Solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma of tonsil — a rare location

Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare form of plasma cell dyscrasia, in which plasmacell tumours arise outside the bone marrow. The tumor may arise in any part of the body but the vast majority occur in head and neck, primary in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses or upper airway. We present here a rare case of extramedullary plasmacytoma arising from the tonsil The clinical, histolopathology, immunohistochemical findings are reviewed and the management discussed.     

Renal Extramedullary Plasmacytoma——One Case Report

T Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is rare in multiple myeloma, especially kidneys are involved. We report one case, including diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this paper is to provide an attention on the extramedullary plasmacytoma disease, reducing the misdiagnose with this disease.     

Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma presenting as acute hepatic failure—One case report

A 20-year-old boy presenting daily febrile episodes was suspected to have developed acute hepatic failure. Serologic tests ruled out infectious and autoimmune causes apart from drug toxicity. During clinical examinations, he was found to have generalized enlarged lymph nodes that were then taken biopsy. It was diagnosed as classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma based on histological examination of the lymph node. A bone marrow biopsy showed marrow infiltration by Hodgkin’s lymphoma with hemophagocytosis and secondary myelofibrosis. A percutaneous liver biopsy demonstrated hepatic involvement of the same disease. After an extensive work-up, the cause of liver failure was figure out to be only attributed to the involvement of the lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a cause of hepatic failure is rare and young patients diagnosed as Hodgkin’s lymphoma causing hepatic failure has been reported very rarely so far.     

Tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyp — a case report

Tumors which are benign in origin in palatine tonsils are not uncommon. They may create anxiety in patients and pose difficulty in differentiating from malignancy. We report a case of tonsillar polyp of lymphangiomatous origin.     

Small intestinal perforation caused by metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of scalp—One case report

The small bowel metastases from head and neck regions are extremely rare. The diagnosis and treatment of such kind of small bowel metastases remain unclear. This paper reports on a 53-year-old case with small intestine perforation caused by metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of scalp. After surgical treatment, the patient had a relatively better survival. This paper shares the clinical experience we have learned from managing this patient in hope that it will help other medical professionals in oncology to recognize the disease.     

Hamartoma of the pharynx—A case report

A rare case of recurrent Hamartoma of the pharynx surgically treated is being reported for its clinical interest.     

Zenker’s diverticulum — a case report

A Zenker’s diverticulum is a blind pouch that branches off the cervical esophagus. Affected individuals may suffer from long-standing swallowing difficulties, regurgitation, bad breath, weight loss, and even aspiration.. Here we report a 80-years-old male presenting with dysphagia and regurgitation. Barium swallow reported the presence of a Zenker’s diveticulum. In view of the patient’s age, endoscopic diathermy was considered as a therapeutic option for the management.     

An unusual tracheal foreign body — a case report

Foreign bodies in the laryngopharynx can occur without discrimination of age or sex. Their occurrence is influenced by mode of living, customs, habits and environment. T.M. Paramciwaran(1977) reported 56 cases of foreign bodies of tracheobronchial tree in the span of 5 years. A.S.A. Abdel-Salam and Alan G. Gibb (1980) mentioned that the vast majority of cases occur in young children. They have reported that undiagnosed foreign bodies cause mechanical effects, chemical reactions and may present as chronic pulmonary infection, allergic asthma, bronchiectasis, lung collapse or lung abscess. They present as emergencies and require skilful management.     

Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma of the liver��One case report

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a recently characterized tumor showing features of myofibroblastic differentiation that is part of the spectrum of malignant mesenchymal tumors. This extremely rare type of tumor occurs most commonly in superficial locations. The case we describe herein is that of a 60-year-old man with two large hepatic masses. The patient’s tumor was removed radically through an incision due to the inconclusive imaging findings. Follow-up computed tomography showed no recurrence and metastasis after 37 months, suggesting that enucleation was adequate for tumor eradication. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma in the liver in the English language literature.     

Intussusception induced by transverse colon lipoma in a young male patient��One case report

Colonic lipoma is an uncommon benign non-epithelial tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. It typically occurs in the ascending colon and among old female patients. Most cases are asymptomatic and do not require any special treatment. However, we encountered a young male patient with a symptomatic lipoma located in the transverse colon that induced a transcolocolonic intussusception. He presented with such symptoms as diarrhea, tenesmus, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Colonoscopy revealed a spherical polypoid lesion with partial congestion and ulceration on its surface, and the related biopsy revealed spindle cell hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration. Reduction of the intussusception was not attempted, and transverse hemicolectomy was conducted. Although several novel techniques have been reported for the diagnosis and treatment of colonic lipoma, for our case patient, an exact diagnosis was made postoperatively via histological examination and laparotomy was performed.     

An unusual benign tumor of pinna — A case report

A 12-year-old girl presented to us with a swelling over the lateral surface of the right pinna of 4 years duration. Examination revealed an irregular mass arising from lateral surface of the pinna obscuring the external auditory canal. The lesion was not ulcerated. Wide excision of mass done and sent for Histopathological examination which revealed Tricho folliculoma. This case is being reported as it is a rare skin adnexal tumor arising from an unusual site.     

Heusinger–s syndrome-a case report

Heusinger’s syndrome or Branchio-oto-renal dysplasia is a rare congenital anomaly. One such case with external ear anomalies, branchial fistula and renal abnormality is presented. The patient underwent successful excision of the branchial fistula. The case is discussed with review of relevant literature.     

Basaloid squamous carcinoma of the nasal cavity — a case report

Basaloid squamous carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous carcinoma and is known for its aggressive behavior. Its presentation in the nasal cavity is uncommon . A case of this tumor arising from the nostril and showing good response to concomitant radiotherapy and cisplatinum is presented.     

Sacro-anterior haemangiopericytoma： a case report

Haemangiopericytoma（HPC） is a rare vascular tumor with borderline malignancy, considerable histological variability, and unpredictable clinical and biological behavior. HPC can present a diagnostic challenge because of its indeterminate clinical, radiological, and pathological features. HPC generally presents in adulthood and is equally frequent in both sexes. HPC can arise in any site in the body as a slowly growing and painless mass. The precise cell type origin of HPC is uncertain. One third of HPCs occur in the head and neck areas. Exceptional cases of hemangioblastoma arising outside the head and neck areas have been reported, but little is known about their clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features. This study reports on a case of a large sacro-anterior HPC in a 65-year-old male.
