Sinonasal Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumor: A Rare and Misinterpreted Entity.

ABSTRACT: Objectives Oncogenic osteomalacia is a paraneoplastic syndrome in which the tumor secretes a peptide-like hormone, fibroblast growth factor, resulting in urinary loss of phosphates. Methods We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with a benign phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) involving the ethmoid sinus with obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex causing unilateral nasal airway obstruction. Results The tumor was initially thought to be an esthesioneuroblastoma based on primary pathology interpretation and on clinical and radiographic appearance. However, a benign PMT was later confirmed by further testing. Conclusion The tumor was removed entirely by the endoscopic transnasal approach, leading to a full resolution of symptoms.

Congenital granular cell tumor - a rare entity.

Project description:Congenital granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplastic growth affecting the gingival mucosa of neonates. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis has recently come to focus and in spite of several reports on immune-histochemical and other advanced marker studies, the cause and origin of the lesion remains debatable till date. Review of literature on prenatal diagnosis and histopathology along with immunohistochemistry is discussed.

A case report on atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor: A rare entity.

Project description:IntroductionAtypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor (ASPLT), a separate entity for the group of benign/low grade adipocytic neoplasm that is characterized by adipocyte adequacy and the presence of lipoblast-like cells and spindle cells at varying degrees.Case presentationHere, we report a rare case of 60 years old male with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the anterior abdominal wall.DiscussionHistopathology is the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis and grade of soft tissue tumor and consistent radiology-pathology correlation is essential to avoid any diagnostic pitfalls [1]. Ultrasound is preferred as an initial investigation for superficially located lesions.ConclusionASPLT show a wide variety of microscopic features, and differential diagnosis is important and difficult. Recognition of morphologic clues and immunohistochemistry/molecular tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome: a rare entity.

Project description:The cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome is a condition of sporadic occurrence, with patients showing multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation and characteristic dysmorphic features. We, thus, report a rare case of this syndrome in a 1-year-old child who presented with typical features of CFC syndrome.

Jadassohn Lewandowsky Syndrome: A Rare Entity.

Project description:Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by hyperkeratosis affecting the nails and palmoplantar areas, oral leucokeratosis, and cystic lesions. It is classically subdivided into two major variants, PC-1 (Jadassohn-Lewandowski syndrome) and PC-2 (Jackson-Lawler syndrome), according to the localization of the mutations in the KRT6A/KRT16 or KRT6B/KRT17 genes, respectively. We report a 9-year-old male patient with a history of thickened, discolored nails, raised spiny skin lesions all over the body since birth with focal plantar keratoderma and absence of natal teeth.

Polyangiitis overlap syndrome: a rare clinical entity.

Project description:Polyangiitis overlap syndrome is a rare clinical entity comprising patients with overlapping features of more than one vasculitis, usually eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Few cases of polyangiitis overlap syndrome have been described in the literature, mostly associated with c-ANCA, anti-proteinase (PR)-3 positivity, a protean clinical picture characterized by vasculitis, eosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltrates in tissues and a favorable response to steroids and immunosuppressant treatments. Herein, we present a case of a 66-year-old woman with nasal obstruction, external nose deformity, sensorineural hearing loss, peripheral blood eosinophilia, high titer anti-PR3 antibodies and lung involvement. Nasal septum biopsies showed inflammatory infiltrate with eosinophilic component; histopathology of the lung demonstrated necrotizing granulomas associated with inflammatory infiltrate composed of numerous neutrophils and some eosinophils. The patient was diagnosed with polyangiitis overlap syndrome and successfully treated with cyclophosphamide. Recognizing this entity is fundamental given the distinct clinical phenotype and outcomes to therapy in the complex scenario of ANCA-associated vasculitides.

Alexia Without Agraphia: A Rare Entity.

Project description:Pure alexia refers to an acquired disorder associated with the damage to medial occipitotemporal gyrus in the dominant hemisphere, which is also known as visual word form area (VWFA). VWFA is involved in rapid word recognition and fluent reading. Alexia without agraphia is a disconnection syndrome that occurs when the splenium is also damaged with the occipital lobe on a dominant side. We report a case of a 72-year-old right-handed male who presented with alexia without agraphia accompanied by right homonymous hemianopia resulting from acute infarct of the left occipital lobe, the splenium of the corpus callosum and posterior thalamus that probably occurred on the previous day. During the evaluation, he exhibited marked impairment in the ability to read with the vision being grossly normal. Magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) revealed an acute infarct of the left occipital lobe, the splenium of the corpus callosum and posterior thalamus. A computerized tomography angiogram (CTA) revealed left posterior cerebral artery (PCA) territory infarct without any evidence of hemorrhagic conversion. Infarction of the occipital lobe on the dominant side (left) in a right-handed individual may cause a disruption in the visual word form area and is manifested by an inability to read with no abnormalities in visual acuity.

Isolated Double-Chambered Right Ventricle - A Rare Entity.

Project description:A double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare congenital heart disease and an uncommon cause of congestive heart failure. An anomalous muscle band divides the right ventricle into two cavities: the proximal high-pressure chamber and the distal low-pressure chamber. Most cases are diagnosed and treated during childhood. Furthermore, there is a tendency for progression, if not treated early. Echocardiography is considered useful for the diagnosis of this ailment. Most of the patients have associated congenital anomalies, such as ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and subaortic stenosis. Isolated DCRV is a rare entity. Hence, we report a case of an isolated DCRV in an adult patient.

Suboccipital osteoblastoma: Microsurgical resection of a rare entity.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoblastomas are rare lesions comprising 1% of all bone tumors. The occipital bone is one of the rarest affected bone, with only 11 cases reported during the last 40 years.Case descriptionHere, we describe the clinical presentation and the radiological features of a suboccipital osteoblastoma that was successfully resected in a 30-year-old man. A short video shows the microsurgical removal of the lesion. There was no recurrence during a 12-month follow-up.ConclusionsEven if osteoblastomas are benign tumors, a complete removal has to be achieved to reduce the risk of recurrences. This makes necessary an appropriate monitoring of the patient.

Haemorrhagic cholecystitis: a rare entity not to be forgotten.

Project description:Haemorrhagic cholecystitis is a rare entity of acute cholecystitis that carries a high morbidity and mortality rate if management is delayed. Its clinical course can mirror that of acute cholecystitis. Characteristic findings on ultrasound or CT scan are useful clues to early diagnosis. Urgent cholecystectomy is required prior to progressing to perforation of gallbladder. Most of the literature are case reports with causes associated with anticoagulation. Herein, we described a morbidly obese patient with poorly controlled diabetes presenting with non-specific right upper quadrant pain and was subsequently diagnosed with haemorrhagic cholecystitis. A review of the literature was also performed to summarise the potential clinical presentations, distinctive imaging findings and management options available for this rare condition.
