Introduction: Lipomas among the most common benign neoplasms and rarely observed in parotid glands. We present a new case of lipoma in the superficial and deep lobes of the right parotid gland. Case report: A 52-year-old woman with painless and progressive inflation in the right preauricular region was referred to us. Computed Tomography scanning showed a hypodense area 5.2×4 cm in dimension in the right parotid gland region, and the facial nerve was fully exposed. The patient underwent parotidectomy, during which extensive removal of the mass was done. The pathology report cited a yellow-colored fatty tissue mass, 5×4×2 in dimension. In the microscopic report, lipoma of the parotid gland was seen.Conclusion: Determination of the exact tumor location is very important in the surgical approach in such cases. To our knowledge, this case seems to be an extremely rare case of lipoma in the superficial and deep lobes of the parotid. [GMJ. 2012;1(2):88-90]

Parotid Swelling

An interesting case of Kimura's disease was described in the 42-year-old patient manifesting itself as a unilateral parotid swelling, albeit the disease usually affects both parotid glands. Furthermore, first pathohistological finding was not suggestive of the disease, revealing only fatty tissue, but on the repeated biopsy together with CT the correct diagnosis was established. It should be emphasized that Kimura's disease has to be taken into account while making differential diagnosis in parotid gland swellings, especially in people of Oriental origin.

Abstract Background An adenomyoma is a well circumscribed form of adenomyosis and can be located within the myometrium, in the endometrium as a polyp, or extrauterine with the last being the rarest presentation amongst the three. With the ongoing advancement in gynecological surgery, the use of electromechanical morcellators have made the removal of large and dense specimens possible with minimally invasive techniques. However, it has also caused an increase in complications which were previously rare. Whilst the tissue is being grinded within the abdominal cavity, residual tissue can spread and remain inside, allowing for implantation to occur and thereby giving rise to recurrence of uterine tissue as a new late postoperative complication. Case presentation A 45-year-old woman presented with worsening constipation and right iliac fossa pain. Her past surgical history consists of laparoscopic supra-cervical hysterectomy that was indicated due to uterine fibroids. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were done, which showed an irregular lobulated heterogeneous mass seen in the presacral space to the right, located on the right lateral aspect of the recto-sigmoid, measuring 4.5 × 4.3 × 4.3 cm in size. A transvaginal ultrasound revealed a cyst in the left ovary. The patient had a treatment course over several months that included Dienogest (progestin) and Goserelin (GnRH analogue) with add-back therapy. In line with the declining response to medications, the patient was advised for a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. During the surgery, an additional lesion was found as a suspected fibroid and the left ovarian cyst was identified as pockets of peritoneal fluid which was sent for cytology. The surgical pathology report confirmed adenomyosis in both specimens, namely the right mass and the initially suspected fibroid. Conclusion In this case report, we showcase a rare occurrence of an extrauterine adenomyoma presenting two years post laparoscopic morcellation at hysterectomy. This poses questions regarding the benefits versus risks of power morcellation in laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Myoepithelial carcinoma is identified by nearly exclusive myoepithelial differentiation and evidence of malignancy. It may arise de novo or in preexisting benign tumors including pleomorphic adenoma and benign myoepithelioma. It occurs most commonly in the parotid gland followed by submandibular glands, minor salivary glands, and occasionally in the sublingual gland. Nasopharyngeal origin has been rarely reported. Methods/Case Report An afebrile 19-year-old female presented to the emergency department with persistent facial pressure, otalgia (right side greater than left side), rhinorrhea, and several episodes of epistaxis. One month before, she has been treated with Amoxicillin for three days with no relief, where Augmentin started for her for five days. About four days prior presentation, she was placed on Prednisone and Cefdinir. Over the next several days, she began having throat pain with difficulty swallowing. Routine blood work revealed a leukocytosis of 14.2 with normal differentiation. CT of the neck showed a large soft tissue mass centered at the right nasopharynx. Flexible nasal endoscopy performed bilaterally to reveal the nasopharynx is entirely obstructed with a lobulated mass filling the nasopharynx. On the right side, it extends into the posterior nasal passage filling the sphenoethmoid recess and the posterior floor of the nasal passage. Outpatient biopsy from nasopharynx mass is also performed. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) Mass biopsy reveals a mucinous and chondromyxoid background with mixed epithelial and myoepithelial differentiation. The is squamous metaplasia of myoepithelial cells and prominent mitotic activity and apoptotic activity. Immunohistochemistry was positive for CK5/6, calponin, BCL2, SMA, BerEp4, Sox10, and a proliferative index up to 40%. Based on this information Myoepithelial Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma of the nasopharynx is the diagnosis. Conclusion Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is usually a high-grade malignancy. It occurs most commonly in the parotid gland, followed by submandibular glands, minor salivary glands, and occasionally in the sublingual gland. Our case is one of the few cases of myoepithelial carcinoma arising in nasopharyngeal pleomorphic adenoma.

Response Testing

A case of functional dysacusis was subjected to routine as well as electric response testing. Test results were unreliable and electrical cortical responses to stimuli delivered to the right ear were so poor that the results could not be utilized. A marked difference between the raw EEG tracings was observed when stimuli were switched between left to right ears. This fact was eventually used to determine the hearing threshold level of the right ear.

Abstract Background: Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor is an extremely rare soft tissue sarcoma which was firstly described in 2003 but until recently it had been designated as a definite new entity. According to the previous literatures, Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor was almost exclusively occurred in gastrointestinal tract.Case presentation: A 62-year-old male showed a mass in right atrium and the occupying mass was founded on the right ventricular diaphragm and involved the right atrium along the coronary sinus during the operation. Microscopically, the tumor characterized by the solid sheet and pseudopapillary focally architectures, and was composed of small to medium cells with round or oval nuclei, variable amount of eosinophilic or clear, and frequent mitotic figures. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for S100 and SOX-10 but negative for HMB-45, A103 and CD99. EWSR1-AFTF1 rearrangement was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization and further confirmed involving fusion of EWSR1 exon 8 with ATF1 exon 4 by whole transcriptome sequence analysis.Conclusions: This is the first case report of extra-gastrointestinal Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor that occurring in the right atrium，which remind of the new prospect of the tumor location.

Pendahuluan: Sialolithiasis adalah penyakit umum kelenjar saliva. Gejalanya termasuk pembengkakan kelenjar yang terlibat, terutama selama makan, dan nyeri tekan, yang mungkin mereda tetapi dapat kambuh kembali. Sialolith terjadi terutama di kelenjar submandibula (80-90%) dan pada tingkat yang lebih rendah di kelenjar parotid (5-20%). Sialolith bisa tunggal atau jamak. Multipel sialolith di kelenjar submandibula jarang terjadi. Tujuh puluh dari delapan puluh persen kasus memiliki sialolith tunggal, hanya sekitar 5% pasien yang memiliki tiga atau lebih sialolith. Faktor etiopatogenesis terkait dengan pembentukan sialolith adalah obstruksi, penurunan laju aliran saliva, dehidrasi, infeksi kelenjar saliva, dan terganggunya kelarutan kristaloid. Tujuan penulisan laporan kasus ini untuk menjelaskan etiopatogenesis dan terapi kasus multipel sialolithiasis kelenjar submandibula. Laporan kasus: Seorang wanita 24 tahun datang dengan pembengkakkan dan nyeri pada submandibula kanan. Radiografi panoramik menunjukkan massa radiopak terdefinisi dengan baik dalam submandibula kanan. Interpretasi ultrasonografi menunjukkan massa tak homogen hypoechoic dengan kalsifikasi ganda. Pengangkatan kelenjar submandibula dilakukan dengan pendekatan ekstraoral. Laporan kasus ini menunjukkan Gambaran sebanyak sembilan sialolith di kelenjar submandibula, yang dihilangkan dengan pendekatan ekstraoral. Simpulan: Etiopatogenesis dari pembentukan multipel sialolithiasis pada duktus kelenjar, yaitu faktor mekanis, inflamasi, kimiawi, dan infeksi. Diperkirakan bahwa alkalin serta saliva kental yang mengandung banyak sel mukus, memiliki persentase kalsium fosfat lebih tinggi seperti pada kelenjar saliva submandibula yang mendukung pembentukan sialolith. Pengangkatan kelenjar submandibula beserta sialolith dilakukan sebagai standar baku perawatan dan dapat menghindari kekambuhan. Pasien kontrol kembali satu minggu pasca operasi dengan kondisi baik dan dijadwalkan untuk pemeriksaan radiografis ulang enam bulan kemudian untuk memastikan tidak terjadinya pembentukan sialolith baru di saluran kelenjar saliva.Kata kunci: Multipel, sialolithiasis, kelenjar submandibula. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Sialolithiasis is a common disease of the salivary glands. Symptoms include the glands inflammation, especially during eating, and tenderness, which may subside but may recur. Sialoliths occur mainly in the submandibular glands (80-90%) and to a lesser extent in the parotid glands (5-20%). Sialolith can be singular or plural. Multiple sialoliths in the submandibular gland rarely occur. Seventy out of eighty per cent of cases have a single sialolith. Only about 5% of patients have three or more sialoliths. The etiopathogenetic factors associated with sialolith formation are obstruction, decreasing salivary flow rate, dehydration, salivary gland infection, and impaired crystalloid solubility. The purpose of this case report was to describe the etiopathogenesis and treatment of multiple cases of submandibular gland sialolithiasis. Case report: A 24-year-old woman presented with inflammation and pain in the right submandibular. Panoramic radiograph shows a well-defined radiopaque mass in the right submandibular. Ultrasound interpretation revealed a hypoechoic homogeneous mass with multiple calcifications. Removal of the submandibular gland was carried out with an extraoral approach. This case report showed the appearance of as many as nine sialoliths in the sub-mandibular gland, removed by an extraoral approach. Conclusion: Etiopathogenesis of the formation of multiple sialolithiasis in the glandular duct are mechanical, inflammatory, chemical, and infectious factors. It is thought that alkaline and thick saliva, which contains many mucus cells, has a higher percentage of calcium phosphate than in the submandibular salivary glands, which support the formation of sialoliths. Submandibular gland removal along with the sialoliths is performed as the treatment standard, which can avoid recurrence. The control visit is carried out one week postoperatively in good condition, and the patient is scheduled for another radiographic examination six months after to ensure that no new sialoliths occurred in the salivary gland.Keywords: Multiple, sialolithiasis, submandibular gland.

CONTEXT: Paranasal sinus cancer is considered rare, with an incidence of less than 1 per 100,000 per year, with the frontal sinus being the primary site in only 0.3%. We report a case of adenocarcinoma arising in the frontal sinus. DESIGN: Case report. CASE REPORT: A 59-year-old woman, secretary, came in February 1998 with a 4-month history of low intensity frontal headache. She denied contact with wood dust. On examination a non-tender swelling was noted over her right forehead next to the medial aspect of the right orbit. CT scan showed a soft-tissue mass involving frontal sinus with intracranial invasion through the posterior wall. The anterior ethmoid sinus and the medial aspect of the right orbit were also involved. MRI demonstrated dural thickening in communication with the frontal mass. She underwent an en-bloc tumor resection by craniotomy including orbital clearance. Histology revealed an adenocarcinoma. After surgery she had tumor recurrence, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy were started resulting in partial improvement.

This case series reports familial cases of nodular oncocytic hyperplasia (NOH) diagnosed in a mother and her son, 15 years apart. A 39-year-old man presented in 2003 with a lump below his left ear. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed showed multifocal parotid nodules and a diagnosis of NOH was histopathologically confirmed following left total parotidectomy. Two years later, he represented with similar symptoms on the right side. NOH was diagnosed following excision of his right parotid gland. In 2018, his 73-year-old mother presented with left ear pain and a lump below her left ear. An MRI scan showed multiple lesions within both parotid glands and bilateral NOH was once again diagnosed following a left superficial parotidectomy and right total parotidectomy. We believe that this is the first reported case of bilateral familial NOH.
