Multicompartmental Epidermoid Cyst Causing Chronic Parotid Gland and Masticator Space Muscle Atrophy.

Epidermoid cysts are rare benign intracranial tumors of congenital origin. They are slow-growing and are seen to insinuate between brain structures. These are commonly located in cerebello-pontine angle and parasellar regions.

A rare case of hemilingual abscess in a 17-year-old girl: the ease of ultrasound and the advantage of MRI.

Abscess of the tongue is rare owing to the rich vascularity and muscularity of the tongue and anti-infective properties of saliva. An abscess limited only to one half of the tongue is even more rare. We report a case of hemilingual abscess in a 17-year-old girl who presented with high-grade fever and a swollen and immobile tongue.

Secondary abdominal pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. Following fertilization, the blastocyst escapes from the uterine cavity and implants in the peritoneal cavity. The early antenatal diagnosis and identification of the site and extent of placental implantation in an abdominal pregnancy are important to prepare for the eventual surgery.
