Maxilla And Mandible

Background. Osteoblastoma is a rare benign tumor. This tumor is characterized by osteoid and bone formation with the presence of numerous osteoblasts. The lesion is more frequently seen in long bones and rarely involves maxilla and mandible. Due to its clinical and histological similarity with other bone tumors such as osteoid osteoma and fibro-osseous lesions, osteoblastoma presents a diagnostic dilemma.Case Report. Very few cases of osteoblastomas involving maxillofacial region have been reported in the literature. This case report involves osteoblastoma involving right maxilla in an 18-year-old male patient. Following detailed clinical examination, radiological interpretation, and histopathological diagnosis, surgical excision was performed. The patient was followed up for a period of 3 years and was disease free.Summary and Conclusion. Benign osteoblastoma involving jaw bones is a rare tumor. There is a close resemblance of this tumor with other lesions such as fibro-osseous lesions and odontogenic tumors and thus faces a diagnostic challenge. Surgical excision with a long-term follow-up gives good prognosis to this lesion—Benign Osteoblastoma.

BACKGROUND: Secretory carcinoma of the endometrium, a rare subtype of endometrioid carcinoma morphologically resembles the early secretory phase of endometrium and is almost always well differentiated and carries excellent prognosis. Very few cases of secretory carcinoma have been reported in the literature till date. Case presentation:A 58 yr old obese female presented with post-menopausal bleeding. Ultrasound revealed increased endometrial thickness and endometrial biopsy showed hyperplasia without atypia in secretory transformation. Pathological examination of the hysterectomy specimen revealed features of secretory carcinoma of the endometrium as an incidental nding. CONCLUSION: Secretory carcinoma, a rare subtype of well differentiated endometrial carcinoma carries very good prognosis and morphologically mimics various pathological conditions of endometrium. Hence, this needs to be carefully evaluated morphologically in addition with immunohistochemical markers to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.

Histopathological Evaluation

Serous borderline tumor is a rare entity of peritoneum which can lead to diagnostic dilemma due to its resemblance with reactive lesions of peritoneum and ovarian borderline and malignant neoplasms. Complete clinical details, histopathological evaluation and immunohistochemistry aid in arriving at correct diagnosis. Recognizing this entity is important as it carries good prognosis.

AbstractMeigs' syndrome is a rare but well known syndrome defined as the association of ascites, pleural effusion and a benign solid ovarian tumor usually a fibroma in which tumor removal leads to complete resolution of pleural and peritoneal effusions. We report a case of Meigs' syndrome in a post menopausal woman which mimicked ovarian malignancy creating a diagnostic dilemma where the lady had complete recovery after surgery. Considering the good prognosis of Meigs' syndrome, prompt and accurate diagnosis is necessary to differentiate the syndrome from other ovarian malignancies.

Limiting Condition

Caffey disease is a rare and self-limiting condition characterised by cortical hyperostosis with inflammation of adjacent fascia and muscles. It usually presents in infancy and clinical features include hyperirritability, acute inflammation with swelling of overlying soft tissues and subperiosteal new bone formation. Awareness of the existence of this rare condition and its typical clinical and radiological profile will avoid unnecessary investigations and treatment and help the physician to explain its good prognosis to parents of affected children. We report a three-month-old male infant who presented to the Outpatient Paediatrics Department at Moti Lal Nehru Medical College, Allahabad, India, in 2018 with a right shoulder mass, decreased upper limb movements and irritability. The patient was treated with ibuprofen and paracetamol. Irritability and limitation of movement improved over a treatment period of two weeks.Keywords: Caffey Disease; Infant; Prostaglandin E1; Thrombocytosis; Case Report; India.
