Rare case of intramuscular hemangioma of infraspinatous muscle.

Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign neoplasms accounting for <1% of all hemangiomas. Intramuscular hemangiomas are relatively uncommon and frequently misdiagnosed, due to their vague presentations. In any patient with soft-tissue mass suspected of a hemangioma, MR imaging may provide very specific information regarding the characteristics, the origin, and the extent of the lesion than other imaging modalities. The definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological study of the surgical specimen. Here, we present a case report of intramuscular hemangioma occurring in the left infraspinatous muscle in an 18-year-old boy. Due to rare nature of such lesions, the patient's diagnosis was delayed and patient was treated for chronic pain in left shoulder joint. Magnetic resonance imaging finally clinched the diagnosis and patient was successfully operated upon and subsequently cured.

A rare extra scrotal spermatocele: a rare case presentation.

Right Inguinal region pain is a common complaint evaluated in surgical department. The number of differential diagnoses is lowered when the pain in a male patient is associated with a palpable tender mass. These diagnoses include inguinal hernia, inflamed inguinal lymph node, rectus sheath hematoma, cryptorchidism, mass derived from the spermatic cord, and polyorchidism. Right Inguinal region mass and pain caused by a spermatocele are unusual. Here we report a case of extra scrotal spermatocele causing right Inguinal region swelling and pain. To our knowledge this is a second reported case.

Dengue presenting as gastric perforation: first case reported till date.

Gastrointestinal perforation is one of the common complications of various illness that is associated with high mortality and morbidity. The common sites of perforation in GIT (gastrointestinal tract) are stomach, duodenum, ileum and colon, but in dengue perforation in any of the above site is rare. Here we report an interesting case of gastric perforation that occurred in a young male patient post dengue fever. To our knowledge, this is the first such case of gastric perforation that occurred in our patient with dengue that we are reporting in the literature.

A rare case of herniation of liver through incision of cabg: A case report and review of literature.

Herniation of liver through an incision of previous surgery is a very rare phenomena. Here we present a case of herniation of part of left lobe of liver through a defect in the anterior abdominal wall due to previous coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) surgery. Up till now only two cases have been reported for liver herniation through scar of previous of CABG surgery and this would be the third case as per our knowledge.

Squamous cell carcinoma in left flank due to saree: Largest reported case.

Saree is a female costume unique for Indian ladies. This includes a superficial cloth and a skirt underneath which is fastened securely to the waist by a cord. Persistent and long term wearing of this costume has resulted in waist dermatoses. Waist dermatoses theoretically may present with malignant transformation. Here we present a case of 60 year old female who presented with left flank ulcer following chronic irritation from saree, biopsy was taken and it showed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We decided to do wide excision with tension free suturing. Post operatively the patient followed up for 12 week and has shown to be disease free. This turns out to be the third case being reported and the largest ever to be reported in the literature.

Rare para testicular lipoma: The largest one reported till date.

Lipomas within the scrotum are extremely rare and most of which develop from contents of the scrotum rather than the walls themselves. Intrascrotal lipoma can be classified as paratesticular and extratesticular lipoma. Here we describe a patient with a huge scrotal mass which, to our knowledge, is one of the largest paratesticular lipoma ever reported in the literature.

Bilateral total duplication of clavicle: First reported case.

A very rare first case of bilateral duplication of the clavicle is presented here. Duplication of the clavicle has been described in only six reports based on a search of the world literature, with single case of bilateral duplication (incomplete) of clavicle being reported. The detection of anatomic anomalies are increasing with the advancement of technology in medicine field. This case is more of academic interest as it is the first case of total bilateral duplication of clavicle.

Pedunculated perianal lipoma: a rare presentation.

Lipomas are ubiquitous lesions. Most of the lipomas have a fibrous capsule and are divided into lobules by delicate septae. On gross examination and histological analysis, lipomas resemble mature fatty tissue. They are more compact on the cut surface than normal adipose tissue and the lobules are smaller on histological analysis. There is undoubtedly some physiologic difference between fat of lipoma and normal fat. Perianal lipomas are rare and may have deeper or interspincteric extensions. Preoperative evaluation to rule it out is a necessary part of the work up for any perianal lipoma. The case report is of a soft swelling on left side in the perianal region, which was investigated to rule out nature of the lesion or deeper and interspincteric extension. Case was managed by complete enucleation of the lipomatous swelling. Gross and microscopic examination of the surgical specimen revealed a perianal pedunculated lipoma.

Round worm infestation in fundus of stomach: a rare case presentation.

A case of a 27-year-old female, in whom a 10cm long round worm (Ascaris lumbricoides) was found in the fundus of stomach, is reported here. In this patient, Ascaris lumbricoides upward migration of the worm to the fundus of stomach, its rare phenomenon, worm mostly seen in the small intestine. This is mainly because of the high gastric ac idity. In this patient, we believe proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use caused hypochlorhydria and coexistence H. pylori infection caused chronic atrophic gastritis, which resulted in the retrograde migration of the roundworm to the stomach in our patient.

Actinomycotic lid abscess: a rare presentation.

Actinomycosis is a gram positive filamentous branching anaerobic bacilli that Is difficult to Isolate and Identify. We present this case of a 15 year old patient who developed repeated infection over a Contused lacerated wound (CLW) on forehead. Cytology revealed Actinomycosis. He subsequently developed upper eyelid actinomycotic inflammatory swelling. Modified Welsh treatment was started and five months of therapy resulted in complete resolution of the infection. Hence any wound with repeated infection should be examined for Act inomycosis. When identified at the right time, such infections show dramatic response to Modified Welsh Therapy

Giant left ureteric stone.

A 24 year old male presented with acute pain in left loin with burning micturition, investigation revealed minimal functioning of left kidney with left hydronephrosis and hydroureter and a giant ureteric calculus. He underwent open ureterolithotomy. A giant ureteric calculus measuring 10.5 cm and weighing 49 gm was retrieved from the left ureter post-operative recovery was eventful and was discharged after 10 days.
