Schistosomal epididymitis is a very rare condition. Worldwide, very few cases have been reported, especially in India. Here is a case of schistosomal epididymitis that was found on histopathological examination of an epididymal cyst in a 32-year-old man in India. Patient presented with concerns of a right testicular swelling. Ultrasonography of scrotum showed an ill-defined echogenic lesion just above the head of right epididymis. Excision of epididymal cyst was performed. Histopathological examination showed eggs of schistosoma surrounded by abundant inflammatory infiltrate. Post-operatively, the patient was treated with single dose of praziquantel.
Bronchogenic cyst usually presents along the tracheobronchial tree. Rarely, it is found inside peritoneal cavity. Here is a case of 30-year-old man who presented with concerns of abdominal pain. On evaluation, contrast-enhanced CT scan showed hypodense cystic lesion in epigastric region related to right crus of diaphragm. The patient underwent laparoscopic marsupialization/deroofing of cyst. Histopathological examination of resected specimen showed respiratory epithelium. Postoperative period was uneventful.
Lymphangiomas are rare benign, hamartomatous, congenital malformations of the lymphatic system involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues of head, neck and oral cavity. Occasional adult onset cases occur, this condition is thought to be a developmental malformation of lymph vessels which have poor communication with normal lymph system. Most of these malformations are present at birth or appear within two years of life. 75 % of cases occur in head and neck area, submandibular and parotid being the most affected parts. Lymphangioma arising in nasopharynx and in an adult has not been reported in english literature. This prompted us to report the very first case of Lymphangioma Nasopharynx.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
