Rare Situation

Partially or completely invaginated appendix mistaken for a polyp during colonoscopy and leading to intussusception is a rare situation. This paper describes our experience with two cases of appendiceal intussusception. In the first case, there was no underlying ileocecal abnormality, and, in the second case, histologic examination of the resected appendix and cecum revealed widespread foci of angiodysplasia, and this was thought to be the basis for the intussusception. The authors present reviews of the literature concerning clinical features and associated conditions and emphasize that failure to recognize this condition may result in unexpected complications such as consequent peritonitis in case of endoscopic removal.

AbstractsBasidiobolomycosis is a fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum which affects the skin and subcutaneous tissue and rarely the gastrointestinal tract. We report seven cases of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis with interesting clinical, radiological, and histological presentations. To our knowledge, this is the first case series of abdominal basidiobolomycosis to be reported from Sudan.

De Barsy et al first reported a rare cutaneo-oculo-cerebral malformation-syndrome now commonly referred as ‘progerioid syndrome of de Barsy’. It is the constellation of progeria-like appearance, cutis laxa, intrauterine growth retardation, corneal clouding and hypotonia. We report a case of Debarsy syndrome in a neonate presented at birth with typical clinical features with hypocalcemic seizures. There are no previous reports among Afghani origin and also first case reported from United Arab Emirates, there have been no reported cases of hypocalcemic seizures.

A case of Wilms' tumor of the right kidney is presented, in which the dominant clinical features were extreme elevation of blood pressure and hypertensive encephalopathy, associated with cardiac decompensation and death. Generalized convulsions and right hemiplegia developed, believed to have been due to cerebral anoxia incident to angiospasm. No metastases were found, and no other cause for arterial hypertension was discovered. This patient is thought to be the first case reported where death from Wilms' tumor was due to the hypertensive factor. The literature with reference to the association of hypertension with Wilms' tumor is reviewed. The mechanisms by which Wilms' tumors may produce unilateral renal ischemia with arterial hypertension are discussed. The presence of clearcut hypertension in a child with a kidney area mass points toward the probability of a Wilms' tumor.

Pathologic Features

Abstract Adrenal tumors often present with clinical features that are specific and unique to their endocrine metabolism. When these features are in conflict with the pathologic appearance of the tumor, there can be great consternation for both the pathologist and the surgeon. In the case reported herein, an adrenalectomy was performed for clinical features of pheochromocytoma that on gross and histologic examination had the pathologic features of an adrenal cortical adenoma. Electron microscopy subsequently revealed that the tumor cells contained adrenalin-type granules, explaining the clinical outcome. It is crucial for both the surgeon and the surgical pathologist to be aware of this possibility when the clinical and pathologic features of an adrenal tumor are not congruent.

Congenital Dermal Sinus

Abstract OBJECTIVE Congenital dermal sinus tracts most frequently occur in the midline and are often associated with dermoid or epidermoid inclusion cysts. A lateral cranial origin is extremely rare and anatomically inconsistent with an etiology involving closure of the rostral neural tube during embryogenesis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We describe the first case of a pterional cranial dermal sinus tract associated with a small epidermoid, with extension to the dura of the anterior cranial fossa. INTERVENTION The extra- and intracranial portions of the tract were visualized and resected with the use of an operating microscope. Pathological diagnosis confirmed dermal sinus tract. CONCLUSION We review the existing literature and address the developmental and clinical features pertinent to the management of cranial dermal sinus tracts, emphasizing the need for exploration of these potentially harmful lesions.

First Case

The objective of this article is to elucidate on our experience with the first case reported in the literature of a synchronous presentation of pleomorphic adenoma (PA) in infratemporal fossa as well as the contralateral submandibular gland. PA most commonly arises from the major salivary glands but has also been reported to arise from minor salivary glands in unusual sites such as the nasal septum, main stem bronchus, trachea, lacrimal gland, external auditory canal, etc. However, it seldom involves the infratemporal fossa and extremely few cases are reported in the literature and coexistent contralateral synchronous PA is nowhere reported in literature. The infratemporal fossa tumour posed a diagnostic dilemma and therapeutic challenge because of its concealed location which we dealt successfully with endoscopic sublabial trans maxillary approach.

Abstract Background: Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH) is an uncommon benign tumor in children. While mesenchymal hamartomas may be angiomatous and blood vessels may be identified, HMH with a malignant tumor symptom on the contrast-enhanced hepatic computed tomography angiography (CTA) has not been described. Here, we present the first case of HMH mimicking hepatoblastoma on the hepatic CTA from pathological point of view and review the imaging and histological features of this unique lesion. Case presentation: A 2-year-old female child was found a distention in the right abdomen and was admitted to our hospital. The Hepatic CTA showed that the blood vessels were thickened, the tumor blood vessels were clustered in the tumor. According to the hepatic CT findings, the tumor was considered to be malignant, possibly a hepatoblastoma. Microscopic examination showed a tumor arranged in lobules, composed of loose myxoid mesenchyme surrounding ductal structures, with intervening vascular channels. The Immunohistochemical staining revealed positive CK7 and CD34 for the bile duct elements and the lining endothelial cells of the vascular channels. There were abundant blood vessels around the nodules and the margins of remaining hepatocytes, but few in the central region. The blood vessels are small, thin-walled vessels and presented like capillaries and venules. Conclusions: A histological diagnosis of Hepatic Mesenchymal Hamartoma was confirmed by the microscopic examinations. This case adds learning points to radiologists when heterogeneous reinforcement on enhanced CT scan was presented in such a large childhood liver tumor.

Cardiac Manifestations

Mitochondrial disorders are multisystemic and heterogeneous diseases. Their clinical phenotype is a consequence of a defect in the respiratory chain due to genetic disorders. The first case was reported by Luft and colleagues in 1960. Today, the prevalence of mitochondrial diseases is estimated to be 1:5000. Symptoms may appear at any age and the disease may affect any organ. The heart can be involved in different ways from cardiomyopathy to life-threatening arrhythmia. The management is based on a multidisciplinary approach with genetic counselling being fundamental. This chapter reviews the mitochondrial physiology, the clinical features, and diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders, with a particular focus on cardiac involvement, its management, and prognostic factors.
