Rare Case Report

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

Rare Case Report

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.

<p class="abstract">Benign calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe or pilomatricoma is rare benign skin tumours, typically seen in head and neck region. This is supposed to arise from hair follicle matrix cells. Though head and neck is the commonest area involved by this tumour, only 4.5% cases have been reported in the pinna. Neck is most commonly involved followed by cheek, scalp, pre auricular and peri orbital areas. Here we report a case of pilomatricoma over medial surface of pinna in a 20 years old female. She had the swelling which was gradually increasing for the past 5 years. Histopathological examination following excision biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Histological Features

Hidrocystomas are benign cystic lesions which arise from the secretory part of sweat glands. Hidrocystomas can be either eccrine or apocrine and are often found in the head and neck region. In this paper we present a case of a large congenital hidrocystoma of the lower eyelid in a patient with possible orofacial digital syndrome (ODS). A special feature in our case was the presentation of bone remodeling of the anterior surface of the maxilla. The basic clinical and histological features of hidrocystomas are also reviewed.

ABSTRACT Schwannoma is a benign tumor that originates from perineural Schwann cells of nerve sheath. They are solitary, wellencapsulated, slow-growing adjacent to the parental nerve but extrinsic to the nerve fascicles. Approximately 25 to 45% of all schwannomas are seen in the head and neck region and are found rarely in the oral cavity. Most of the intraoral schwannomas are located in the tongue. Palatal schwannoma is very rare as till date and only 16 cases have been reported; one such rare case we came across is reported here. How to cite this article Hameed PSS, Arora N, Malhotra V.

The Masses

Schwannomas are also known as neurolemmas that are usually originated from Schwann cells located in the peripheric nerve sheaths. They are the most common tumours of the hand (0.8–2%). They usually present solitary swelling along the course of the nerve however multiple lesions may be present in cases of NF type 1, familial neurofibromatosis, and sporadic schwannomatosis. Schwannomas are generally represented as an asymptomatic mass; however pain, numbness and fatigue may take place with the increasing size of the tumour. EMG (electromyelography), MRI (magnetic resonance imagination), and USG (ultrasound) are helpful in the diagnosis. Surgical removal is usually curative. In this paper, we present a 24-year-old male referred to our clinic for a lump located at the volar side of the left wrist and a lump located in his left palm and numbness at his 3rd and 4th fingers. Total excision was performed for both lesions. Histopathological examination of the masses revealed typical features of schwannoma. At the 6th-month followup the patient was symptom-free except for slight paresthesia of the 3rd and the 4th fingers. For our knowledge, this is the second case in the literature presenting wrist and palm involvement of the median nerve schwannoma.

Teratoid Cyst

Rudolf Virchow is considered to be the first scientist to have used the word sebaceous cyst. It was thought that these lesions occurred due to retention of sebaceous secretion consequent to obstruction of sebaceous ducts of sebaceous glands, although that was found not to be the case. In all these cysts, the cavity is filled with keratin. There are six types of keratin-filled cysts, namely, epidermoid, dermoid, teratoid, keratinous, trichilemmal, and teratoma cyst, which have one common name “dermoid cyst.” Of the six, teratoid cyst is the least common. In contrast to other dermoid cysts, teratoid cysts contain tissue elements derived from all the three germ layers, namely, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Teratomas can be differentiated from teratoid cysts by the fact that recognizable organ structures may be found in the former; examples include teeth and skin. Teratoid cysts can develop anywhere in the body but rarely arise in the head and neck region. They have never been reported in the postauricular region. In this case report, we present a case of teratoid cyst in the postauricular region in a 21-year-old female. The significance of this case lies in its rarity.

Rare Case Report

<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>

ABSTRACT Dermoid cysts are cystic malformations lined with squamous epithelium and constitute 1.6 to 6.9% of all cysts in the head and neck area. Within head and neck region, they are predominantly found in orbital, oral and nasal regions (over 80%) and remainder found in occipital, frontal, lip, neck, soft palate. Dermoid cysts are benign lesions usually presenting as a mid line neck mass. They rarely appear in lateral region. So, the purpose of this report is to present and discuss a rare case of posterolateral cervical dermoid cyst. How to cite this article Bhateja S, Arora G.

Background: Schwannoma is classified as a benign, encapsulated tumor, derived from the perineural cells which are classified as neural cell membranes. About 10% of Schwannomas has occurred in the head and neck and the incidence of Schwannoma arising from the Cervical C2 nerve roots is extremely rare. Aims of study: This case report aims to provide a rare case report on Schwannoma located in cervical cervices (C2& C3). Case presentation: A 37-year-old female patient with a lump in the left neck for 4 years ago, the first lump appeared as a larger (increasingly large 1×1 cm) marbles with no pain in the lump but over the past 4 months the patient felt his legs and arms are weak. Patients have a history of surgical removal of tumors in the back of the neckline by the end of 2016. At first, we estimated the lump that appeared on the left neck of the patient stands alone in the sense that it was not related to the history of the first lump surgery, but when further examination, the tumor was apparently related to the lump that appeared previously who had surgery. Conclusion: The extracranial Schwannoma in the head and neck areas is a rare neoplasm. The extracranial Schwannoma case is a case that is difficult to diagnose, in addition to good clinical examination, imaging examination, such as CT scan and MRI are an indispensable way of ensuring the diagnosis of an extracranial Schwannoma.

Head And Neck Region

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma as an aggressive type of chondrosarcoma shows a characteristic biphasic histopathologic pattern. The head and neck region is included a high proportion of extra skeletal sites. Very rare examples of Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma involving the mandible have been described. Based on fragmented or tiny specimens, the diagnosis of this lesion has been re- mained a challenge because the specimens may contain only one of the two neoplastic elements. We report a rare case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the mandible in a 19 years old male with delaying in diagnosis due to massive extension of the tumor to the soft tissues.
