Intra thyroid thyroglossal cyst: a rare presentation

Thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital malformation occurring due to incomplete closure of the thyroglossal duct. The infrequency with which it is encountered in thyroid makes it a formidable diagnostic challenge. Authors report this case because of the rarity of intrathyroid location of thyroglossal cyst.

A rare case of composite type of gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma

Cancers exhibiting a combination of epithelial and neuroendocrine features can occur in various organs. In the WHO classification of neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, such tumors are called “mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas”. They may be composite, combined or amphicrine type. We present here a rare case of composite adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma of stomach

Periosteal Chondrosarcoma of Metacarpal Bone

Chondrosarcomas of the hand are very rare, constituting less than 0.5% of all chondrosarcomas. Metacarpal involvement and juxtacortical location are still rarer. We report a case of periosteal chondrosarcoma of metacarpal bone in a 38-year-old man, who presented with swelling of the left hand. He underwent extended ray amputation with removal of the entire left third metacarpal bone. Histopathological and radiological features of the tumour are described. Recognition of periosteal chondrosarcoma and its differentiation from other surface bone tumours is very important because the prognosis is excellent after adequate local surgery
