Myxofibrosarcoma was originally described as the myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). It is uncommon in the head and neck region. We hereby report a case of myxofibrosarcoma in the sphenoid sinuses. The diagnostic and management difficulties are discussed. Close collaboration between surgeon, radiologist, histopathologist and clinical oncologist in making accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of this rare tumour are emphasized.

AbstractFibrous histiocytoma is uncommon in the head and neck region and rare in the larynx. Its behaviour is unpredictable.A case is reported in a 54-year-old male which was treated conservatively initially and which recurred several times over a seven year period. During that time the appearances of the lesion changed from those of a densely collagenous, cytologically benign tumour to those of a richly cellular and potentially malignant neoplasm. Laryngectomy was eventually undertaken.

Introduction Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma also known as Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a malignanat tumour which commonly involves upper and lower extremities and the retroperitoneum. Only a few sporadic MFHs located in the head and neck have been reported in the literature. Rarely the tumor can involve larynx. Complete excision of the tumor is the standard treatment but post-operative chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy is also recommended in selected cases. Case Report We present a rare case report of pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma also known as malignanat fibrous histiocytoma of true vocal fold in a 65 years old male patient. The patient presented to us with complaints of change in voice for past 3 months. He also reported about his smoking habits for past 35 years. On detailed examination of head and neck region no palpable lymph nodes were detected. Oral and nasal cavity examination also did not reveal any pathology. On endoscopic laryngeal assessment a polypoidal mass was seen arising from posterior half of anterior third of left true vocal fold. The vocal fold mobility was found normal.We completely excised the tumor by microlaryngeal surgery. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the excised tissue identified the tumor being a pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma which was positive for Vimentin, EMA and negative for CK, p63. Patient did not receive radiotherapy/ chemotherepy in postoperative period. Patient has been under follow-up for past 6 months and is disease free as of now. Discussion Mesenchymal malignancies of larynx are rare entities. Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma also known as malignanat fibrous histiocytoma is one of such malignancy. The treatment consists of complete excision of the lesion. The need of post-operative radiotherapy and/ chemotherapy depends on the extent of disease.

Head And Neck Region

Abstract Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic, inflammatory, benign disorder endemic to Asia that typically manifests as a triad of painless masses in the head and neck region, elevated eosinophils and serum immunoglobulin. It usually affects young men in their second and third decades of life and is rarely seen outside of the orient. This is a report of a case of KD in a young man of African descent who presented with a cheek mass. KD was not included in our differential diagnosis, and this report highlights the need to consider this entity, which can be easily missed due to its rarity in the Western world. There is no cure for the disease, and management includes medical and surgical modalities, but local recurrence or relapse is not uncommon.

Abstract Primary extranodal lymphoma is defined as a lymphoma at a solitary extranodal site, with or without involvement of the lymph nodes. The clinical and radiological features of extranodal lymphoma have been documented in recent studies. In this pictorial essay, we reviewed imaging findings of extranodal lymphoma in the head and neck region.
