Intramedullary spinal epidermoid cysts are rare, with only few cases having been reported in the literature. We are reporting a case of a 10-year-old female child who presented with symptoms of meningitis with progressive paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed an intramedullary epidermoid cyst from C6 to D5. Near-total excision of the tumor was performed. Histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cyst. The patient showed progressive recovery.
The melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is an extremely rare, fast-growing but benign lesion, commonly occurring in the maxilla of children within the first year of life. Only about 380 cases of this particular tumor have been documented in the medical literature and very few of them have been reported to have occurred in late childhood. We describe here a relatively uncommon presentation of melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy of maxilla arising from palatal gingiva of a 10 year-old female, its course and management by surgical excision with safe margins.
Adverse reactions to medications are extremely common and display a characteristic clinical morphology such as fixed drug eruption (FDE), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, urticaria, morbilliform exanthem, hypersensitivity syndrome, pigmentary changes, lichenoid, dermatitis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, photosensitivity, vasculitis etc. Here we report a case of a 60 year old male who presented to us with multiple bullous eruptions over both the hands and feet after oral ingestion of ciprofloxacin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
