Case ReportsUnusual Sites of Leiomyosarcoma: A Study of 3 Interesting Cases.
Leiomyosarcoma malignant tumours arise from the smooth muscle cells. They are rapidly growing tumours with aggressive behaviour and poor prognosis. Although relatively rare, they pose a diagnostic challenge as they comprise a large spectrum of diagnostic entities. ⋯ Immunohistochemistry acts as an adjunct to arrive at a definite diagnosis and hence, proves to be the most important ancillary technique in the diagnosis of such tumours. Though these tumours arise most commonly from the uterine smooth muscle, but rarely encountered at unusual sites posing diagnostic difficulties. Key Words: Leiomyosarcoma, Retroperitoneal, Pulmonary, Post-burn scar.

Case ReportsMucormycosis of Maxilla: An Enigma to the Clinician.
Mucormycosis is an acute opportunistic infection caused by a saprophytic fungus found in the soil, decaying fruits, and vegetables. It is a rapidly progressing fungal infection mainly seen in nose and its surrounding sinuses due to inhalation of the spores of fungus from the contaminated areas. If not diagnosed and treated early, it can be life-threatening. ⋯ The diagnosis of mucormycosis was made through clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic findings. An early diagnosis and treatment with antifungal drugs like amphotericin B and surgical resection can improve the prognosis. Key Words: Mucormycosis, Maxilla, Zygomatic bone, Antifungal.
