Vulvar aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the vulva. Due to its slow-growing nature, it is often overlooked and misdiagnosed by primary care providers (PCPs). We describe a case report of vulvar AA in a 38-year-old woman who underwent complete surgical excision of the neoplasm with no evidence of recurrence on a 5-year followup. A literature review follows to provide PCPs with the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features that this tumor displays.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour, primarily arising in the soft tissue of the pelvis and perineum in women of reproductive age. There is a paucity of evidence on optimal management because of the rarity of these tumours, but the consensus has been for surgical excision. We present the case of a 65-year-old woman who was admitted with left-sided buttock pain and initially diagnosed with a perianal abscess. She underwent examination under anaesthesia rectum with surgical excision of the lesion, subsequent histopathological and immunochemical analysis was suggestive of aggressive angiomyxoma. To complement our case report, we also present a literature review focusing on aggressive angiomyxoma in the ischioanal fossa (also known as the ischiorectal fossa) with only eight cases of primary aggressive angiomyxoma involving the ischioanal fossa documented to date. The primary aims of this case report and literature review are to familiarise clinicians with the clinical, histopathological and immunochemical features of these tumours, and to increase appreciation that despite the rarity of aggressive angiomyxoma, it might be considered in the differential diagnosis of ischioanal lesions.

AbstractObjective:We report the second known case of aggressive angiomyxoma of the larynx.Method:Case report and a review of the world literature concerning angiomyxoma of the larynx and recent advances in the immunohistochemical, cytogenic and clinical study of its female pelvic counterpart.Results:Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour originally thought only to occur in the female pelvis and peritoneum, or rarely in the male genital tract. A 47-year-old man presented with a one-month history of dysphonia. He was found to have a supraglottic mass on endoscopic examination, and underwent a laryngofissure approach excision biopsy and covering tracheostomy. Histological analysis showed a characteristic proliferation of spindle cells widely separated by loose, myxoid stroma with a prominent vascular component. Aggressive angiomyxoma was diagnosed.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the second report in the world literature of aggressive angiomyxoma of the larynx. Comparison with the female pelvic counterpart facilitates diagnosis, aided by recent advances, and suggests that complete surgical excision with a wide margin is the treatment of choice.

<p class="abstract">Schwannomas are rare, solitary, slow growing, smooth surfaced and well encapsulated tumors. Schwannomas of head and neck region account for 25-40% of all the cases. Approximately 1%–12% of schwannomas occur intraorally, the tongue being the most common site. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice.  In this article, we describe a case of tongue schwannoma in a child, along with diagnostic and treatment options of tongue lesions. The tongue mass was completely excised via trans-oral approach using coblation method. The patient followed up for 1 year; he had an uneventful recovery and no recurrence.</p>

Schwannomas are rare slow-growing benign tumors arising from Schwann cells lining the nerve sheaths. Head and neck schwannomas account for about one-third of all cases, and only 4% of them arise from the sinonasal tract. Its diagnosis is based on histology and immunohistochemistry. Complete surgical excision is the most recommended treatment option, and endoscopic surgery has been widely performed in recent years. In this study, we presented a case of a 55-year-old female with schwannoma arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, causing epistaxis and rhinorrhea. The patient underwent endoscopic excision with prompt resolution of symptoms. The reported cases of nasal cavity schwannoma were reviewed and summarized for educational purposes.

ABSTRACT Objective Four cases of laryngeal lipoma are presented with a discussion of their differential diagnoses and management. Materials and methods Case report and literature review. Results Laryngeal lipomas, though a fairly rare entity, are occasionally the cause of persistent hoarseness of voice. An accurate diagnosis is important and the management may vary from surgical excision to only wait and watch policy, as these tumors are usually slow growing. A discussion of the presentation and management of four cases of laryngeal lipoma managed by us is documented with a review of literature. Conclusion Laryngeal lipomas have no set management protocol. A custom-made plan for each patient should be charted out depending on the symptoms of the patient and extent of the lipoma.

Opioid Use

Stigma is a complex phenomenon with a myriad of detrimental health and social impacts that are not fully studied or understood. Persistent stigma exists towards individuals who have opioid use disorder (OUD) in British Columbia. OUD is a chronic, relapsing, clinical condition that has been identified as one of the most challenging substance use disorders. For those affected, they must also endure the consequences of stigma that promote barriers to health care, health and social inequalities, diminished quality of life as well as increased morbidity and mortality. The current unremitting opioid overdose crisis in British Columbia further emphasizes the importance of eradicating stigma towards individuals who use opioids and/or suffer from OUD, as untreated OUD is fueling this multifaceted public health emergency. For these reasons, an integrative literature review has been conducted to identify how primary care providers in British Columbia can address the intersecting stigmas for individuals suffering OUD. The results are discussed within the context of primary health care in British Columbia. Whittemore and Knafl’s approach to the integrative literature review was utilized in this study to review eleven pertinent articles. The findings suggest that stigma occurs on varying levels for individuals with OUD that serve to reinforce each other and manifest as discrimination, mistrust, social distancing, minimized advocacy, unequal access to health care and suboptimal health care. Further, the findings indicated that the role of primary care providers may be instrumental in eradicating stigma in a timely manner. Recommendations for primary care providers to dismantle the stigma associated with OUD are discussed, and specific strategies for the primary care setting are presented.
