Choristomas are normal tissue in an abnormal location and are classified based on their predominant epithelial lining. They may contain fibrous tissue, skeletal muscle fibres, and nerve fibres. Neuromuscular choristoma (benign triton tumour) is a rare tumour that involves a large nerve trunk. Involvement of the cranial nerves by this lesion is exceptional; trigeminal nerve involvement is even rarer. This is a very rare case of intracranial trigeminal nerve neuromuscular choristoma which had an associated fatty component that also got ruptured, in a 30-year-old female who presented with a headache. The clinical presentation, radiological findings, pathological diagnosis for this case are discussed along with a review of the associated literature.

Hydatid disease is common in the tropics. It is caused by infection with the larval stage of Echinococcus tapeworm. Infestation of humans, who are accidentally the intermediate host, occurs from ingestion of water or food contaminated by fecal material of definitive host (dog, wolves, deer, sheeps). The most frequent organ of involvement is the liver in up to 70%, followed by the lung about 18% and with a lower reported incidence in other organs or tissues in the body. It primarily affects the liver and shows typical imaging findings. However clinical presentation varies widely and is non specific. Thus, imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of hydatid diseases. Ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can depict hydatid disease. The imaging methods used depend on involved organ and the radiological findings which range from purely cystic lesions to completely solid appearance. We report a very rare case of a calcified huge hydatid cyst in a 42 year old patient to buttress the role of imaging in management of such cases.

Background: Foramen magnum meningiomas are challenging tumors, requiring special considerations because of the vicinity of the medulla oblongata, the lower cranial nerves, and the vertebral artery. After detailing the relevant anatomy of the foramen magnum area, we will explain our classification system based on the compartment of development, the dural insertion, and the relation to the vertebral artery. Method: A 35 years age lady with foramen magnum meningioma was operated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University 6 months back. A case report was taken before surgery and 6 month follow up was done after operation. Conclusion: As foramen magnum meningioma is very difficult to approach, with the help of microscope with proper training. We can remove completely without any deficit.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i3.21031

Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) is a rare benign ovarian tumor of the sex cord stromal type, occurring predominantly in the second and third decades of life. This tumour is characterized microscopically by having a pseudolobular pattern with cellular areas separated by hypocellular densely hyalinised, edematous stroma interspersed with few prominent blood vessels. Histopathological features which differentiate it from other stromal tumors. We are presenting this case because of its rarity and its simulation with various other ovarian tumours; here we have made an effort to highlight the his tomorphological features and microscopic differential diagnoses of this rare tumour

Benign cementoblastoma is a rare ectomesenchymal odontogenic tumor that originates from the root of the tooth and that is characterized by the formation of cementum-like tissue. A 60-year old man was referred to us complaining of pain in his right jaw. The patient underwent TC dental scan of the mandible, which highlighted the presence of three well-circumscribed, round, unilocular neoformations of radiopaque appearance with a radiotransparent edge, one of which was in close contact with the roots of the lower right second molar. Microscopic examination of the greater sample consisted, in its central portion, of dense mineralized acellular trabeculae of basophilic tissue cement-like, devoid of vessels, adhering to the root of the tooth, while peripherally was observed a zone of vascularized osteoid surrounded, occasionally, by a thin rim of cementoblasts mixed with fibrous tissue and inflammatory elements. This lesion was diagnosed as cementoblastoma. The second lesion appeared radiologically and histologically entirely identical to cementoblastoma, but it did not show the intimate association with the root of involved tooth. After a careful review of the literature, the diagnosis of residual cementoblastoma was made. The clinicopathologic features, treatment, and prognosis of this rare tumor are here discussed for the young dental practitioner.

AbstractNeurovascular compression syndromes are compression of cranial nerves by blood vessels leading to troublesome symptoms. They mostly occur due to a single vessel loop compression. Here, we report two rare cases with simultaneous fifth and eighth nerve compression by anterior inferior cerebellar artery and superior cerebellar artery loops together.

Lipoleiomyoma is a rare, benign lipoid tumor of the uterus. Histologically, these tumors are composed of variable amount of smooth muscles with lobules of adipocytes separated by thin brous tissue. They primarily occur in obese postmenopausal women and often remain asymptomatic. Imaging plays a crucial role in determining the intrauterine location along with the fatty component of these tumors. Treatment of these tumors depends on the extent and severity of the patient's symptoms. Hereby, we report a case of lipoleiomyoma in a 51-year-old woman with brief review of literature
