Low Incidence

Epidermal inclusion cysts (EIC) are benign lesions that can be encountered throughout the body, but with a low incidence in the head and neck region. (1.6 to 7%) The various locations in this region where the cyst can arise are sublingual, submental, submandibular and buccal mucosa. EIC present in the tonsils are extremely rare and reported less than 0.01% in published English literature. We report a rare and incidental finding of epidermal inclusion cyst with actinomycetes in tonsil in a 57 year old male who presented with sore throat and difficulty in swallowing.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple manifestations, including the presence of neurofibromas. These benign lesions can potentially affect every site of the body; its location in the head and neck region is not uncommon, but the oral cavity, and specially the tongue, are rarely affected. We aim to present a case of a giant recurrent neurofibroma of the tongue in a NF1 patient, conditiong obstructive symptoms, as well as to ouline its successful treatment with topical mitomycin-C as an adjuvant therapy to surgical ressection.

ABSTRACT Introduction Maffucci syndrome is a congenital nonhereditary disorder in which patients develop multiple enchondromas and cutaneous, visceral, or soft tissue hemangiomas. Less than 200 cases of Maffucci syndrome have been published in the English literature. These lesions most commonly occur in the limb bones, especially in the hands and feet. Rarely, patients of Maffucci syndrome may present with mesodermal dysplasia involving head and neck region with nasal septum enchondromas reported only in two cases till now. Aim To report a rare case of nasal enchondroma in a patient of Maffucci syndrome. Case description A 15-year-old girl diagnosed with Maffucci syndrome 2 years back was referred to our ENT department with symptoms of left-sided nasal obstruction and epiphora. On thorough clinical examination and proper investigation, she was diagnosed to have nasal enchondroma. She successfully underwent endonasal endoscopic resection of nasal enchondroma. Conclusion Maffucci syndrome is a rare entity characterized by multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas, especially in the extremities. A manifestation in the head and neck region is rare and cartilaginous tumors of nasal septum are even rarer; however, differential of nasal cartilaginous tumors should be borne in mind in patients with underlying mesodermal dysplastic disorders like Maffucci syndrome. Clinical significance Patients of Maffucci syndrome with enchondromas are at high risk of undergoing malignant transformation, especially chondrosarcomas. These patients need vigilant and close follow-up. Despite their rarity, chondromas should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of nasal tumors, especially those arising from the nasal septum.

Abstract Introduction Epidermal inclusion cyst is a relatively common condition usually associated with trauma, with characteristic presentation, and seen in the extremities. However, it is an uncommon entity in the head and neck region. Objective The purpose of this paper is to report the unusual presentation of epidermal inclusion cyst in the maxilla without any definitive history of trauma and to review the concerned English language literature. Conclusion In the absence of any definitive history of trauma, only a thorough clinical examination along with characteristic radiological imaging and histopathological findings will help in diagnosing epidermal inclusion cyst.

Background: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) post dental extraction is post dentalextraction complication with post radiation cancer theraphy. Objective : to present rare case, ORN post dental extraction with post radiation Ca nasopharing therapy 3 years ago.Case Management: A 54 years old patient reported to the dental out-patient department with a chief complaint of pus discharge from right buccal since post dental extraction 6 months ago. He gave a history of a nasopharing Carcinoma with histopatology as squamous cell carcinoms 3 years ago and radio therapy but no surgery. Intraoral examination, exposed necrotic bone found from right lower retromolar area 46 with pus discharge. Radiographic view was likely squester. Local surgical debridement and the sequestrectomy was undertaken with general anaesthesia. Antibiotic injection treatment was ceftriaxon 2x 1gram, infus metronidazol 3x500 mg and ketorolac 3x1 ampul, the patient was treated for 3 days and educated to maintain his oral hygiene with povidone iodine gargle.Discussion: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is late effect of radiation therapy thatresults in irreversible tissue death, which is clinically observed as bony exposure for more than 3 months duration. The mandible is affected more often than the maxilla or any other bones of head and neck region. The incidence of ORN in the mandible is reported to be between 2% and 22% and most often affects the body of the mandible. Ideal time is one year minimal post radiotherapy to get maximal vascularization for optimal healing. But immunity factor and radiation doses can trigger emergense ORN.Conclusion: Need time consideration, clinic analysis and pathologys before doing dental extraction for post radiotherapy cancer cases to prevent ORN.

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare salivary gland malignancy that can occur in any part of the body, its clinicopathologic features are scarcely reported in locoregional literature. Therefore, in this study we aimed to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of adenoid cystic carcinoma in our population and to determine the association of age and site of its occurrence with histologic pattern and perineural invasion. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 30 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma that underwent surgical resections or biopsies from March 2009 to February 2020 at Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi. Clinical and histopathological parameters including age, site, histological pattern and perineural invasion were determined and association between different parameters was analyzed. Results: Mean age of the patients was 30 + 16.1 years. Cribriform pattern was most common histologic pattern (63.3%) while head and neck region was the most common site of occurrence (83.3%). Perineural invasion which is one of the most important prognostic factors in adenoid cystic carcinoma was present in approximately half of the patients (46.7%). No significant association of age and site was found with histologic pattern and perineural invasion. Conclusion: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignancy most commonly occurring in head and neck region with a high frequency of perineural invasion. No significant difference of histologic pattern and histologic prognostic parameter like perineural invasion was noted at different ages and different sites in our study.

Chondroid syringoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any subcutaneous nodule over the face. The clinician may miss the diagnosis of this lesion and if it is suspected, tumour should be excised with a margin of normal tissue and regular follow up should be done.</span></p>

ABSTRACT Epidermoid inclusion cysts are the most common types of simple dermal epithelial benign lesions, presenting as wellencapsulated subepidermal mobile nodules. They arise on hair-bearing areas but vulva is a rare site. We here report clinical and ultrasonography (USG) findings of a big epidermal nontraumatic inclusion epidermoid cyst at the vulva which was excised and histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of epidermoid inclusion cyst without any dysplasia.

Abstract“Surgery” is defined as “treatment of injuries or disorders of the body by incision or manipulation, especially with instruments”. As such, it is nothing more than the mere performance of maneuvers at the operating room and certainly does not qualify to be called “treatment”. It is postoperative care that completes the process, ultimately benefitting the patient. In general, this includes the overall maintenance of wellbeing and early recovery of function before the patient can be discharged to be on his own. Additionally, the maxillofacial patient presents with issues exclusive to the anatomy and physiology of the head and neck region. One needs to have in-depth knowledge of these unique aspects, in addition to being a shrewd clinician at the postoperative ward. This chapter aims to equip the surgeon with such information as is necessary to provide the best of services following maxillofacial surgery.
