A 37-year-old Indian female presented with forward protrusion of left eye for one week, associated with progressive diminution of vision. The patient had undergone sinus surgery for nasal polyposis a year ago. On examination, there was severe proptosis and limitation of extraocular movements in all gazes. CT-scan revealed a heterogeneous expansile mass, arising from left fronto-ethmoidal sinus, infiltrating left orbit. MRI showed T2-hyperintense, peripherally enhancing areas in bilateral nasal cavity (right >left), bilateral ethmoidal sinuses and frontal, sphenoidal and maxillary sinuses. Otorhinolaryngology consultation was sought and in view of vision threatening proptosis — with likely orbital compartment syndrome — emergent endoscopic guided exploration and orbital decompression was undertaken. Rapid relief of signs and symptoms was achieved, with normal vision, extraocular movements and resolution of proptosis. Cytology and microbiology ruled out infectious or malignant aetiology and helped in resolving a diagnostic dilemma. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of mucopyocele and follow-up period was uneventful.

Umbilical Endometriosis

Primary umbilical endometriosis is a rare condition with an overall incidence of around 0.5% to 1% among all the endometriosis cases, but at times it poses a diagnostic dilemma. In our institution we encountered a case of primary umbilical endometriosis presented to multiple surgical speciality departments. A prompt clinical examination with surgical biopsy was the key tool which lead to the diagnosis and providing a complete cure for the patient. Pelvic endometriosis affects 5-10% of women in the child bearing age group. The most pronounced symptoms are dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. Clinical presentations of umbilical endometriosis are as a nodule with or without associated umbilical pain and bleeding. This patient was given primary hormonal therapy and later underwent a biopsy which paved way for an accurate diagnosis of primary umbilical endometriosis. In this case of umbilical swelling, conditions like a benign nevus, lipoma, abscess, cyst, hernia, as well as metastatic deposit from a systemic malignancy were considered in the clinical differential diagnosis. However surgical excision helped us arrive at a definitive diagnosis and cure for the patient.

Isolated hydatid disease of the breast is a rare condition, possessing a diagnostic dilemma for the clinicians. Hydatid disease is common in endemic areas affecting most commonly the liver and lungs. Other organs rarely involved are the kidney, bone and brain. It is caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, widely spread by cattle and sheep. Humans are the accidental host for this organism. We present a similar case of isolated hydatid cyst of the breast, which was diagnosed preoperatively and managed successfully.
