Abstract A report of true aneurysms is extremely rare. There are only five previous case reports of true aneurysm of the facial artery. In the previously reported cases, there was no case that underwent trapping and surgical excision. In this case report, we describe the procedure of internal trapping before the surgical excision of a huge true aneurysm of the right facial artery for a 79-year-old woman. There was no recurrence of the aneurysm during a 6-month follow-up period.

AbstractBackground:Liposarcomas rarely occur in the parapharyngeal space and only a few case reports exist. For curative therapy of liposarcoma, surgical excision remains the dominant modality. Although a wide surgical margin is important to prevent local recurrence, wide excision is often difficult in the head and neck region.Case report:We report a case of a 19-year-old female with a well-differentiated liposarcoma arising in the parapharyngeal space. We removed the tumour surgically utilising a cervical–parotid approach. The histological diagnosis was well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma. There is no recurrence after five years and nine months of follow up.Conclusion:The patient's age and the tumour site made it difficult for us to make a quantitative diagnosis before the operation. Well-differentiated liposarcoma rarely develop distant metastasis, but often recur locally. The benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy for well-differentiated liposarcoma is still not clear and careful and long-term follow up is necessary.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a locally aggressive tumor of mesenchymal origin. The condition predominantly affects females, with a male/female ratio of 6:1. Most cases occur during the reproductive years, with a peak between the third and fourth decades of life. The symptoms are non-specific, and the principal differential diagnosis is with Bartholin’s cysts or abscesses. The treatment of choice is surgical excision of the lesion, including evaluation of the margins. This case report refers to a 41-year old patient with an insidiously growing lesion on the right vestibular area measuring approximately 9 x 5 x 5 cm, associated with dyspareunia. Surgical excision was successful, and there have been no signs of tumor recurrence in the six months of follow-up. Differential diagnosis in cases of vulvar lesions is of the utmost importance. A detailed vulvar examination is essential to ensure early diagnosis and to reduce the rate of underdiagnosed cases of aggressive angiomyxoma

Displaced dental implants into the maxillary sinus are relatively rare. Treatment consists of implant surgical removal. Objective: To present two case reports of the removal of implants displaced into maxillary sinus by a conservative technique. Case report: Report 1: A 44-year-old female sought for treatment complaining about headaches and recurrent sinusitis. In the anamnesis she reported she had been undergone placement of nine maxillary implants, fifteen years ago, with total loss of those elements. At the imaging exams it was possible to observe two displaced implants into the bilateral maxillary sinus, besides radiopaque image on the left maxillary sinus, compatible with maxillary sinusitis. Based on this data, the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implants through Caldwell Luc approach and sinusotomy in the left side, under general anesthesia. The patient has a follow-up of 6 months without complaints. Report 2: A 42-year-old male was referred to the Surgery and Maxillofacial Traumatology Department for implant removal from the right maxillary sinus. Patient underwent implant installation in the area around 9 months ago. In the computarized tomography it was possible to diagnose the implant migration into the right maxillary sinus. the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implant via Caldwell Luc Access by repositioning the bony window and sinusotomy. Results: Patient has been with no complaints at 30 days after surgery. Conclusion: The technique has been shown to be effective in treating the condition.

Infantile Haemangiomas

The management of the giant and moderate size infantile haemangiomas are challenging problems, especially in health systems with limited resources in developing countries. The aim of presenting this case is to take a lesson from another discipline’s decision in managing haemangioma.The author provide information based on clinical examination and surgical records of the patient with giant hemangioma which was consulted to plastic surgery team. A four month year old boy was consulted by pediatric surgery team with a giant size haemangioma on the right hemithorax.The treatment option for each haemangioma are different based on the case itself. Especially for this case, it seems better to be treated conservatively due to several reason, such as the phase of hemangioma, the location of the mass, the size, the donor morbidity. Early surgical excision of a moderate size infantile haemangioma may be justified especially when there is dificulty of follow-up. This approach will prevent growth deformation, impact on nearby vital organs and psychological problems.

Introduction: Management of orbital lymphangioma is challenging. Complete surgical excision is often impossible due to its infiltrative nature. Sclerosing agents have been used in its management with variable outcomes. We report a case of recurrent orbital lymphangioma managed with intralesional bleomycin.  Case: A 14-year-old female presented with proptosis of the right eye for two weeks. She had a similar history at five years of age for which she underwent surgical excision. We performed negative pressure aspiration using a 20-gauge angiocatheter, injected bleomycin, and left the cannula in situ for repeat aspiration to maintain cyst collapse.  Observation: The lymphangioma regressed, and there was no recurrence at six months of follow-up.  Conclusion: This report highlights the use of negative pressure aspiration and intralesional bleomycin injection by minimal intervention using angiocatheter in the successful management of orbital lymphangioma.

This case report describes the case of a 37-year-old man that noticed an intrascrotal right mass with 1 month of evolution. During physical exam presented with a large mass at the inferior portion of the right testicle, clearly separated from the testicle, with a tender consistency and mobile. An ultrasound was performed that showed a solid and subcutaneous nodular lesion, extra testicular, heterogeneous, measuring 7.2 cm. Pelvic magnetic resonance imageMRI showed a lesion compatible with a lipoma. The patient was subjected to surgical excision of the lesion by scrotal access, having histology revealed a lipoblastoma (LB) of the scrotum. Histological diagnosis was obtained by microscopic characteristics (well-circumscribed fatty neoplasm) and immunohistochemistry (stains for CD34, S100 protein and PLAG1 were positive; stains for MDM2 and CDK4 were negative). LB is extremely rare after adolescence in any location, being this first described case of intrascrotal LB described in adulthood.

Abstract Background There has been a rapid rise in the number of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital mucormycosis (CAROM) cases especially in South Asian countries, to an extent that it has been considered an epidemic among the COVID-19 patients in India. As of May 13, 2021, 101 CAROM cases have been reported, of which 82 cases were from India and 19 from the rest of the world. On the other hand, pulmonary mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 has a much lesser reported incidence of only 7% of the total COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases (Singh AK, Singh R, Joshi SR, Misra A, Diab Metab Syndr: Clin Res Rev, 2021). This case report attempts to familiarize the health care professionals and radiologists with the imaging findings that should alarm for follow-up and treatment in the lines of CAROM. Case presentation Rhino-orbital mucormycosis (ROM) is a manifestation of mucormycosis that is thought to be acquired by inhalation of fungal spores into the paranasal sinuses. Here, we describe a 55-year-old male, post COVID-19 status with long standing diabetes who received steroids and ventilator therapy for the management of the viral infection. Post discharge from the COVID-19 isolation ICU, the patient complained of grayish discharge from the right nostril and was readmitted to the hospital for the nasal discharge. After thorough radiological and pathological investigation, the patient was diagnosed with CAROM and managed. Conclusion Uncontrolled diabetes and imprudent use of steroids are both contributing factors in the increased number of CAROM cases. Our report emphasizes on the radiological aspect of CAROM and reinforces the importance of follow-up imaging in post COVID-19 infection cases with a strong suspicion of opportunistic infections.

We describe a case of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) in a healthy 56-year-old woman who underwent femtosecond-assisted phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after an uneventful postoperative course in the left eye, the right eye was operated. Dilated pupil which was nonreactive to light appeared on day 21 postoperatively. This was discovered upon examination following anterior chamber inflammatory reaction which occurred 2 weeks following her surgery. Our case report emphasizes the importance and danger in developing UZS even if the reaction in the anterior chamber does not occur immediately after surgery. In addition, the importance of intraocular pressure follow-up in the period after UZS is acknowledged.

AbstractThis study presents a bilateral variation in the formation of trunks of brachial plexus in a male cadaver. The right brachial plexus was composed of six roots (C4-T1) and the left brachial plexus of five roots (C5-T1). Both formed four trunks thus changing the contributions of the anterior divisions of the cervical nerves involved in the formation of the cords and the five main somatic motor nerves for the upper limb. There are very few case reports in the scientific literature on this topic; thus making the present study very relevant.
