A rurally living 35 year old vegetarian female presented with a swelling over the right side of her tongue of seven months duration. Histopathology of excisional biopsy revealed it to be cysticercosis. Diagnosis of cysticercosis was clinically unsuspected. The patient was referred to the general medical clinic for further treatment.  Keywords: cysticercosis; oral; rare disease; Taenia solium.

Clinically as well as radiologically it may mimic both pyogenic abscess and malignancy. One such case is being reported where a middle aged woman presented with painful, gradually increasing breast lump and was diagnosed clinically, radiologically, cytologically and even histologically as pyogenic abscess. Poor response to antibiotics raised the suspicion of malignancy for which repeat fine needle aspiration cytology was done. Well formed granulomas, necrosis and finally demonstration of acid fast bacilli established the diagnosis of tubercular abscess. No other organs were involved by tuberculosis in this case. Patient responded well to antitubercular drugs. Thus diagnostic challenge lies in the demonstration of acid fast bacilli in cases of equivocal morphology in routine cytology as well as histology. High clinical suspicion, poor response to antibiotics, suggestive radiological findings, cytology, histology and demonstration of acid fast bacilli –all contributes to the diagnosis of breast tuberculosis.  Keywords: breast; clinical presentation; diagnosis; tuberculosis.

We present a case of double gall bladder that was successfully managed laparoscopically. Preoperative ultrasonography showed one vesicle of the gall bladder had thick wall with multiple calculi while the other had normal thickness without calculus. Both the gallbladders were connected to the common bile duct with a single cystic duct.  Keywords: cholelithiasis; cholecystectomy; double gallbladder; laparoscopy.

With the reported incidence of only 0.7%, only a few cases have been published so far in literature but none from Nepal. Despite such rare occurrence, we present here two such cases which we encountered in an interval of three days; one in an unmarried teenager and another in a postmenopausal lady with fungating ulcerative growth of vulval carcinoma. Both were successfully managed.  Keywords: antilarval; genital; myiasis. Description: Case Report Wed, 01 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14356/1813 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
