Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare condition characterized by abnormalities to ectodermal derived tissues although other organs or systems are frequently involved. Patients with HED can have a number of symptoms that may lead them to present to the otolaryngologist. We present a case of a 37-year-old female with HED who initially presented with nasal obstruction but then very rapidly developed stridor due to a tracheal squamous cell carcinoma. We suggest a possible association between HED and carcinoma of the upper respiratory tract that has not previously been reported.

Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The histology of this disease was first reported by Boeck in 1899. Since that time many reports of multiple organ involvement have been published. Symptoms relating to the upper respiratory tract are not uncommon. Nasal obstruction as the presenting and primary complaint in sarcoidosis however is a rare but important symptom as it may lead to the diagnosis of this treatable disease. We present three patients whose initial complaint of progressive nasal obstruction heralded the diagnosis of sarcoidosis upon further workup. The clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, histology, and management of nasal sarcoidosis are discussed.

General Area

Collision tumor is a rare condition in which two neoplasms (usually benign and malignant), both growing in the same general area, collide with each other and become intermingled. We present histopathology and imaging correlation of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis coexistent with squamous cell carcinoma and osteogenic sarcoma of the kidney.

Background. Lymphangioma is a rare venolymphatic lesion, characterized by dilation of lymphatic vessels. It may occur as an isolated lesion or, more often, represent the surface component of a deep orbital lymphangioma.Case. We report a case of a conjunctival lymphangioma on a 58-year-old male that had simultaneously an upper respiratory tract infection. Excision and biopsy confirmed the nature of the lesion, and there has been no relapse to date.Conclusion. Conjunctival lymphangioma is a rare condition in which the diagnose, must be kept in mind in patients with a red eye resistance to topical therapy and in association with an upper respiratory tract infection. Finally, it is also necessary to be aware of possible recurrence of the lesion.

A case of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) occurring in the tonsillar fossa as an ulcerating lesion with a neck mass is described. Other common occurrences of AML in the upper respiratory tract are discussed. This disease entity may be confused with squamous cell carcinoma on initial examination.
