AbstractInflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare disease that is often misinterpreted as a lymphoma or carcinoma. It may involve different body regions but most commonly the lungs and the orbital cavity. We report the case of a patient affected by an IPT of the trigeminal and facial nerves.A 69-year-old male presented to our hospital with a right facial palsy arisen suddenly 2 days before. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head showed an abnormal mass with homogeneous enhancement involving the deep lobe of the parotid gland, the parapharyngeal space, and the infratemporal fossa, extending along the trigeminal nerve and the facial nerve. The patient was planned for multiple transnasal biopsies in the nasopharynx, the region of the foramen ovale, and the deep lobe of the parotid gland, but the results were inconclusive, with no evidence of a malignant process. We considered the possibility that the lesion could be an IPT, and the patient was treated with prednisone and cyclophosphamide. Three months after the conclusion of the treatment, an MRI showed a complete radiological response.

Neurogenic Origin

Majority of the tumour of parotid gland is benign in nature. Neurogenic origin of tumor is a rare entity. If it occurs, the tumour usually arises from the main trunk. A well encapsulated mass originated deep to the deep lobe of parotid may manifest itself like a typical pleomorphic adenoma. We reported a case of middle-aged man with infratemporal neurofibroma presenting with asymptomatic parotid mass.

Gland Tumour

BACKGROUND: Oncocytoma or oxyphilic adenoma is uncommon salivary gland tumour, occurs predominantly in the in patients older than 60 years of age. Clinically oncocytoma resemble other salivary tumours while histology is typically consisting of oncocytes with many hyperplastic mitochondria. It usually occurs in the parotid gland. Because the features of oncocytoma are similar to those of other benign and low-grade malignant salivary tumours, clinical diagnosis is often challenging.CASE PRESENTATION: This report presents the pathologic and imaging findings of an oncocytoma arising in the deep lobe of the right parotid gland in a 74-year-old male. Oncocytoma was diagnosed on the basis of histological, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scintigraphic findings and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).CONCLUSION: This case was unique because in the literature there are few articles about the rare presentation and deep lobe location of this type of parotid oncocytoma.

Abstract Background Manifestations of intractable hyponatremia and hypokalemia in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy have been rarely reported. Case presentation A 75-year-old male patient presented as the case of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and intractable hypokalemia, showed fever, fatigue, and mental disorders. Signs and symptoms of meningoencephalitis, ataxia, and cognitive abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple white matter lesions of the central nervous system. He had GFAP-IgG in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). After treatment with corticosteroids, his symptoms were alleviated gradually, and the level of electrolytes was normal. However, head contrast-enhanced MRI + susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) showed a wide afflicted region, and the serum GFAP-IgG turned positive. Considering the relapse of the disease, ha was treated with immunoglobulin and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) to stabilize his condition. Conclusion This case showed a rare disease with uncommon manifestations, suggesting that careful examination and timely diagnosis are essential for disease management and satisfactory prognosis.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor of the salivary glands, most commonly affecting the parotid gland. Pleomorphic adenoma of the ear is rare. The use of imaging modalities, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is particularly useful in localizing and surgical planning of these tumors. We present a case of pleomorphic adenoma invading the mastoid cortical bone, with review of literature. How to cite this article Vamanshankar H, Parida PK.

Physiol. 81(6): 2445–2455, 1996.—The effects of diet only (DO) and diet combined with either aerobic (DA) or resistance (DR) exercise on subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), lean tissue (LT), and skeletal muscle (SM) tissue were evaluated in 33 obese men (DO, n= 11; DA, n = 11; DR, n = 11). All tissues were measured by using a whole body multislice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) model. Within each group, significant reductions were observed for body weight, SAT, and VAT ( P < 0.05). The reductions in body weight (∼10%) and SAT (∼25%) and VAT volume (∼35%) were not different between groups ( P > 0.05). For all treatments, the relative reduction in VAT was greater than in SAT ( P < 0.05). For the DA and DR groups only, the reduction in abdominal SAT (∼27%) was greater ( P < 0.05) than that observed for the gluteal-femoral region (∼20%). Conversely, the reduction in VAT was uniform throughout the abdomen regardless of treatment ( P > 0.05). MRI-LT and MRI-SM decreased both in the upper and lower body regions for the DO group alone ( P < 0.05). Peak O2 uptake (liters) was significantly improved (∼14%) in the DA group as was muscular strength (∼20%) in the DR group ( P< 0.01). These findings indicate that DA and DR result in a greater preservation of MRI-SM, mobilization of SAT from the abdominal region, by comparison with the gluteal-femoral region, and improved functional capacity when compared with DO in obese men.

First Bite Syndrome

The First Bite Syndrome is a rare late (1-2 months) post operation complication of surgery in the infratemporal fossa, parapharyngeal space and especially involving the deep lobe of parotid gland. Sometimes it can significantly worsen the patient's quality of life. Acute, sudden, short time pain in the parotid gland region with irradiation to the ear during the first bite a meal is a characteristic for this syndrome. The correct diagnosis and individual approach in choosing a treatment method is the key to success in treating this complication. The purpose of our article is to supplement scanty data on this complication in Polish literature.
