Introduction: Hamartoma is a developmental disorder. Aim: The aim of this study is to present a case of hamartoma of naso- and oropharynx and discuss the possible surgical approaches. Case study: A a 55-year-old male patient, who had undergone a tracheotomy due to increasing breathing difficulties was admitted to Head and Neck Diseases Clinic in the Clinical University Hospital in Olsztyn with the aim of proceeding further. Results and discussion: The parapharyngeal space is divided into the prestyloid and the retrostyloid compartment.Tumours of parapharyngeal space are responsible for 1% of head and neck tumours; 80% of these tumours are benign lesions, most often originating from the parotid gland (50% of all the cases). Conclusions: The treatment of choice for benign lesions like the hamartoma is a surgical resection. It is important to choose a suitable surgical approach considering morphotic parameters of a tumour, anatomic and topographic conditions.

Pleomorphic Adenoma

Salivary organ tumors are uncommon, including under 3 % of all neoplasia of head and neck district. Pleomorphic adenoma is the most well-known salivary organ tumor, representing 60-80% of amiable tumors of salivary organs. Generally they are found as singular one-sided, firm and portable, effortless, moderate developing mass. The board includes careful resection by shallow or absolute parotidectomy.

Fibrous Tumor

Solitary fibrous tumors are uncommon spindle cell neoplasms generally associated with serosal surfaces, especially the pleura. Recently, these tumors have been documented in a number of extrapleural sites including the head and neck. So far only two cases of parapharyngeal solitary fibrous tumor have been reported in the English literature. Rare location of an uncommon lesion often gives rise to difficulty in diagnosis or to misdiagnosis. In both the previously reported cases, as well as in our case, the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor was not made until the excised tumor was subjected to histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

AbstractMetastases to the parotid region are relatively infrequent and originate primarily from head and neck cancer. Metastases of an infraclavicular origin are uncommon. Moreover, metastasis from the carcinoma of urinary bladder (CUB) to any part of the head and neck, including parotid gland, is rare. Surgery and chemotherapy are usually offered. We report a case of solitary parotid metastasis from CUB, who was successfully treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using CyberKnife. SBRT is a safe alternative in cases unwilling/unfit for surgery.

Chronic Inflammatory Disorder

Introduction Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder, predominantly affecting the urinary tract. In the head and neck region, it is very rare and may confuse the clinicians during investigations, as features may mimic malignancy. Materials and methods We report a case of malakoplakia involving the parotid gland and review of the reported cases of malakoplakia in head and neck region. Results Histologically, this is the first classic case report of malakoplakia involving the parotid gland in the world literature. A total of 49 cases have been reported in the head and neck region; 38.7% of these are cutaneous. In soft tissue, the tongue is the most common site. Salivary gland involvement is very rare. Previously, submandibular salivary gland involvement has been reported. Conclusion A possibility of malakoplakia should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with enlarged head and neck masses. Histology is essential to diagnose this benign inflammatory disorder and to differentiate from a malignant process.

The Mean

Objective Primary parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors are one of the most challenging head and neck tumors to diagnose and treat. We analyzed our experience in patients with PPS tumors who were treated in our hospital over 13 years. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients with PPS tumors between 2006 and 2018. The study included clinical symptoms, histological types, surgical approaches, adjuvant therapies, postoperative complications, and prognosis. Results The mean age of the patients was 49.63 ± 17.03 years. A palpable neck mass (56.3%) was the most common symptom. In our series, 78.6% of the tumors were benign, and of these, schwannomas were the most common (6/14, 42.9%). Three surgical approaches were used in our patients, including transmandibular (57.1%), transcervical (21.4%) and transparotid (21.4%) approaches. Few complications were reported, including hoarseness and numbness. Adjuvant therapy was administered depending on pathological parameters of the tumors. No recurrence was observed during a mean follow-up of 60.6 months in patients with malignant tumors. Conclusions Radiological studies of PPS tumors are essential for diagnosis and surgical planning. Excision of PPS tumors using appropriate surgical approaches provides good outcomes.
