Pancytopenia induced by secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: A rare, overlooked dreadful complication of .

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an unusual multifaceted clinicopathological entity that often remains misdiagnosed and can be fatal if not timely detected or treated. It can be familial or associated with different types of infections, autoimmune disorders, and malignancies. Parasitic infection-associated HLH has been rarely documented in the literature with only a handful of them being reported due to infection.

Primary Retroperitoneal Teratoma with Predominant Neurogenic Elements Masquerading as Adrenal Tumor.

Primary retroperitoneal teratomas are uncommon extragonadal nonseminomatous germ cell tumors that are composed of well differentiated parenchymal tissues which are derived from more than one of the three embryonic germ cell layers. Here we report an unusual and first of its kind, a case of primary mature cystic retroperitoneal teratoma mimicking as adrenal tumor in a 7-month-old female in which the tumor was predominantly composed of neurogenic tissue histologically which is unlike the usual pattern seen in the teratomas.

A Rare Tumor with a Very Rare Initial Presentation: Thymic Carcinoma as Bone Marrow Metastasis.

Tumors of thymus gland are rare and account for 0.2% to 1.5% of all the neoplasms.

Squamous cell carcinoma arising in mature cystic teratoma with sigmoid invasion.

Malignant transformation in a mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is rare occurring in 1.8% out of 8000 cases of MCT. The most common histological types are squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) followed by adenocarcinoma and melanoma.

Phaeohyphomycosis Due to Exophiala jeanselmei: An Emerging Pathogen in India--Case Report and Review.

We present a rare case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with a swelling on the lateral aspect of her left forearm, present since 6 months, adjacent to a 16-year-old burn scar. X-ray of elbow joint and forearm revealed the subcutaneous nature of the swelling. Giemsa and periodic acid-Schiff-stained smears and potassium hydroxide mount of fine-needle aspirate of the swelling revealed dematiaceous, branching, and septate fungal hyphae.

Single organ variant of polyarteritis nodosa in epididymis.

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that typically affects medium-sized muscular arteries, with occasional involvement of small muscular arteries. Unlike some other vasculitides (e.g.

Primary tuberculosis of the cheek: a common disease with a rare presentation.

Tuberculosis of the extra-oral region is uncommon and is rarely primary. Extra-oral involvement of the cheek in the absence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body is rare. To the best of our knowledge, we report here the first case of primary tuberculosis of the cheek in a 31-year-old male presenting as a nodular swelling of the cheek.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spleen: an extremely rare entity.

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the spleen is extremely rare. Since the first description of primary splenic MFH reported by Govoni et al in 1982, to the best of our knowledge, only twelve cases of MFH of the spleen have been reported in the literature. We herein report a rare case of primary splenic MFH in a 30-year-old Indian male who presented with abdominal pain with a history of recurrent hydatid cyst of liver and spleen.
