Bronchogenic Cysts

Bronchogenic Cysts are embryologic malformations of the foregut and are rarely found head and neck region. Here we present a case of an upper scapular/lower posterior neck cystic mass which was initially suspicious for lymphatic malformation but confirmed by pathology to be a ectopic bronchogenic cyst.

Congenital Cysts

Congenital cysts of the neck are not uncommon. Most of these are thyroglossal, branchial cleft and thymic cysts. Bronchogenic cysts are uncommon developmental anomalies of the tracheobronchial tree and rarely occur in the neck. More than 70 cases of bronchogenic cysts in the head and neck region have been reported in the literature. We report three cases presenting with neck swelling in the hyoid region that were diagnosed as bronchogenic cysts based on clinical and histopathological findings.

Introduction Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are malignant tumors comprised of small round cells of neuro-ectodermal origin that affect soft tissue and bone. Though the occurrence of pPNETs in the head and neck region is rare, these are aggressive malignant tumors, and long-term survival rates following diagnosis remain poor. Case Report In the present case, a tumour was located in larynx (as globular/cystic mass of epiglottis) of the patient and was diagnosed as pPNET. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that tumor cells were positive for CD99 and NSE, focally positive for EMA but negative for synaptophysin and chromogranin. The mass was surgically excised with negative margins. In post op period patient was planned for post-op chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Conclusion pPNETs are very rare in head and neck region. Significant advances in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapeutic regimens, as well as improved facility in diagnosing these tumors through cytogenetic and immunohistochemical analysis improves the long-term disease-free survival.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system whereas those arising from C2 nerve root are extremely rare. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasms. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other condition. Histopathology gives definitive diagnosis. The accepted treatment for these tumors is surgical resection with preservation of the neural pathway. We present a rare case of cervical nerve (C2-C3) root schwannoma of 50 year old male who presented with right lateral neck swelling with pain  radiating to right shoulder associated with right shoulder stiffness</span>. The swelling which also had an intervertebral part <span lang="EN-IN">was removed successfully through a posterior neck incision with no post-operative neurological symptoms.</span></p>

Head And Neck Region

Abstract Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic, inflammatory, benign disorder endemic to Asia that typically manifests as a triad of painless masses in the head and neck region, elevated eosinophils and serum immunoglobulin. It usually affects young men in their second and third decades of life and is rarely seen outside of the orient. This is a report of a case of KD in a young man of African descent who presented with a cheek mass. KD was not included in our differential diagnosis, and this report highlights the need to consider this entity, which can be easily missed due to its rarity in the Western world. There is no cure for the disease, and management includes medical and surgical modalities, but local recurrence or relapse is not uncommon.

Pictorial Essay

Abstract Primary extranodal lymphoma is defined as a lymphoma at a solitary extranodal site, with or without involvement of the lymph nodes. The clinical and radiological features of extranodal lymphoma have been documented in recent studies. In this pictorial essay, we reviewed imaging findings of extranodal lymphoma in the head and neck region.
