<p class="abstract">Osteomas are benign mesenchymal osteoblastic tumors of lamellar bones. In our practice, they are usually seen in the paranasal sinuses, mainly involving the frontal and ethmoidal sinus. Osteoma of the temporal bone is uncommon and when they occur, they are most commonly seen in the external auditory canal. Mastoid osteomas are a rare entity with incidence of 0.1 - 1% of all benign tumors of skull. They are slowing growing and usually asymptomatic. We report a rare case in a 28 years female patient who presented to us with right postauricular bony swelling of size 2.5×3 cms along with bilateral nasal obstruction. Patient was analyzed for her clinical condition, imaging details, treatment and surgical plan. Diagnosis of right mastoid osteoma with right nasochoanal polyposis was made after non-contrast computed tomography of temporal bone and paranasal sinuses respectively. Complete surgical excision of the osteoma along with endoscopic removal of the polypoidal tissue was done with good cosmetic outcome without recurrence.</p>

The ocular involvement of the cysticercosis is a rare entity involving eyelids, extraocular muscles, orbit, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, uvea, retina, vitreous and optic nerve. All the extraocular muscles are involved in myocysticercosis. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography are the imaging modalities for evaluation of ocular cysticercosis. The patients can be treated with systemic steroids and albendazole; however surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a rare case of extraocular myocysticercosis in nine years old boy diagnosed on ultrasonography and computed tomography.

<p class="abstract">Nasolabial cysts are rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue developmental cysts occur in the maxillary lip and nasal alar regions. Patients usually presents with an asymptomatic soft swelling with obliteration of the nasolabial fold. Due to it's origin from entrapped epithelium in an embryonic fusion plane developmentally, this cyst is considered to be a Hamartoma. Hamartomas are non-neoplastic malformations, or inborn errors of tissue development. They are characterized by an abnormal mixture of tissues indigenous to that area of the body. Complete surgical excision is the accepted method of treatment. This report aimed to present a case of nasolabial cyst hamartoma, which is rare in presentation.</p>

<p>Epiglottis dermoid cysts are generally benign lesions, which can affect all the age groups. Dermoid cysts arising from the head and neck region are rare, slow growing, and well-circumscribed neoplasm. Symptoms are non-specific and usually related to the size and the location of the lesion. A dermoid cyst of the epiglottis is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one case has been previously reported in the English literature and a total of three cases were presented in Russian literature in two studies. In our report, a middle-aged male presented with foreign body sensation in throat for 1-year and difficulty in swallowing for three months, mainly for solids. Thorough history, clinical examination and relevant investigation were done. Direct laryngoscopy was done and complete surgical excision was done. The aim of the case report is to present a rare case of epiglottic dermoid cyst, its clinical presentation, radio-logical features and surgical management.</p>

Background: Minor salivary gland benign tumors account for a very small percentage of salivary gland tumors of which monomorphic adenomas are a rare entity. Methods and Findings: The present case report discusses a rare case report of an 18-year-old female patient diagnosed with monomorphic adenoma of the posterior palatal region. The diagnosis was reached after thorough radiographical and pathological investigations. Conclusion: Monomorphic Adenoma in a younger individual is a rare disorder and can be used as a collective term for benign or malignant tumors comprising of one type or even two types of cells.

Paragangliomas are rare tumors derived from the neural crest cells. Most of the paragangliomas occur as sporadic tumors. The commonest incidence occurs in the second and third decade of life with a slight male preponderance. Clinically patients with a retroperitoneal paraganglioma often present with back pain or a palpable mass. There is a 5% incidence of turning into malignancy and these tumors are associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular complications. Management for paragangliomas typically involves complete surgical excision. A multi-disciplinary approach is suggested for a better outcome of the procedure

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Schwannomas, also called as neurilemomas, are well-encapsulated, slowly growing tumors that arise from schwann cells of peripheral nerves. Clinically, schwannomas present as asymptomatic, slowly enlarging lateral neck masses and so they tend to present late. The nerve of origin is not often made until the time of surgery. Preoperative diagnosis is aided by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. The treatment of choice of schwannomas of the neck typically involves complete surgical resection. Rapidly growing tumors with evidence of invasion, or complete loss of nerve function should trigger complete surgical excision of the tumor. Here, we report a rare case of cervical vagal schwannoma in a 45 year old female who got admitted with the complaint of a firm, painless mass on the left side of the neck. The management of the case is discussed along with the relevant literature.</span></p>

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.

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>
