Sarcomatous Degeneration

Malignant degeneration in a juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma has been reported in the literature in only four patients. All of these persons had been previously treated for cure with gamma irradiation. The case report of a 47-year-old man with a 31-year history of nasal obstruction is presented. A recurrence excised 18 months after initial removal of an angiofibroma revealed the surprising diagnosis of fibrosarcoma.

Squamous Cell Papilloma

This case report of a 20-year-old white woman is the youngest patient with a documented squamous cell carcinoma in a solitary nonirradiated laryngeal papilloma. It is rare for malignant degeneration of solitary squamous cell papilloma to occur in a patient under the age of 40. This case is also unique in that most solitary laryngeal papilloma with or without neoplasm occur in males. Most reported malignant neoplasms in squamous papilloma have been previously treated with irradiation. Because approximately 2% to 3% of solitary laryngeal papilloma have malignant neoplasms, adequate biopsy of the lesion and thorough histologic examination must always be done.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign vascular neoplasm, but it is locally aggressive. This accounts for less than 0.5% of all the neoplasm in the head & neck region in the male population only. Here we report a case of 10-year-old boy with a blackish red smooth polypoidal mass in the nasal cavity, with history of recurrent epistaxis. On physical examination it was suspected as nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. We removed it totally by lateral rhinotomy approach. And the diagnosis was nasopharyngeal angiofibroma on histopathology.

AbstractBackground:Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is a benign, vascular tumour that primarily occurs in adolescent males. Despite its benign nature, aggressive growth patterns can cause potential life-threatening complications. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is normally unilateral, originating from the sphenopalatine artery, but bilateral symptoms can occur if a large tumour extends to the contralateral side of the nasopharynx. This paper presents the first reported case of true bilateral extensive juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma involving clinically challenging pre-surgical planning and surgical strategy.Case report:A 21-year-old male presented with increasing bilateral nasal obstruction and discharge. Examination revealed tumours bilaterally and imaging demonstrated non-contiguous tumours. Pre-operative angiography showed strictly ipsilateral vascular supplies requiring bilateral embolisation. Radical removal performed as one-step, computer-assisted functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed. The follow-up period was uncomplicated.Conclusion:This case illustrates the importance of suspecting bilateral juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma in patients presenting with bilateral symptoms. Our management, including successful pre-operative planning, enabled one-step total removal of both tumours and rapid patient recovery.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report successful marsupialization of a large Tornwaldt cyst using combined transnasal and transoral endoscopic surgery in a 7-year-old girl who presented with nasal obstruction. Methods:Design: Case ReportSetting: Tertiary Government Training HospitalPatient: One Result: A 7-year-old girl presented with an 11-month history of recurrent yellowish nasal discharge gradually associated with nasal obstruction. Examination revealed a large, well encapsulated, broad-based cystic mass in the nasopharynx immediately adjacent to the posterior choanae, continuing posterior to the soft palate (pushing the uvula anteriorly) and extending inferiorly to the epiglottic area. Computerized Tomography (CT) demonstrated a well-circumscribed, midline hypodense mass with fluid attenuation obstructing the nasopharyngeal area extending inferiorly to the oropharyngeal area. Endoscopic marsupialization via transnasal and transoral approach was successful, and a respiratory epithelium-lined cyst consistent with a Tornwaldt cyst was confirmed by  histopathologic examination Conclusion: Combined transnasal and transoral endoscopic marsupialization is possible a for a large symptomatic Tornwaldt cyst in a pediatric patient with relatively smaller and complex nasal cavities.

History Of

Concha bullosa (CB) is among the most common anatomic variations of sinonasal anatomy. Although usually asymptomatic, CB can occasionally cause nasal obstruction or headache. Obstructions within the mucociliary transport system can develop into a mucocele or mucopyocele. A 48-year-old female, with a history of progressive headache and nasal obstruction, was referred to our department. Paranasal sinus tomography revealed a nasal mass in the left nasal cavity resembling a mucopyocele in the middle turbinate. Under general anesthesia, the purulent material was aspirated, and the lateral part of the left turbinate was resected. Mucopyoceles are common within the paranasal sinuses, but uncommon with CB; thus, they should be considered in patients with a large hyperemic nasal mass.
