Noncaseating Granulomas

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease with multisystem involvement characterized by the presence of noncaseating granulomas. It can affect virtually every organ of the body, with lung involvement being most common occurring in >90% of patients. Other organs affected are skin, eye and liver. Skin involvement is common, affecting 25-35%. Here we present a rare case of a 15 year-old male with isolated oculocutaneous sarcoidosis without systemic involvement.

Rationale: Linezolid (LNZ) induced Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions (CADRs) have rare atypical presentation. Till date, there are very few published case reports on LNZ induced CADRs among the multidrug-resistant patients suffering from Infective Endocarditis (MDR IE). Here, we present a rare case report of LNZ induced CARs in a MDR IE patient. Case report: A 24-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with chief complaints of fever (101°C) associated with rigors, chills, and shortness of breath (grade IV) for the past 4 days. She was diagnosed with MDR IE, having a prior history of rheumatic heart disease. She was prescribed LNZ 600mg IV BD for MDR IE, against Staphylococcus coagulase-negative. The patient experienced flares of cutaneous reactions with multiple hyper-pigmented maculopapular lesions all over the body after one week of LNZ therapy. Upon causality assessment, she was found to be suffering from LNZ induced CADRs. LNZ dose was tapered gradually and discontinued. The patient was prescribed corticosteroids along with other supportive care. Her reactions completely subsided and infection got controlled following 1 month of therapy. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals should be vigilant for rare CADRs, while monitoring the patients on LNZ therapy especially in MDR patients as they are exposed to multiple drugs. Moreover, strengthened spontaneous reporting is required for better quantification.

<p>Human cysticercosis is a common tropical disease which is caused by Cysticercus cellulosae, larvae of a tapeworm, Taenia solium. Cysticercosis can involve any tissue in the body; the most common affected sites are central nervous system, subcutaneous tissue, eyes, and muscles. Extensive intramuscular Cysticercosis without any other systemic involvement is a very rare finding. Here, we report a case of intramuscular Cysticercosis incidentally diagnosed by plain radiographs in a 51 year-old man who presented with osteoarthritis right knee joint and Cysticercosis was an incidental finding.</p>

<p class="abstract">Nasolabial cysts are rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue developmental cysts occur in the maxillary lip and nasal alar regions. Patients usually presents with an asymptomatic soft swelling with obliteration of the nasolabial fold. Due to it's origin from entrapped epithelium in an embryonic fusion plane developmentally, this cyst is considered to be a Hamartoma. Hamartomas are non-neoplastic malformations, or inborn errors of tissue development. They are characterized by an abnormal mixture of tissues indigenous to that area of the body. Complete surgical excision is the accepted method of treatment. This report aimed to present a case of nasolabial cyst hamartoma, which is rare in presentation.</p>

<p class="abstract">Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown origin. The lung is the most commonly affected organ, but skin is frequently involved. Skin involvement is important because it may be the presenting sign of systemic sarcoidosis.

Granulomatous Disorder

ABSTRACT Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disorder caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. It usually presents as a soft polypoidal pedunculated or sessile mass. Nose and nasopharynx are the commonly affected sites, but other sites, such as conjunctiva, the lips, palate, uvula, maxillary antrum, epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchus, ear, scalp, vulva, vagina, penis, and rectum, have been reported. However, cutaneous manifestation is rare. We report such a case of a 50-year-old male patient from rural south Odisha presenting to the ENT Department of SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, with multiple granulomatous growths of different sizes all over the body, along with a nasal mass, of 2½-year duration. He also gives history of a surgery on his nose 3 year back. Histopathology of the excised cutaneous and nasal lesions confirmed our diagnosis as rhinosporidiosis. On the basis of these clinical and histopathological findings, a diagnosis of nasal rhinosporidiosis with disseminated cutaneous spread was made. How to cite this article Ray CS, Joshi A, Khatua RK.

Objective: To report a rare case of drug induced overlap of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrosis Syndrome exacerbated by cephalexin. Case summary: In this case report we present a 65-year-old female who had come to the hospital with complaints of Sloughing of the skin and redness all over the body with raised body temperature. She was on therapeutic Phenytoin to prevent the post-surgical complications of Communicating Hydrocephalus. After a detailed examination it was found that the patient had misemployed with an overdose of Phenytoin. The patient was found with nikolsky sign and diagnosed as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrosis overlap. This case report emphasizes phenytoin induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrosis syndrome exacerbated by cephalexin. Practice implications: By witnessing this phenomenon, we could figure out the association between cephalexin and Stevens-Johnson syndrome- Toxic Epidermal Necrosis syndrome overlap. The Immediate dismissal of the offending agent and commencement of supportive care was found to be effective.
