AbstractLymphangiomas are rare benign hamartoma tumours resulting from a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that are commonly seen in the head and neck region and are rare in the oral cavity. In intraoral lymphangioma, the tongue is the most affected site and shows multiple blister-like nodules with red or purple translucent vesicles on the anterior two-third of ventral and dorsal surface of tongue. Patients with lymphangioma of tongue are associated with difficulties in feeding and mastication, speech disturbances, bleeding from tongue surface, burning sensation of tongue, poor oral hygiene, dental problem and macroglossia. They are usually diagnosed in infancy and early childhood. In conventional method, surgical excision is the treatment of choice but recurrences and postoperative complications are common. Here, we present one such rare case of intraoral lymphangioma involving the tongue of a 4 years old male child who was successfully treated with constitutional homoeopathic medicine Tuberculinum.

Rare Case Report

The incidence of schwannomas is 25-45% in the head and neck region but less than 0.5% when restricted to the parapharyngeal space. The clinical presentation of this lesion varies depending on the anatomical location of its occurrence and thus does the treatment modality. Present report is a case of a 20-year-old female who reported to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with swelling in the lateral part of the neck which was subsequently diagnosed as schwannoma and appropriate surgical excision was done. Histopathology of the excision lesion confirmed the diagnosis. It becomes crucial to report and revise the tumours of the parapharyngeal space because of the complexity of the area.

Rare Case Report

Background: Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that occurs most often in long bones, with the head and neck region being rarely affected, accounting for less than 1% of all cancers in this region. Objective: To report a rare case of a large-extension osteosarcoma with emphasis on its clinical and diagnostic aspects. Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presenting an intraoral exophytic lesion with involvement of other maxillofacial structures, such as nostril, zygoma and orbit. Despite the initial clinical diagnosis of actinomycosis, an incisional biopsy confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of osteosarcoma, showing a wide morphological variety. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of clinical and histopathological findings for the correct diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Moreover, it shows that, although surgical resection is the primary treatment for this neoplasia, depending on the extent of the tumor and its proximity to vital anatomical structures, the most appropriate conduct is not always feasible.

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>

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.

After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

ABSTRACT Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from perineural Schwann cells of nerve sheath. They are solitary, wellencapsulated, slow-growing adjacent to the parental nerve but extrinsic to the nerve fascicles. Approximately 25 to 45% of all schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region and are found rarely in the oral cavity. Most of the intraoral schwannomas are located in the tongue. Palatal schwannoma is very rare as till date and only 16 cases have been reported; one such rare case we came across is reported here. How to cite this article Hameed PSS, Arora N, Malhotra V.

Rare Case Report

<p>Epiglottis dermoid cysts are generally benign lesions, which can affect all the age groups. Dermoid cysts arising from the head and neck region are rare, slow growing, and well-circumscribed neoplasm. Symptoms are non-specific and usually related to the size and the location of the lesion. A dermoid cyst of the epiglottis is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one case has been previously reported in the English literature and a total of three cases were presented in Russian literature in two studies. In our report, a middle-aged male presented with foreign body sensation in throat for 1-year and difficulty in swallowing for three months, mainly for solids. Thorough history, clinical examination and relevant investigation were done. Direct laryngoscopy was done and complete surgical excision was done. The aim of the case report is to present a rare case of epiglottic dermoid cyst, its clinical presentation, radio-logical features and surgical management.</p>

Slow Growing

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare, slow-growing, locally destructive, intermediate-grade malignancy that originates in the dermal layer of the skin. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans rarely metastasizes and has a marked tendency to recur following local surgical excision. The lesion is found most commonly on the trunk, on the proximal aspect of both the lower and upper extremities, and in the head and neck region. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans occurs most commonly in people between the ages of 20 and 50. This article describes the clinical and pathologic features of this rare, malignant neoplasm and describes a rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans involving the pediatric foot.

Typical Morphology

Nevus comedonicus is an uncommon cutaneous developmental defect of follicular apparatus characterized by unilateral and linear distribution of bundles of dilated hair follicles filled with keratin plugs. It is usually seen on the head and neck region, trunk and upper arm. This condition may be present at birth or can occur later in life. The term nevus comedonicus is a misnomer as there are no true comedones and is better termed as follicular keratotic nevus. It is also known as nevus zoniforme or nevus acneiformis unilateralis. There are two types of nevus comedonicus, namely inflammatory and non-inflammatory (non-pyogenic). When nevus comedonicus is manifested with other extracutaneous symptoms, it is termed as nevus comedonicus syndrome. Diagnosis is mainly clinical, based on history and typical morphology. As the disease runs a benign course, no aggressive treatment is required. Patients seek treatment, especially for cosmetic purposes and inflammatory type of lesions. Various treatment modalities like topical therapy, surgical excision, lasers are available and treatment options are individualized based on the size and extent of the lesion. We herein present a case of unilateral nevus comedonicus with no systemic associations in a 30-year-old female on her lower limb which is not a common site of occurrence.

Carcinoma Buccal Mucosa

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in the minor salivary glands of head and neck region. Among intra oral adenoid cystic carcinoma, buccal mucosa is one of the rarer sites. Here, we report a case of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right buccal mucosa in a 33 year old female. As this is an uncommon site for adenoid cystic carcinoma, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of mass of buccal mucosa. It is imperative that we identify such cases and plan for early surgical excision with adequate margins.
