Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the head and neck region are rare and benign and of unknown etiology. They mimic as malignant lesions both clinically and radiologically. It encompasses a spectrum of myofibroblastic proliferation along with varying amount of inflammatory infiltrate. Recently, the concept of this lesion being reactive has been challenged based on the clinical demonstration of recurrences and metastasis and cytogenetic evidence of acquired clonal chromosomal abnormalities. Here we report a case of a 16 year old male who presented with a swelling on the nasal dorsum for 6 months. MRI and FNAC revealed a spindle cell neoplasm. The swelling was resected completely under general anaesthesia. Histopathology with immunohistochemistry proved it to be a benign inflammatory myofibrobalstic tumour.  Complete surgical resection is the best treatment modality for IMT.

Rare Case Report

Background: Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that occurs most often in long bones, with the head and neck region being rarely affected, accounting for less than 1% of all cancers in this region. Objective: To report a rare case of a large-extension osteosarcoma with emphasis on its clinical and diagnostic aspects. Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presenting an intraoral exophytic lesion with involvement of other maxillofacial structures, such as nostril, zygoma and orbit. Despite the initial clinical diagnosis of actinomycosis, an incisional biopsy confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of osteosarcoma, showing a wide morphological variety. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of clinical and histopathological findings for the correct diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Moreover, it shows that, although surgical resection is the primary treatment for this neoplasia, depending on the extent of the tumor and its proximity to vital anatomical structures, the most appropriate conduct is not always feasible.

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

Abstract Angiosarcomas are rare tumors that predominantly affect adults and elderly patients. Although angiosarcomas are well described in a variety of clinical settings, they have been poorly studied in children and little is known about their biology, natural history, or optimal treatment. Childhood angiosarcomas are exceedingly rare. The head and neck region and mediastinum seem to be the preferred locations. Most tumors are high-grade tumors. Vasoformative architecture is not always obvious on light microscopy requiring the benefit of immunohistochemical study. The differential diagnosis includes Kaposi sarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, hemangiopericytoma, and spindle cell hemangioendothelioma whose prognosis is different. Complete resection is required for patients with localized tumors. Malignant vascular tumors are rare in children in the first 2 decades of life and when they do occur they seem to be more aggressive than in adults. Pathologic diagnosis is difficult particularly in poorly differentiated angiosarcomas requiring immunohistochemical study to confirm vascular differentiation.

Spindle cell hemangioendothelioma (SCH) was originally described by Weiss and Enzinger (1986) as a low-grade angiosarcoma resembling both cavernous hemangioma and Kaposi's sarcoma. Recent studies suggest that SCH is a benign neoplasm or reactive lesion accompanying a congenital or acquired vascular malformation. Most SCHs present as one or more nodules affecting the dermis or subcutis of the distal extremities. Few reports describe SCH of the head and neck region; even fewer note intramuscular SCH. Here, we describe a case of SCH involving the temporal muscle mimicking soft tissue sarcoma, who had a successful surgical treatment with a coronal approach and zygomatic osteotomy.

Rosai Dorfman Disease

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rarely seen disease with unknown etiology. Extranodal involvement is most commonly seen in the head and neck region. Histopathologically, it is characterized by histiocytic cell proliferation. This paper presents a case of a 15-year-old male patient who presented with nasal obstruction and was surgically treated for a mass filling in the left nasal meatus that was diagnosed to be Rosai-Dorfman disease by histopathological examination.

Lipoma is a common benign tumor affecting the soft tissues arising in every location where fat is normally present. Only 13% of them arise in the head and neck region and most of these occur subcutaneously in the posterior neck. Rarely, they can develop from deeper planes in the anterior neck, infratemporal fossa, in or around the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and parotid gland. They usually present as a benign, slowly growing and rarely recur Clinically, they can be confused with other benign lesions; however, CT and Ultrasonography allows a specific diagnosis to be made in virtually all cases. The aim of this article is to report a unique case of a lipoma with benign microscopic appearance located deep to the subcutaneous tissue in the para-parotid area of a 45 years-old female patient.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy, of which 3–10% of cases occur in the head and neck region. We report a 22-year-old woman who was referred to the University Hospital of Siena, Italy, in 2016 with an ostensibly benign asymptomatic lump on the mandibular gingiva. The lesion grew rapidly, causing otalgia in the right ear. An excisional biopsy was performed and primary LMS was diagnosed histologically. Subsequently, the patient underwent radical re-excision of the perilesional mucosa, a partial bone resection and the extraction of four teeth. No recurrences or metastases were detectable at a 20-month follow-up. This report discusses the differential diagnosis of LMS with regards to other benign and malignant lesions and reviews the recent literature on primary and secondary oral LMS. Due to its innocuous clinical features—including its asymptomatic nature and presentation at a young age—this aggressive malignancy can go undetected; therefore, an early histopathological diagnosis is crucial.
