Adenomatoid tumour of testis

Adenomatoid tumour is a rare neoplasm of mesothelial origin commonly seen in male and female genital tract. In this case report, the authors present a case of adenomatoid tumour in a 35-year-old male who presented with 1-year history of scrotal swelling. A clinical diagnosis of testicular neoplasm was made but final diagnosis of adenomatoid tumour was made after excisional biopsy.

Intracranial chondroma: a rare entity

Intracranial chondroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumour with an incidence of less than 1% of all primary intracranial tumours. The authors are reporting here a case of intracranial chondroma in a 40-year-old man who presented with 5-month history of headache and gradual diminution of vision. A tentative diagnosis of chondroma was made on imprint cytology which was confirmed on histopathological examination.

Duplication of appendix: an accidental finding

Duplication of appendix is extremely rare anomaly. The reported incidence is 0.004–0.009%. In most of the cases the finding is accidental. Here the authors are presenting a case of type A duplex appendix in a 25-year male patient.

Hydatid cyst in tail of pancreas

The authors present a case of hydatid cyst in tail of pancreas in a 35-year-male who presented with 6-month history of dull aching pain in abdomen. Radiologically, a differential diagnosis of cystic pancreatic neoplasm and pseudocyst was made which was confirmed after histopathological examination.

Ameloblastic carcinoma: a rare entity

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare aggressive malignant epithelial odontogenic tumour seen in a wide range of age group with no sex predilection. Patient usually presents with a rapidly enlarging swelling. It usually involves the posterior portion of the mandible. Treatment of choice is surgical removal of tumour followed by radiotherapy. We present a case of ameloblastic carcinoma in a 35-year-old man.

Warthin's tumour with coexistent tuberculosis

A 81-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of swelling of the right angle of the jaw. On histopathological examination a diagnosis of Warthins tumour with coexistent tuberculosis of the parotid gland was made. PCR for tuberculosis was positive. Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is very rare and coexistence with Warthins tumour is extremely rare. This case is being reported for its rarity.

Rare disease: Steatocystoma multiplex

A 40-year-old man presented with multiple papules on his head and neck. The lesions had been present for about 15 years. The patient was treated for acne for 6 months, but no improvement was noted. A biopsy was performed and microscopic findings were consistent with steatocystoma multiplex.

Neurofibroma of parotid.

Tumours of neurogenic origin are rare in parotid gland. The authors are presenting here a case of neurofibroma in a 40-year-male who presented with slow growing tumour in preauricular region of 1 year duration.

Idiopathic lymphocytoma cutis: a diagnostic dilemma.

Lymphocytoma cutis, also known as cutaneous B cell pseudolymphoma, represents a spectrum of disease that shares similar clinical and histological features and simulates cutaneous lymphoma clinically and histologically. Clinically it is manifested as asymptomatic, indolent, nodular lesions of different sizes varying between 2 and 5 cm, usually solitary, mainly on exposed area of the body like face and neck. The presence of polymorphous cell infiltrates comprising of T and B lymphocytes, plasma cells, oeosinophils, histiocytes and dendritic cells along with lack of atypical lymphocytes after incisional biopsy support diagnosis of pseudolymphoma. Final diagnosis is made on immunohistochemistry.

Kaposi sarcoma presenting as dermal nodule.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a rare tumour caused by human herpes virus 8. It is a systemic disease which can present with skin lesions with or without internal involvement. We are presenting here a case of classic subtype of KS in a 60-year-old male who presented with a 4-month history of nodular lesion over right hand.
