Adjuvant conundrum in central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandible: case presentation and literature review.

The cornerstone modality of treatment of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) of the mandible is surgery, optimally, an en bloc resection with/without segmental or hemimandibulectomy. Notwithstanding the documentation of a survival benefit in few case reports with the addition of postoperative radiotherapy in carefully selected high-risk patients, there does not exist a clearly defined consensus regarding the role of adjuvant radiotherapy. We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with right lower jaw swelling which on imaging was found to be a multiloculated lesion causing bony expansion and cortical destruction of the mandible and was diagnosed with CMEC after radiological and histopathological criteria were met.

Retained intra- thoracic surgical pack mimicking as recurrent aspergilloma.

An intrathoracic gossypiboma is a rare condition. We are reporting a case of intrathoracicgossypiboma which was misdiagnosed as a recurrent aspergilloma. In our patient, the gossypiboma manifested as a pleural- based extra pulmonary mass which had a large contact area with the pleura and it displayed an extra pulmonary location.

Aneurysmal bone cyst of sternum.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign but locally destructive lesion of the bone characterized by the presence of spongy or multi-loculated cystic tissue filled with blood. It accounts for 2.5% of all bone tumors.

Varied presentation of schwannoma - a case study.

Schwannomas can occur anywhere in the body with unusual presentation. They are difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Fine needle aspiration biopsy does not appear to provide an accurate preoperative diagnosis.
