    Malignant melanoma is a rare malignancy of the external auditory canal. The vast majority of them occur in the areas of the body that are exposed to the sun. Early histological examination may possibly favor better prognosis. We report a case of a 38-year-old female who presented with a small mass in right ear canal, earache and minimum discharge since 4 months. Initially scraping was done in the ENT clinic. Subsequently she had a wide excision done by the end aural approach at a different hospital. A year later the patient presented with a swelling involving the ear canal which extended to the helix and supratemporal region with the histology report as malignant melanoma. A literature review of the disease, radiological findings, immunohistochemical features and treatment options are discussed.

    Urethral catheterisation is a common and safe procedure performed routinely. The small size of the urethra in a child necessitates the use of an infant feeding tube (Size 5 to 8 F) for catheterisation. Knotting within the bladder is a rare complication with significant morbidity often necessitating surgical or endoscopic removal. Insertion of an excessive length of tube contributes to coiling and knotting. We report an instance of knotting of an infant feeding tube in the proximal penile urethra of a 4 year-old male child requiring urethrotomy to remove it. Awareness of the risk and proper technique can reduce this complication.
