Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor or inflammatory pseudotumor was first described by Brunn in 1932. Umiker et al. named it so in 1954 for its ability to mimic malignancy clinically and radiologically [Med Pediatr Oncol 2000; 35(5): 484–7]. This tumor, characterized by its rareness, affects mainly the lung and the orbit. Histologically, the tumor is characterized by the presence of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, polymorphs, lymphocytes, and neutrophils. This case report and review of literature present a male patient, 37 years old, with a bulky mediastinal lesion at the topography of the 4th rib. Histopathology reveals Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) concomitant with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). This report aims to emphasize the relevance of differential diagnoses to a better medical assistance. To the best of our knowledge, a case with this characteristic has never been seen before.

Here we describe a case of Reye syndrome diagnosed at postmortem liver biopsy of a three-year oldgirl who presented with vomiting, low grade fever for three days and loss of consciousness for 18hours. Clinically, the differential diagnoses were meningitis, encephalitis and septicemia. No historyof past illness or any drug ingestion including aspirin were present. Laboratory investigationsindicated a diagnosis of Reye syndrome. The child was given supportive treatment but died aftertwo days of admission and postmortem needle-biopsy of the liver showed microvesicular steatosisconsistent with Reye syndrome.Key words: Microvesicular steatosis, mitochondrial hepatopathy, Reye syndrome, Reye-like syndrome

Psoriasis is known to cause chronic inammatory disorder of the skin through an immune mediated mechanism, it may be complicated by different types of glomerular lesions. Three different mechanisms have been implicated by which psoriasis can cause renal damage: immune-mediated renal damage, drug-related renal damage and chronic renal damage. This report presents a case of 35 years old male patient with extensive psoriasis, who presented to our hospital with nephrotic syndrome

AbstractMesentric fibromatosis is a proliferative fibroblastic neoplasm of the small intestinal mesentery with varied clinical presentation. Giant mesentric fibromatosis is uncommon and its rarity poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This paper presents a recurrent aggressive fibromatosis in a 38 year old male patient, who had initially undergone a laparotomy outside for mass abdomen but only pus was evacuated and definitive diagnosis was not made.

ABSTRACTRosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a self-limiting, benign histiocytic disorder. We report a case of RDD mimicking lymphoma clinically and cytologically in a 3-year-old male child. The present case highlights the importance of cytology in the diagnosis of RDD along with cytological features of other differential diagnoses.
