<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Malignant neoplasms of the nose and paranasal sinuses are rare and account for 3% of malignancies involving head and neck region. Maxillary sinus is the commonest area affected and squamous cell carcinoma is the commonest malignancy reported. Due to nonspecific clinical features, late presentations and poor accessibility tumours in these areas are both therapeutically and diagnostically challenging. Data about maxillary sinus tumours, especially from Karaikal are lacking. This prospective hospital-based study was conducted to determine the common benign and malignant tumours affecting the maxilla, their epidemiology and to analyse their clinical presentations.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Relevant epidemiological and clinical details were collected for all the patients with maxillary tumours and thorough clinical evaluation was performed. CT scan of head and neck region and histopathological examination of the lesion was carried out. All the details were tabulated and percentages were calculated for comparison and analysis.  </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">During two years period of the study 44 patients with tumours affecting the maxilla were detected, 32 (72%) being benign and 12 (27%) malignant. Incidence of both benign and malignant tumours was highest in the 51-60 years age group with male preponderance. Squamous cell carcinoma (58.33%) was the most common malignant histological variant found while inverted papilloma with squamous epithelium (62.5%) was the most common benign histological variant. In TNM staging, 42% patients had T4 and the remaining were T3 and T2. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">In Karaikal region, inverted papilloma with squamous epithelial lining and squamous cell carcinoma are the commonest benign and malignant tumours of maxilla respectively. Although clinical manifestations of both benign and malignant lesions overlap, certain features like facial pain, cheek swelling, loosening of teeth which were found only in association with carcinoma should warrant thorough evaluation.</span></p>

ABSTRACT Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus. The disease is endemic in the Middle East, the South Asia and South America. The larvae usually cause cystic lesions in the lung and liver. Hydatid cysts are known to affect the head and neck region. The presence of this cyst in the maxillary sinus is extremely rare and should be suspected in cases presenting from endemic countries.

Mesenchymal Neoplasm

Fibromyxosarcoma is extremely rare in the head and neck region. This mesenchymal neoplasm is locally aggressive with rapid growth and destruction of tissue but with limited metastatic potential. Histologically, it consists of fibrous and myxomatous elements that can create confusion and uncertainty in the diagnosis.

Introduction: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a very rare malignancy. EMP is highly radiosensitive. Local disease control can be obtained by administering a dose of 45–50 Gy. Relatively rarely, in less than 20% of cases, a progression of EMP to the systemic form of multiple myeloma (MM) may be observed. Material/Methods: This paper presents a retrospective analysis of 5 patients with EMP of the head and neck region, treated in 2009–2016 with the use of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). In three of the five patients, the tumor was located in the larynx; in one case, it was located in the nasopharynx and one in the maxillary sinus. All patients were qualified for definitive radiotherapy using the IMRT technique. Two patients with EMP located in the nasopharynx and in the maxillary sinus, with tumor sizes of 10 cm and 8 cm, respectively, received induction systemic treatment to improve the anatomical conditions for the planned radiotherapy and to reduce associated radiation doses in critical organs. Results: The effect of radiotherapy with modulation of beam intensity on local, regional and remote control in patients with EMP of the head and neck region was analyzed. The median of the dose used was 50 Gy. During the observation period of maximum 29 months (median: 26 months), all patients (100%) remained without disease recurrence and progression to the MM. Conclusion: IMRT leads to very good results in the form of local and regional control in patients with EMP of head and neck region. Based on the discussion, which is not a direct result of the study, in cases of extensive tumor mass or close proximity of critical organs, it seems justified to use inductive systemic treatment.

Head And Neck Region

Abstract Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic, inflammatory, benign disorder endemic to Asia that typically manifests as a triad of painless masses in the head and neck region, elevated eosinophils and serum immunoglobulin. It usually affects young men in their second and third decades of life and is rarely seen outside of the orient. This is a report of a case of KD in a young man of African descent who presented with a cheek mass. KD was not included in our differential diagnosis, and this report highlights the need to consider this entity, which can be easily missed due to its rarity in the Western world. There is no cure for the disease, and management includes medical and surgical modalities, but local recurrence or relapse is not uncommon.

Abstract Primary extranodal lymphoma is defined as a lymphoma at a solitary extranodal site, with or without involvement of the lymph nodes. The clinical and radiological features of extranodal lymphoma have been documented in recent studies. In this pictorial essay, we reviewed imaging findings of extranodal lymphoma in the head and neck region.
