Abstract The causes of dysphonia or hoarseness are numerous and can be classified as functional or organic. The report will highlight the clinical presentation, histopathological features and management plan of laryngeal epidermal inclusion cysts (EICs). Laryngeal EICs are rare. The epidermal and dermoid cysts represent only 0.01% of oral cavity cysts. Their clinical presentation varies from a completely asymptomatic presentation to dysphonia for years. This current report represents a case of a 34-year-old female who presented with 2-year history of dysphonia, which was caused by a unilateral laryngeal EIC.

<p class="abstract">Epidermoids or epidermal inclusion cysts are developmental malformations rarely seen in the oral cavity. They are a histological variant of lesions broadly termed as dermoid cysts. The case discussed here stands out not only due to its unique clinical presentation which can put a clinician in a diagnostic dilemma but also because of its anatomical variation upon surgical exploration which can add to the conundrum<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Abstract Introduction Epidermal inclusion cyst is a relatively common condition usually associated with trauma, with characteristic presentation, and seen in the extremities. However, it is an uncommon entity in the head and neck region. Objective The purpose of this paper is to report the unusual presentation of epidermal inclusion cyst in the maxilla without any definitive history of trauma and to review the concerned English language literature. Conclusion In the absence of any definitive history of trauma, only a thorough clinical examination along with characteristic radiological imaging and histopathological findings will help in diagnosing epidermal inclusion cyst.

“Multiple chemical sensitivities” has become an increasingly common clinical presentation to physicians, though it is infrequently seen by psychotherapists. This case report describes a 61-year-old woman who presents with a long history of chemical sensitivities, that led to a somatization disorder with debilitating agoraphobia, depression, and marital problems. Features of a variety of anxiety disorders are present, as are metacognitions that required an unusual case conceptualization. A cognitive therapy case conceptualization and treatment are described, which address the highly idiosyncratic clinical presentation of this patient.

A seven-month-old, intact female Jack Russell terrier was presented with a history of recurrent hemorrhage originating in the oral cavity. The puppy had a severe anemia and a lingual hemangioma. Several blood transfusions and two separate surgical procedures were necessary to control the problem. The first surgery was a resection of almost 50% of the tongue lengthwise. A similar intervention was performed two months later. A literary review of lingual tumors in animals and in humans is presented.

Abstract Dermatomyofibroma is a rare cutaneous mesenchymal tumor of benign fibroblastic and myofibroblastic derivations. It predominantly affects young women, and it usually presents as a reddish-brown plaque or nodule, which is commonly located over the upper trunk. We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient who presented with progressive linear dermatomyofibroma over the nape of her neck. This case report expands the knowledge about the clinical and histopathological features of this rare, benign and cutaneous tumor.
