Diagnostic significance of ultrasonography in investigations of swellings of head and neck region – A clinico-imaging study

Secretory immunoglobulin A (SlgA) is a major component of the secretory immune system and has been demonstrated in the sera of patients with various pathologic conditions. Current studies were undertaken to quantitate secretory components (SC) in sera of patients with squamous cell carcinoma in the head and neck region by means of a sensitive double-antibody radioimmunoassay. Patients with head and neck carcinoma were found to have threefold higher levels of SC (1.54 ± 0.74 mg/ml) compared to normal controls (0.51 ± 0.22mg/ml, P < .0001). Of interest was that the sera of patients who had successfully been treated 2 to 6 months prior to the study demonstrated statistically lower levels than those of patients with untreated carcinoma or recurrent disease. SC in sera appears to be in the form of SlgA. The origin and diagnostic significance of SC are briefly discussed.

Kimura 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.

Osseous Dysplasia

Abstract Background Concomitant cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are rare in the head and neck region. In our search of the English language literature, we found only one case report describing the simultaneous occurrence of COD and ABC in the head and neck region. Here, we report a case of COD associated with ABC. Further, we performed a systematic search of the literature to identify studies on patients with COD associated with nonepithelial lined cysts of the jaws. Case presentation The patient was a 32-year-old woman who was referred from a private dental clinic because of a cystic lesion below the mandibular right first molar. She had no pain or significant systemic disease. After performing panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography, the imaging diagnosis was COD with a cystic lesion, such as ABC or solitary bone cyst. Excisional biopsy was performed, which revealed concomitant COD and ABC. Conclusion This case of ABC associated with COD provides insight for the diagnostic process of radiographically mixed lesions with cystic changes.
