Juvenile variant ossifying fibroma of sinonasal region is an extremely rare benign fibro-osseous lesion which is locally aggressive. A 21-year-old male presented with significant proptosis of right eye with stony-hard lump in the middle upper aspect of the right orbit and base of the nose. CT scan of head revealed a non-enhancing expansile lesion in right ethmoidal cells consistent with chronic ethmoidal mucocele. However Magnetic Resonance Imaging of brain revealed enhancing lesion in right ethmoid and frontal sinus extending up to anterior cranial fossa. He underwent right frontal craniotomy with surgical excision of tumor wherein cystic brown tumor of frontal and ethmoidal sinus was found. The procedure was supplemented with endoscopic transnasal approach. Histopathology report suggested an ossifying fibroma. This case highlights the importance of clinical, imaging and histopathological features of ossifying fibroma occurring in the sinonasal tract for better diagnosis and treatment through a multidisciplinary approach.

Verrucous carcinoma of the scrotum is an extremely rare disease and most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic inflammation. Currently, it has not been well characterized, the etiology, diagnosis and treatment remaining poorly understood. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma of the right hemiscrotum. Wide surgical excision was performed. Favorable outcomes can be achieved by surgery, even without any adjuvant therapy, but patients should be carefully followed up.

Background: Pure epidural spinal cavernous hemangiomas (SCH) account for only 4% of all spinal epidural lesions. Our literature review identified 61 publications reporting on, a total of 175 cases in the magnetic resonance imaging era. Here, we reviewed those cases, and have added our case of what appeared to be a multifocal SCH. Case Description: A 72-year-old male presented with a progressive paraparesis attributed to a T5/T6 dorsolateral extradural mass extending into the right T5/6 foramen. Surgical excision documented the lesion, histologically, was a SCH. A second similar lesion was noted involving the left C7/T1 foramen; as the patient was asymptomatic from this lesion, and no additional biopsy was performed. The patient returned to normal neurological function within 2 months postoperatively. Conclusions: Here, a 72-year-old male presented with a pathologically confirmed T5/T6 epidural SCH and a secondary C7/T1 foraminal lesion suspected to represent a secondary focus of an epidural SCH.

Intramuscular hemangiomas can be an infrequent but important cause of musculoskeletal pain. This report describes a 25-year-old male who presented with pain in the right forearm and contracture of the right hand for 4 years. Physical examination revealed severe tenderness of the midforearm with contracture of the flexor tendons in the index, middle, ring, and little fingers. Conventional radiography of the forearm revealed a soft tissue phlebolith. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a well-defined lobulated mass partially involving the FDP tendon. An intramuscular hemangioma within the deep anterior compartment of the forearm was suspected. Following surgical excision of the hemangioma, the patient’s symptoms resolved completely. In conclusion, intramuscular hemangioma can be a rare cause of flexion contracture of the hands and should be considered as a cause of a flexion contracture that fails to respond to conservative treatment.

Subdural osteomas are extremely rare benign neoplasms. Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old female patient with a right frontal and parietal subdural osteoma. The patient presented with a 2-year history of intermittent headache and fatigue. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed a high-density lesion attached to the inner surface of the right frontal and parietal skull. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated T1 hyperintensity and T2 hypointensity of the lesion. Intraoperatively, the hard mass was located in subdural space and attached to the dura mater. Histopathological examination revealed lamellated bony trabeculae lined by osteoblasts and the intertrabecular marrow spaces occupied by adipose tissue. The patient underwent neurosurgical resection and recovered without complication. Surgical excision is recommended to extract the symptomatic lesions with overlying dura mater.

The objective of this study was to present an unusual low velocity transorbital penetrating injury. The study design was a clinical record (case report). A 38-year-old gentleman tripped and fell face first onto the wing of an ornamental brass eagle. This penetrated the inferomedial aspect of the right orbit, breaching the lamina papyracea to extend into the ethmoid sinuses and reaching the dura of the anterior cranial fossa. The foreign body was removed in theater under a joint ophthalmology and ENT procedure. The patient was left with reduced visual acuity in the right eye but no other long-term sequelae. Transorbital penetrating injury presents unusual challenges to investigation and management requiring a multidisciplinary approach to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. If managed well the prognosis is good.

Cerebellopontine (CP) angle tumors are often resected via retrosigmoid craniotomy; however, sometimes cranial nerves (CNs) make their resection more complex. In such cases, the endoscopic transnasal approach can avoid such manipulations as delivering surgical instruments over CNs or peeling off CNs from the tumor, minimizing the risk of postoperative deficits. A 35-year-old man presented with a 37-mm cystic tumor in the right CP angle, and preoperative 3D fusion images revealed that multiple CNs (VII, VIII, and lower CNs) were running on the tumor posteriorly. The endoscopic transnasal approach enabled safe subtotal resection without causing neurological deficits, and the patient underwent stereotactic radiosurgery for the residual schwannoma.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/xKLwdDsLpWA.

<p>Cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion commonly seen in the head and neck regions. It is considered as a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that requires surgical excision. COF has traditionally been considered to be slow growing. We report a case of 11 year-old girl who presented to the ENT Department of our hospital with 7 months history of nasal obstruction, proptosis and headache. Computed Tomography scan images showed a mass in the right nasal cavity. This case is notable because involvement of the sphenoid sinus is rare. </p>

A 22-year old construction worker was shot with a fishing harpoon gun on the left side of his face. He consulted at the emergency room 12 days postinjury, stable but with blurring of vision on the right. The shaft of the harpoon was protruding at the left preauricular area; the tip was neither visible nor palpable. Craniofacial CT scan and skull anteroposterolateral radiographs revealed the tip of the harpoon to be at the right orbital apex. A hook attached 1 cm from the tip was lodged in the sphenoid sinus. The hook was dismantled from the shaft via a combined external and endoscopic transnasal approach, enabling the shaft to be gently pulled. The hook, together with the tip, were removed endoscopically. The patient’s visual acuity improved. He was discharged after 2 days on oral antibiotics with no deficits on follow-up.

ABSTRACTSchwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Trigeminal schwannomas are rare intracranial tumors. Here, we report a 35-year-old female presenting with an axial proptosis of right eyeball with right-sided III, IV and VI cranial nerve palsy. Her best corrected visual acuity in the right eye was perception of light absent and in the left eye was 20/20. MRI scan revealed a large right-sided heterogeneous, extra-axial middle cranial fossa mass that extended to the intraconal space of right orbit. A diagnosis of intracranial trigeminal nerve schwannoma with right orbital extension was made. Successful surgical excision of the mass with preservation of the surrounding tissues and orbital exenteration was done. Post-operative period was uneventful.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant bone tumor occurring most frequently in the long bones and flat bones as a solitary lesion during the first 2 decades of life. Ewing's sarcoma and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor have recently been considered to be the same entity because of histological and molecular similarities. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 25-year-old man presented with swelling in the right parietal region. Magnetic resonance imaging scans showed 2 mixed intense mass lesions in the right parietal and left frontal areas with heterogeneous gadolinium enhancement. A computed tomographic scan revealed osteolytic changes of the inner calvarial bone. Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy demonstrated abnormal uptake in the right parietal and the left frontal areas consistent with the findings on magnetic resonance imaging scans. There was no uptake lesion beyond the cranium. The patient underwent surgical excision of the right parietal lesion. INTERVENTION Histological examinations showed densely packed, small round cells with rosette formation. The cells had scanty clear cytoplasm, and regular vesicular and hyperchromatic nuclei. Electron microscopy showed little differentiation to neuronal tissue, indicating Ewing's sarcoma. After surgical treatment, conventional whole cranial irradiation of 40 Gy and chemotherapy were conducted. The tumor in the left frontal region disappeared. Follow-up examinations showed no evidence of recurrence 1 year after the surgery. CONCLUSION Although quite rare, Ewing's sarcoma should be taken into consideration as a differential diagnosis of multiple cranial mass lesions in adulthood.
