<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare benign disease with a self-limiting course. Patients usually present with clinical features of tender cervical lymphadenopathy (LAP), fever, malaise, weight loss, and night sweats. The disease may mimic infective LAP or lymphoma on clinical and histopathological examination (HPE). <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> We report a case of 3-year-old male child who presented to us with bilateral cervical LAP not responding to conservative management. Excision biopsy was done and HPE revealed KFD. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Clinicians should have high index of suspicion for diagnosis of KFD in patients with cervical LAP not responding to conservative management. Excision biopsy is important for accurate diagnosis and to avoid aggressive interventions like chemotherapy.

Localized Cystic Disease of the Kidney (LCDK) is an extremely rare benign disease in pediatric population. Although its management is conservative and generally requires no treatment, the unfamiliarity with the disease can expose such patients to misdiagnosis as renal malignancies or uncertainty for proper treatment. We report such a case in an infant and review the current literature.

ABSTRACT The trichoepithelioma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm which is derived from hair follicles. It is common in the face, but there are only three reports of the solitary occurrence on the nose. It is often not recognized because of its rarity, controversial classification, origin and biological potential. The objective of this paper is to present a case of solitary trichoepithelioma on the nose, histopathological examination and treatment. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a solitary lesion of nose which is confused with basal cell carcinoma. The confirmation by histopathological examination is essential.

ABSTRACTHuman coenurosis is a rare zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of Tinea multiceps seen in sheep-rearing countries. We report the case of a 63-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with a working diagnosis of skull base chondrosarcoma. Histopathological examination after surgical excision revealed characteristic feature of coenurus with multiple scolices invaginating from the outer cuticular layer. Coenuri are often mistaken for giant cysticercal cysts and hydatid cysts. Despite its wide prevalence in cattle, only two cases of human coenurosis are reported from India till date. We report the third case from India.

AbstractMesenteric fibromatosis is a part of the clinical-pathologic spectrum of deep fibromatoses. We report this rare case of primary mesenteric tumor that was diagnosed to be a mesenteric fibromatosis on histopathological examination.In majority of patients it may remain asymptomatic and the management of these tumors depends on histopathological examination. Postoperatively, patient was well and subsequent follow up showed normal recovery.

<p>Epidermoid carcinoma is a frequent tumor in the upper aerodiodestive tracts, and depending on its location and tumor, nodes, metastases (TNM) stage, its therapy and prognosis vary enormously. Its location in the hypopharynx is rare, and in children or young adolescents, this location is extremely rare; The incriminated causes and the pathophysiology of the development of these tumors at this age remain a mystery. We present the case of a young patient of 13 years old, followed for squamous cell carcinoma of the right piriform sinus, with contralateral synchronous tonsil localization, and right lateral cervical lymphadenopathy fixed at 5 cm. In the absence of existing guidelines on the management of this type of location at this age, a multi-disciplinary meeting was necessary to decide on the management of this difficult case at this age.</p>

<p class="abstract">Presentation of two papulosquamous disorders in a same individual is rare condition till date. Independently, psoriasis and Lichen planus (LP) are common inflammatory skin conditions affecting around 2-3% and 1% of HIV (Human immune deficiency) positive population respectively. As reviewed in the literature, psoriasis may be independently associated with other autoimmune conditions like vitiligo, alopecia areata, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus. In this article, we presented a case report of a HIV seropositive patient who suffered from psoriasis and lichen planus. The coexistence of psoriasis and lichen planus in one individual is rare and underreported in literature. Psoriasis or lichen planus may be the presenting feature of HIV infection and tends to be more severe, to have atypical presentations. Psoriasis and lichen planus can be coexistent or successionally appear one after other in one individual though rare presentation. High index of suspicion is always required while dealing with papulosquamous lesions in PLHIV.</p><p> </p>

The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.
