It is caused by the ingestion of food contaminated with Ascaris eggs from faeces and is more common in places with poor sanitation. Almost 25% of the world population is infested by Ascaris lumbricoides. Although ascariasis is a chronic disease, it can present as acute abdomen rarely. The wandering nature of As...

Heterotopic Pancreas- an Unusual Cause of Ileoileal Intussusception: a Case Report

Heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon developmental anomaly of upper gastrointestinal tract. Heterotopic pancreas tissue is very rarely found in ileum. Intussusception in children is usually idiopathic, but definitive aetiology can be established in 90% of adult cases. We are reporting a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting as a lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception in a 1year 3month year...

Intraosseous intraneural perineurioma: report of a case with morphological, immunohistochemical and FISH study.

We report a case of an intramandibular intraneural perineurioma developed in the left dentary nerve. This tumour is rare and shows a typical histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural appearance: concentric whorls of perineurial cells EMA+ and PS100- around nerve fibers. This tumour must be distinguished from extraneural or soft tissue perineurioma, also composed of perineurial cells...
