RESUMO
Peritoneal keratin granuloma is a rare lesion included under granulomatous lesions of the peritoneum. It can be of infectious and non-infectious etiology. The lesion presents as a large intra-abdominal necrotic mass often misinterpreted clinically as a disseminated carcinoma. We report a case of peritoneal keratin granuloma in a 50-year-old male following peritonitis. Histomorphology revealed laminated keratin deposits with giant cell reaction. Follow-up data of this granuloma suggests that it has no prognostic significance.
RESUMO
Aspergillosis of central nervous system is an uncommon infection mainly occurring in immunocompromised patient. It may be present in several forms: abscess, meningitis, mycotic aneurysm, infarction and in tumoral form. Here we report a case of cerebral aspergillosis presenting as bilateral frontal lobe abscess without evidence of any underlying systemic disorder or extracranial disease.

A young Hindu male presented with painful swelling of left lower thigh for 6 months. The provisional diagnosis both clinically and radiologically was osteosarcoma. FNAC and biopsy proved the lesion to be a case of rhinosporidiosis. The present case is reported due to rare incidence of skeletal rhinosporidiosis.

Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma, previously considered a type of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, has clinicopathological features distinctive enough to warrant its classification as a separate entity. It almost always occurs in children under 5 years of age. Two cases of botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma are reported here because of their relative rarity.
