Multimodal Management

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS) are rare entities that occur predominantly on the extremities and represent 20% of rhabdomyosarcomas. Other common locations include the peri-rectal and perineal regions, head and neck, and genitourinary system. To our knowledge, this presentation is the first case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the chest wall reported in the literature. Here, we describe a case of a 64-year-old man with alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas who underwent a chest wall resection. The defect was reconstructed with polypropylene mesh and latissimus dorsi muscle. Our patient did not show recurrence ten months after complete resection. The present paper describes our surgical approach to a case of primary alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the chest wall in an adult. The authors discuss the principal judgment criteria for successful surgical resection and prognosis, highlighting the relevance of chest wall reconstruction and their complementary aspects in the multimodal management of this rare entity.

Congenital vallecular cyst is a rare entity and may present with acute airway obstruction. This is a case of congenital vallecular cyst presenting with airway compromise requiring immediate management. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation of vallecular cysts are discussed as well as the diagnosis and management.

Globus Sensation

Hemangiopericytomas of the head and neck are rarely found in the parapharyngeal space. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with a globus sensation in her throat. Imaging detected a left submucosal oropharyngeal mass that extended into the prestyloid parapharyngeal space. The tumor was surgically excised en bloc. Histopathologic examination identified it as a hemangiopericytoma. We discuss the diagnosis and management of this rare entity.

Surgical Emergency

Subhepatically located caecum and appendix is a very rare entity. It occurs due to the anomaly in fetal gut rotation that results in an incomplete rotation and fixation of the intestine. Appendicitis, which is a common surgical emergency, in combination with the abnormal subhepatic location, presents a great challenge in its diagnosis and management. Here, we describe a 42-year-old male with chronic dyspepsia who presented with sepsis and severe pain at his right hypochondriac and epigastric region. The final diagnosis was acute appendicitis of the subhepatic appendix. Our discussion focuses on the diagnostic approach and clinical and surgical management. We hope that our report will increase the awareness among the clinicians and hasten the management of such rare condition to avoid complications.

Pneumoparotid is considered to be a rare entity, but the diagnosis might not be as uncommon as reported. We report a case in which computed tomography incidentally revealed air in the parotid ducts bilaterally. Treatment is aimed at the elimination of predisposing and causative factors, but because our patient denied any symptoms or precipitating factors and had a benign presentation, no immediate intervention was initiated.

Sarcomas of breast constitute less than 1% of all malignant breast tumours. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is very rare in breast with limited case reports in literature, and primary alveolar RMS arising from breast is still less common than metastatic RMS. Here, we report a case of primary bilateral alveolar RMS of breast in an adolescent female where the correct diagnosis was obfuscated by an overlap in the histological features of RMS and high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma.

Prompt Diagnosis

Neonatal scrotal haematoma is a rare entity which requires prompt diagnosis and management. Mostly the diagnosis is confirmed at exploration. A male baby was delivered by Caesarean section with antenatally identified scrotal mass. Examination and work-up pointed to idiopathic scrotal haematoma which was drained surgically. No cause of scrotal haematoma could be identified. The baby is doing fine postoperatively.
