Oral vegetable granuloma represents an inflammatory lesion of foreign body origin resulting from the implantation of vegetable matter. Controversy regarding its pathogenesis is reflected by the various terminologies used to describe the lesion. Its diverse clinical presentations are due to variations in the antigenic potential of the vegetable material and the host response. As the diagnosis is solely histopathological, it is critical to differentiate vegetable granuloma from other oral granulomatous lesions like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis and Wegner’s granulomatosis. Here, we report six cases with the varied clinicopathological presentation of hyaline ring granulomas in association with different pathological lesions.

Medical Referral

Foreign body ingestion is a regular medical referral. Patients present with different objects such as chicken bones, nails, coins, and fishbones. It is usually managed in causality and passes without any intervention. However, occasionally, we come across fishbone complications requiring intervention. We discuss the course and management of two case reports of fishbone injuries in different abdominal regions.

Craniocervical dural arteriovenous fistulas are rare but clinically important entities that are potentially treatable but often misdiagnosed given their wide range of clinical presentations and often nonspecific findings on CT and MR imaging. Although DSA remains the criterion standard for diagnosis, the present case series highlights imaging findings of craniocervical dural arteriovenous fistulas and potential mimics to aid the practicing radiologist in a timely diagnosis.

Introduction: To review unusual actinomycosis cases that appeared as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge at our institution and to present a literature review on the usual clinical presentations. Methodology: This retrospective review included all patients hospitalized for actinomycosis in a 10-year period at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases “Dr. Fran Mihaljević”, Zagreb, Croatia. Results: A total of 15 patients were hospitalized during the observed period, 9 (60%) females and 6 (40%) males. The localizations of actinomycosis were: pelvis (5), lungs (3), blood stream (2), colon (1), penis (1), stomach (1), skin (1), cervicofacial region (1). We present four unusual cases: subcutaneous actinomycotic abscess, actinomycosis of the stomach with underlying non-Hodgkin lymphoma, sepsis due to Actinomyces neslundii originated from chronic asymptomatic periapical tooth abscesses and actinomycosis of the distal part of the penile shaft. Conclusions: Actinomycosis was a very rare clinical problem in our clinical practice (0.032% of all hospitalizations and 0.0034% of all outpatients) but among those cases classical clinical presentations were also very rare.

Penetrating traumas of the facial skeleton are relatively rare; however, they can be dangerous and even life-threatening. The epidemiology of facial skeleton trauma is diverse and depends on the affected region, age, and the kind of foreign body that caused the injury. In Poland, the most common cause of penetrating traumas are accidents and assaults, and only rarely accidents are related to improper use of firecrackers or fireworks. The aim of this study is to present a literature review and our own experience with penetrating traumas of the face and the facial part of the cranium. Six cases with severe wounds and fractures of the facial skeleton were treated between the years 2000 and 2012 in our department. The applied treatment methods depended mainly on the general condition of the patients. In all cases, we achieved acceptable functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Objectives: (1) To look into clinical presentations of intra-abdominal foreign bodies; (2) To document surgical procedure performed. (3) To see measures for prevention. Design: Observational case series. Setting: Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur. Period: From 1.06.07 to 31.5.08. Patient & Methods: Eleven patients with retained having intra-abdominal foreign body were treated. Relevant history, clinical examination and necessary investigations were done. Exploratory laparotomy was done in 10 cases to remove the foreign body and in one case foreign body passed from the rectum without laparotomy. Results: Out of 11 cases, 54.54% are males and 45.45% were females. Operated in emergency 81.81% and elective 18.18%. 90.91% were operated in periphery and 9.09% in the tertiary care centre. Clinical presentations were intestinal obstruction (27.27%), intraabdominal abscess (13.18%), Discharging sinus (18.18%), mass abdomen (18.18%),entero cutaneous fistula (9.09%), peritonitis (9.09%). Exploratory laparotomy was done in 90.91%, to remove the foreign body and in 1 case passed per rectum. Conclusions: Retained foreign bodies presented as intestinal obstruction, abscess, sinus fistula mass, or peritonitis. It is avoidable iatrogenic surgical complication, mostly found in operations done in emergency and at peripheral hospitals. Exploratory laparotomy remains the mainstay of treatment to remove the intra-abdominal foreign body. Surgeon should be vigilant to avoid mishap by check on counting, tucking sponge, blackboard counting, examining abdomen, screening in suspicious case and claim for radio-opaque sponges.Referral system needs improvements for in time adequate treatment.
