Here we describe a case of Reye syndrome diagnosed at postmortem liver biopsy of a three-year oldgirl who presented with vomiting, low grade fever for three days and loss of consciousness for 18hours. Clinically, the differential diagnoses were meningitis, encephalitis and septicemia. No historyof past illness or any drug ingestion including aspirin were present. Laboratory investigationsindicated a diagnosis of Reye syndrome. The child was given supportive treatment but died aftertwo days of admission and postmortem needle-biopsy of the liver showed microvesicular steatosisconsistent with Reye syndrome.Key words: Microvesicular steatosis, mitochondrial hepatopathy, Reye syndrome, Reye-like syndrome

Summary Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults with a relative incidence amongst other sarcomas ranging from 9.8% to 16%. It usually locates in the limbs and retroperitoneum. Primary liposarcomas of the larynx and hypopharynx are rare, comprising less than 20% of all head and neck liposarcomas. According to World Health Organization, these tumors are divided into four histologic types, and well-differentiated liposarcoma is the most common one. It is a tumor of low-grade malignancy that may recur locally, but does not metastasize. We present a case of laryngopharyngeal well- differentiated liposarcoma in an old patient with two previous removals. We also discuss recently published cases with this unusual location of liposarcoma.

ABSTRACTRosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a self-limiting, benign histiocytic disorder. We report a case of RDD mimicking lymphoma clinically and cytologically in a 3-year-old male child. The present case highlights the importance of cytology in the diagnosis of RDD along with cytological features of other differential diagnoses.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterised by non-caseating multiple granulomas involving virtually any organ in the body. The aetiology and natural history of sarcoidosis remains obscure. Hepatosplenic sarcoidosis is rare with image-based diagnosis difficult if no other organ is already involved. This case report describes a patient with asymptomatic liver and spleen involvement in which a final diagnosis was achieved with contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guided liver biopsy.

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a very rare, atypical myofibroblastic tumor with fibromatosis-like features with predilection mostly in head and neck region. LGMS occurs primarily in adult patients with a slight male predominance. Only few cases of LGMS affecting the larynx have been reported in literature to this date. We describe a case of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma of the larynx in a 40-year-old male patient. The clinicopathological characteristics, immunohistochemical findings and treatment are discussed.
