Rare Case Report

Schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath tumour that originates from schwann cells of the peripheral nerve. In spite of constituting 25-40% of head and neck tumours its in-traoral presentation is rare which accounts for only 1%. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the rarity of this lesion, to emphasize the significance of an accurate diagnosis and to include tumours of nerve sheath origin in the differential diagnosis of facial asymmetry.

ABSTRACT Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are benign, encapsulated tumor arising from nerve sheath cells. Intracranial Schwannomas are most common with rare occurrence in the extracranial region. It rarely occurs in the floor of the mouth with very few cases reported. We present a rare case report of Schwannoma of the floor of the mouth, thereby highlighting the consideration of this rare entity as one of the differential diagnosis in cases who present to us with swelling of the floor of the mouth and also the importance of immunohistochemistry in coming to the diagnosis.

Demyelinating Disorders

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are autoimmune demyelinating disorders of the peripheral and central nervous systems, respectively. The co-occurrence of these 2 conditions is rare in the literature. Herein, we present a rare case of GBS and MS in a 19-year-old female who presented initially with GBS followed by MS, and we provide a literature review. Despite being rare, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients with atypical and usual presentation of both diseases.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. Here, we report a case of 64 year old male patient with PG on midline of the dorsum of the posterior third of the tongue. Its differential diagnosis, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis and about the new approaches for its treatment is discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10619Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 84-86
