Culture Negative

Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) can present in a number of ways, making it difficult to diagnose. It most commonly presents as scrofuloderma, which commonly affects the supra-clavicular region, axilla and the cervical region. All the different presentations of cutaneous TB should be known to clinicians, in order to diagnose it early. The objective of this article is to describe a case of scrofuloderma presenting with different cutaneous lesions at the same time, which were culture negative. We present a 23-year-old male with no known co-morbidities, presenting to us with fever and multiple swellings on the body. Cultures of pus and blood were negative for TB; GeneXpert detected the microorganism. Cutaneous TB, although a rare disease with wide spectrum of cutaneous lesions, should be considered in differential diagnosis of cold abscesses and nodules, especially of the head and neck region.

Important Differential Diagnosis

An osseous choristoma is a benign tumor consisting of regular bone tissue in an irregular localization. Choristomas in the head and neck region are rare. Most frequently, they are found in the region of the tongue or oral mucosa. There are also very few reports on osseous choristomas in the submandibular region. We present the case of a woman with a large, caudal osseous choristoma within the lateral cervical triangle. Literature review is given about all of the reported cases in the region of the neck. The pathogenesis is yet unexplained. Our case supports the theory that the development of an osseous choristoma is a reaction to a former trauma. Cervical osseous choristomas are seldom, but they represent an important differential diagnosis when dealing with a cervical tumor.

Abnormal Accumulation

Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare disorder which usually associated with enlargement various superficial or deep lymph nodes. Clinical course of this disease is prolonged with exacerbation and remission phases occasionally. Over-production and accumulation of a specific type of white blood cell called histiocyte occurred in the lymph nodes of the body, mostly on the the neck. Other lymph node groups and in some cases, extra nodal abnormal accumulation of histiocytes may occur in other areas of the body that is more common in the head and neck region. Here we discussed a patient with extra-nodal involvement who presented with bilateral orbital mass.

AbstractIntroduction:Acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis typically occurs as a result of surgery or irradiation of the nasopharynx. Sarcoidosis has numerous manifestations in the head and neck region, although an association with nasopharyngeal stenosis has not previously been reported.Case report:A 40-year-old man with sarcoidosis developed severe acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis. This was successfully managed with balloon dilatation, followed by pharyngoplasty with local pharyngeal flap reconstruction.Conclusion:This report is intended to prompt consideration of nasopharyngeal stenosis as a potential cause of nasal obstruction in patients with sarcoidosis, and to draw attention to the need to consider sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of patients with acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis. We also demonstrate the viability of pharyngoplasty in the management of nasopharyngeal stenosis in the setting of sarcoidosis.

Teratoid Cyst

Rudolf Virchow is considered to be the first scientist to have used the word sebaceous cyst. It was thought that these lesions occurred due to retention of sebaceous secretion consequent to obstruction of sebaceous ducts of sebaceous glands, although that was found not to be the case. In all these cysts, the cavity is filled with keratin. There are six types of keratin-filled cysts, namely, epidermoid, dermoid, teratoid, keratinous, trichilemmal, and teratoma cyst, which have one common name “dermoid cyst.” Of the six, teratoid cyst is the least common. In contrast to other dermoid cysts, teratoid cysts contain tissue elements derived from all the three germ layers, namely, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Teratomas can be differentiated from teratoid cysts by the fact that recognizable organ structures may be found in the former; examples include teeth and skin. Teratoid cysts can develop anywhere in the body but rarely arise in the head and neck region. They have never been reported in the postauricular region. In this case report, we present a case of teratoid cyst in the postauricular region in a 21-year-old female. The significance of this case lies in its rarity.

Diagnostic Modalities

Lipomas are very common benign lumps that can be encountered in any part of the body but a small proportion present in the head and neck region. In this case report we have discussed the diagnosis and surgical treatment of an asymptomatic huge lipoma of left cheek. The patient had this swelling present for the last 5 years. Initially there was a slight increase in the size of the swelling but since the last 3 years there is no change in size. There was no history of associated pain and tenderness. The patient had esthetic concerns because of which the lesion was excised. These lipomas continue to grow slowly, showing variable signs including dysphagia, dyspnea, and dysphonia due to the compressing effect on surrounding structures. It can also be a matter of cosmetic concern. With this case report, authors will also highlight the diagnostic modalities and treatment for lipomas occurring in unusual areas in the body. It is a rare finding that occurs anterior to parotid but can be treated successfully by current surgical approach.Key Words:, ,

High Output

The incidence of arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) is quite rare in the head and neck region comprising less than 4% of all the traumatic AVF encountered elsewhere in the body. A 42-year-old man presented with a palpable thrill in the cervical region and headache. He had a shotgun injury 10 years ago and had no problem until the previous three months. Diagnosis of a high output traumatic AVF between right common carotid artery and internal jugular vein was made arteriographically. Presence of a neighbouring traumatic aneurysm on the common carotid artery and 9 mm diameter of the fistula tractus suggested open surgery. At the operation ligation of the tractus and aneurysmorraphy was performed and the patient was discharged in the third postoperative day. He has still no problem. This case documented that a shotgun injury even 10 years later may result with an AVF.

Hydatid disease is caused by the parasitic tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. This parasite in the larval stage can thrive in many parts of the body, most commonly in the liver and the lungs. Hydatid disease in the head and neck region is rare. An unusual location for hydatid disease in the thyroid gland is presented. The patient did not have other cysts postoperatively. The authors state the diagnostic difficulties caused by the omission of sonography during the diagnostic approach.

Background: Lipoma is a benign tumor composed of mature white adipocytes and it is the most common soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasm. It is well separated from the surrounding tissues by a thin fibrous capsule. Lipomas occur in any part of the body that has fat tissues. 13% of such tumors are seen in the head and neck region. Angiofibrolipoma is a variant of lipoma with a prominent vascular component: Angiofibrolipoma is a subtype of lipoma composed of fibrocytes, capillaries and mature adipocytes. These tumors occur in the forearm, followed by trunk and in the extremities of young individuals. Its occurrence is very rare in the head and neck region. They are benign tumors that cause symptoms depending on their size and location. It is important to bear in mind this clinical entity in the differential diagnosis of the swellings that arise in relation to the tendon sheath. Patient and method: A patient with a recurrent swelling in the right wrist region was taken up for surgery with a clinical diagnosis of a fibrous tumor. Result: Histopathological diagnosis revealed the tumor as a rare variant of lipoma. Conclusion: This report highlights the fact that angiofibrolipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of swellings in different regions of the body. Keywords: Angiofibrolipoma, Tendon sheath, Synovial membrane, Soft tissue tumors.

Mesenchymal Neoplasms

Connective tissue neoplasms or soft tissue tumours as they are popularly called are mesenchymal neoplasms that affect any part of the body. They occur frequently in all organs including the head and neck region and the oral cavity is no exception. The frequency of their occurrence contributes to 15 - 20 % of all head and neck neoplasms and neoplasms of oral cavity form 1 - 4 % of the reported lesions,1,2 representing 2.2 % of all lipomas.3 In a study by Moreno SE et al. in 2016 the most frequently affected sites were the buccal mucosa followed by the lips, tongue, palate, and other areas of the oral cavity.4Here we are documenting a case occurring in the buccal mucosa.
