Rhinolithiasis due to supernumerary ectopic tooth: very rare case.

ABSTRACT: An ectopic supernumerary tooth causing the formation of rhinolith was never reported before in the medical literature. A 30 years old male patient presented to our hospital with one sided nasal obstruction, recurrent epistaxis, and nasal discharge. Anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy and X-ray paranasal sinuses revealed a rhinolith in the left nasal cavity. Preoperative evaluation and post operative examination of the specimen proved that the nidus of rhinolith was a supernumerary ectopic tooth.

Molecular genetics of supernumerary tooth formation.

Project description:Despite advances in the knowledge of tooth morphogenesis and differentiation, relatively little is known about the aetiology and molecular mechanisms underlying supernumerary tooth formation. A small number of supernumerary teeth may be a common developmental dental anomaly, while multiple supernumerary teeth usually have a genetic component and they are sometimes thought to represent a partial third dentition in humans. Mice, which are commonly used for studying tooth development, only exhibit one dentition, with very few mouse models exhibiting supernumerary teeth similar to those in humans. Inactivation of Apc or forced activation of Wnt/β(catenin signalling results in multiple supernumerary tooth formation in both humans and in mice, but the key genes in these pathways are not very clear. Analysis of other model systems with continuous tooth replacement or secondary tooth formation, such as fish, snake, lizard, and ferret, is providing insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying succesional tooth development, and will assist in the studies on supernumerary tooth formation in humans. This information, together with the advances in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, will pave ways for the tooth regeneration and tooth bioengineering.

A rare case of virilizing adult ectopic adrenal tumor.

Project description:Ectopic adrenal gland is an atypical medical condition with a prevalence of less than 1%. It occurs due to an abnormal gland development during embryonic life and can be found in different parts of the body. Rarely, these ectopic glands can be hormonally active and present as bulky masses. Herein we report a case of a patient who underwent laparoscopic surgery for a large myelolipoma associated with an androgen producing adenoma in an ectopic adrenal gland.

Spontaneous Pneumothorax due to Ectopic Deciduosis: A Case Report.

Project description:This report presents a 20-week pregnant 38-year-old woman with right-sided pneumothorax due to pulmonary deciduosis. Initial pleural drainage was ineffective. Video-assisted thoracoscopy revealed areas of consolidation within the lung parenchyma. A wedge resection with partial pleurectomy was performed. Histopathological examination showed subpleural decidual implants. The patient made a full recovery and was discharged on day 5. Videoscopic inspection of the lung parenchyma and pleura with resection of decidual foci is the recommended treatment for pneumothorax in pregnant women with pleuropulmonary deciduosis in whom classical pleural drainage is ineffective.

A Very Rare Case with Particular H-deficient Phenotypes.

Project description:Bombay phenotype, H partially deficient non secretor phenotype and Para-Bombay phenotype are rare blood groups with deficiency or absence of H antigen. A 52-year-old female with Chronic suppurative otitis media was referred to our hospital. The primary serologic results of ABO blood typing were discrepant in forward and reverse grouping. Further, the saliva secretion tests, the pedigree studies and the sequence analysis were performed to confirm the rare phenotype. The patient was diagnosed as a variant H-deficient phenotype, secretor (para-bombay). Red cells of the patient have no H antigens, and it's a very interesting thing that there were two opposite results in the saliva test by using different anti-H. The test showed that H substances were present in the saliva by using anti-H from Libo Biotechnology Co, while which were absent by using anti-H from Shanghai blood center. The patient's Lewis phenotype was Le (a-b+). Anti-HI was present in the sera of her. The sequence of the ABO gene of the patient was 261delG and 467C>T heterozygote by direct DNA sequencing and was assigned as A102/O01. There were two mutations of the patient's FUT1, 328G/A and 658C/T, which were identified by DNA sequencing compared with the reference sequence (GenBank, NG_007510.2). In this case, we report a patient with particular H-deficient phenotype, secretor, which showed opposite results in the saliva test by using anti-H from different sources. We suspect that it is a variant of para-Bombay phenotype.

Achondroplasia with multiple supplemental supernumerary teeth and multiple talon cusps: A rare case report.

Project description:Achondroplasia is the most common cause of dwarfism, which is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder, caused by genetic mutation in fibroblast growth factor 3, leading to defective maturation of chondrocytes. It is known to be associated with various oral and dental manifestations such as delayed dental development, midfacial hypoplasia and constricted maxilla with a relatively large mandible, resulting in skeletal/dental Class III malocclusion, posterior crossbite, anterior reverse jet and anterior overbite. However, the association of achondroplasia with talon cusp and supernumerary teeth has never been reported in the literature. Wehereby reported a case of achondroplasia associated with such unusual findings. Moreover, all the three variants of talon cusp, i.e., "true talon,""semitalon" and "trace talon" are observed in the present case, which makes it a unique one. Further double talon cusps were noticed in the palatal aspect of maxillary central incisors.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism with Ectopic Calcification and 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Rare Case.

Project description:Ectopic calcification in soft tissue is associated with several disorders including pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), which is characterized by resistance or nonresponse to parathyroid hormone (PTH) function. Association between PHP and 22q11DS, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is rare, especially in children. We describe a newborn girl diagnosed with 22q11DS, presenting ectopic calcifications in soft tissue and suspicion of PHP. PTH function showed values close to the upper limit of the reference value. Radiology showed bone callus in the right wrist. PHP can be a new clinical finding associated with 22q11DS. Parathyroid function investigation in individuals with 22q11DS, presenting bone dysmorphisms and/or calcium metabolism alterations, should be considered.

Molecular characterization of a rare analphoid supernumerary marker chromosome derived from 7q35???qter: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Analphoid supernumerary marker chromosomes (aSMC) constitute one of the smallest groups of SMC, and are characterized by a centromeric constriction but no detectable alpha-satellite DNA. These marker chromosomes cannot be properly identified by conventional banding techniques alone, and molecular cytogenetic methods are necessary for a detailed characterization. Analphoid SMC derived from chromosome 7 are extremely rare, with only five cases reported so far. CASE PRESENTATION:In this work we report an aSMC involving the terminal long arm of chromosome 7 in a 10-year-old boy with multiple dysmorphic features and severe development delay. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a mosaic karyotype with the presence of an extra SMC, de novo, in 20% of lymphocytes and 73% of fibroblast cells. Next, we performed FISH analysis with multiple DNA probes and cCGH analysis. This identified the origin of the SMC as an analphoid marker resulting of invdup rearrangement of 7q35-qter region. Affimetrix CytoScan HD array analysis redefined the aSMC as a 15.42 Mb gain at 7q35-q36.3 (minimum tetraplicated region-chr7: 143,594,973-159,119,707; GRCh37/hg19) of maternal origin that encloses 67 OMIM genes, 16 of which associated to disease. Uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD 7) has been excluded. CONCLUSIONS:We report the first patient with an aSMC(7) derived from the terminal 7q region who has been molecularly and clinically full characterized. The use of SNParray in the characterization of SMC reveals to be a powerful tool, giving information not only about copy number variation but also about loss-of-heterozygosity and parental origin. We conclude that an integrated genome-wide copy number variation analysis, if possible associated to FISH and gene expression studies, could facilitate in the future the difficult task of establishing accurate genotype-phenotype correlations and help to improve genetic counselling.

A very rare case of scrofuloderma with multiple cervical lymphadenitis tuberculosis.

Project description:Scrofuloderma is a clinical form of secondary cutaneous tuberculosis. It is commonly characterized by bluish-red nodules that cover the lymph nodes, bones or joints, disrupting the affected tissue to be replaced with granulation tissue. We reported a case of 10-year-old boy with ulcers in the cervical and axillary region. The lesion began as papules, which gradually developed into nodules and pustules. Chronic cough was also found, however chest x ray was normal and sputum direct smear for acid fast bacil was negative. Histopathologic finding of tissue biopsy revealed epidermal necrosis in the central part surrounded by granulomatous tissue forming an abscess and histiocyte infiltrates, confirming the diagnosis of scrofuloderma. CT Scan of neck showed multiple enlarged lymph nodes, and FNAB result was suggestive for tuberculous lymphadenitis. Patient was then given anti-tuberculosis therapy. Four months later, the ulcers began to resolve and heal gradually.
