Important Differential Diagnosis

An osseous choristoma is a benign tumor consisting of regular bone tissue in an irregular localization. Choristomas in the head and neck region are rare. Most frequently, they are found in the region of the tongue or oral mucosa. There are also very few reports on osseous choristomas in the submandibular region. We present the case of a woman with a large, caudal osseous choristoma within the lateral cervical triangle. Literature review is given about all of the reported cases in the region of the neck. The pathogenesis is yet unexplained. Our case supports the theory that the development of an osseous choristoma is a reaction to a former trauma. Cervical osseous choristomas are seldom, but they represent an important differential diagnosis when dealing with a cervical tumor.

The clinical and radiological differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the submandibular region can be difficult. We report an unusual case of a submandibular salivary duct cyst mimicking an external laryngocele on presentation by appearing to expand on Valsalva manoeuvre, and where computed tomography (CT) scanning was unhelpful in reaching a diagnosis. We present the case, discuss the theories of pathogenesis, and review the literature on the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the submandibular region.

Background: Ecchino coccosis or hydatid cyst disease is a common parasitic disease that is known to affect bothhumans and animals and is an important health problem in poorly developed countries. Objectives: In this histopathological retrospectivestudy, we aimed to evaluate hydatid cyst disease occurring at different sites of body and were diagnosed during last fifteen years inpathology department, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro from January 1996 to December 2010.Study Design: Descriptive retrospective study. Materials: A total of 80 cases of hydatid cyst disease of different organs diagnosed atpathology department LUMHS Jamshoro and retrieved from Histopathological record. Results: Out of these 80 cases, 56 cases (70%)were of liver, 8 (10%) of lung, 5 (6.25%) of ovary. 01 case (1.2%) thyroid, 02 cases (2.5%) submandibular region and 8 (10%) eachoccurring at thigh, forearm, palm, cheek and fronto-temporal region. Majority of cases seen in females and M/F ratio of 1:3.6 and with agerange of 8-65 years. More than 50% of cases were seen between 30-65 years of age. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst of liver was mostcommon site followed by lung. But it can also be included in differential diagnosis of solitary cystic lesions of ovary and thyroid as well.

AbstractSuccessful microvascular reconstruction of head and neck defects requires the ability to safely identify, isolate, and utilize recipient vessels. To date, however, a comprehensive review of the anatomy and techniques relevant to the available anatomic regions has not been undertaken. This review covers the relevant clinical anatomy of the anterior triangle, posterior triangle, submandibular region, intraoral region, preauricular region, chest, and arm, taking particular care to highlight the structures that are crucial to identify while performing each dissection. Finally, a step-by-step technique for safely dissecting the recipient vessels at each site is provided.

Objectives/Hypothesis Phleboliths in venous malformations (VM) of the head and neck are often observed and may cause significant symptoms. Only a few articles refer to the morphology and composition of the phleboliths in VM. The objective of this study was to analyse and to demonstrate their composition and morphology. Methods Patients with VM presenting to a vascular anomalies centre during a three-year period were identified. The incidence of phleboliths was analysed followed by morphological and structural analysis with cone beam tomography and X-ray diffraction. Results Phleboliths were identified in 28/98 patients with VM of the head and neck. Seven patients underwent conventional surgery to reduce the volume of the VM or to remove the phleboliths, which were localized in the cheek (3 cases), submandibular region (2 cases), infrahyoidal neck or upper eyelid (1 case each). The structural analysis showed that more advanced lamination and an increasing radiopacity of the cortex was observed in larger phleboliths. X-ray powder diffraction analysis revealed that the main constituent in the pulverized phleboliths was carbonate-fluorohydroxylapatite. Conclusion This study shows in a vivid way that phleboliths from VM of the head and neck area show a laminar structure and consist of apatite, without any indication of differences in their chemical composition. Treatment of localized intravascular coagulopathy in VM might be able to prevent the formation and the progression of phleboliths. Hypothetically, another option might be lithotripsy.

<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>

Head And Neck Infections

Objectives: To analyse the risk factors responsible for different head and neckinfections secondary to dental causes. DESIGN: Retrospective study. Settings: Department ofENT and Head & Neck Surgery, Allied Hospital, Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad. Period:October 2011 to September 2014. Patients and Methods: The study consisted of 50 patientswho presented with history of head and neck infections secondary to dental causes in thedepartment of ENT and Head & Neck Surgery at Allied Hospital Faisalabad. Inclusions criteria:Patients of head and neck infections of either sex ranging from 12 to 57 years of age and havinghistory of dental infections / extractions were included in the study. Exclusion Criteria: Patientshaving head and neck infections secondary to some other cause other than dental etiologywere excluded from the study. Data Analysis: SPSS software, version 10 was used to analysethe data. Chi square test was applied to analyse the data. Results: In our study 62 % patientswith head and neck infections were males while 38 % patients were females. Age ranged from12 years to 57 years with mean age 33.68 years. 96% of our patients presented with deep neckabscesses while only 02% of the patients had osteomyelitis of maxilla and further 02% of thepatients presented with necrotizing fasciitis of the submandibular region. 58% of the patientshad dental infections whereas 42% patients were having dental extraction as the root causeresponsible for these head and neck infections. Moreover, all the patients had poor oro-dentalhygiene. It was also observed that 76% of the patients, having history of dental extraction, weretreated by unqualified dental practitioners without adequate aseptic conditions. Twelve patientsout of fifty (24%) were found to have diabetes mellitus and one patient each was suffering frommalignancy and chronic renal failure. 10 (20%) of our patients were smokers. Some of thepatients (16%) were having anemia. Two patients out of fifty (04%) were suffering from pulmonarytuberculosis. Treatment: All these patients were managed with adequate parentral antibioticsand surgical interventions. We had to perform an emergency tracheostomy in one patient. Allthe patients had good response to the management without any complication. Conclusions:Dental infections and dental extractions are still an important cause for potentially life threateninghead and neck infections in developing countries like Pakistan. Unhygienic dental practicesand lack of proper dental care facilities along with immunocompromizing conditions such asdiabetes mellitus are most common risk factors for these avoidable head and neck infections.Therefore it is necessary that unhygienic dental practices as well as practices by unqualifieddental practitioners should be strictly banned.
