We report an interesting case of maxillary sinus pneumocele that presented with aesthetic deformity and completely treated with Caldwell-Luc approach and thoroughly review all of the past literature focusing on clinical symptoms and surgical approach. Based on our comprehensive review of maxillary sinus pneumocele, we found 2 important characteristics. First, maxillary sinus pneumocele may be asymptomatic but cause various symptoms owing to the displacement of neighboring structures, such as facial symptoms, eye symptoms, and nasal obstruction. Second, there is no standard operation technique for maxillary sinus pneumocele, but surgical approach should be individualized depending on patient’s symptoms and needs. Therefore, more case studies are needed to confirm this.

AbstractHemangioma is a benign neoplasm that may affect the vulva, and it can cause functional or emotional disability. This article reports the case of a 52-year-old female patient with a history of a genital ulcer for the past 3 years and who had undergone various treatments with creams and ointments. The patient was biopsied and diagnosed with vulvar hemangioma and was subsequently submitted to surgical excision of the lesion. We emphasize the importance of following the steps of the differential diagnosis and proceeding with a surgical approach only if necessary.

Over the past five decades, the incidence of intravenous drug use- (IVDU-) associated infective endocarditis (IE) has been on the rise in North America. Classically, IVDU has been thought to affect right-sided valves. However, in recent times a more variable presentation of IVDU-associated IE has been reported. Here, we report a case of a patient with a known history of IVDU who presented with clinical symptoms concerning for right- as well as left-sided endocarditis. In addition, we also discuss what should be considered adequate evaluation for patients with suspected endocarditis, and more specifically, what should be the role of transesophageal echocardiography in patients with IE noted on transthoracic echocardiography.

AbstractObjective:To report an extremely rare and interesting case of a woman who developed a laryngeal stone.Case report:A 44-year-old woman was referred to our ENT clinic complaining of dyspnoea and stridor. She had been treated for chest problems for approximately 30 years. On examination, she had a large, spiky, subglottic lesion compromising the airway. A laryngeal computed tomography scan and histopathological and biochemical examination showed the lesion to be a calcium phosphate stone. Review of the literature from the past 50 years, using several search engines, revealed no similar cases.Conclusion:To the author's knowledge, this is a unique case of a stone that developed in the subglottis. This rare entity was the cause of long-standing chest problems unresponsive to medical treatment. The patient recovered completely from all her symptoms after removal of the laryngolith.

With this case report, we emphasize the unique fact that chest pain and discomfort in COVID-19 infected patient can be due to other causes and it should not be overlooked. The SARS-CoV-2 is a novel strain of coronavirus, the homo-sapiens have recently been attacked in a large number. Common clinical symptoms of COVID-19 patients infected include high grade fever, weakness, dry cough, breathlessness and chest pain with discomfort. We are presenting a case report of covid-19 infected patient having chief complaints of chest pain and discomfort. The patient was evaluated using computed tomography imaging and- Achalasia cardia was diagnosed and needful was done. It should be noted that multiple conditions can co-exist along with COVID-19 infection for which proper and complete evaluation needs to be done keeping other possibilities in mind.

Introduction. Ameloblastomas are clinically the most important type of odontogenic tumors. Solid or multicystic form most commonly affects mandible, it is highly aggressive and shows high rates of recurrence. The aim was to report aggressive behavior of a rare maxillary solid ameloblastoma, emphasizing the clinical, tomographic and histological aspects. Case Report. A young and asymptomatic patient, presenting a solid ameloblastoma initially located in the maxillary sinus with rapid spreading to the adjacent tissues, had early recurrence despite radical surgical approach. Conclusion. Multicystic or solid ameloblastoma has lower incidence in maxilla and extremely aggressive behavior, justifying careful follow-up of the patients.

The pancreas is an exocrine and endocrine organ that is related to the stomach, duodenum, colon and spleen. Fatty degeneration of the pancreas is common with aging. The entire pancreas may be replaced by fat and the patient may have no clinical symptoms. We here presented a case of a 28 years old male known case of type 2 diabetes diagnosed 3 months back, who was admitted to our hospital for diffuse abdominal pain for the past 2 months, which was non-colicky in nature associated with nausea, anorexia, diarrhea and generalized weakness, no aggravating or relieving factors. With this scenario, he was investigated further for abdominal pain and found to have pancreatic lipomatosis.

ABSTRACT Purpose The authors intend to present a case of osteosarcoma of the maxilla which presented like a mucocele, a previously unreported phenomenon. Patients and methods Clinical features, radiology, histopathological findings and endoscopically managed osteosarcoma of the maxilla are presented. Diagnostic difficulties and previously reported diagnostic dilemmas related to osteosarcomas of the maxillary sinus are discussed. Results The patient has been on regular follow-up for the past 10 months, and is free from any local or systemic disease. Conclusion Though osteosarcoma of the maxilla is a rare tumor about 6.5% of all osteosarcomas1, patients tend to be in the late-third to mid-fourth decades of life, a high index of suspicion and aggressive management can reduce the morbidity that goes with the management of this condition.

Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS) is a rare cause of neonate nasal obstruction. Because newborns are natural nasal breathers, urgent treatment may be needed. CNPAS is diagnosed by clinical symptoms and signs, and CT. In severe cases, surgical approach is needed. The most often used approach is widening of pyriform aperture via sublabial incision with nasal tubing. We report a novel surgical approach as a curative treatment for CNPAS by immediate transverse enlargement of the maxilla. We also review current literature of the condition focusing on surgical management of the disease.
