Reversible posterior leukonecephalopathy syndrome RPLS), a neurologie disorder associated with evidence of posterior cerebral edema on neuroimaging studies, has been described in both adults and children. Conditions predisposing to RPLS include malignant hypertension, renal dysfunction, toxemia of pregnancy, interferon therapy, and the use of immunosuppressive agents. When associated with acute hypertension, RPLS typically occurs concurrently with the fulminant clinical syndrome of hypertensive encephalopathy We describe occipital lobe seizures, in the setting of only moderate elevations of blood pressure, as the major clinical manifestation of RPLS.

Benign chondroblastoma of bone is a relatively rare primary bone tumor which develops in the 2nd to 3rd decade involving the epiphysis of the long bone. The over-all reported cases of the world have been lesser than 400 after determining the entity as benign chondroblastoma in 1942 by Jaffe and Lichtenstein. A case of the benign chondroblastoma with involvement of the greater trochanter of the femur of a 19 years old boy is presented. The conclusive diagaosis was led by histological examination. Considerable new bone formation and bony spicules which might be derived from previous multiple puncture made us to confuse with osteogenic sarcoma. The specimen was composed of reddish brown hemorrhagic and fragile tissue with scattered either yellowish gritty calcified material or bluish translucent ones. The postoperative course has been smooth and there has been no evidence of recurrence for postoperative 15 months.

A primary skin adenoid cystic carcinoma first described by Boggio in 1975, is one of the rarest type of eccrine sweat gland carcinoma. Histologically, a tumor with typical morphologic features closely resembles adenoid cystic carcinoma was found in other tissues but in the skin must be distinguished from aggressive basal cell carcinoma. The natural history of this tumor is not yet fully determined but suggests a long indolent and progressive course. We report a case of a 77-year-old male with a small skin nodule in the abdomen.
