Mesenteric neurofibromatosis.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a group of heterogeneous multisystemic neurocutaneous disorders that may affect any organ in the body and clinical presentation depends on the body system involved. We present a case of a middle-aged male who presented with a relatively fast growing abdominal mass in the hypogastric and right inguinal area, associated with diarrhea. At laparotomy, a large, solid mass was found in the lower mesentery with loops of small intestine adherent to it. Mass was removed in total along with the loops of intestine and was found to be neurofibroma of mesentery on histopathology.

Mucormycosis: a devastating fungal infection in diabetics.

Mucormycosis is a highly invasive, devastating and usually fatal fungal infection of the sinuses, brain, or lungs that occurs primarily in people with immune disorders. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, a high mortality still exists. We present a middle aged diabetic male with this serious fungal infection involving nose, paranasal area and adjacent periorbital regions with a high risk of progressing further towards the dura mater. He was promptly diagnosed and managed with serial surgical debridements with systemic antifungals and was later fitted with a nasal prosthesis.

Neurofibromatosis and Caroli's disease: an extremely rare association.

Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1) is a rare genetic disorder with an extremely variable phenotype. A broad spectrum of associations have also been reported with it. We present a florid case of NF, presenting with unusual symptoms, which was found to have an associated Caroli's disease, a rare congenital disorder of the intrahepatic bile ducts. The case is reported along with a brief review of both the disorders.
