Nodular hidradenoma: A rare tumor in children

Hidradenomas are the benign cutaneous tumors of sweat gland origin, with the clear cell type constituting the most frequent histologic variety. Usually, they are diagnosed in the elderly population, the peak incidence being the fifth to sixth decade. Very few cases of hidradenoma have been documented in children in their first decade of life. Here, we present a rare and interesting case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with swelling on the anterior aspect of the neck, since birth. The histological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of nodular hidradenoma

Cardiac Valvular Inflammatory Pseudotumor

Inflammatory pseudotumors are quasineoplastic lesions that occur in the lungs as well as other extrapulmonary sites. The heart is an uncommon site of origin. We report a valvular pseudotumor that produced chronic mitral and aortic regurgitation in an elderly woman

Juvenile granulosa cell tumour of the ovary with unilocular pure cystic presentation : a case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND: Granulosa cell tumours of the ovary are rare, hormonally active, oestrogen-secreting tumours of the ovary existing in two forms: the adult form and the even rarer juvenile form. These tumours present as predominantly solid lesions while the cystic, unilocular presentation is uncommon. CASE REPORT: We present an 18-year-old unmarried girl who presented with complaints of chronic pain, abdominal distension and presence of facial hair. Radiological examination revealed a large, purely cystic, unilocular lesion without any solid components, debris or septations. Histopathological diagnosis was of a juvenile granulosa cell tumour. CONCLUSIONS: Radiological criteria suggestive of malignant ovarian masses include thick, irregular walls and septae; papillary projections and solid, echogenic foci. Nonetheless, we propose that a malignant ovarian lesion should be included in the differential diagnosis of a unilocular, purely cystic ovarian lesion

Pathological aspects of a rare association of duodenal teratoma with exomphalos minor

Teratomas are neoplasms, which are foreign to the anatomic site of occurrence. They occur in children, most commonly in sacrococcygeal region and gonads and less frequently at other sites. Teratomas of gastrointestinal tract are very rare. We report pathological aspects of an unusual case of teratoma having communication with the duodenum with exomphalos minor and malrotation of the intestine
