Vascular tumors of the breast are uncommon. Perilobular hemangiomas, the commonest histologic subtype of breast hemangiomas, constitute majority of microscopic, vascular mammary tumors. Macroscopic hemangiomas and vascular hamartomas of the breast are distinctly rare. We describe a giant, vascular hamartoma of the right breast in a five year old girl and discuss pertinent literature.
Metastases is an uncommon cause of tumors in the sinonasal region. We report a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma which metastasized to the nasal cavity.
An unusual astrocytoma occurring in different anatomical compartments of the brain is reported. The child was operated upon for a cerebellar astrocytoma when he was eight-and-half years old. Seven years later, he was operated for a cerebral astrocytoma. The growth of the similar tumours at these two sites is analysed and literature on the subject is reviewed. The concept of multicentricity is emphasized.
Though rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst is not uncommon, fistulization into the gut following rupture is rare. We report a case in whom a hepatic hydatid cyst ruptured into the first part of the duodenum.
