Carbamazepine induced DRESS syndrome.

We present here an 18-yr-old male who presented with intermittent fever of moderate grade and of 15 days duration, followed by maculopapular erythematous rashes over upper and lower extremities, face, and trunk developing over 10-12 days. He was suffering from recurrent seizures since last 3 months for which he was started on carbamazepine 200mg twice daily for the past 6 weeks. He was febrile on admission. Generalized lymphadenopathy with discreet, non-matted, firm and tender inguinal lymph nodes. Patch test with 1% and 5% solution of carbamazepine was strongly positive.

Painless angioleiomyoma: a case report with review of literature.

A 55 year old male, who presented with a painless swelling of six months duration on his thigh, was clinically diagnosed to have a benign soft tissue neoplasm. Histological examination of the excision biopsy specimen revealed a benign tumour of the vascular smooth muscle, which was diagnosed as angioleiomyoma. Angioleiomyomas are painful lesions that can occur anywhere in the body. We present this case for its atypical clinical presentation and discuss its histologic features with a review of literature.

A case report of placental teratoma: an unusual primary non-trophoblastic tumor of placenta.

Placental teratoma, with less than 20 cases reported in the world literature is a rare primary nontrophoblastic tumour. The exact histogenesis is still controversial, with some regarding it as a true neoplasm, while others consider it as an extreme form of fetus amorphous. Whatever its histogenesis, it is invariably benign and causes no adverse effects on the fetus or the outcome of the gestation. This case is being presented for its rarity, with a review of literature.
