Pulmonary tuberculosis is commonly seen in India. The usual presentation of the disease is in the form of consolidation involving the upper lobe or the superior segment of the lower lobe. But sometimes the disease has an atypical presentation. Here, we are describing a case report in which the pulmonary tuberculosis presented radiologically as a lung mass and the diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration cytology from the mass like opacity in the right lung.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to millions of deaths worldwide. Old age, immunocompromised state and multiple comorbidities are described as risk factors. Kyphoscoliosis (KS) is the most common spine abnormality and a risk factor of respiratory failure. Management of pneumonia in a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis is challenging to the intensivist. We report successful management of two patients with severe kyphoscoliosis who developed severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

Phyllodes tumor of the breast is an uncommon fibroepithelial neoplasm and accounts for less than 1% of the primary breast neoplasms. The median age of its occurrence is 40-50 years. It has been sub-classified histologically as benign, borderline or malignant. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and proper management are crucial for this tumor as it has a high potential for recurrence. The diagnosis of this rare tumor is based on clinical examination, radiology and cytology, but it is the histopathology which is the gold standard for it. Surgery is the treatment of choice, whereas chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormonal therapy have got limited role so far. We report a rare case of recurrent malignant phyllodes tumor in a young nulliparous female, which is not the usual age group for this tumor.
