Triple synchronous tumour of female genital tract: cervical squamous cell carcinoma, right ovarian dermoid cyst and left ovarian benign Brenner tumour
Synchronous tumours of two different histological type are not uncommon in the female genital tract. But triple synchronous tumours of three or more different histological types is extremely rare. We describe a case of a 48-year-old female patient who presented with cervical growth and bilateral ovarian masses. Pathological evaluation of the surgical specimen revealed synchronous cervical squamous cell carcinoma, right ovarian dermoid cyst and left ovarian benign Brenner tumour. The patient was treated...

Closure of bronchopleural fistula by a septal occluder device: a case for close collaboration between heart and lung specialists
We present the case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent right inferior lobectomy for pulmonary carcinoma and developed persistent bronchopleural fistula (BPF) that was not amenable to surgical intervention (two surgical failures). The patient presented with a persistent cough and dyspnoea, which was treated with a hybrid procedure using fluoroscopy and bronchoscopy. A 7 mm Amplatzer septal occluder device (ASOD) was successfully inserted into the BPF. Two weeks after the procedure, a small fistula...

Unmasking of left upper lobe bronchial atresia in a case of H1N1 pneumonia
We describe a case of H1N1 pneumonia with left upper lobe bronchial atresia. Although bronchial atresia as an isolated occurrence is an innocuous finding, but when it is superimposed by another major insult, it can amplify the disease effect and can have adverse implications leading to significant morbidity. This report highlights the fact that anatomical anomalies can be the cause of inordinately severe or prolonged course of acute respiratory infection in children.

Pathological fracture of non-ossifying fibroma associated with neurofibromatosis type 1
We report the management of a pathological fracture through a proximal tibial non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) in a 13-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). The fracture was minimally displaced, and the lesion had clinical features of a NOF, and therefore biopsy was not required. Operative fixation has been the preferred method of treatment for pathological fractures through NOF associated with NF1. Multiple NOFs associated with NF1 are rare but can coalesce resulting in large lesions with...

Periorbital dermatitis in patients receiving docetaxel in combination chemotherapy
Recognition of new cutaneous side effects of combination chemotherapy can help prevent unnecessary cessation or reduction of cancer therapy. Periorbital rash has not been found with docetaxel alone, but here, we report it as a result of combination chemotherapy. A series of three patients who received docetaxel in combination with other chemotherapies developed clinically near-identical, distinctive periorbital rashes. Rashes resolved by resolving underlying docetaxel-induced epiphora in conjunction...

Recurrent fetal hydrops with maternal M alloimmunisation: not a benign condition
Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is associated with red cell antibodies. Anti-M usually results in a mild haemolysis and is rarely clinically significant. There is no established consensus on management of pregnancies with anti-M. A case of recurrent HDFN with maternal M alloimmunisation was identified at a tertiary hospital in Australia. We collected the patient and neonate’s clinical and pathological data and interpreted the case with available literature. This is the first case...

Treatment of complete ankylosed elbow with total arthroplasty
We reported the case of a 38-year-old patient who in 2017 presented to our institution after post-traumatic complete ankylosis of the elbow. He complained of stiffness and pain, and the radiographs revealed complete fusion of the humeroulnar joint. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) on admission was 31, and the elbow was fused at 90° flexed position. The patient underwent semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty with Bryan-Morrey approach; after a 2.1 years follow-up, active arc of movement...

Rituximab as Rescue Therapy for Aggressive Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, debilitating disease. Almost one in ten patients with MS has a history of disease onset during childhood. Although numerous therapeutic options exist for adult MS, the available treatments for pediatric patients are still limited. One of the emerging therapies is rituximab, a monoclonal anti-CD20 chimeric antibody that can deplete the CD20+ lymphocyte populations. A 12-year-old boy presented with ataxia, paresthesias, and headache while his brain MRI showed numerous...
