Osteofibrous dysplasia–an unusual presentation of rare entity

Abstract BackgroundIsolated axillary SCC nodal metastasis from a head and neck primary is a highly unusual presentation. Different possibilities include that of a skipped nodal metastasis bypassing the cervical region, or an axillary SCC of a separate unknown primary (SCCUP), or even malignant transformation of a preexisting intranodal squamous cyst. To date, there has been no report of isolated SCC nodal metastases from a scalp primary and even rarer, a case of malignant transformation of an intranodal squamous cyst. Case presentationWe present a successful management of a synchronous axillary nodal SCC and scalp SCC through curative surgery in a 73-year-old gentleman with extensive psoriasis and a history of immunosuppression from methotrexate use.ConclusionWe reviewed the literature of this rare entity of an axillary SCCUP, discussed its optimal investigations and management, and the three distinct possible explanations for this unusual presentation.

Bony Tissue

Osseous lesions of the tongue, also referred to as osseous choristomas, are benign growths of bony tissue. These lesions are not true neoplasms but rather represent growth of normal tissue at an abnormal location. Clinically, they appear as exophytic masses of the tongue, and they are treated by surgical excision. Lingual osseous choristomas are rare entities, with only 71 reported cases in the literature. We present the case of a lingual osseous choristoma of the tongue base in a 21-year-old female. Of the cases of lingual osseous choristoma reported in the literature, ours is only the fifth case to involve this location.
