AbstractA case of renal carcinoma metastatic to the left parotid gland is presented. A 60-year-old male patient developed a painful mass in his left parotid region one and a half years after he had undergone a left nephrectomy operation for renal carcinoma. The mass was excised surgically. The histopathological diagnosis was metastatic renal carcinoma. From a review of the literature, it is apparent that unlike most of the cases reported, this one had a very aggressive nature. The clinical presentation of the metastasis, and the factors determining the prognosis in cases of metastatic renal carcinoma to the head and neck are discussed.

Patient Setup

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) results from errors in vascular development during embryogenesis; absent capillary beds lead to shunting directly from the arterial to venous circulation. Although it is common in the head and neck region, AVMs located in the parotid gland are quite rare. Here, we report two cases of arteriovenous malformation of the parotid gland that presented to our out-patient setup with swelling in the parotid region and were diagnosed as arteriovenous malformation on histopathological study after surgical resection.

Myoepithelioma is a rare salivary gland neoplasm. They most commonly affect the major and minor salivary glands with the parotid gland being the most common, approximately 40%. Only 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms are myoepitheliomas. Myoepithelioma is usually a benign tumor arising from neoplastic myoepithelial or basket cells which are found between the basement membrane and the basal plasma membrane of acinar cells. They also contain multiple cellular elements. We present a case of a 73-year-old female with myoepithelioma of the parotid gland, an extremely rare neoplasm. There have been approximately 42 cases reported through 1985 and fewer than 100 cases through 1993. We will discuss the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of such neoplasms.

Cancer Metastases

AbstractMetastases to the parotid region are relatively infrequent and originate primarily from head and neck cancer. Metastases of an infraclavicular origin are uncommon. Moreover, metastasis from the carcinoma of urinary bladder (CUB) to any part of the head and neck, including parotid gland, is rare. Surgery and chemotherapy are usually offered. We report a case of solitary parotid metastasis from CUB, who was successfully treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using CyberKnife. SBRT is a safe alternative in cases unwilling/unfit for surgery.

AbstractHyperammonemic encephalopathy is an uncommon, potentially lethal adverse effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Being one of the most common and versatile chemotherapy agents, it is important to understand this important side effect of 5FU. There is paucity of data in this subject. Here, we report a case of 5FU-induced encephalopathy in a patient on induction chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. In this case report, the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of 5FU-induced encephalopathy is reported.

Mesenchymal Chondrosarcomas

Mesenchymal Chondrosarcomas of the parotid are extremely rare tumours. They are broadly classified under extra skeletal form of mesenchymal chondrosarcomas and account for less than 1% of all sarcomas. It is characterized by a multinodular architecture, abundant myxoid matrix, and malignant chondroblast like cells arranged in cords. The tumor is an entity from chondrosarcomas of bones, commonly found in the soft tissues of the lower extremities at 80%. There are very limited reports of this tumor in the head and neck, especially in the parotid gland. We report a rare case of a parotid mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in a 55 years old man and discuss the pathogenesis, clinical presentation and management of such a rare tumour Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2020; 26(2): 158-160

Objective To describe the clinical presentation and obstetrical outcomes of nonthyroid head and neck cancers (HNCs), and to review literature on this rare condition in pregnancy. Study Design Pregnant women with nonthyroid HNC were identified retrospectively from 1990 to 2017. Maternal, neonatal, pregnancy, and demographic data were collected. A review of the literature from January 1980 to May 2018 was performed. Results Over the 27-year time period, 16 women with history of nonthyroid HNC were identified (9 diagnosed during and 7 diagnosed before current pregnancy). The cases were analyzed in detail and the most updated review of management of each type of HNC was provided. Conclusions HNCs are rare with diagnosis and management challenges during pregnancy. In this series, the cases diagnosed and managed previously to pregnancy presented better perinatal outcomes than the cases presented during pregnancy. The maternal outcomes appeared similar for HNC diagnosed before or after pregnancy.

Imaging Results

Introduction: Tumors of large salivary glands constitute about 2-3% of all head and neck tumors. Their incidence is statistically greater in males than in females, with the first symptoms usually appearing between the 4th and 7th decade of life. Material and methods: The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of the new classification proposed by ESGS in comparison with the divisions of procedures previously valid in the literature, making a retrospective analysis of patients operated due to benign tumors of large salivary glands in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Oncology of the Medical University of Lodz in 2012-2020. The retrospective examination was based on the material consisting of: surgical protocols, histopathological results, imaging results and clinical observations. Results: The material includes 283 patients (141 women and 142 men): 249 patients with parotid gland tumor and 34 patients with submandibular gland tumor. The most common histopathological diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma, which was found in 105 patients (42.17%) and adenolymphoma diagnosed in 94 patients (37.75%). The most common type of surgery was superficial parotidectomy including total superficial parotidectomy in 86 patients (34.54%) and partial superficial parotidectomy in 49 cases (19.68%). Then, according to the frequency of surgery, extracapsular tumor dissection (ECD) was performed (91 patients - 36.55%). According to the ESGS classification, in most cases parotidectomy I, II (37.34% of all parotidectomies) and parotidectomy II (28.49%) were performed. In case of ECD, all tumors were located at level II. Conclusions: In summary, the new classification is aimed at unifying, but also simplifying the current nomenclature, reducing the existing nomenclature errors. By determining the exact location and extent of the tumor within the parotid gland, it facilitates postoperative monitoring of patients by ENT doctors and those of other specialties. Key words: ESGS classification, parotid gland, parotidectomy, extracapsular tumor dissection

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare condition with a peculiar presentation that aids in making a clinical diagnosis. We present a 22-year-old male patient who presented with critical hand ischemia secondary to a distal ulnar aneurysm with distal embolization. The patient was treated with an aneurysmectomy with cephalic vein interposition graft, which resulted in complete reversal of his hand ischemia. This case report outlines the clinical presentation of this rare condition, along with a recent review of the literature.

Congenital unilateral agenesis of the parotid gland is a rare condition with only few cases reported in the literature. A review of 21 cases in the available literature is presented in this article. We report on a further case of a 34-year-old woman with agenesis of the left parotid gland and lipoma of the right cheek. Clinicopathological characteristics of described cases in the literature were discussed.

Parotid gland tuberculosis is a very rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with less than 200 cases reported in literature. We describe a 10-year-old female who presented with a swelling in the left parotid region during the last month. CT scan neck revealed an abscess in the left parotid gland extending into the submandibular gland, muscles, and bone. Pus aspirated by FNAC showed acid fast bacilli in the ZN stain, and GeneXpert was positive for rifampicin-sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis. She was successfully treated with antituberculous therapy given for 6 months. Parotid gland tuberculosis, although rare, has a good prognosis with drug therapy. Surgery is rarely required.
