Orbital Tumours

Periorbital neurofibromas can occur either in isolation or in association with neurofibromatosis (NF). Neurofibromas in the periorbital region account for 0.5-2.4% of orbital tumours. Hypertrichosis overlying neurofibromas are rarely reported cases in literature. We report a case of localized hypertrichosis overlying neurofibroma in a 27 year old female with no other features of neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromas can occur as solitary lesions or in association with neurofibromatosis. Our patient had diffuse hypertrichosis on a hyperpigmented macule overlying and around the periorbital neurofibroma.

Case Presentation

Abstract Background: Subhepatic appendicitis is an exceedingly rare presentation accounting for 0.01% of Acute appendicitis. It is of prime importance to be aware of various variants and thereby managing such challenging cases accordingly.Case presentation: We present a middle-aged female patient with subhepatic perforated appendicitis and peritonitis who underwent an exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy.Conclusions: Surgical management of such patients is challenging due to an atypical presentation. The surgical management of such patients is discussed with a brief review of literature.

Mixed epithelial stromal tumour of the kidney (MESTK) is a rare genitourinary tract tumour. MESTK is typically seen in perimenopausal women and rarely reported in men and children. MESTK has been included in the WHO renal tumour classification since 2004. Here, we present a case of 50-year-old female patient who underwent left radical nephrectomy for left renal mass. Postoperative positron emission tomography (PET) scan also showed nodal metastasis, for which, she was started on chemotherapy.

We present 3.5-month-old female patient who had dermatitis and depigmentation of hair and eye lashes, malnutrition, edema and anemia as presenting symptoms of CF. After pancreatic enzyme and vitamin supplementation therapy, skin changes gradually disappeared, and her hair regained its normal brown colour

Larval Phase

Hydatid cyst (HD) disease is a parasitic infection produced by cysts containing the Echinococcus granulosus larval phase. Patients with HC are typically asymptomatic until incidentally diagnosed or when complications occur. A rare presentation of liver HC is spontaneous cutaneous fistualization; we report a 63- year-old female patient admitted in the hospital in 2019 (Al-Thora General Hospital, Ibb, Yemen) with an infected cutaneous fistula induced by a ruptured HC. The patient underwent laparotomy and partial cystectomy with excision of the fistula tract. The main purpose of this report is for physicians to consider this diagnosis when they face an unusual cutaneous fistula near HC common involved organs, especially in areas where the prevalence of this disease is high. We also briefly discuss the management and outcome of this disease. Keywords: Case Report; Complications; Cutaneous Fistula; Echinococcosis; Liver; Surgery.

Av Malformation

Neurofibromatosis with arteriovenous malformation is not very common and can results in complications, making it treatment more challenging and futile. Young man with complicated neurofibromatosis with limb deformity and joint destruction by arteriovenous malformation with life threatening syncopal attacks and generalized weakness is a rare presentation in our case. Multiple surgeries with recurrent symptoms and destructed limb makes the conservative surgery futile, hence amputation is considered best in such circumstances by authors. Amputation can be considered in symptomatic patient with gross limb deformity in such case for better quality of life.

Secondary Phenomenon

ABSTRACT An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign osteolytic bony lesion that commonly affects the long bones with rare presentation in the jaws. The etiopathogenesis of ABC is unsure. Several theories have been suggested like trauma, intramedullary hematoma, alterations in local hemodynamics, reactive malformation, and genetic predisposition. Though ABCs are considered as secondary phenomenon in preexisting benign and malignant bony lesions, intermittent reports of ABCs with primary/denovo origin are generating perplexity in the scenario. Here, we describe a rare case of giant ABC involving mandible extending from right angle of mandible to left canine region which crosses midline, in a 10-year-old female patient, without any evidence of preexisting bony lesion.

Plexiform Neurofibromatosis

Although more than 100 cases of genitourinary neurofibromas have been reported, only 16 cases of solitary neurofibroma arising in the penis have been reported in English literature. There can be diffuse or localised pelvic involvement in cases of neurofibromatosis and sometimes these masses can extend into and disfigure the external genitalia. We report an unusual case of plexiform neurofibroma arising from penis and review the literature on penile neurofibromas.

Idiopathic Macular Telangiectasia

We report a bilateral case of type 1 idiopathic macular telangiectasia (IMT) in a female patient. A 40-year-old otherwise healthy female with gradual vision loss since 2 years ago with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/400 in both eyes was referred. Her past medical history was negative for any systemic disease including diabetes and systemic hypertension. Color fundus photography showed bilateral loss of normal foveal reflex with macular edema. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated symmetric perifoveal telangiectasia mainly in the superior and nasal macula in both eyes with late staining and leakage. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed significant intraretinal fluid bilaterally and subretinal fluid in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) revealed obvious saccular parafoveal capillary telangiectasia and capillary dropout as well as decreased vascular density in both superficial and deep capillary plexus. Deep capillary plexus involvement in OCTA was more evident than superficial plexus. Based on the patient’s medical history and multimodal imaging, the diagnosis of bilateral IMT type 1 was made. The patient underwent 5 intravitreal monthly injection of bevacizumab in both eyes, which resulted in macular edema resolution. However, after 3 months of discontinuation of intravitreal bevacizumab, macular edema relapsed. In conclusion, type 1 IMT can occur bilaterally in an otherwise healthy female patient as a very rare presentation. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the 4th case of bilateral type 1 IMT reported in a female.

St Elevation

Sumatriptan is an agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine type-1 (5HT1) receptors that is widely used as a migraine abortant; however, there have been studies showing angina, coronary vasospasm, and even myocardial infraction in patients with predisposing cardiac risk factors. We present the case of a female patient with no cardiovascular risk factor who developed ST-elevation myocardial infraction 30 minutes after ingesting oral sumatriptan for her migraine.
