Introduction. Although fractures of humeral shaft show excellent results with conservative management, nonunion does occur.Case Report. We bring forth the case of a young male with a 1.5-year-old hypertrophic nonunion of the humerus mimicking an enchondroma. The initial X-ray images of the patient appeared to be an enchondroma, which only on further evaluation and histopathological analysis was diagnosed conclusively to be a hypertrophic nonunion.Discussion. Enchondromas are often incidentally diagnosed benign tumours. It is however not common to misdiagnose a hypertrophic nonunion to be an enchondroma. We present this case to highlight the unique diagnostic dilemma the treating team had to face.

Pericarditis and spontaneous pneumomediastinum are among the pathologies that are in differential diagnoses when a patient describes dorsal irradiated chest pain: if the patient is young, male, and long-limbed, it is necessary to exclude an acute aortic syndrome firstly. We present the case of a young man who arrived at the Emergency Department for chest pain: an echocardiogram performed an immediate diagnosis of pericarditis. However, if the patient had performed a chest X-ray, this would have enabled the observation of pneumomediastinum, allowing a correct diagnosis of pneumomediastinum and treatment. The purpose of this report is to highlight the importance of the diagnostic process.

In this article we report one case of lipoma of the penis in a twenty three years old young male. This site of lipoma is rare. A case of a young male patient who consulted for removal of a penile lump is presented. The small, regular, wellcircumscribed pedunculated tumor localized on the ventral aspect of the penis was excised. The histopathological analysis showed a benign lipoma. A review of the literature showed lipoma of the penis to be very uncommon. For this reason, we were prompted to report this case.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v3i1.15003 Bangladesh Journal of Plastic Surgery 2012, 3(1): 24-25

In his textbook, Pediatric X-Ray Diagnosis, Caffey1 makes the statement that "until the whole truth becomes available to the public, all authentic cases of Vitamin A poisoning be carefully recorded and widely published in the medical literature." Since Josephs2 first described this condition in children in 1944, more than 50 cases have appeared in the literature.3 The following case, initially viewed as a diagnostic dilemma, was subsequently recognized to have typical clinical, biochemical, and rediographic changes of hypervitaminosis A. In addition, bone scintigraphy demonstrated evidence of involvement in radiographically normal areas. CASE REPORT A 5-year-old, nonimmunized, white girl was diagnosed as having measles in late April 1980.

Diagnostic Dilemma

Osteoid osteomas are well-known benign tumors, seen generally in long bones. When seen in phalanxes or toes, they can cause a diagnostic dilemma. A young male presented to us with complaints of enlargement of the great toe and severe pain. He had had an ingrown toe-nail operation before, and this situation caused a diagnostic dilemma. In this case report, we emphasize that osteoid osteomas can cause diagnostic dilemmas and it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis.

Primary omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen with no definite consensus for the best management. We report a young male who was successfully managed using a conservative approach. Conservative management should be the first line of management. Laparoscopic resection is indicated after failure of conservative management.

Diagnostic Dilemma

Septic arthritis is a surgical emergency requiring prompt drainage of the accumulation of pus in the joint. We report an eight-year-old boy who was referred to the Armed Forces Hospital, Salalah, Oman, in 2016 with limping and pain in his right hip along with an abduction deformity. He was initially diagnosed with synovitis and underwent conservative management. However, two weeks later, he presented to another centre due to persistent pain. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of septic arthritis or osteomyelitis. Eight weeks later, the patient presented again to the Armed Forces Hospital. An arthrotomy was performed, during which an amount of what appeared to be frank pus was drained; however, cultures of the intraoperative samples returned no growth. A histopathological analysis revealed an osteosarcoma. The patient was subsequently referred elsewhere and underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and limb salvage surgery. Several months later, he relapsed and developed extensive pulmonary metastasis and died as a result of progressive deterioration.Keywords: Osteosarcoma; Hip Joint; Septic Arthritis; Osteomyelitis; Differential Diagnosis; Case Report; Oman.

Abstract Adenomyomas are benign tumours made of smooth muscle cells, endometrial glands and stroma. An extrauterine location is extremely rare with an unknown pathogenesis. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging and pathologic examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Here we present a case report of a 44-year-old woman with a painful non-reducible mass in the right inguinal region without fever or other alarming symptoms 2 months after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. She was treated with a surgical resection of the mass. Extrauterine adenomyoma is a very uncommon entity. Preoperative workup is challenging, as confirmation of the diagnosis can only be achieved by histopathological analysis following surgical excision.

Surgical Emphysema

This is a case report of a spontaneous pneumomediastinum and surgical emphysema in a 32-year-old woman presenting a few hours after forceps vaginal delivery with symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath and swelling in the neck, which resolved with conservative management. It is a rare but potentially dangerous complication of labour, which can be accurately diagnosed with clinical features and chest X-ray. The treatment is conservative as it is usually self-limiting and recurrence in subsequent pregnancies is extremely rare.
