AbstractAngiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon benign condition characterized by cutaneous nodules with a predeliction for the head and neck region. Extracutaneous involvement is rare. We report a 44-year-old woman who had a large submucosal ALHE tumour in the parapharyngeal space. Our patient is of interest because of the unusual, and as far as we are aware from the literature, unique site and presentation of her lesion.

Rare Case Report

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

Unusual Condition

AbstractAngiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a rare condition and is poorly recognized in the otolaryngological literature. The condition is characterized by the appearance of cutaneous nodules within the head and neck region especially around the external ear. Variable lymphadenopathy and peripheral eosinophilia can occur and the condition can mimic neoplasia. It is important to be aware of this disease entity in order to avoid overtreatment. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice; however, this often multilobulated and poorly delineated lesion often precludes initial wide excision and local recurrence is common.We present three cases of this unusual condition and a brief resumé of the literature.

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.

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

AbstractAngiolympoid hyperplasia with cosinophilia is a rare benign condition that causes swellings in the head and neck. It is difficult to diagnose prior to biopsy and is frequently mistaken for a malignant tumoour. A case involving a 21-year-old man who presented with a 2 cm diameter fiborous lesion the subcutaneous tissue of the cheek is reported. The clinical and histological features are reviewed and the differences between this condition and the similar condition of Kimura's disease are discussed. Initial treatment with intralesional or sustemic steroids is suggested as this may avoid the need for excision.

Nail Gun Injury

<p class="abstract">In developing countries, head and neck penetrating injuries from construction nails are rare can be dangerous or fatal. The use of nail guns in the construction industry gained popularity during the 1990s and is now widespread. In majority of nail gun injuries, the extremities are involved, although injuries to the head and neck region have also been described with approximately 45 cases of cranium penetrating nail gun injuries published in the literature. The management of such cases includes a neurological examination, systemic physical examination, and determination of the optimal surgical method to approach and remove the foreign body. we report a case of penetrating skull base injury caused by a nail gun in a 46-year-old man that was successfully managed by a transnasal endoscopic approach. The patient recovered completely and was discharged. To prevent complications and achieve the best outcomes in such cases, careful diagnosis and assessment are necessary.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest benign salivary gland neoplasm but it has the tendency to reoccur if not properly removed and has ability to undergo malignant transformation. The aim of the study was to discuss the presentation and treatment of pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck region.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Retrospective chart review of patients treated for pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck region between 2011 and 2018. Data assessed included demographics, clinical presentation, imaging, treatment, complications, recurrence and follow‐up.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Seventy nine patients with pleomorphic adenoma were identified. Major salivary gland lesions were most common (n=64, 81.0%); 67% (53 of 64) arising in the parotid and 14% (11 of 64) in the submandibular glands. Minor salivary gland lesions were removed from the palate (8 of 15, 53.3%), parapharyngeal space (3 of 15, 20%), nasal septum (2 of 15, 13.3%), lower lip (1 of 15, 6.7%) and base of tongue (1 of 15, 6.7%). Preoperative imaging done was mainly computed tomography in all the cases however in parapharyngeal space cases magnetic resonance imaging was also done. Surgical excision was performed in all patients except base of tongue case.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Treatment of pleomorphic adenoma is mainly surgical with negative margin. Rate of recurrence is low, however long follow-up is recommended. </p>

Epithelioid hemangioma, also known as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, is a cutaneous angioproliferative lesion that follows a benign clinical course. It is most frequently localized in the skin of the head and neck region; although it may sometimes arise deeper in soft tissues, orbital involvement is rare. Here we describe a patient who developed multiple epithelioid hemangiomas, including an intraorbital lesion. The histopathological parallels with other reactive and neoplastic lesions as well as therapeutic options are discussed.
