Primary melanoma of the testis is very rare.  Melanoma of testis usually occurs as metastatic tumor. Here we present a case of 54 year old man with right testicular swelling proven to be primary malignant melanoma. Patient had right scrotal swelling of six months duration. With raised LDH and unremarkable Serum β-HCG and Alpha Feto Protein level and with a suscipicion of primary testicular tumor on MRI, right inguinal orchidectomy was done.  Its clinical presentation and histopathological examination is discussed here.

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign tumour of skin, a common hyperkeratotic lesion of the epidermis,that usually occurs in the trunk and less frequently in the extremities, face and the scalp. A 65-year old farmer presented with a long standing, slowly growing, firm, redbrown, polypoidal mass about 2×2.5 cm in size, located at the skin mucosa interfare of the tip of nose. The lesion was excised under general anesthesia and histopathologic examination showed seborrheic keratosis. Diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical & histopathological examination. Here, we discuss the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, pathological diagnosis and management of such a case. There was no recurrence during a year follow-up.Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2015; 21(2): 119-121

Introduction: Scrotal tuberculosis (TB) is rare and may present as painful scrotal swelling with ulceration and discharging sinus. Case Report: A 28 years male with 2 months history of swelling and pain over left scrotum. Developed ulcer over the scrotal region with multiple sinus associated with pus discharge. Conclusion: The clinical presentation of TB scrotal ulcer can be atypical and a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis. Diagnosis is by using ultrasonography, microbiology, and biopsy. Treatment requires prolonged ATT for 6 months.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Hypertrophic interstitial neuropathy (HIN) is an uncommon, non-neoplastic lesion typically affecting peripheral nerves. Cranial nerve (CN) involvement is exceedingly rare. We present a case of isolated trigeminal nerve HIN manifesting with V3 distribution neuralgia. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 50-yr-old male presented with left sided trigeminal neuralgia refractory to medical management. The patient underwent retromastoid craniectomy for possible microvascular decompression. Intra-operatively, the trigeminal nerve appeared to be focally enlarged with a sausage-like configuration. We selectively resected 1 fascicle which was predominantly involved. Histopathological examination revealed onion bulb formations composed of Schwann cells around centrally placed axons. A diagnosis of HIN was made. Postoperatively, the patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms. CONCLUSION This is the third case of isolated trigeminal nerve HIN in the literature. We performed a selective resection in a patient presenting with trigeminal neuralgia, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms. It is reported here with intraoperative microscope images, along with a review and analysis of this topic as it related to CN.

ABSTRACT Very few cases of oncocytoma parotid have been reported in literature. Because of its rarity (less than 1% of salivary gland tumors) and clinical presentation of the tumor, there is a tendency among the clinicians to misdiagnose it as pleomorphic adenoma, hemangioma or other forms of oncocytosis. Only a histopathological examination can confirm it. We report here a case of oncocytoma of parotid gland in a 70-year-old male who had the tumor for over 9 years.

Isolated tubercular epididymitis is not a very common pathological entity. Tuberculosis of the epididymis is usually associated with infection of the ipselateral testis. More over it usually presented in early adult age group. Here we are communicating an isolated right epididymal tuberculosis in a sixty eight years old man. The diagnosis was suspected on clinical examination and ultrasonogram scanning of the testes and epididymis, was supported by FNAC study of the scrotal swelling and was confirmed by histopathological examination of excised lump following surgical exploration.TAJ 2014; 27(1): 64-66

Scrotal swelling with intermittent discharge and sinus is rare in paediatric age group. Among various differential diagnosis, Infantile Epididymitis is one possibility of scrotal swelling in infancy. Here, Authors reporting one such case of scrotal swelling in a four-year-old child which was present since three months of age. After failed initial medical management, swelling was excised which was reported as epididymitis in histopathological examination

<p class="abstract">Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic progressive cutaneous fungal infection caused by several naturally pigmented fungi that is frequently misdiagnosed clinically because of its polymorphic clinical presentation. We present a case of cutaneous chromoblastomycosis in a 52 year male in the right leg that was mimicking mycetoma/cutaneous tuberculosis clinically. Later, it was diagnosed as chromoblastomycosis in histopathological examination on identification of characteristic sclerotic/medlar bodies. We found combination of chemotherapy and wide local excision was effective in the management of localized chromoblastomycosis with favorable outcome. To conclude, chromoblastomycosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic cutaneous infections and one has to look for sclerotic bodies particularly in granulomatous lesions as it has specific treatment<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Background: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) or granulomatous thyroiditis is usually a self-limiting inflammatory condition. The clinical presentation varies from person to person, but is usually associated with pain and systemic symptoms. Case Report: Herein, a case of a previously healthy 40 years old male who presented with unilateral right neck pain of gradual onset and progressive course has been described. The patient had recovered from a symptomatic Covid-19 infection 5 months back. The clinical examination, imaging and histopathological examination were consistent with the clinical diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis. The patient received medication in the form of pain killer, Celebrex and paracetamol, without corticosteroids, and completely recovered. Conclusion: The possibility of subacute thyroiditis post-COVID-19 infection should be considered.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Lichen planus is a chronic muccocutaneous inflammatory disorder. Oral lichen planus (OLP) has certain specific characteristics in its clinical presentation, but can also be presented in forms resembling other diseases. This may introduce difficulty in the diagnostic process. It has been reported that OLP affects between 0.1 to 4% individuals, predominantly women and people over 40 years old. <strong>Case Report:</strong> A 46-year-old woman complained of a non-healing ulcer present for 1.5 months. Intraorally, multiple white striae with prominent central areas of brownish hyperpigmentation were apparent on the right and left buccal mucosa, right and left buccal sulcus, and lateral and dorsum of the tongue. A biopsy was completed and the histopathology features confirmed the diagnosis of OLP. For the initial treatment, a topical corticosteroid was prescribed, followed by steroid mouthwash. Response to this treatment was positive. OLP has been frequently reported to affect women over the age of 40, with psychological stress as a primary predisposing factor. The clinical presentation is characteristic of Wickham’s striae with erosive areas. However, a biopsy and histopathological examination is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical feature of pigmented OLP has been reported and confirmed by microscopic finding of band-like lymphocytic appearance which is the pathognomonic features of OLP, along with basal cell liquefaction degeneration, and melanin in continence at the lamina propria. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Pigmented OLP is a variant of erosive OLP. Anamnesis, clinical presentation, and histopathological examination confirm diagnosis.</p>

 Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor of muscular origin. It comprises the most common soft tissue tumor in children accounting for approximately 5-8% of childhood cancers. Here we present a case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 13-year male child who was referred for ultrasonic examination (USG) to the department of radiology for evaluation of right scrotal swelling with pain for few months. Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare non germ cell tumor of scrotal sac in children and young adult/teens which can invade testis at presentation. We review the epidemiology, histology, clinical presentation, staging and prognosis of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma and discuss the role of radiology in their management.
