Histology And Immunohistochemistry

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.

Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma

Introduction Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the nasal cavity is a rare tumor, and here we describe the first case of EMC of the nasal cavity presenting with epiphora. A case presentation and review of the literature is provided. Methods A case report is described of a 63-year-old man who presented with unilateral epiphora and was found via a thorough history and physical examination to have a nasal tumor. The physical examination consisted of an ocular examination, including probing and irrigation, and a detailed nasal examination (anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy). The nasal examination was prompted by the patient's report of concurrent nasal symptoms during history taking. Immunohistochemistry subsequently identified the nasal tumor as EMC. A literature search was performed to gain insights into similar malignancies of the nasal cavity. Results Eight cases of EMC of the nasal cavity were identified in the literature, none of the patients presented with epiphora. The case presented here resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms and no evidence of disease after surgical excision. Conclusion Epithelial myoepithelial is a rare salivary gland malignancy that can arise in the nasal cavity. Unilateral epiphora with concurrent nasal symptoms should prompt nasal cavity examination for the possibility of an obstructive tumor.

Glomus Body

The glomangioma is one of a group of benign tumors of glomus body origin. Commonly found in the distal extremities, they may present with pain, tenderness to palpation, and sensitivity to temperature. Histologically, varying proportions of glomus cells, as well as vascular and smooth muscle elements, are found. Complete surgical excision is usually curative. We report on a glomangioma of the ankle in a 12-year-old male patient that simulated injury to the flexor hallucis longus tendon.

Introduction Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumour arising from embryonic white fat been commonly noted in limbs and trunk, but tongue involvement is rare and has not yet been reported. Case Report A child with tongue lipoblastoma is reported, whose imaging reported an encapsulated, well-delineated, fat-containing tumour. Surgical excision was performed with no post-operative morbidities.  Discussion Lipoblastoma is an uncommon childhood tumour, which rarely affects the tongue. It presents as a progressive painless swelling, rarely causing any symptom. MRI is helpful to assess the precise location and extent of the lesion. Although the ratio of fat to myxocollagenous tissue in the tumour is variable, the diagnosis can be suggested in most cases based on the imaging characteristics. Recommended treatment is complete surgical excision and confirmation of diagnosis by histopathological examination.

<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>

Abstract OBJECTIVE We describe an intraosseous angiolipoma of the cranium and discuss the outcome. Angiolipomas are benign tumors that consist of mature adipose tissue and abnormal vessels. They occur predominantly in the subcutaneous tissue of the trunk and upper limbs. Only 4 examples of intraosseous angiolipomas have been reported in the literature, all of which involved the mandible and ribs. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 39-year-old man presented with a right parietal swelling. The patient initially refused surgery; thus it was possible to follow this case for 11 years, allowing us to evaluate the natural history of this rare condition. INTERVENTION Complete surgical excision of the intraosseous lesion was achieved with a titanium cranioplasty performed at intervals. Fifteen months after surgery, no recurrence was seen. CONCLUSION This is the first known report of intraosseous angiolipoma of the cranium. Angiolipomas are rare, benign, slow-growing tumors with an excellent prognosis. On preoperative neuroimaging, they may mimic intraosseous angiomas, lipomas, or intraosseous meningiomas. Total resection is curative.

Juvenile Angiofibroma

A 10-year-old boy presented with left-sided nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Endoscopic evaluation revealed a polypoid mass in the vestibule arising from the lateral wall of the nasal cavity anteroinferior to the left inferior turbinate. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a soft tissue opacity in the vestibule of the left nasal cavity. After the endoscopic excision of the mass, postoperative and histopathological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of an angiofibroma.

ABSTRACT Schwannomas are slow growing, encapsulated, solitary, benign tumors. They can arise from any myelinated nerve as they are tumors of neural sheath Schwann cells. Schwannoma seen in head and neck region are most commonly found in tongue, floor of mouth but rarely in oropharynx and tonsils. They are usually asymptomatic and rarely undergo malignant transformation. Schwannomas are considered radioresistant and recure less frequently after complete excision. Hence, complete surgical excision is treatment of choice. We are presenting a case of elderly female with oropharyngeal schwannoma completely extirpated transorally by dissection method by cold instruments. Due to rarity of presentation the surgical approach to this lesion is not well established. Following surgery the raw area created was well epithelized and patient relieved symptoms without significant morbidity. We conclude that this is a cost-effective and simple approach for management of other similar cases in future.

Neurovascular Structures

Glomus tumors, also known as paragangliomas and chemodectomas, of head and neck are slow growing benign tumors with relatively good prognosis. The term Glomus is misnomer as it arises from paraganglions. Due to their critical location at the skull base, these tumors may have significant morbidity and mortality if not identified and managed in time. The common extra adrenal sites in head and neck are carotid body, jugular foramen, middle ear and the vagus nerve. The term glomus jugulotympanicum is used when the tumor crosses the distinction of being confined either to middle ear or the jugular foramen. Management aims at early detection and complete surgical excision preserving surrounding vital neurovascular structures as far as possible. Larger tumors in advanced stage may not be amenable to complete surgical excision.
