Rare clinical entity of cystic meningioma in an elderly patient: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Meningiomas, the most prevalent extra-axial neoplasm, are frequent tumors of the central nervous system that make up around 15 % of all intracranial malignancies. Although atypical and malignant meningiomas do exist, benign meningiomas make up the majority of cases. On both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, a well-circumscribed, homogeneously enhancing, extra-axial mass is a typical imaging feature.

Identification of founder and novel mutations that cause congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) in palestinian patients.

Background: Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized primarily by an inability to perceive physical pain from birth, resulting in the accumulation of bruising, inflammation, and fractures that affect patient's life expectancy. CIP has different forms including CIP and CIPA. CIP with Anhidrosis (CIPA) is the most common type of CIP, which is caused mainly by mutations in NTRK1 and NGF genes, and is characterized by mental retardation and the inability to sweat (Anhidrosis).

Primary tracheal carcinoid tumor misdiagnosed as asthma: a rare case report.

Unlabelled: About 2% of all lung malignancies are pulmonary carcinoid tumors, a family of neuroendocrine tumors. Rarely does a typical tracheal carcinoid of the trachea manifest as an endoluminal polypoidal tumor.

Case Presentation: The author describe a 61-year-old nonsmoker who complained of growing nonexertional shortness of breath 5 years ago.

Rare case of horseshoe lung associated with scimitar syndrome in Palestine: a case report.

Unlabelled: The caudal and basal parts of the lungs are fused together in a rare congenital bronchopulmonary anomaly known as horseshoe lung. The majority of horseshoe lung cases are associated with scimitar syndrome. Most patients present with nonspecific symptoms.
