Case ReportsA Young Man with a Rare Case of Adrenal Incidentaloma.
Adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) are adrenal masses discovered as incidental finding, often on imaging studies, unrelated to adrenal disorders. Sometimes, they are discovered as part of work-up for adrenal pathology. AIs are mostly nonfunctional (hormonally silent), but can also be functional (hormonally active). ⋯ This is one of the rare cases of adrenal incidentaloma, often an autopsy finding. Pheochromocytoma needs to be investigated in all cases of AIs. Key Words: Adrenal incidentaloma, Pheochromocytoma, Urinary tract infection.

Case ReportsProsthetic Rehabilitation of Nasal Septal Defect with Magnet Retained Nasal Septal Prosthesis.
Nasal septal defects may present with no clinical symptoms to dryness, nasal obstruction, pain, mucosal injury, crusting, epistaxis, rhinorrhea, nasal twang in speech, hyposmia, and breathing difficulties. Prosthetic rehabilitation of these defects may lead to improvement in these conditions. This case report describes the construction of a custom-made two-piece, magnet-retained nasal prosthesis fabricated in heat-cured acrylic resin. ⋯ Patient's symptoms were relieved, while maintaining the nasal patency. Such inexpensive method with a tissue-friendly material may prove beneficial for rehabilitation of larger nasal septal defects. Key Words: Nasal septal defects, Rehabilitation, Acrylic resin, Prosthesis.
