Rhabdomyoma is a benign tumor that comes from skeletal tissue, it is classified as cardiac and extracardiac according to the location. Extracardiac rhabdomyomas most frequently originate in the head and neck at the larynx and pharynx, being the parapharyngeal space an exceptional location. We present the clinical case of an 86-year-old man asymptomatic patient with a laterocervical mass with years of evolution, that has increased its size progressively, with dysphagia and dyspnea on exertion in the last years. CT and MRI were requested, which provided dimensions, location at the parapharyngeal space, as well as signs of benignity. The FNA results indicated that it was a mesenchymal tumor. After cervicotomy and histological study, the diagnosis of parapharyngeal space rhabdomyoma was confirmed. We conducted a bibliographic review of this extremely rare benign tumor at the head and neck level.

Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor that occurs primarily in children younger than 3 years of age. Fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literature, and only eight cases have been previously reported in the head and neck; two of them occurred in the parotid region, where the differential diagnosis becomes quite extensive. We report a new case of head and neck lipoblastoma—one that occurred in the parapharyngeal space, a site that has not been previously reported. By doing so, we hope to promote awareness and consideration of lipoblastoma in the differential diagnosis of deep-parotid and para-pharyngeal-space neoplasms.

Rare Benign Tumor

Inverted transitional cell papilloma (Schneider papilloma), a rare benign tumor, accounts for about 0.5% of all neoplasms of the nose. Usually unilateral, recurrences of the tumor can occur after 5-10 years. The clinical case testifi es to the gigantic size of the neoplasm, the germination of the inverted papilloma into the paranasal sinuses, the malignancy of the process and the metastasis of the tumor, which was not previously described. The main treatment for preventing recurrence is radical surgery, possibly with ligation of the external carotid artery.

Background Lobular capillary hemangioma is a rare benign tumor, most frequently located in the head or neck region, the nasal cavity being uncommonly affected. Its etiopathogenesis is not fully established, although traumatic and hormonal factors have been implied. Case Description A 50-year-old female patient underwent an uneventful endoscopic transsphenoidal removal of a pituitary cystic macroadenoma at our institution. Nasal packing was used in postoperative hemostasis. Histopathology was compatible with a gonadotrophin-producing adenoma. One month after the surgery, the patient presented with frequent episodes of epistaxis and a progressively growing nasal mass, which was removed endoscopically. Its pathological examination confirmed a lobular capillary hemangioma. Conclusions The authors present a clinical case combining two possible predisposing factors to the development of a nasal lobular capillary hemangioma: local traumatic injury through surgery and postoperative nasal packing and hormonal influence. This lesion is a rare complication of endoscopic transsphenoidal resections of pituitary adenomas.

Parapharyngeal Tumor

Background: Parapharyngeal space tumors account for some 0.5% of tumors of the head and neck, most ofthem benign. The most common benign neoplasms are salivary gland neoplasm, paragangliomas and followed byneurogenic tumors. The importance of these tumors lies mainly in two aspects, the difficulty of early diagnosis,due to the lack of symptoms in the initial stages and, on the other hand, the extreme risk of complications inperforming surgery in the parapharyngeal region. Purpose: We present this case to enlighten generalpractitioners and also otorhinolaryngologist about diagnosis and management of parapharyngeal tumor. Case:One clinical case of neuroendocrine tumor in parapharyngeal space on a 37 years old man. Management: Thepatient underwent diagnosis procedure and extirpation of the tumor mass. Conclusion: Parapharyngeal tumor isone of head and neck tumors that has good prognosis, especially if diagnosed early and adequately treated.Keywords: neuroendocrine tumor, parapharyngeal space, benign tumor.ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Tumor parafaring meliputi sekitar 0,5% dari seluruh tumor kepala dan leher, sebagianbesar jinak. Tumor jinak yang paling sering adalah tumor kelenjar liur, paraganglioma dan tumor neurogenik.Tumor parafaring ini penting disebabkan sulit untuk melakukan diagnosis dini karena sedikitnya gejala padatahap awal dan kemungkinan komplikasi yang dapat terjadi pada saat dilakukan tindakan bedah di daerahparafaring. Tujuan: Kasus ini diajukan agar para dokter umum dan spesialis Telinga Hidung Tenggorok dapatmengenali diagnosis dan penatalaksanaan tumor parafaring. Kasus: Dilaporkan satu kasus tumorneuroendokrin parafaring pada laki-laki usia 37 tahun. Penatalaksanaan: Pada pasien ini dilakukan proseduruntuk mendiagnosis tumor dan dilakukan ekstirpasi massa tumor. Kesimpulan: Tumor parafaring merupakansalah satu dari tumor kepala dan leher yang mempunyai prognosis baik terutama bila didiagnosis secara dinidan diterapi secara adekuat.Kata kunci: Tumor neuroendokrin, spatium parafaring, tumor jinak.

Introduction. Rhabdomyomas of the head and neck are exceptionally rare benign mesenchymal tumors. Rare cases have been reported to involve other sites of the body including the head and neck regions.Case Presentation. We report a case of voluminous extracardiac adult rhabdomyoma affecting adult patients and initially seen as slowly growing, indolent neoplasms. The patient is a seventy-year old male Italian patient.Conclusion. Adult extracardiac rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor that may present with symptoms that vary from aerodigestive tract obstruction to remaining asymptomatic for many years. Although histology is very characteristic, several differential diagnoses have to be considered. To our knowledge, this is the first case of voluminous adult-type symptomless rhabdomyoma.

Objectives: Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that is seldom localized to the head and neck. Rarer still are cases of functional ganglioneuroma with catecholamine production. We report an unusual case of a large parapharyngeal space ganglioneuroma in a patient with neurofibromatosis that caused an intraoperative hypertensive crisis in the absence of a neuroblastomatous component — Hitherto an undocumented complication. Methods: We present a case of functional parapharyngeal ganglioneuroma and review the clinicopathologic and biochemical features of these rare tumors. Results: Fewer than 40 anecdotal cases of parapharyngeal ganglioneuromas have been reported, and there is a lack of ade quate literature on the biology and appropriate treatment approach of these tumors. Conclusions: Our case illustrates the importance of vigilant preoperative precautions in the management of neurogenic tumors, particularly ganglioneuromas. These usually nonfunctional tumors can result in sudden intraoperative and postoperative hypertensive crises even in the absence of any preoperative autonomic symptoms.

Rare Benign Tumor

We report a rare case of a parotid oncocytoma in a 63-year-old woman. It is a rare benign tumor accounting for less than 1.5% of all salivary gland tumors. It is known as the parotid mitochondrioma because it is made of cells rich in mitochondria with granular cytoplasm. It is a rare entity poorly documented in the literature, and there are no pathognomonicsymptoms or imaging, which makes the diagnosis of this tumor challenging.Surgery is the main treatment, and the diagnosis is confirmed by the histological study of the specimen. Through this observation, and in light of the literature, we will underline the anatomoclinical and radiological peculiarities of this tumor, to induce clinicians to consider this histological type.

Rare Benign Tumor

The chondroid syringoma is a rare benign tumor, also called mixed cutaneous tumor by the presence of epithelial and mesenchymal components, consisting of sweat elements in cartilaginous, collagenous, myxoid or osseous stroma, among others. It mainly affects middle-aged men and is characterized by asymptomatic and slowgrowing, dermal or subcutaneous nodules. The most common locations are the head and neck. It is rare on the extremities. There are reports of malignant variants predominantly in women, located on the extremities. We report a case of a female patient with a lesion on the toe, with excellent outcome after surgical treatment.
