Tuberculosis of cervix is a rare form of genital Tuberculosis. As it has no specific symptoms and signs, so a high index of suspicion of TB in females with abnormal vaginal discharge is required while screening cervical smears, especially from TB endemic areas. Non pulmonary Tuberculosis are common in this parts of the state (i.e in South Odisha, Berhampur) in different parts of the body ranging from scrotum to TB osteomyelitis. We present a case of a 40 year female presenting with a foul smelling discharge per vagina who was suspected of carcinoma cervix clinically and later diagnosed through pap smear and on histopathology to be a case of cervical TB.
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infective disease caused by fungi, Rhinosporidium seeberi. It occurs universally and is endemic in India, Sri Lanka and in South Asia. Rhinosporidiosis classically involves anterior nares, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx and soft palate and presents as a localized polypoid mass. However Rhinosporidiosis involving parotid duct is rare. The case discussed here is of a 55-year-old male who presented with a sudden onset of unilateral facial swelling associated with on and off pain during mastication. Cytological findings was inconclusive and was suggestive of retention cyst. Although rhinosporidiosis was not taken into consideration in the clinical differential diagnosis, histopathological diagnosis confirmed the case to be rhinosporidiosis.
