The case presented here illustrates a 75 year old female patient who underwent surgical resection of a right adrenal mass of uncertain nature. The final histological diagnosis was consistent with leiomyosarcoma arising from the adrenal anatomic site. Primary leiomyosarcoma of the adrenal gland is a very rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm: to our knowledge, this is only the twelfth case reported in literature. We describe the clinical course and a brief review of clinical and histological features, biologic behaviour, diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies.

AbstractObjective:Periorbital cellulitis secondary to rhinosinusitis is common. However, very rarely this can be complicated by a lacrimal gland abscess. We report such a case.Method:We present a case report and literature review concerning lacrimal gland abscess secondary to periorbital cellulitis.Results:Due to the location of this condition, prompt assessment and management is vital to avoid potential ophthalmological and neurological complications. Our patient failed to respond to initial conservative medical treatment, and was subsequently identified as having a lacrimal gland abscess, confirmed on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Following definitive surgical treatment, the patient's clinical course improved. This case furthers our knowledge of this condition, and adds to the two previously reported paediatric cases.Conclusion:This case emphasises the importance of prompt management, and the fact that failure of clinical improvement following orbital decompression should alert the clinician to the rare possibility of an associated lacrimal gland abscess. The case also emphasises the key role of imaging and a multidisciplinary team approach when managing this condition.

Post Vaccination

With the rapid development of various coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in a bid to counter and contain the COVID-19 pandemic, unusual and uncommon side effects of COVID-19 vaccination have been increasingly reported in the literature. Ipsilateral lymphadenopathy is a fairly common side effect of vaccination of any kind, with its etiology most commonly related to reactive lymphadenopathy. However, Kikuchi–Fujimoto Disease (KFD) or necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis is rarely observed post-vaccination, with only one other case of KFD post COVID-19 vaccination reported to date. We report two more cases of KFD post COVID-19 vaccination in the Asian population, highlighting the clinical course and salient clinical, radiological and histologic findings. In addition, we provide a literature review of the existing cases of lymphadenopathy post COVID-19 vaccination with cytologic and/or histologic correlation.

Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor derived from the neuroblasts of the sympathetic nervous system, which develop in any region of the nervous system. Usually, neuroblastoma is detected in children aged 1–2 years. About 90% of cases are diagnosed before the age of 5 years. The incidence of adult neuroblastoma is only 0.3 cases per million people per year. The clinical course and biological activity of adult neuroblastoma is different than children neuroblastoma. Early diagnosis of this disease in adults is necessary for timely start of treatment and increasing life expectancy. In this clinical observation, we present a detailed description of the course of this rare disease in the 34-year-old male and literature review on adult neuroblastoma.

Objectives:  To describe a case of rapidly relapsing chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) in the setting of positive serum IgG tubulin autoantibodies. Methods: We wrote a case report and performed a literature review of IgG tubulin autoantibodies and the use of rituximab in treatment resistant CIDP. Results: Our case report describes a 29-year-old woman with CIDP that was resistant to treatment with steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasma exchange. An extensive workup of her rapidly relapsing CIDP was negative, with the exception of positive serum IgG tubulin autoantibodies. She ultimately stabilized on oral steroids, plasma exchange and rituximab, with a regular recurrence of weakness occurring approximately every month that led to rehospitalization. Conclusion: Anti-tubulin antibodies could be a marker of a subtype of CIDP that is treatment resistant. We detail her clinical course to serve as an example for other cases of IgG tubulin autoantibody positive CIDP patients that could be described in the future.

Histopathological Features

Infantile soft tissue tumors of the head are very rare and the majority of them are myofibromas. The authors present the case of a 1-day-old boy with a scalp tumor with several distinct histopathological features including myofibroma, hemangiopericytoma, and fibrosarcoma consistent with the diagnosis of composite infantile myofibromatosis. Genetic testing was negative for trisomy 17, translocation (12; 15), FUS, and ETV6 translocations. Despite the ominous histopathological features, the clinical course was benign. The authors review here available literature concerning current concepts of making the diagnosis of composite infantile myofibromatosis and discuss treatment options.
