Unusual lung mass: benign or malignant?

Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of lung is a rare tumour. It is a slowly growing, indolent tumour. Average time that elapses before diagnosis is reported to be two years. We report the case of a patient who remained well inspite of harbouring primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of lung for 15 years.

Juxtacortical osteogenic sarcoma of mandible. A case report.

Juxtacortical osteogenic sarcoma of bone is a relatively uncommon form of osteogenic sarcoma. In the jaw bones, it is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of Juxtacortical Osteogenic Sarcoma of mandible in a 45 year old man which presented as an epulis in the mandibular incisor region.

Solid cystic tumour of the pancreas-clinico-pathological study of three cases.

During a period of four years three cases of solid and cystic (papillary) tumour of the pancreas were encountered. The patients presented predominantly with chief complaints of lump abdomen associated with dull aching pain in right hypochondrium. Radiologically diagnosis was suspected in two cases. Excessive bleeding during surgery was observed in two cases. In two survivors no recurrence or distant metastasis was noted after surgical excision (follow up 6 months to 3.5 years), third patient died after eight hours of operation.

Concomitant renal oncocytoma and bladder tumour (a case report).

We report a case of concomitant renal oncocytoma and transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder. The presentation was intermittent hematuria, urine outflow obstructive symptoms, and mild chronic renal failure. Renal mass was an incidental finding. He was accordingly managed by transurethral resection of bladder tumour and radical nephrectomy and is tumour free upto one and half year of follow up.

Primary ascaridial perforations of small intestine and Meckel's diverticulum.

The clinical presentation of six cases with primary ascaridial perforations of the terminal ileum (4 cases) and Meckel's diverticulum (2 cases), without any associated underlying intestinal disease, is described. All the cases presented clinically as peritonitis and had worm masses in the intestinal lumen with maximal impaction in the terminal ileum. Ileal perforations were surgically closed in two layers after removal of the worms. Diverticulectomy after removal of the worms was performed for Meckelian diverticular perforations. Peritoneal toilet was done in all the cases. Pressure necrosis from the impacted worm masses probably resulted in these perforations.
