Neuroglial heterotopia is a rare entity in which brain tissue is present in an ectopic location. We report a case of neuroglial heterotopia in the tympanic cavity. This entity may have an imaging appearance and clinical manifestation similar to those of a variety of benign and malignant lesions of the tympanic cavity. Therefore, it is important for both clinicians and radiologists to consider this diagnosis when encountering a tympanic cavity lesion.

Glial Heterotopia

A choristoma is the presence of histologically normal tissue in an area where it is not normally located. The most frequently reported choristoma of the middle ear is salivary choristoma. Heterotopic brain tissue is very uncommon in the middle ear and mastoid.We present a rare case of glial choristoma of the middle ear, together with a review of the literature.

Abstract Background Primary Seminal Vesicle (SV) tumours are a rare entity, with most SV masses representing invasion of the SV by malignancy originating in an adjacent organ, most often the prostate. Previously reported primary SV epithelial tumours have included adenocarcinoma and cystadenoma, with limited prior reports of inracystic papillary structures. Case presentation A 35-year-old male presented with azoospermia, intermittent macroscopic haematuria, and mild right iliac fossa and groin pain. A papillary appearing seminal vesicle mass was found on imaging and seminal vesicoscopy. The mass was robotically excised with diagnosis of benign cystic papillary adenoma made. Conclusion In this manuscript we describe a rare case of a benign cystic papillary adenoma of the seminal vesicle, a unique histological entity differentiated from cystadenoma of the Seminal Vesicle by its papillary component.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Abstract Introduction Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (REYGB) amounts for a third of surgical bariatric interventions. Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a long-term complication in REYGB and can be caused by intussusception of bowel, in approximately 0.5% of procedures.  Intussusception in REYBG is mostly attributed to dysmotility. This report demonstrates a rare case of intussusception in REYGB secondary to a benign polyp.  Case description A 45 year old female, three years post REYGB, presented to A&E with acute, extreme upper abdominal pain, with three days absolute constipation. She was tender on examination with normal blood tests. CT scan demonstrated small bowel intussusception. Initial concerns were of intussusception of the jejuno-jejunostomy anastomosis causing SBO.  She had an exploratory laparotomy, which confirmed intussusception, however this was 20cm distal to the jejuno-jejunostomy. Bowel was gently reduced, and deemed viable. On thorough run-through, a small segment at the transition point, was considered abnormal on palpation. This region was resected and a 1x1cm intraluminal polyp was identified as the causative lead point. The patient did well postoperatively.  Discussion Small bowel intussusception in adults is typically attributed to pathological lead point, such as benign or malignant lesions. Intussusception in REYBG is a rare but well-documented cause of intestinal obstruction, usually attributed to dysmotility, secondary to ectopic pacemaker cells particularly around anastomoses. In this case, the intussusception was caused by an unusual pathology separate from the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. We recommend thorough examination of all adjacent bowel to exclude lesions, in this case a polyp, which could result in recurrence.

ABSTRACT Basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a significantly rare benign salivary gland neoplasm that includes isomorphic basaloid cells. Presence of myoepithelial cell is a characteristic of this tumor. Basal cell adenoma accounts for only 1 to 2% of all salivary gland epithelial tumors. The goal of the paper is to report a rare case of tubular type of BCA arising from parotid gland and discuss its management. How to cite this article Shah PD, Mukherji S.

ABSTRACT The external auditory canal (EAC) is formed by lateral cartilaginous and medial bony part. The stenosis of EAC is narrowing of the width of the EAC, i.e. either caused by congenital or acquired causes. Myringosclerosis is a condition caused by calcification of tissues in the tympanic membrane and ossification is a special form of fibrosis due to the long-term, irreversible continued inflammation in the middle ear cleft. We are presenting rare case of idiopathic tympanic membrane ossification with generalized stenosis of EAC in 29-year-old patient. How to cite this article Verma H, Dass A, Singhal SK, Gupta N.

Intramedullary Cyst

Background: Spinal intramedullary cysts present a radiological dilemma. We present a rare case of a conus intramedullary arachnoid cyst and report on its differentiating features and management. Case Description: We report a case of a 30-month-old child who presented with decreased gluteal sensation and urinary dribbling for 6 months. Apart from some slowness in walking, the power was normal in all four limbs. Imaging showed a non-enhancing, T2-weighted hyperintense 12 × 8 mm conus intramedullary cyst without any edema. A T12-L1 laminotomy followed by marsupialization of the cyst was done. Histopathology was suggestive of an arachnoid cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful with improvement in muscle strength and achievement of regular milestones. We also present the pertinent review of the literature to date. Conclusion: Intramedullary arachnoid cysts are a rare entity and should form the differential diagnosis for cysts presenting in the conus medullaris. Simple decompressive options may suffice for symptomatic cases and radical excision may be avoided. A high index of suspicion is essential considering the subtle nature of presenting symptoms.
