Traumatic bone cyst or simple bone cyst of the jaw is a very rare entity. It is usually seen during the routine radiographic examination. Etiopathogenesis of this cyst is still controversial. Usually traumatic bone cyst is devoid of epithelial lining. Here in we report a case of traumatic bone cyst in a 26 year old female.

Background: Ultrasound Imaging can be used as a painless, non-invasive modality for the detection of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Aims: To determine the association of abnormal lipid profiles in persons identified with NAFLD using ultrasound. Settings and Design: Retrospective observational study design at a single Centre. Subjects and Methods: The study included subjects aged 20 to 70 years, identified with NAFLD based on ultrasound findings, with biochemical test results of lipid profile and with NAFLD graded based on ultrasound findings. Statistical Analysis used: A one way Analysis of Variation test (ANOVA) was used to compare the lipid profiles by grades of NAFLD. The lipid profiles were also categorized as optimal or normal and abnormal values and compared by grades of NAFLD. A p value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The study included 100 subjects (males=87) with a mean age of 46.1 ± 11.2 years. Eighty nine subjects were categorized as grade I NAFLD, 9 as grade 2 NAFLD and 2 subjects as Grade III NAFLD. The mean ± SD total cholesterol was 195.55 ± 43.78, serum triglycerides was 190.09±122.03, HDL was 42.14±10.75, and LDL was 120.47±36.58 md/dL, cholesterol HDL ratio was 4.90±1.52 and LDL HDL ratio was 2.92±1.07 (range 0.56 to 5) in the study subjects. Thirty three (33.0%) of subjects had borderline high total cholesterol and 15 (15.0%) subjects had high total cholesterol. Twenty two (22.0%) subjects had borderline high serum triglycerides and 33 (33.0%) subjects had high serum triglycerides. Conclusion: An increasing dyslipidaemia was noticed with increasing severity of NAFLD graded using ultrasound imaging.

Introduction: Leiomyoma of urinary bladder is a rare entity and comprises 0.43% of all bladder tumors. Here we present our series of 3 cases and the related review of literature.Methods: 3 cases of bladder leiomyoma presented over a period of 16 months in Osmania Medical College and Hospital. Detailed history was taken, physical examination, routine blood, urine and radiological investigations were done. Patients were treated by Trensurethral Resection (TUR) of the mass and histopathological analysis with Immunohistochemistry was done for all cases.Results: All 3 cases were females with mean age of 31.6 years. All cases were endovesical type, mass near bladder neck and presented with obstructive symptoms. Two cases presented with acute retention of urine. Radiological investigations in all patients suggested a possibility of leiomyoma and all cases had reduced urinary flow rates. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis tin all cases. No recurrence was found at one year of follow up.Conclusion: Leiomyoma of urinary bladder is a rare disorder which frequently occurs in middle aged females. Symptoms are related to its size and location, diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological analysis. Treatment is by surgery (mainly TUR). Prognosis of the disease is excellent.
