Myoepithelial carcinoma, also known as malignant myoepithelioma, is mainly encountered in the salivary glands and, at a lower incidence, in the sweat glands (skin), breast, soft tissue, bone and very rarely in the lung. Pulmonary myoepithelial carcinoma was first described by Higashiyama et al. in 1998, and to the best of our knowledge, only 15 cases have been reported in the English literature so far....

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma, characterized by anaplastic large cells that are usually ALK negative but have high expression of CD30 and presents as a solitary or grouped nodules. It is the second most common type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma, usually skin-limited disease and most frequently affects the trunk, face, and extremities. ...

Adrenal myelolipomas are rare benign tumours of the adrenal gland which are usually asymptomatic in nature. The reported incidence of this tumour is 0.08 to 0.2% from all primary tumours of the adrenal glands. With the advent of imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging almost 15%...

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), also known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare congenital anomaly of lung involving the fetal tracheobronchial tree. It is a rare cause of respiratory distress in neonates. The reported incidence of this entity is 1 in 11,000 to 1 in 35,000....

Rhinosporidiosis is a rare and chronic infestation caused by fungus Rhinosporidium seeberi, seen in India and Sri Lanka and is hyperendemic in southern parts of Tamil Nadu. It predominantly affects mucus membrane of nose and nasopharynx causing polypoidal growth....

In the past decades, the prevalence of overweight and obesity have increased substantially worldwide, especially in South-East Asia countries including Thailand. Recent data from prospective studies have indicated that overweight and obesity in children and adolescents are predictors of adult obesity....

Acute myocardial infarction in young patients with non-obstructive coronary arteries is rare and has been rarely reported in the literature. We report herein a case of an obese young man presented to the emergency department with typical chest pain, ischaemic ECG changes, and elevated cardiac troponin T concentrations...

Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac neoplasm occurring in all age groups. After resection, familial Cardiac myxoma is more likely to recur than that arises in sporadic fashion. In this report, we describe an adolescent patient experiencing multiple recurrences of cardiac myxomas and underwent heart transplant. This is the first report of such a case at our institution....

Hematidrosis, or bloody sweat, is a rare phenomenon with enigmatic pathogenesis. We present our second case of hematidrosis in a 13-year-old Thai girl that had bloody sweat frequently observed on her back, hands, legs and feet. Skin biopsy revealed areas of hemorrhage in the panniculus and blood-filled spaces in the dermis....
