Infantile congenital parotid lipomatosis: a rare case report.

A case of congenital parotid lipomatosis in an infant is reported and literature is reviewed. This rare condition in children presents as gradually increasing parotid swelling, which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively as this condition is not considered in the differential diagnosis of a parotid mass. Complete excision with superficial or total parotidectomy with preservation of facial nerve is the treatment of choice.

Nonischemic intussusception in childhood.

The classical presentation of intussusception consisting of severe abdominal pain, bloody stool, and a palpable abdominal mass leads to the correct diagnosis in majority of the patients. However, an atypical presentation often results in a delayed diagnosis as is commonly seen in nonischemic intussusception. The nonischemic intussusception is a distinct clinical entity that is characterized by a long history of less severe symptoms commonly noticed in older children. The incidence of diarrhea in this group is higher than in the acute variety of intussusception. This variant of intussusception requires a high degree of suspicion for the diagnosis in atypical clinical presentation. The present study summarises our experience treating 31 such cases of nonischemic intussusception during a period of 25 years from 1966 to July 1990.

Congenital granular-cell myoblastoma.

Congenital granular-cell myoblastoma is a rare jaw tumor presenting in the neonatal period. The differentiation between congenital epulis and granular cell myoblastoma is a controversial issue amongst pathologists. It is a benign swelling in which simple excision is the treatment of choice. Here we report two cases with a brief review of literature.

Post-traumatic retroperitoneal colonic injury presenting as gluteal abscess.

We report an 8-year-old boy who sustained blunt retroperitoneal right colonic injury in a vehicular accident and presented with gluteal abscess. Surgical exploration revealed perforated posterior wall of ascending colon with surrounding retroperitoneal abscess communicating with the gluteal region. Right hemicolectomy with drainage of retroperitoneal and gluteal collections resulted in satisfactory recovery.

Sewing needle appendicitis in a child.

A six-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and vomiting five days after accidental ingestion of a sewing needle. The presence of the needle in the right iliac fossa on plain roentgenogram along with signs of appendicular inflammation on clinical and laboratory evaluation provided a clue to the diagnosis. Surgical exploration revealed inflamed appendix with the ingested needle in its lumen. The child recovered after appendectomy, and is well six months later.
