Smooth muscle hamartomas are benign dermal proliferations of smooth muscle cells. Smooth muscle hamartomas are sub-divided into congenital or acquired; the latter is a rare entity with less than 20 cases being reported in the English literature. Most often asymptomatic, acquired smooth muscle hamartomas follow an indolent course. Treatment in the form of surgical excision can be utilized for symptomatic or cosmetic purposes. Here, we report the first case of an acquired smooth muscle hamartomas of the shin which also uniquely presented with hidrosis. This case highlights the varied clinical spectrum of acquired smooth muscle hamartomas.

We report the first case of a posterior mediastinal granular cell tumor initially diagnosed on cytologic material obtained via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in a 51-year-old male with a prior history of colon cancer. Aspirates obtained were cellular and composed of polygonal cells with abundant granular cytoplasm and small, round dark nuclei. An immunoperoxidase stain performed on the cell block for antibodies to S-100 protein showed strong, diffuse staining of the cytoplasmic granules. Electron microscopy performed on the cell block revealed numerous cytoplasmic lysosomes. This is the first case report in the English literature of a definitive preoperative diagnosis of a mediastinal granular cell tumor utilizing material obtained via EUS-FNA.

Abstract This is an extremely rare presentation of multiple appendicoliths in one appendix. Multiple appendicoliths as well as appendicoliths larger than 5 mm have been implicated in severe appendicitis as well as perforation and gangrene of the appendix. There is no known correlation with appendicular malignancy. The controversy arises in the surgical management of asymptomatic patients. There is emerging evidence that justifies an elective appendicectomy in asymptomatic patients.

Oral Condition

Oral hygiene products (OHP) are recommended to maintain the teeth and health of the oral cavity tissues by assisting in lowering the plaque level as well as the opportunistic flora. Oral hygiene products could cause oral health problems that may vary in severity. Due to the availability of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and lack of knowledge, customers may misuse these products. An oral hygiene product is a double-edged sword; a customer would develop side effects from it without even knowing or correlating the source. Many signs and symptoms may appear on the patients such as oral and perioral burning sensations, swelling, erythema, dysgeusia, and dysphagia. To our knowledge and based on the review of English literature through PubMed Midline, this is the first case report of misuse because of an over-the-counter oral hygiene product in which the patient used a mouthwash continuously and aggressively for 15 days without knowing of its side effects. This case report presents an eighty-two-year-old, male patient who complained of pain, burning, swollen, and dry mouth and lips. The author discussed the most common ingredients of oral mouthwashes. Some active ingredients may irritate the oral mucosa and lips. Also, the author discussed the possible differential diagnosis of painful, sensitive, burning, swollen, and dry mouth and lips. This report is intended as an overview of a rare and unusual oral condition associated with the misuse of OTC oral hygiene products. The findings of the present study necessitated the need for clear verbal and written instructions to be provided to the patients before recommending or prescribing any type of medication.

Vulvar Mass

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour that occurs almost exclusively in the vulvovaginal region of women but can also occur occasionally in the inguinoscrotal region of men. It is a well-circumscribed lesion that clinically is often thought to represent a Bartholin's gland cyst and usually does not form a pedunculated mass. To our knowledge, only five cases of vulvar AMFB with pedunculated mass have been reported in the English literature and all cases involving the labia majora and middle-aged women. We report the first case of pedunculated AMFB of the vulva occurring in a young woman of 21 years old and involving the left labia minora. After excluding the most common diseases, pedunculated AMFB should be part of differential diagnosis in the workup of any pedunculated vulvar mass even in young women with a lesion involving the labia minora. We reviewed the literature and summarized all reported cases.

AbstractWe present the first case report in the English literature of an intramuscular haemangioma of the geniohyoid muscle. This occurred in a 24-year-old female and the diagnosis was not made prior to resection. Haemangiomas are uncommon tumours of the head and neck and intramuscular haemangiomas account for fewer than one per cent of the total. Diagnosis of the vascular nature of the tumour is often missed. Recurrence is common and usually due to incomplete excision. A review of the literature and a case report of theselocally destructive lesions is presented.

AbstractObjective:We present the first report in the all English literature of a case of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma metastasis to the orbit.Method:Case report of orbital metastasis from laryngeal carcinoma; clinical, radiological and pathological findings are discussed.Result:A 75-year-old man presented to the ENT department with a five-week history of left orbital pain, swelling and reduced vision. Past medical history included laryngectomy, bilateral neck dissection and post-operative radiotherapy for T4 N2c M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottis, 10 months earlier. Imaging showed an orbital mass extending along the roof and lateral aspect of the orbit into the optic canal and superior orbital fissure, and further posteriorly into the left cavernous sinus with meningeal enhancement in the left anterior cranial fossa. Histopathological analysis after biopsy showed the mass to be consistent with metastatic poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.Conclusion:After searching the all English literature, we report what is, to our best knowledge, the first case of laryngeal carcinoma metastasis to the orbit. Despite its rarity and poor prognosis, such a metastasis should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of an orbital mass, as timely recognition can improve the patient's quality of life.
