A rare case of cavernous hemangioma of neck mimicking lipoma

Intramuscular hemangiomas of the head and neck are rare congenital vascular tumors and are sparsely reported. Hemangiomas account for approximately 7% of benign tumors and usually present as a mass that suddenly enlarges. Hemangiomas are mostly seen on the trunk and extremities, but can also appear on the head and neck region. A 28 year old female presented in OPD with 5x4 cm mass in Right posterior triangle of neck. CT scan showed 5x4x4 cm swelling in right posterior triangle involving sternocleidomastoid muscle. The mass was totally extracted by surgical intervention and pathological analysis revealed that it was a cavernous hemangioma. The patient’s neck movement returned to normal after surgery.

Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor with a thirteen percent incidence in head and neck region. Posterior triangle is the most common location while anterior neck lipoma is a rare one. Giant lipomas >10 cm have been reported in different parts of the body but rarely in the anterior neck. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. We here report a case of giant anterior neck lipoma in a 50 year old male managed surgically.

Rare Diagnosis

Schwannomas/ neurilemmomas are benign tumors of nerve sheath arising from Schwann cells that form myelin sheath around peripheral nerves. They are usually solitary, slow growing and encapsulated lesions. Head and neck are the common sites. We report a case of a 38 years old Nepalese female who had presented with a solitary asymptomatic, slow growing nodule on the left side of the chin for the last three years. Dermoscopy of the lesion revealed arborizing vessels with brownish pigmentation overlying a whitish to pinkish background. Complete excision of the lesion was performed. Histopathological evaluation of the lesion revealed schwannoma. Though schwannomas are a rare diagnosis, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis of any unilateral, asymptomatic, slow growing nodule in the head and neck region. Dermoscopy is a useful tool which helps to differentiate schwannoma from other lesions. Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis and the treatment of choice is surgical excision.

Hemangioma is a benign tumor of dilated blood vessels. It is most commonly seen in the head and neck region and rarely in the oral cavity. Hemangiomas in the oral cavity are always of clinical importance and require appropriate treatment. We report here a case of a 34-year-old female patient with a swelling on the lateral surface of tongue which did not respond to the sclerosing agent and was finally confirmed as cavernous hemangioma on histological evaluation.

Hypervascular Tumors

Abstract TO REVIEW THE literature on endovascular therapies available to clinicians to aid in the management of head, neck, and intracranial tumors. Hypervascular tumors of the head and neck region, as well as the intracranial region, are associated with large amounts of blood loss intraoperatively. Preoperative embolization of selected hypervascular tumors has been proposed in the literature as a method of reducing blood loss intraoperatively. This technique involves superselective catheterization of the feeding arteries to the tumor bed and then by infusion of embolic particles to saturate the tumor bed in the hopes of inducing necrosis. For less vascular tumors, selective infusion of chemotherapeutic agents has been reported as a method of reducing the systemic toxic effects of these medications. Endovascular therapies for hypervascular and less vascular tumors hold promise, although multicenter randomized controlled trials are required to help identify the patients that will benefit the most.

Split Thickness Skin Grafting

Introduction: Virchow first describes Myxomas in 1871; they are benign tumors of primitive indifferent mesenchyme that have preference for the cardiac muscles, genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, liver and spleen. The rarity of the tumor, especially in the head and neck region makes us to report this case. Case Report: A 16-year-old male secondary student who presented with a 9-year history of painless progressive submandibular swelling, no extension to the mouth. Examination revealed a huge fungating submandibular mass, 20 cm x 16 cm x10 cm in dimension, mobile, non-tender and firm in consistency. Other findings were unremarkable, and routine hematological and biochemical tests were all within normal limits. He subsequently had excision of the mass (weighs 950 g) under general anesthesia via an elective tracheostomy with split thickness skin grafting of the exposed strap muscles. Histopathological report revealed cutaneous myxoma. Conclusion: Cutaneous myxoma of the Head and Neck region is presented for its rarity, and although is a histologically benign neoplasm, treatment is extremely challenging with high incidence of recurrence.

Infancy And Childhood

Hemangiomas are benign tumors of infancy and childhood, characterized by a phase of fast growth with endothelial cell proliferation, occurring in 10-12% of children at 1 year of age. It is known that hemangiomas of infancy are most commonly located on the head and neck region (around 60% of cases) and occur more frequently in the lips, tongue, and palate. Approximately 50% of hemangiomas have complete resolution, and 90% of them are resolved up to the age of 9. Complications occur in only 20% of the cases, the most common problem being ulceration with or without infection. The treatment depends on lesion location, size and evolution stage, and the patient's age. Surgery is usually indicated when there is no response to systemic treatments, or even for esthetic reasons, being performed as a simple excision in combination or not with plastic surgery. This paper reports a case of lip cavernous hemangioma in a 4-year-old child, who was submitted to 3 sessions of vascular sclerosis due to the size of the lesion, before undergoing simple excision of the hemangioma. Two years of postoperative clinical follow-up shows treatment success with no recurrence of the lesion.

Intralesional Injections

Introduction Haemangiomas are common presentation in head and neck, prevalence being 60% followed by 25% and 15% respectively in trunk and limbs. This report studies the efficacy of Polidocanol as sclerosant in the treatment of heamangiomas in head and neck. Materials and Methods The two year prospective study conducted from January 2015 to December 2016 with Polidocanol as sclerosant on 55 patients attending the department of ENT. Intralesional injections of 3 % polidocanol were given at 2 week intervals. Results Out of 55 patients 15 cases did not follow up after the first dose, so results were calculated out of 40 patients. 12 patients showed complete regression & 15 showed regression to half the size. Thus 67.5 % patients showed acceptable results. There were no side effects except hyperpigmentation in 2 patients. There were no cases of recurrence during our study period. Conclusion Sclerotherapy is a promising method of treatment for haemangiomas of head and neck that may obviate the need for surgical intervention.

Unusual Case Report

Dermoid and epidermoid cysts which belong to choristomas, usually manifest clinically as superficial and deep cystic movable formations, most often with a slow and intermittent growth. In the present article we report a case of an external angular dermoid cyst in a 13-year-old boy, the growth of which was steady on progression. Surgical excision of the cyst was done by approaching through an external sub-brow incision. Dermoid cysts are unusual neoplasms that often seen in children with the most commonly affected site being the orbit in the head and neck region. Such cysts may cause compression to the eye lobe and the optic nerve. Hence, operative procedures may be suggested in the case of such cysts which have a constant progression.
