Title: Oral Cancer Care and Oromaxillofacial Surgery Authors: Yadav, S K Abstract: Abstract Oral cancers are one of the most common cancers affecting people of Nepal and it the sixth most common cancer in the world. Unlike other cancers the early detection of the disease is possible through a routine examination of the oral cavity which is usually done by a dental practitioner. Through a series of phases like prevention, screening, early intervention, diagnosis and staging, management with tumor ablative surgeries, and rehabilitation to restore the function and esthetic part for better clinical outcome, the role of the specialty of dentistry is immensified. From a patient perspective, having a direct referral line within the dental community between dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons will contribute to cost reduction and improvement in outcomes. Trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon especially in the head and neck oncology plays a vital role in exploring functional multidisciplinary efforts to enhance patient care, academic excellence and research initiatives and evaluate for gaps in patient care. This article highlights the role of such professionals in a multidisciplinary team approach for the proper management of head and neck cancers which have significantly and logically additive effect for a better outcome.

Title: Bilateral Ovarian Teratoma: One Parasitic Twisted In-situ and Another Parasitic at the Hepato Renal Space Authors: Chitrakar, N S; Suwal, S; Neupane, S Abstract: Abstract Parasitic ovarian dermoid cysts are very rare. We report a rare case of bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts with parasitic teratoma at the hepato renal space measuring 11x11x6 cm while the other was twisted measuring 10x6x5 cm. Right ovary and tube were absent. The mass found at the hepato renal space was surrounded by and adherent to the omentum with viable tubal fimbria like structure at upper surface. Histopathologically both masses were confirmed as mature ovarian teratoma. The etiology of parasitic teratoma would be due to torsion followed by autoamputation and reimplantation of the right ovarian dermoid cyst. Â Keywords: Â Ovarian dermoid cyst; parasitic teratoma; torsion. Description: Case Study

Title: Spectacles in Stomach: A Case of Successful Endoscopic Removal Authors: Khan, K; Siddique, K; Anwar, S; Shiwani, M H Abstract: Abstract Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common reason for emergency visit. The ingested objects include batteries, needles,dentures, coins, sharps etc. Radiolucency and the length of the objects are important factors that affect their management. Long objects over 10 cm are less likely to pass through the duodenal curve. Sharp object that is not retrieved at the earliest may penetrate the wall and cause complications. We present here a challenging case of a middle aged psychiatric patient who swallowed long and sharp arms of her spectacles that were successfully retrieved endoscopically. Keywords: foreign body; spectacles; stomach. Description: Case Study

Title: Diagnostic Disparity in Solitary Cysticercosis of the Forearm in a Child Authors: Naidu, R; Sankar, A; Shaila, M S; Shivananda, I; Desai, R Abstract: Abstract Solitary cysticercosis of muscle is a rare disease causing diagnostic dilemma. Cysticercosis commonly affects the central nervous system and other tissues by dissemination imposing a serious health problem. We report this rare presentation of solitary cysticercosis of flexor digitorum superficialis in a five year old otherwise healthy child. The fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathological diagnosis were inconclusive but ultrasonography of the muscle clinched the diagnosis.
