AbstractDental assessments are important before the commencement of radiotherapy to the head and neck area to assess the teeth and associated structures lying in the treatment field and to inform the patient of the effects of radiotherapy on the oral cavity. This case report documents an incidental radiographic finding of a mandibular cystic lesion and its impact on the radiotherapy planning and decision making to proceed with radiotherapy.

Abstract Background Concomitant cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) and aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) are rare in the head and neck region. In our search of the English language literature, we found only one case report describing the simultaneous occurrence of COD and ABC in the head and neck region. Here, we report a case of COD associated with ABC. Further, we performed a systematic search of the literature to identify studies on patients with COD associated with nonepithelial lined cysts of the jaws. Case presentation The patient was a 32-year-old woman who was referred from a private dental clinic because of a cystic lesion below the mandibular right first molar. She had no pain or significant systemic disease. After performing panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography, the imaging diagnosis was COD with a cystic lesion, such as ABC or solitary bone cyst. Excisional biopsy was performed, which revealed concomitant COD and ABC. Conclusion This case of ABC associated with COD provides insight for the diagnostic process of radiographically mixed lesions with cystic changes.

Although osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, the incidence in head and neck bony structures is extremely low. As the surgical treatment requires a wide margin excision, the operation usually will be very challenging especially if it involves midline structures. We report a case of a young gentleman who had a bony growth over the epicenter of the hard palate which rapidly occupies the whole oral cavity within 6 months duration. The outline of management is discussed. Keywords: Osteosarcoma; hard palate. DOI: 10.3329/bjms.v10i1.7322 Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.10 No.1 Jan 2010 pp.57-59

The Common

ABSTRACTRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a tumor of skeletal muscle origin, is the most common soft tissue sarcoma encountered in childhood and adolescence. The common sites of occurrence are the head and neck region, genitourinary tract, retroperitonium, and, to a lesser extent, the extremities. In the head and neck region, the most commonly affected sites are the orbit, paranasal sinuses, soft tissues of the cheek, and the neck. RMS is relatively uncommon in the oral cavity, and the involvement of the jaws is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of oral RMS in a 13-year-old child and describe the clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:340-343)

Amyloidosis of the nasopharynx is a rare presentation of localized amyloidosis. The majority of systemic amyloidosis cases involve the heart, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and upper and lower respiratory tract. Localized amyloidosis involving only one site is less common, but has been observed in the head and neck area, particularly in the larynx or the oral cavity. Amyloidosis in the nasopharynx has been reported in only seven previous cases in the English literature.

Ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis has been identified by angiography of the carotid artery in several cases. We present a case of ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis that was found incidentally in computed tomography angiography of the ascending pharyngeal artery. Images revealed that the anastomosis formed through the hypoglossal branch of the neuromeningeal trunk. The anastomosis seemed to be associated with hypoplasia of the right vertebral artery. Interventional radiologists should be aware of this dangerous anastomotic route of the APA to the VA. Discovery of hypoplasia of the major intracranial arteries before intra-arterial chemotherapy or embolization in head and neck area may avoid subsequent complications.

Hoarse Voice

Papillary cystadenoma is a rare, benign salivary gland neoplasm containing cystic cavities with intraluminal papillary projections. In the head and neck area, it occurs mainly in major and intraoral minor salivary glands, but rarely in the larynx. We report a case of a 67-year-old female with a chief complaint of hoarse voice diagnosed as laryngeal papillary cystadenoma. This paper emphasizes the need to consider papillary cystadenoma as one of differential diagnosis when benign looking lesions are observed in the larynx, where it uncommonly occurs.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma is an interesting and challenging entity even in its most usual, cutaneous presentation. Noncutaneous presentation is extremely limited, even more so for the mucosa of the head and neck area. We herein report such a case, describing the clinical characteristics of the lesion, complete diagnostic evaluation, management, and follow-up. Diagnostic histopathological challenges are specifically illustrated. A complete review of the relevant literature is also included.
