A rare case of lymphoepithelial cyst formed in the piriform sinus of the hypopharynx is reported. Histopathological examination revealed a lymphoepithelial cyst. It was removed by laryngomicrosurgical technique using a side-opened direct laryngoscope. Because this cyst was wide-based on the antero-medial region in the right piriform sinus of the hypopharynx, the mucous membrane around the cyst was incised electrosurgically and then detached to facilitate removal. In this paper, we describe our surgical procedure for removing the cyst in this case and discuss the possible causes of the disease.

Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is the most commonly encountered congenital neck pathology in the lateral part of the neck. A 66-year-old woman presented to the ENT clinic due to difficulty in swallowing persisting for approximately 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass at right tonsil. Surgery was performed due to this unilateral tonsillar mass, which was excised together with the right tonsil. LEC was diagnosed at histopathological examination. LEC in the palatine tonsil is rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of LEC in the palatine tonsil.

<p>Epidermoid carcinoma is a frequent tumor in the upper aerodiodestive tracts, and depending on its location and tumor, nodes, metastases (TNM) stage, its therapy and prognosis vary enormously. Its location in the hypopharynx is rare, and in children or young adolescents, this location is extremely rare; The incriminated causes and the pathophysiology of the development of these tumors at this age remain a mystery. We present the case of a young patient of 13 years old, followed for squamous cell carcinoma of the right piriform sinus, with contralateral synchronous tonsil localization, and right lateral cervical lymphadenopathy fixed at 5 cm. In the absence of existing guidelines on the management of this type of location at this age, a multi-disciplinary meeting was necessary to decide on the management of this difficult case at this age.</p>

Tumors located in the maxillofacial part of the body were classified by WHO in 2017 and among these are intraosseous form of fibromatosis known as Desmoplastic and Cemento-ossifying fibromas. These tumors usually occur in the head and neck region, especially in the mandible and are relatively rare in the maxilla. Meanwhile, this study aims to discribe a rare case of the cemento ossifying fibroma that had been previously diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma with a mass tumor in the anterior of the maxilla. A 22 years old female reported to the Cipto Mangkusumo Hospital with the main complaint of a lump in the right side of the upper jaw which appeared 2 years prior to the operation. In April 2017, the patient had a biopsy in Tarakan Hospital and the result was a desmoplastic fibroma. Due to the lump enlargement, the patient was admitted to RSCM in July 2019 and had biopsy incision with a diagnosis of cemento ossifying fibroma which was confirmed by the histopathological examination and histology report. The resection of the right part of maxilla was conducted alongside with reconstruction using the free fibular flap. Moreover, cemento ossifying fibroma and desmoplastic fibroma shared similar features, namely, clinical, histological and radiological features which are important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of patient. Hence, extensive enucleation or resection is required due to the progressive nature of the tumor to prevent the potential for further recurrences.

we report a case of 51 year old lady, presented with complaints of hard lump in the right breast.On clinical examination lump of size 4x3cms in outer lower quadrant was noted. Ultrasonographic imaging showed evidence of 3x2cms ill dened hypoechoic lesion with spiculated margins and microcalcications. Trucut biopsy was done and histopathological report was given as Suspicious for malignancy which was followed by modied radical mastectomy with axillary clearance. Histopathological examination and Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was done.

Mixed neuroendocrine nonneuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) are rare neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, where the neuroendocrine as well as the nonneuroendocrine components each comprise at least 30% of the tumor. Of all cases of colorectal malignancies, MiNENs constitute around 3–9.6%, with only a few cases reported to be arising in the cecum. Since majority present with nonspecific clinical and radiological findings, its diagnosis preoperatively is almost impossible and these are usually diagnosed after histopathological examination of the resected specimen. Owing to the rarity of these tumors as well as lack of complete molecular characterization, optimal treatment remains unestablished. We, here, report a rare case of MiNENs of the cecum infiltrating the right psoas muscle and presenting with perforation for which right hemicolectomy and en bloc excision of the involved psoas muscle was done followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

We report a case of a pleomorphic xantoastrocytoma which manifested itself as a cystic isodense lesion in the right fronto-temporal lobe in a 26 year-old woman. It appeared as a soft yellow tumor with cystic cavities on surgery. Five months after this surgery, the patient was submitted to a new operation, which revealed a friable tumor, easily differentiated from the normal parenchyma, with cystic components. The histopathological examination demonstrated pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with malignant transformation. Histologically, the tumor at first procedure was composed of pleomorphic astrocytes with multinucleated and foamy cells. A rare case of malignant transformation in pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma is presented, discussed and illustrated in this paper.

AbstractA rare case of pharyngeal cyst arising from the second branchial cleft in a 14-year-old boy is described. A cyst located in the right posterolateral wall of the oropharynx was completely removed by an intraoral approach. Histopathological examination revealed that the cyst was lined with columnar (respiratory type) epithelium.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) usually happens in diabetes. It is reported a correlation between the Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) with diabetes. This is a rare case of PEN and RCC in diabetes which occur simultaneously. We present a case of 51 year old male referred with right ?ank mass and medical history of diabetic disease. Renal ultrasound revealed a solid tumor at the upper pole of the right kidney. Plain abdominal X-ray showed a lot of gas, fecal material, and patches of  alcifcation in the right upper abdomen. On abdominal computed tomography found a collection of gas located in the upper right abdomen. An irregular solid tumor detected at the upper pole of the right kidney. The tumors was obtained at surgery and  emphysematous pyelonephritis was found and then nephrectomy performed. Histopathological examination revealed a Renal Cell Carcinoma besides emphysematous pyelonephritis. The patient had no postoperative serious complications during his hospital stay and his symptoms resolved completely. We report the rare case with an occurrence of EPN and RCC simultaneously in diabetes.

Angiofibromas are highly vascular, locally aggressive but histologically benign tumors. A 40-year-old woman complaint of pedunculated mass in the right gingiva of the posterior region since 7 months earlier. Surgical excisional biopsy under general anesthesia was performed. Histopathological examination showed an angiofibroma. Angiofibromas are localized in the superficial soft tissue and the gingiva could have a similar clinical appearance as an epulis. Definitive diagnosis was determined through histopathological analysis.

Swellings of the head and neck region present great difficulty in accurate diagnosis as well as proper management. Swelling associated with the maxilla and mandible has a tendency to be provisionally diagnosed as orofacial space infections, which is the most common cause for acute swelling in this region. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasonogram and computed tomography can be used in supporting diagnosis. It usually occurs due to the process of lymphocyte-induced cystic ductular dilatation and the confirmatory diagnosis is always made postoperatively by histopathological examination. The mainstay in the treatment of a lymphoepithelial cyst remains the surgical approach, which includes complete enucleation of the cyst along with total excision of the involved salivary gland. Here we present an interesting case of swelling in the right submandibular region which was provisionally diagnosed as submandibular space infection, but later proven histopathologically as a lymphoepithelial cyst of the submandibular gland.
