with celiac disease (CD) is more controversial. Aims: To report a case of CC that developed in a patient with CD and was manifested by rectal erosions at onset. Case report: A 46-year-old woman was diagnosed with CD and placed on a gluten-free diet. After an initial phase of improvement, her diarrhea resumed, and she began to lose weight. Despite strict adherence to the diet, the patient's diarrhea worsened. One year after diagnosis, colonoscopy was performed and mucosal biopsies were collected, but the findings were inconclusive. Two months later, the previously watery diarrhea became bloody, and a second colonoscopy was performed. Histological examination of the biopsy specimens revealed rectal erosions and CC. The patient was treated with oral prednisone plus mesalazine for 6 weeks, and her symptoms immediately disappeared. Mesalazine was continued, and the prednisone was then gradually replaced with budesonide. Six months after the CC diagnosis, the patient was asymptomatic, and a second colonoscopy revealed no macroscopic or microscopic signs of CC. She continues to take mesalazine and budesonide. An attempt to taper the dosage of the latter drug from 6 to 3 mg/day caused the reappearance of the diarrhea. Conclusion: CC is rarely associated to CD and can cause bloody diarrhea. Excellent results were obtained in this case with prednisone plus mesalazine followed by maintenance therapy with budesonide plus mesalazine.

Introduction. Pheochromocytoma of the urinary bladder is a rare tumor and presents less than 0.06% of all urinary bladder tumors. Case report. We presented a 49-year-old female patient with a history of daily paroxysmal hypertension accompanied with flushing of the face and upper chest, palpitations and excessive sweating prior to micturition. Ultrasonography reported a 3 cm bladder wall tumor. The 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) scan showed a pathological isotope accumulation in the projection of the bladder. The patient underwent a partial cystectomy. One year following the operation the patient was normotensive and without recurrence. Conclusion. The most efficient treatment option for bladder pheochromocytoma is surgical resection. The most important fact in the diagnostics is suspicion on this rare condition.

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous condition that is usually a part of syndrome or, rarely, an isolated disorder. It is characterized by a slowly progressive, non hemorrhagic, fibrous enlargement of keratinized gingiva which usually begins at the time of eruption of permanent dentition, however very few cases involving the primary teeth have been described in literature. Congenital gingival fibromatosis is very rare condition in which the gingival tissues become thickened and erupting teeth remain submerged beneath hyperplastic tissue masses. This case report discusses the rare case of congenital non syndromic idiopathic gingival fibromatosis in a two year old boy who reported with absence of teeth and incompetent lips. Gingivectomy was done using modified microdissection electrocautery needle to remove the excess gingival tissues. Excised tissue has been examined histologically. The patient was followed up for a period of one year and no recurrence was observed.

Clinical recurrence of prostate cancer manifested as a testicular mass is an extremely rare condition. We report a case of a 58-year-old patient with a testicular tumor who underwent orchiectomy 7 years after radical prostatectomy. The pathology analysis confirmed metastasis from prostate carcinoma. After one year, the patient had no signs of biochemical and clinical recurrence. This argues for considering metastasectomy in such patients.

CONTEXT: Ossification in the human penis is such a rare condition that only 34 histologically evident cases have previously been reported. Among several conditions that have been correlated with this problem the most frequent is Peyronie disease. In all these conditions, human penile ossification appears to be a metaplastic bone formation process. CASE REPORT: A 59-year-old white man presented with a one-year history of slight pain upon erection and during intercourse. He also complained of hard plaque near the base of the penis. One year earlier, he had sustained blunt trauma during intercourse. Examination of the penis revealed a fixed firm mass extending over the proximal third of the penile shaft, measuring 3.0 x 3.0 x 2.0 cm and involving the corporal sponge, without surface extension. There was no impotence or other relevant clinical finding. Radiography on the penis revealed irregular calcification in the same position as the palpable mass and in the septum of the proximal inner third of the penis. The importance of this report lies in the extent of the human penile ossification, as demonstrated by the radiological and histological confirmation.

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is characterized by extensive formation of scalp skin that mirrors the folds of the cerebral gyri. Giant CVG secondary to cerebriform intradermal nevus (CIN) has been rarely reported, and its management mainly involves surgical excision. In certain cases of giant CVG, however, surgical excision is dilemmatic. This case report describes a giant CVG secondary to CIN that was successfully managed with scalp expansion and surgical excision. Previously published studies are also reviewed.

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis is a relatively rare condition characterized by the proliferation of the gingival tissues resulting in masticatory, esthetics, phonetics and psychological disturbances. We present a case with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and mandibular arches extending on buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces and covering incisal/occlusal third of the tooth in the left maxillary region. Gingivectomy was carried out in all four quadrants. Periodic recalls showed maintenance of good oral hygiene and one year follow-up revealed no recurrence.JCMS Nepal. 2015;11(1): 26-28
