Giant cell reparative granuloma of the concha bullosa

AbstractGiant cell reparative granuloma is a benign lesion occurring most commonly in the bones of the jaw and rarely in the paranasal sinuses. We present an unusual case of giant cell reparative granuloma arising within a concha bullosa. Complete excision was achieved using an endoscopic transnasal approach.

AbstractIntroduction:Verrucous carcinoma is a variant of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma characterised by an exophytic, warty growth which is slowly but locally invasive and which can cause extensive local destruction if left untreated.Case report:We report the first known case of veruccous carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses with rapid orbital invasion. A 58-year-old man presented with right-sided nasal obstruction, a huge right intranasal lesion, intractable dacryocystitis and cutaneous involvement of the nasolacrimal sac region. The tumour was partially removed using an endoscopic transnasal approach. Post-operatively, and while waiting for the histological result, the patient developed signs of rapid invasion of the orbit, with uniocular visual acuity deficit. He underwent combined radiochemotherapy, with a moderate response.Conclusion:Knowledge of the potentially aggressive nature of verrucous carcinoma may be helpful in early management of intraorbital invasion and salvaging of the eye.

Bone Cortex

Introduction: Central giant-cell is a benign lesion that predominantly involves the bone of the mandible and maxilla with a wide variation of its behavior. Surgery usually is the first choice in treatment of central giant cell granuloma.Case Report: In this case report we present a 29 years-old female with well define swelling on left maxilla. Diagnosis through incisional biopsy showed a central giant cell granuloma. Surgery with curettage was our treatment option with a follow up( 2 years ), No recurrence was reported.Discussion: Information on the maxillary central giant cell granuloma in published studies is insufficient. So here we present our case as unusual case presentation. Differential diagnosis of this case included osteosarcoma (parosteal type) since the tumor clinical presentation in periosteous tissue adjacent to the bone cortex and showed rapid growth. We chose the conventional surgical treatment by simple surgical curettage by mid-face degloving approach to avoid any facial scaring.

AbstractGiant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is an uncommon benign lesion which has been reported at several sites in the head and neck. We present a case of a GCRG of the cricoid cartilage not previously described in the literature. It must be differentiated from the brown tumour of hyperparathyroidism and true giant cell tumours of bone. These were excluded on clinical, biochemical, radiological and histological grounds. The lesion responded well to surgical debulking and curettage and the patient remained disease-free 15 months after treatment.

Multiple Recurrences

Glomus tumour is a benign lesion arising from the glomus apparatus of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Glomangioma is the angiomatous variant, which is uncommon. We report a very rare presentation of a glomangioma with multiple recurrences. We advocate preoperative angiography to delineate the extent of the lesion to facilitate complete excision.

Giant cell reparative granuloma is an unusual benign process arising especially in the maxillofacial bones. It occurs in the second and third decades, predominantly in children and young adults, and is classified as peripheral (located in gingival tissues) and central (located in bone). We presented an unusual case with a lytic and aggressive radiological appearance.

Background. Pleomorphic adenomas occurring in the adult nasopharynx are rare, with our literature search identifying only 11 previous English-language reports. We document the unusual case of a large nasopharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma that was resected using radiofrequency coblation via an endoscopic transnasal approach. Methods. A 39-year-old male presented with worsening nasal congestion, intermittent otalgia, and a progressive change in voice. Flexible nasendoscopy showed a large homogeneous mass occupying the postnasal space, and computed tomography confirmed a 28 × 31 × 22 mm nasopharyngeal tumour. The biopsy-proven benign tumour was locally dissected using a coblator-assisted transnasal approach. Results. Histology confirmed complete excision of a myoepithelial-rich pleomorphic adenoma. The patient was symptom-free postoperatively, and no signs of recurrence were seen at one-year follow-up. Conclusions. This is a useful addition to the existing literature on surgical procedures used to treat benign pathology in the nasopharynx. The minimally invasive technique was well tolerated and had favourable patient outcomes.
