Solitary fibrous tumor of nasal cavity: a rare case report with review of literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor is an unusual soft tissue neoplasm. Commonly the tumor is located in pleural cavity but recently has been described in many extra-thoracic locations. Nose and paranasal sinuses are rare sites for this tumor and so far less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature. In the nasal cavity the tumor usually presents as a polypoidal intranasal mass in a middle aged patient. Erosion of adjacent structures may occur but tumor does not metastasize. Local excision is almost invariably curable. We report SFT in a 50 year old patient with involvement of unilateral nasal cavity and all paranasal sinuses.

Pneumatosis intestinalis in an adult: a report of an unusual case.

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a rare condition affecting 0.03-0.37% of general population. This entity has varied presentation which ranges from asymptomatic to surgical emergency in the form of acute abdomen. The acute abdomen presentation can be bowel necrosis, perforation or persistent bowel obstruction. We present a case of PI of small intestine in an adult patient admitted in emergency department who presented with acute abdomen and pneumo-peritoneum.

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the salivary gland: A spectrum of lymphoepithelial sialadenitis, low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue with transformation to high-grade lymphoma.

Lymphoid infiltrates of the salivary gland can be either reactive or neoplastic. The reactive lesion, lymphoepithelial sialadenitis (LESA) may be associated with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) or may occur as an isolated salivary gland enlargement. Patients with LESA/SS have a particularly high risk of subsequently developing lymphoma, which is a low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type lymphoma of the salivary gland. We document a rare case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the parotid gland arising in the background of LESA and with a rare example of transformation from low grade to high-grade B cell lymphoma of MALT type.

Peutz-Jegher's syndrome with ovarian serous cystadenoma: an unusual association.

A 29 year female presented with epigastric pain with bilious vomiting since 1 1/2 years. This patient was diagnosed as a case of Peutz-Jegher's syndrome based on evidence of the characteristic mucocutaneous pigmentation which was present since birth and intestinal hamartomatous polyposis. There was an associated unilateral ovarian cystadenoma which is a rare association and which highlights the importance of a gynaecologic examination in female patients with Peutz-Jegher's syndrome.

Self inflicted, bilateral oleogranuloma of the breast: report of a bizarre case.

A 30-year-old male was admitted with bilateral painful breast enlargement of 6 months duration. There was a past history of surgery for similar bilateral swellings, which was then diagnosed as fibrocystic disease. On examination both breasts were firm to hard, tender & adherent to deeper structures. A single axillary lymph node was palpable on each side. The clinical diagnosis was sarcoma of the breast. After initial denial, the patient confessed to having injected gear oil into both the breasts,for the purpose of augmentation. He was a homosexual.
