AbstractLymphangiomas are uncommon benign congenital tumours. Most occur in the head and neck region and the vast majority present before the age of two. This paper describes the presentation and management of four cases presenting after puberty and involving the parotid gland. The cases are unusual in that all were intimately associated with the facial nerve and in an older population. The value of selective neck dissection and facial nerve exposure as an approach to these lesions is 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.

History Of

Castleman disease is an extremely rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. It affects the lymphatic chain in anybody region, although the commonest site is the mediastinum. The head and neck region is the second most common site; however, the salivary glands are rarely affected. We report a case of a 29-year-old Asian lady who presented with a 2-year history of an enlarging left parotid mass. Histopathology of the excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Castleman disease.

Chronic Inflammatory Disorder

Introduction Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder, predominantly affecting the urinary tract. In the head and neck region, it is very rare and may confuse the clinicians during investigations, as features may mimic malignancy. Materials and methods We report a case of malakoplakia involving the parotid gland and review of the reported cases of malakoplakia in head and neck region. Results Histologically, this is the first classic case report of malakoplakia involving the parotid gland in the world literature. A total of 49 cases have been reported in the head and neck region; 38.7% of these are cutaneous. In soft tissue, the tongue is the most common site. Salivary gland involvement is very rare. Previously, submandibular salivary gland involvement has been reported. Conclusion A possibility of malakoplakia should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with enlarged head and neck masses. Histology is essential to diagnose this benign inflammatory disorder and to differentiate from a malignant process.

Microsurgical Free Flaps

The surgical management of malignant tumors or in the head and neck region often leads to functional and esthetic defects that impair the quality of life of the patients. Reconstruction can be solved with prostheses in these cases, but various types of microsurgical free flaps can provide a better clinical outcome. Not only head and neck cancer and related surgical interventions, but also trauma and congenital cranio-maxillofacial deformities can result in appearance, which may impair the socialization or social integration of the patient. These special cases indicate special consideration and surgical techniques. The aim of the current thesis is to present the importance of the individualized surgical management through special cases.

Salivary gland neoplasms represent about 3% of head and neck tumors. The area most affected by tumors is parotid salivary gland (standing for about 80% of all cases). The most common type of the neoplasm is pleomorphic adenoma (which accounts for 80-90% of all diagnoses). One of the rare diagnoses in this region comprises synovial sarcoma, as it mainly occurs in lower extremities. In head and neck region it accounts for about 3% of all diagnoses. About 20 cases have been described in this region, so far. The etiology of the disease remains unknown, but there are reports linking synovial sarcoma with the rearrangement in the gene responsible for chromosomal transcription t(X;18) (p11,q11).
