Analyzed the results of treatment of 584 patients operated on for soft tissue tumors of the head and neck with the elimination of the defect formed by directly comparing the edges of wounds by primary suture. Taking into account the level of the wound by M.I. Kuzin et al. (1977), the dynamics of clinical and laboratory results, morphological, biological research, local thermometry and vulnotenziometry. Statistical significance was estimated using the Student's t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, and criteria χ2 and Fisher with certainty changes in p < 0.05. Found that in the majority of patients kept the wound heals biologically programmed tissue reactions. At the same time, high bacterial contamination of integumentary tissues in the area of operations, especially against the background of the malignant tumor was a risk factor for the development of wound complications in 18 % of patients. The observed the oncological impact was characterized by the five-year survival at 90.6 ± 1.9 %. The 4.5 ± 1.9 % of patients had a direct link to death from malignant tumor.

Rhabdomyosarcoma comprises about half of the soft tissue tumors. Approximately 40% of the alveolar subtype occur in the head and neck region. Patients present with unilateral nasal mass with/without lymphadenopathy and with/without orbital manifestations. Diagnosis is aided radiologically by CT scan, MRI along with biopsy and is confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Treatment involves surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of these. In spite of treatments, however, the outcome is poor. This is a case report of 14-year-old male who presented with unilateral nasal mass with proptosis of right eye who was eventually diagnosed as a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of solid variant.

Schwannoma is a tumor of schwann cell proliferation which presents as a solitary, soft, skin-colored dermal or subcutaneous papulo-nodule most commonly on the flexor part of extremities and head and neck areas. Here, we report a case of nail unit schwannoma, which is a rare tumor of the nail apparatus with only 4 other prior reports in the literature. This case illustrates the importance of including subungual schwannoma in the clinical differential diagnosis of subungual soft tissue tumors. We include a literature review which catalogs and summarizes the current knowledge regarding this unusual nail unit neoplasm.
