Revealing a rare inflammatory oral manifestation in a 6-year-old child.

ABSTRACT: A 6-year-old child with an episodic history of ulcerations over buccal mucosa was found to have severe inflammation on the palatal aspect of permanent first molars with grade 2 mobility bilaterally. Radiographical features were suggestive of bone loss around permanent molars extending to the distal aspect of the deciduous first molars. The clinical and radiographical findings were indicative of periodontal degeneration without any apparent cause visible intraorally. Further biopsy was done from the rashes present on the malar prominences, which showed nodular aggregates of atypical cells in superficial dermis. These large histiocytic cells with vesicular nuclei and nuclear grooves were immunopositive for CD1a and S100, concluding the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. For treatment, patient was referred to Department of Haemato-oncology and chemotherapy was suggested as per protocol.

A rare case of complete second arch branchial fistula in a 7-year-old child.

Project description:Branchial fistulae are formed due to the abnormal persistence of the embryonic branchial clefts. Complete branchial fistula with internal and external opening is extremely rare. We report a rare case of complete second arch branchial fistulae in a 7-year-old boy, which was confirmed by a fistulogram. The tract was completely excised and the patient was successfully treated.

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp in a 48-Year-Old Male: A Rare Cause of Intussusception.

Project description:Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a neoplastic condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract and particularly the gastric antrum. It is virtually a benign submucosal mass comprising mesenchymal cells and numerous small blood vessels with inflammatory cells and commonly eosinophils. Patients with inflammatory fibroid polyps usually present clinically with mechanical intestinal obstruction with or without intussusception. Herein, we present a case of a 48-year-old male with a known history of schizophrenia who presented with mechanical intestinal obstruction following intussusception due to inflammatory fibroid polyp involving the proximal jejunojejunal part of the jejunum.

Right atrial appendage tachycardia: A rare cause of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy in a 4-year-old child.

Project description:We present a rare case of tachycardiomyopathy in a 4-year-old girl. The child had incessant atrial tachycardia (AT) and refractory heart failure. Right atrial appendage (RAA) was localised as the source of the ectopic tachycardia. The child underwent successful radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using 3-D electroanatomical mapping. Fluoroscopy was used sparingly only to rule out underlying anomalies. The left ventricular functions returned to normal by one month after the procedure. RAA AT is rare in very young children and usually necessitates surgical appendectomies. RFA is a challenge in such age groups and there are very few published literature on RAA AT in very young children.

Aggressive fibromatosis of the oral cavity in a 5 year old boy: a rare case report.

Project description:Fibrous tissue proliferations express a wide spectrum of histologic and morphologic variation in both infants and adults. This ranges from hypertrophic scar formation at one end to malignant fibrosarcoma at the other end of the spectrum. Aggressive fibromatosis is an intermediate tumor which is in proximity to fibrosarcomas. These are locally invasive and often recur after excision, but do not metastasize. Histologically, they are characterized by proliferating fibroblasts with little mitotic activity. Aggressive fibromatosis in the head and neck region is not common, and very sporadically occurs in the oral cavity or jaw bones. Here we report a rare case of aggressive fibromatosis occurring in a 5 year old boy.

Lipoid proteinosis in a six-year-old child.

Project description:Lipoid proteinosis (LiP) (OMIM 247100) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by loss of function mutations in the extracellular matrix protein 1 gene, ECM1, on chromosome 1q21. Clinically characterized by hoarseness in early infancy, followed by waxy papules and plaques on the face and body along with pox-like and acneiform scars. We report here a 6-year-old female child with LiP, who presented to our OPD for recurrent vesicullobullous lesions and beaded lesions over eyelid margins.

A rare presentation of peripheral edema and ascites in a 10-year-old child with brucellosis: A case report.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Brucellosis is a common infection in Mediterranean region that manifests with various symptoms. Brucellosis should be considered as a possible cause of recurrent fever even if the symptoms are not suggestive of brucellosis.Case presentationWe report a case of 10-year-old child with no significant past medical history who presented with a 4-day period peripheral edema and ascites without fever, arthralgia or abdominal pain.Clinical discussionProper investigations showed normal cardiac and renal functions; ultrasonography showed no portal vein hypertension. Albumin and total protein were also within normal. Complete blood count revealed pancytopenia; bone marrow aspiration and biopsy revealed hypercellularity that could be attributed to hypersplenism as a possible cause. Liver biopsy revealed non-specific inflammatory findings and also did not lead to a definite diagnosis. While broadening the scope of deferential diagnosis in order to reach a final diagnosis, Wright serum agglutination was tested positive (1/640) and we diagnosed a brucellosis infection. A proper management with Antibiotics ensued; the patient had uneventful recovery on treatment until complete clinical and imaging resolution of signs and symptoms.ConclusionAlthough brucellosis is considered a multi-systemic disease with atypical presentations, early diagnosis of brucellosis with management causes rapid recovery and favorable prognosis. We report a case of ascites and edema in context of Brucella infection which was completely resolved after treatment. This condition is rare especially in previously healthy child and after excluding other possible causes. We aim to share our case to keep brucellosis in mind as a differential diagnosis when dealing with infectious diseases with non-specific symptoms.

Split-Hand Malformation in a 4-Year-Old Child.

Project description:Split-hand deformity is one of the milder manifestations of a congenital disorder called split-hand/split-foot malformation. We present a case of a 4-year-old child with split-hand malformation in his left hand since birth. A median cleft was present in the affected hand with absence of the 3rd and 4th digits, giving rise to a characteristic lobster-claw appearance. Functionality of the affected hand was modestly impaired. As none of the close family members of the patient had similar limb malformations, the deformity was postulated to arise most likely from a de novo mutation. The patient was discharged after the parents were provided with genetic counseling.
