Successful treatment of hydatid cyst of lesser sac with pair therapy

Hydatid disease has varied presentations and may involve any part of the body with hydatid disease of the liver being the most common site. Hydatid disease of lesser sac is a rare entity. Different treatment options of hydatid liver disease are available which include surgical, medical and radiological management. Surgical management has its limitations in terms of cost, morbidity, mortality, rate of recurrence and patient fitness to undergo surgery. Medical management alone carries a low chance of cure. Radiological management with PAIR therapy [percutaneous aspiration, injection and re-aspiration] of hydatid liver disease has been well described in literature. However, hydatid disease of lesser sac in itself is a rare entity and its treatment with PAIR procedure has not been described before. We describe a case of hydatid disease of lesser sac treated with the PAIR procedure.

Multiple breast masses in a case of multiple myeloma

Myeloma of the breast is a rare entity with only a few reported cases in the literature. It is usually secondary to adjacent bone disease with only a few instances of primary involvement of the breast. We present a rare case of plasmacytoma of left humerus that presented with multiple breast masses and skin nodules. Histopathology of the breast and skin nodules showed plasma cells consistent with the diagnosis of multiple myeloma
