Extrafollicular Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour presenting as a periapical lesion: Report of a rare entity
Abstract: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) has been known to the pathologists for the past 100 years as a benign slow growing tumour. Histologically, this tumour has a predominantly solid component and very few case reports have described the cystic nature of AOT. In the present case we review the literature of extrafollicular AOT presenting as a periapical disease and add to the literature a case of cystic extrafollicular AOT in a 17-year-old patient, initially diagnosed as a radicular cyst. Radiographically extrafollicular AOT frequently resembles other odontogenic lesions such as residual, developmental lateral peri...

Unusual cause of neck swelling in two siblings
Abstract: The neck swellings are common in children and are usually reactive lymph nodes. In developing countries the tuberculous cervical lymphadenopathy remains an important differential of a neck swelling. Cysticercosis cellulose is a parasitic infection commonly causing neural involvement. Neck is very rarely involved and is confused with lymphadenopathy and thus poses diagnostic dilemma. We have managed a child with a small neck swelling which failed to settle with antibiotics (amoxicillin and clavulanic acid) and the eventual diagnosis turned out to be subcutaneous cysticercosis cellulae. On screening of the family m...

Dual ectopic thyroid mimicking as a thyroglossal cyst – A case report and review of literature
We present the case of a 15-year-old Indian female who was clinically diagnosed with thyroglossal cyst and was posted for surgery. However, on further investigation, the condition was found out to be a dual ectopic thyroid following computed tomography and was confirmed by Tc-99m thyroid scan. The patient was put on follow up and no surgical intervention was performed. Hence midline swellings of neck should be thoroughly examined before performing surgery, keeping the possibility of ectopic thyroids in view.

Posterior circulation ischemic stroke in childhood and neurofibromatosis type 2
We report the clinical and genetic findings and review the previous literature on vasculopathy reported in association with NF2, with a focus on the symptoms presenting at disease onset. For our case patient, an unpublished germline mutation resulting in frameshift (c.876_877insT) was identified on blood screening. We report our full multidisciplinary assessment with vascular angiography, volumetric MRI and audiometry. Vasculopathy is not currently included in the criteria traditionally used for diagnosis of NF2. We suggest that vascular stroke in childhood may be considered a presenting symptom for NF2.
