Focal nodular hyperplasia is a benign liver tumour that is rare in children. We report the second case of a child with sickle cell disease presenting with symptomatic focal nodular hyperplasia. The possible pathogenesis of focal nodular hyperplasia and the association with sickle cell disease are discussed.

Nodular fasciitis is a rare and benign inflammatory condition; however, it can be misdiagnosed as a malignant lesion. We report a unique case of nodular fasciitis arising from the maxillary sinus in a 2-year-old child. Our English literature review (PubMed search), revealed a total of 3 cases published as nodular fasciitis in the para-nasal sinuses, each with a different management approach.

Oral Kaposi's sarcoma (OKS) from Tanzanian patients (78) at Muhimbili National Hospital/Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences corresponding to approximately 10% of KS registered during 1990-2005, were diagnosed (ELISA) as HIV-infected (OAKS) (74/78) and endemic KS (4/78). Females were 69.2% (54/78) with median age 31 and males 30.8% (24/78) with median age 38. More males (50%) had sys...

We investigated the crystal and structural behavior of Cr-bearing spinels from Archean chromitites Sittampundi (India), which had been subjected to very high-grade metamorphism. The data show that their oxygen positional parameters are among highest ever recorded for with similar Cr# Mg# those found other occurrences. general agreement between electron microprobe Mössbauer indicates analyzed st...

Nodular fasciitis is a benign fibroblastic proliferate lesion that is thought to be a response of tissue to injury. It usually presents as a rapidly growing subcutaneous mass. Upper extremities are most commonly affected, followed by the head and neck region. The clinical behaviour and histological presentation mimic those of malignant tumours, thus the lesion is easily misdiagnosed. The author...
