<p>Foreign body in ear is an emergency encountered by an otolaryngologist and if not removed it can lead to serious complications. Most commonly foreign body in ear is lodged in external auditory canal while it’s rare to find it in middle ear. We report a case of foreign body in the middle ear in a 3-year-old child who presented to us with chronic discharging ear who was then suspected to be unsafe ear and so was taken up for exploration under microscope. A pink polypoidal mass arising from middle ear mucosa was found and following its removal- to our surprise; a blackish rubbery debris filling the middle ear cavity and attic area along with embedded foreign body was extracted. We conclude that pediatric patients with chronic ear discharge not responding to antibiotics should raise a suspicion of FB in the middle ear and explored timely.</p>

Carcinosarcoma (CS) of uterus is a relatively rare tumour and accounts for less than 1 percent of malignant growth of the female genital tract. This tumour contains both malignant epithelial component and malignant stromal component. So, it is also known as malignant mixed mullerian tumours (MMMTS). Carcinosarcoma usually arise from endometrium and myometrium and rarely from cervix, ovary. The clinical presentation is mostly postmenopausal bleeding but enlarging pelvic mass, pelvic pain, vaginal discharge or polypoidal mass protruding through the cervical os are also frequently present. The risk factors include obesity, exogenous estrogen, nulliparity, exposure to radiation & temoxifen. Histological evaluation by endometrial biopsy will establish the diagnosis in most cases. Carcinosarcoma is aggressive type of tumour; extra-uterine spread is very common and generally carries a poor prognosis. The prognosis depends on the extent of the tumour at the time of primary surgery. This case report describes a rare type of presentation of the tumour which arose from the body & cervix of uterus and presented with a polypoidal mass prolapsed into the vagina. The case was properly diagnosed & managed by surgery and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjog.v25i1.13730 Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2010; Vol. 25(1) : 33-36

Uterine carcinosarcoma is a rare aggressive tumor also known as Malignant Mixed MullerianTumor.  Prognosis is poor with 30-40% having extrauterine involvement at the first presentation and over 10% with distant metastasis. The primary treatment is surgery, along with radio-chemotherapy. We report a case of uterine carcinosarcoma in a 65 y para four lady who presented with blood mixed discharge per vagina for one month and polypoidal mass protruding through the cervical os. Endometrial biopsy showed carcinosarcoma. She was managed with surgery. She received adjuvant chemotherapy paclitaxel and carboplatin. There was no recurrence at six months follow-ups.

Placental polyp is one of the rare diseases that can affect women after delivery or abortion for indenite period which forms a polypoidal mass in the uterus.1 The incidence of placental polyp is less than 0.25% of all pregnancies.2 The case report is of a 41 year old woman, G8 P6L6 A1 who presented on postpartum day 19 and 30 with secondary postpartum haemorrhage. She underwent check curettage on postpartum day 19 and was discharged. And had to undergo emergency hysterectomy on postpartum day 32 as she presented in shock due to secondary postpartum haemorrhage and the histopathologic ndings were compatible with a placental polyp. Placental polyp can be missed on ultrasound and blind procedure like curettage and histopathology gives a conrmatory diagnosis. In our study, the diagnosis was conrmed by histopathology.

Sphenochoanal polyp are rare tumours arising from sphenoid sinus. The main presenting complain is gradually progressing nasal obstruction. Sphenochoanal polyp mimics antrochoanal polyp clinically. To differentiate it from antrochoanal polyp, diagnostic nasal endoscopy, computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the paranasal sinuses are the investigation of choice. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is the line of treatment.: A 33years old female presented with right nasal obstruction since 2 years. On Diagnostic nasal endoscopy polypoidal mass was seen partially obliterating the right nasal cavity not arising from middle meatus. CT scan showed polypoidal mass obliterating the nasal cavity, choana and Sphenoid sinus. It was completely excised by functional endoscopic surgery.We present this rare case to highlight the use of diagnostic nasal endoscopy and Computed Tomography in the diagnosis and treatment of Sphenochoanal polyps

Gastric carcinosarcoma is an extremely rare, aggressive, biphasic tumour composed of a mixture of carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. Clinical symptoms and imaging studies of carcinosarcoma are not different from that of carcinoma. Biopsy of the lesions may not include both components. Thus, a diagnosis of carcinosarcoma is often rendered in surgical specimens. Immunohistochemistry will help to identify the various components. The relative proportion of the carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements is variable. One of the components may dominate the histologic picture. The common carcinomatous component described is adenocarcinoma with rare cases, showing neuroendocrine and squamous elements. The sarcomatous elements include spindle cell sarcoma which was Not Otherwise Specified (NOS), leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, liposarcoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, myxoid sarcomas, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Herein, the authors are reporting the case of a 62-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting of three-month duration. Endoscopic examination revealed a large polypoidal mass lesion in the body of stomach. Subtotal gastrectomy was done which showed large polypoidal mass lesion measuring 12×9.5×6 cm. Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic neoplasm with close intermingling of malignant epithelial and mesenchymal elements. Carcinoma component showed glandular, squamous and neuroendocrine areas. The sarcomatous component was spindle cell sarcoma, NOS. On immunohistochemical examination, epithelial component showed cytokeratin positivity. The neuroendocrine component was positive for synaptophysin, chromogranin A and CD56. The p40 positivity noted in the squamous component. The mesenchymal component showed positivity for vimentin. The nodal metastasis showed admixture of carcinoma (glandular and squamous components) and sarcoma.

Rhinosporidiosis caused by Rhinosporidium seeberii, a protistal microorganism, is endemic in several parts of India. Infection involves mucous membranes of the nose and paranasal sinuses and usually manifests as vascular friable polyps. A few cases of rhinosporidoisis have been reported from Delhi, in patients who were migrants from other states. The present case constitutes the first report of rhinosporidiosis in a Delhi resident; the lesion occurred as polypoidal mass of the palpebral conjunctiva.
