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.

Important Differential Diagnosis

An osseous choristoma is a benign tumor consisting of regular bone tissue in an irregular localization. Choristomas in the head and neck region are rare. Most frequently, they are found in the region of the tongue or oral mucosa. There are also very few reports on osseous choristomas in the submandibular region. We present the case of a woman with a large, caudal osseous choristoma within the lateral cervical triangle. Literature review is given about all of the reported cases in the region of the neck. The pathogenesis is yet unexplained. Our case supports the theory that the development of an osseous choristoma is a reaction to a former trauma. Cervical osseous choristomas are seldom, but they represent an important differential diagnosis when dealing with a cervical tumor.

Neo Adjuvant Chemotherapy

Introduction: Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma is often misdiagnosed. It may be more common than noted in the literature. We present an unusual case of paediatric head and neck fibrosarcoma. Methods: Restrospective case report and literature review. Results: We report the surgical management of a fibrosarcoma of the tongue in an 8-month-old child where neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was unsuccessful. Conclusion: Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment, in the head and neck region where critical structures are close to the tumour, complete resection with wide margins can be difficult. The role of chemotherapy is yet to be defined.

Established Treatment

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is an uncommon soft-tissue malignancy. LGFMS preferentially affects trunks and extremities of young adults; however, occasional cases have been reported in different sites of head and neck region including oral cavity, larynx and oropharynx. LGFMS usually exhibit areas of collagenised and myxoid stroma with appearance of spindle cells in whorling pattern. It is a challenge to diagnose it accurately as most of the time it is misdiagnosed as benign neoplastic entity of spindle cells. There have been only few isolated cases of LGFMS reported in head and neck region and LGFMS originating from the parapharyngeal space has never been reported before. We recently experienced a case of low grade fibomyxoid sarcoma in parapharyngeal space of neck. LGFMS have the propensity to locally recur and to metastasise. Due to its rarity in head and neck region, there are no well-established treatment and follow-up guidelines.

Pilomatrixoma is a benign subcutaneous tumour arising from the sebaceous glands. Mutation in the CTNNB1 gene is seen, suggesting beta-catenin misregulation may be the cause of pilomatrixoma. The preoperative diagnosis may be improved by the awareness of the fact that pilomatrixoma is a common and benign skin tumour of the head and neck region. It presents as a well-defined mass, which may be firm to hard in consistency, usually attached to the skin, but not to the underlying tissue. The colour of overlying skin appears a reddish-brown tinge, indicating that it could be a case of pilomatrixoma. Here, we report a case of pilomatrixoma of the cheek in a woman along with the CT findings and histopathological appearances. Dental surgeons should consider it as one of the differential diagnosis in superficial head and neck swelling with calcification.

Background: Schwannoma is mostly benign lesion that originates from the Schwannoma cells that cover the myelinated nerve fibers. Schwannoma arising from the tonsil are very rare. In head and neck region the incidence rate of schwannoma is between 25 to 45%. In most of the cases vestibular nerve followed by a parapharyngeal space is involved. It is also known as neurilemmoma. Objective: To diagnoses and manage the case of a Schwannoma of Tonsil. Findings: A case of tonsillar schwannoma in a 42 years old males was reported. The patient presented with unilateral enlargement of left tonsil with congested pharyngeal mucosa. Conclusion: Proper clinical examination with radiological assessment plays a vital role to diagnosis this accurately. Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2020; 46(2): 142-144

The Way

One challenging feature of head and neck pathology is that a dizzying array of sarcomatoid lesions occurs here ranging all the way from reactive to malignant and very aggressive. This makes accurate diagnosis critical. These lesions are quite diverse with great clinical and biological heterogeneity. Some are malignant while many others are benign or simply reactive in nature. For example; at mucosal sites, a well known lesion is spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC), which are overtly malignant, and the differential diagnosis then includes a number of different malignant spindle cell lesions. However, there are several benign or even non-neoplastic lesions that can sometimes be difficult to discern from SpCC, e.g. Nodular fasciitis, Proliferative myositis, Cellular schwannoma, Benign fibrous histiocytoma, Carcino sarcoma, Sarcomatoid melanoma. Fracture callus, etc. Aim of Study: There is a diagnostic challenge to the oral pathologists to differentiate dizzying array of sarcoma like lesions from other similar microscopic simulates ranging all the way from reactive to malignant and very aggressive. This article aims to review the sarcomatoid lesions of the head and neck region with emphasis on differential diagnosis histologically and immunohistochemicaly.
