BACKGROUND: Inflammatory pseudo tumor, a rare non-neoplastic lesion, commonly presents as slow growing solid lesion in the lung, but many extra-pulmonary locations have been described. CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A 4-year-old girl who presented with respiratory distress due to massive pleural effusion. Computed tomography revealed large hypodense non-enhancing lesion in the left hemi thorax. Surgical exploration revealed large semisolid pleural collection filled with gelatinous material with normal underlying lung. OUTCOME: Histopathology revealed spindle shaped cells with abundant myxoid stroma. Child recovered after surgery and was asymptomatic at 5 years follow-up. MESSAGE: Primary pleural inflammatory pseudotumor may be a rare cause of pleural effusion in a child.

Clitoral Choristoma: A Rare Case Report.

Clitoral hypertrophy is usually seen as a congenital malformation, specifically during the stages of hormonal expressions in the disorders of sexual development. Acquired clitoral hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition. Clitoris can be the site of neoplastic lesions. Clitoral choristoma has not been reported so far in the literature.
