    A giant upper eyelid ossifying pilomatrixoma.
    (2008-11-01) Rizvi, Syed Ar; Naim, Mohammad; Alam, Mohammad S
    Pilomatrixoma of the eyelid is extremely rare in middle age and rarely develops into a large tumor. A 45-year-old female developed a painless, progressive swelling (3.0 cm x 2.0 cm) of the left upper eyelid over a period of two years. Overlying skin was normal in color and texture. A differential diagnosis of dermoid, epidermoid cyst, chalazion and basal cell carcinoma was made. An excisional biopsy was performed. A diagnosis of pilomatrixoma was made on histopathological features (dystrophic calcification of matrix with keratin and foreign body granulomatous reaction, basaloid cells and shadow cells/ghost cells). It also comprises ossification apart from the usual calcification. This is a report of an unusually large ossifying pilomatrixoma in left upper eyelid of a middle-aged woman. The patient should be followed up at regular intervals to rule out any recurrence or malignant transformation.

    A Rare Case of Primary Peritoneal Psammocarcinoma Presenting as Acute Intestinal Obstruction and Ascites
    (Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine & Sciences, 2016-01) Siddiqui, Bushra; Faridi, Shahbaz Habib; Naim, Mohammad; Nasreen, Tausia; Hushain, Danish; Senthil, P
    We report a rare case of primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma (PPP) in a 60year old female patient who presented to surgical emergency with complaints of inability to pass feces and flatus for last 3 days along with pain and distension of abdomen. On clinical examination there were features of acute intestinal obstruction. Contrast CT of abdomen was suggestive of intestinal obstruction along with a stricture at the recto-sigmoid junction. On exploration there was a growth compressing the recto-sigmoid junction from the serosal surface. Anterior resection of the recto-sigmoid was done with negative gross margins. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen led to a diagnosis of primary peritoneal psammocarcinoma because of a solitary peritoneal lesion having abundant psammoma body formation and normal ovaries visualized on radiology and per-operatively. The diagnosis was further confirmed by histochemical tests and immunohistochemistry along with normal CA-125 levels in the patient.
