Mycetoma sans sinuses.
Mycetoma is a chronic suppurative infection involving the skin, subcutaneous tissue and bone. The hallmark of mycetoma is tumefaction, draining sinuses and the presence of microcolonies called grains. Sinuses develop in all patients with mycetoma within a year of the appearance of the lesion. The following case is reported as no sinuses had developed despite the presence of the lesion for 9 years, posing a diagnostic dilemma.

Oesophageal leiomyoma presenting as a mediastinal mass.
A 28 year old male presented with complaints of retrosternal pain, discomfort and dysphagia of 4 years duration. Barium swallow and oesophagoscopy were suggestive of extrinsic compression of thoracic oesophagus. CT scan of chest was suggestive of a large mediastinal lymph node mass. Thoracotomy and open biopsy showed a benign mesenchymal tumor on frozen section. A transthoracic oesophagectomy with gastric pull up and cervical oesophago-gastric anastomosis was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient discharged on the tenth postoperative day.

Laparoscopy assisted hemi-colectomy for ileo-caecal tuberculosis.
Laparoscopy assisted hemicolectomy for ileo-caecal tuberculosis is being evaluated the world over. Several procedures are performed laparoscopically, including the laparoscopic hemicolectomy, for benign and malignant diseases. Abdominal tuberculosis is one of the commonest causes of intestinal obstruction in India. We have evaluated the role of laparoscopic resection of ileocaecal tuberculosis and successfully performed the procedure in five patients. The clinical profiles of patients and operative procedure are discussed in this article with a brief review of the literature.
