Peritoneal Keratin Granuloma Masquerading as Disseminated Carcinoma.

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.

Bilateral mycotic cerebral abscess due to aspergillosis--a case report.

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.

Cytological diagnosis of rhinosporidiosis with skeletal involvement--a case report.

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 of vagina--two case reports.

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.
