Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EH) is a rare malignant vascular tumour occurring mainly in the liver and lungs, with bones being a rare site and primarily seen in the adult population. This case presents a male patient in his 40s who presented to the outpatient department with a chief issue of a painless swelling over the inguinal region for 4 months, gradually increasing in size, along with a history of a gradually enlarging, painless mass on his left knee over the past 5 years. Despite occasional discomfort during physical activities, the mass exhibited no associated trauma, fever, weight loss or systemic symptoms.

Ovarian lymphangiomas are rare benign neoplasms characterized by the proliferation of lymphatic vessels within the ovarian tissue. While lymphangiomas can manifest in various anatomical locations, their occurrence within the ovaries is exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for clinicians. The aetiology of ovarian lymphangiomas remains elusive, with theories suggesting congenital malformations, lymphatic obstruction, or acquired lymphatic proliferation as potential contributing factors.

Introduction: Ramp lesions, often associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, exhibit a varied incidence rate of 9-42%, increasing with delayed ACL reconstruction. These lesions, resulting from abnormal tibial movements and semimembranosus muscle contraction, are challenging to diagnose due to their hidden nature in standard magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy procedures.

Case Report: This report examines the case of a ramp lesion in the context of a multi-ligament injured knee of a 34-year-old male.

Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare neurocutaneous and craniofacial disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial wasting and atrophy that predominantly affects children and young adults, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 700,000 individuals. Despite its rarity, PRS poses significant challenges for patients, their families, and healthcare providers due to its unpredictable course and potential functional and aesthetic impairments. The main aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of PRS, encompassing its clinical features, pathogenesis, and management techniques.

Meningiomas, originating from the meninges encasing the brain and spinal cord, are the most prevalent primary intracranial tumors, constituting around 40% of all such tumors. These tumors primarily manifest within the dura mater, the outermost meningeal layer, and occasionally in locations such as the ventricular system. However, the concurrent presence of dural and intraventricular meningiomas is exceedingly rare.
