Serpiginous cholesteatoma mimicking a vascular channel.

Spinal Intradural Extramedulary Capillary Hemangioma Mimicking Meningioma

Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category.

Understanding the cause and preventing its occurrence in the future is the main intention of highlighting this peculiar presentation.   Case Report: A 25-year-old woman presented with progressive hearing loss and blocked sensation in the left ear of one and a half month...

Osseous Metaplasia Mimicking Long Bone in Intramuscular Vascular Malformation

We describe a case of intramuscular vascular malformation with extensive ossification within the posterior compartment muscles of leg which grossly mimicked long bone leading to equinus deformity of foot. Phleboliths and calcifications are characteristic of vascular malformations, while massive ossification is rare. To our knowledge, no extensive ossified vascular malformation within the leg mu...

Osteoma of the Promontory Mimicking a Congenital Cholesteatoma

Osteoma of the temporal bone most commonly occurs in the external ear. Osteomas in the middle ear are not common, and only 25 relevant cases (18 papers) have been reported in the English literature. With only 5 cases reported to date, osteoma of the promontory in the middle ear is rare. This study reports a case of asymptomatic osteoma of the promontory in the middle ear mimicking a congenital ...
