Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheet tumours that may arise almost anywhere in the body but are commonly seen in the head, neck region and in the extremities. They may be associated with variable clinical presentations depending on their location. The peripheral nerves are closely related to vascular tissues morphologically and physiologically and therefore schwannomas may be associated with vascular changes like vascular hyperplasia and vascular dilation. Here authors represent one such case where a 38-year-old patient presented with a cervical swelling which on histopathology was diagnosed as vascular schwannoma.

This report describes pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in a bull with paralytic rabies. The bull displayed severe swelling in the head, neck, chest and forelimbs extending to the ventrum, including the prepuce, 7 days after the development of neurological signs. At necropsy, extensive subcutaneous emphysema was observed in the neck region, abdominal wall and proximal forelimbs. The lungs failed to collapse and had severe emphysema with bullae. Rabies was suspected due to an ongoing outbreak at the farm and was confirmed by histologic lesions and immunohistochemistry. Similar to humans, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema should be considered as an unusual complication of rabies in cattle.

ABSTRACTThe head and neck region is an aesthetically demanding area to resurface because of its high visibility. Tissue defects in this area often require distant flaps or free flaps to achieve an aesthetically acceptable result. The use of the Supraclavicular artery flap represents an extremely versatile and useful option for the resurfacing of head, neck and upper torso defects. Furthermore, islanding the flap gives it a wide arc of rotation and the color and texture match is superior to that of free flaps harvested from distant sites. In our study, we used the flap (both unexpanded and expanded) predominantly for resurfacing neck defects resulting from the release of post-burn contractures. However, its applicability in other indications would also be similar. Except one, all our flaps survived almost completely and the post-operative morbidity was very low. We conclude that the supraclavicular artery flap not only provides a reasonably good color and texture match but also maintains the multi-directional activity in the neck region.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood and adolescence. There are four histological types and among them the embryonic types are the most common. It can occur in any anatomic location, although when occurring in the head and neck region, it has an affinity to invade the cranial cavity. Patient was a 5 years old boy who was admitted with the complaints of pain and discharge from the ear, swelling on left side of the upper neck, and mastoid region and a fleshy mass protruding from the ear canal. The mass was confirmed to be Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma on histopathology. CT scan of the Head-Neck region, showed extension of the mass into infra-temporal fossa and in the mastoid antrum. After complete excision, the patient was referred to oncology deptt for consultation. The chemotherapy schedule comprised of Vincristine and Dactinomycine for 9-12 cycles. Otolaryngologists need to be aware of this rare condition as it may mimic the symptoms of CSOM or nasal polyp. And also long term followup is needed since recurrence can present several years after initial treatment.Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2015; 21(2): 127-131

Introduction   Head and neck lesions encompass a multitude of disorders which can be broadly classified into two groups: Benign and Malignant. Overall 57.5% of global head and neck cancers comes from Asia itself and India alone constitutes 30% of it. Therefore, it is of prime essence that need based and coordinated research for understanding the threats to the nation from chronic diseases such as head and neck cancers and ways to defy such threats should gain the utmost importance. The present study attempts to present the epidemiological profile of the patients attending a peripheral referral institute of this state with head-neck pathologies and has undergone a histopathological examination of their lesions within a period of three years period (2016-18) based on the histopathological evidences. Materials and Methods The accumulated data regarding the aforesaid patients as per records of the histopathological reports available in the Department of Pathology was used as the primary material and the interrelation of different epidemiological parameters were studied using the statistical methods Results Six hundred and eighty seven cases from the head and neck region were analysed during this three-year period. Age range was from 3 years to 96 years with maximum cases in the age group of 20-29 years (16.1%). The Male: Female ratio in our study was 1.34:1 (Males 394, Females 293). In this study, 38.8% benign, 32.46% malignant, 25.32% inflammatory and 3.3% congenital cases were recorded. Maximum number of benign lesions was in the age group of 10-39 years. Malignancies were noted to be higher in ages 40 years and above. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common malignancy observed. Conclusion  Specific data obtained like this from histopathological records is helpful in evaluating patterns of head and neck lesions and augment the base line data of institute and the region.

ABSTRACT Synovial sarcomas of head and neck are very rare and account for only 3% of all sarcomas. Approximately 5% of synovial sarcomas arise in the head and neck region and hypopharynx and larynx are the most and least often affected anatomic sites respectively. We describe a rare case of primary hypopharyngeal synovial sarcoma in a young adult. How to cite this article Jamshed A, Loya A, Tirmazi AH, Hussain R. Synovial Cell Sarcoma of the Hypopharynx.
