A rare, malignant germ cell tumor that occur in the midline of the body as a result of abnormal germ cell migration during embryogenesis. Clinical manifestations are variable and depend on the location and size of the tumor. Central nervous system tumor might present with headache, visual disturbances, endocrine abnormalities, and signs of increased intracranial pressure. A mediastinal tumor commonly presents with chest pain, dyspnea, cough and fever. Abdominal mass with or without pain, backache and weight loss are common clinical presentations in retroperitoneal tumor. |

Extraneural perineurioma is a rare tumor of cranial and spinal nerves arising from peripheral nerve sheet and composed exclusively or predominantly of cells showing perineurial differentiation. It presents as a well-circumscribed, rarely encapsulated mass, not associated with a recognizable nerve, most commonly arising in the dermis and subcutis of the extremities or trunk, or, rarely, in deep soft tissue or skin (e.g., in the stomach, kidney, pancreas, maxillary sinus, mandible, bronchial tree and the face). The clinical presentation depends on the localization. |

Deviation is usually bilateral and commonly involves the fifth finger. Affected digits present trapezoidal or delta-shaped phalanges on imaging. |

Familial isolated congenital asplenia is a rare, non-syndromic, potentially life-threatening visceral malformation characterised by the absence of normal spleen function, resulting in a primary immunodeficiency. Typically, the condition manifests with severe, recurrent, overwhelming infections (especially pneumococcal sepsis) in otherwise apparently healthy infants. In adults with no history of severe sepsis in infancy, thrombocytosis may be the presenting sign. Howell-Jolly bodies on blood smears and an absent spleen on abdominal ultrasound examination are highly suggestive associated findings. |

A rare group of genetic, cardiac rhythm diseases with characteristics of a prolongation of the QT interval at basal electrocardiography (ECG) and by a high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. The two cardinal manifestations are syncopal episodes, which may lead to cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death, and electrocardiographic abnormalities: prolongation of the QT interval and T wave abnormalities. Inheritance may be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive and depends on the genes involved. |
