Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly that affects tissues of mesodermal and ectodermal origin. Musculoskeletal involvement frequently requires orthopedic intervention.

Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

Abstract Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare tumor of appendix it accounts for only 0.4% of the gastrointestinal tract malignancies and is reported rarely in literature. Therefore the surgical management is not yet established. Here we report a case of a 65 year old female who presented with a dragging sensation and a feeling of mass in right iliac fossa. Her computed tomography (CT) suggested an abscess formation of the parietal peritoneum. She was planned for laparotomy and upon exploration a mass was found arising from tip of retroperitoneal appendix. Whole of the appendix was studded with mucoid material. Limited right hemicolectomy was performed and histopathology of appendix showed mucinous cystadenoma with no evidence of malignant changes. Patient remained uneventful and was discharged on 4th post operative day. The unusual presentation of retroperitoneal pseudomyxoma without any intraperitoneal pathology, prompted us to report this case. Continuous...

Synovial sarcoma (SS) represents about 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is believed that its origin would be found in cells that are related neither to ultrastructural nor to histological features of the synovial tissue. Head and neck is very rarely affected, with the lower extremities being most frequent. Complete resection with or without radiotherapy and chemotherapy is currently considered the best available therapy. This time we present the case of a patient with SS located in the infratemporal fossa, its diagnosis, treatment and evolution. According to our knowledge it is the first reported case in South America.
