Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by a combination of renal cysts and variably associated with features including developmental anomalies of the central nervous system (typically encephalocele), hepatic ductal dysplasia, cysts, and polydactyly. It is a rare syndrome with highest incidence in Gujarati Indians and Finnish population. We report two such cases of MKS in non-Gujarati Indian which were diagnosed by neonatal autopsy.

The ''ancient'' variant of schwannomas is a rare subtype of a benign encapsulated neoplasm of nerve sheath. A review of current literature has revealed several reported sites but not in the hypopharynx. Here we report such a hypopharyngeal tumour arising in a 32 year old man, paying particular attention to the potential diagnostic difficulties.

We here report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the mucocutaneous junction at the ileostomy site with adjacent skin invasion occurring 35 years after total colectomy for ulcerative colitis. Wide excision with refashioning of the ileostomy was performed.

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the oral region is rare. Oral manifestation is present in 3–5% of cases of NHL and oral lesions are rarely the initial manifestations. We describe primary NHL, diffuse, mixed, small and large cell type in a 50-year-old female, who presented with mass lesion primarily involving the base of the tongue; initially diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology and later confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Pertinent literature is being reviewed.
