Rare Malignancy

Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma is a rare malignancy of the head and neck region. Its diagnosis and treatment are difficult due to its rare and aggressive tumor nature and the complex anatomy of its localization. A 70-year-old male who presented with symptoms caused by this rare tumor was reported. The patient presented with pain on the left side of the head and vision loss in the left eye for 1 month, and his endoscopic biopsy was reported as undifferentiated carcinoma. This case report aimed to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma.

AbstractSarcomas are malignant mesenchymal tumours. They are relatively uncommon in the head and neck region. They are diverse affecting both soft and hard tissues. Multiple histological subtypes are recognised. There is considerable variation in their behaviour and response to treatment, both in adults and children. Historically, poor outcomes are due to multiple reasons such as paucity of standardised treatment approaches and the complex anatomy of the head and neck region. Nevertheless, surgery plays a key part in the management of sarcomas, both from an ablative and reconstructive viewpoint. The modern reconstructive techniques have improved quality of life for those undergoing surgical ablation.

Reconstruction of defects of the head and neck remains a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. This is due to the complex anatomy of the region as well as the age and comorbidities of the patients, which prevent the use of free tissue transfer as the primary tool of reconstruction. The supraclavicular artery (SCA) island flap is a well vascularised tissue and provides a thin and pliable skin for cutaneous and mucosal defects of the head and neck region. Here, we had done this flap for eight patients with no major complications and hence, we concur that it is a safe, reliable and versatile reconstructive option for these defects. The study period was from January 2015 to June 2016 where we operated on 8 patients, 5 for post burn contracture neck and 3 for post oncologic resection. The flap was used as a pedicled fascio-cutaneous and was based on the transverse supraclavicular artery. Eight cases underwent supraclavicular artery flap of which 5 were males and 3 females. Mean defect size was 15×10 cm. All the donor sites were closed with a split skin graft. One patient had distal necrosis which was managed with debridement and secondary suturing. The supraclavicular artery flap is a thin, versatile, reliable and easy to harvest flap for reconstructing head and neck defects, with good cosmetic and functional outcome.

Abstract Nuclear medicine studies often play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases. While not commonly used in everyday dental practice, the dental provider should have a conversational knowledge of these imaging modalities and understand the indications and limitations of these studies. The purpose of this review is to discuss the nuclear medicine studies that have applications in the head and neck region as well as their indications, limitations, and diagnostic conclusions that can be drawn from these studies.

Rare Malignancy

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the trachea is an extremely rare malignancy with only a few reported cases in English literature. As such the diagnosis can be frequently missed or delayed. We present a case of a 69-year-old male who underwent tracheostomy for airway obstruction secondary to glottic squamous cell carcinoma and treated definitely with radiation therapy. Subsequently, the patient developed LMS of the tracheostomy site. The case further details multiple risk factors that could contribute to development of LMS including radiation exposure, prior malignancy, and chronic inflammation. These risk factors have been well established for LMS in other sites but less so in the head and neck region, which is the subject of our discussion. We also review the current guidelines for head and neck as well as limb sarcomas and discussed role of surgery or radiation and their accompanying challenges in management of this rare malignancy.
