Background: Lipoma is a benign tumor composed of mature white adipocytes and it is the most common soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasm. It is well separated from the surrounding tissues by a thin fibrous capsule. Lipomas occur in any part of the body that has fat tissues. 13% of such tumors are seen in the head and neck region. Angiofibrolipoma is a variant of lipoma with a prominent vascular component: Angiofibrolipoma is a subtype of lipoma composed of fibrocytes, capillaries and mature adipocytes. These tumors occur in the forearm, followed by trunk and in the extremities of young individuals. Its occurrence is very rare in the head and neck region. They are benign tumors that cause symptoms depending on their size and location. It is important to bear in mind this clinical entity in the differential diagnosis of the swellings that arise in relation to the tendon sheath. Patient and method: A patient with a recurrent swelling in the right wrist region was taken up for surgery with a clinical diagnosis of a fibrous tumor. Result: Histopathological diagnosis revealed the tumor as a rare variant of lipoma. Conclusion: This report highlights the fact that angiofibrolipoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of swellings in different regions of the body. Keywords: Angiofibrolipoma, Tendon sheath, Synovial membrane, Soft tissue tumors.

ABSTRACT Lipomas can be found anywhere in the body, with the majority being located in the head and neck region, as well as the back and abdomen. Lipomas are one of the most common benign, mesenchymal neoplasms. They may progress in size overtime and they may or may not be painful. They may be superficial or deep. Deep soft-tissue lipomas of the hand are rare. Among them, thenar intramuscular lipomas are very rare. We are reporting case of thenar intramuscular lipoma.

Sarcomas are malignant neoplasms originating from mesodermal tissues that constitute connective tissues of the body. This seven years old girl was born after an uncomplicated full term pregnancy. Her physical status at birth was unremarkable. Her younger sister is healthy. At age of one and a half year she developed swelling over posterior head and neck region that was gradually increasing. The rate of growth was more rapid from October 2014. She was admitted in National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital (NINS). Local examination showed a giant swelling 22X17X21 cm in size over posterior head and neck region, fixed to the sub-occipital bone, firm in consistency. Her general and neurological examination revealed no abnormalities.The authors present a case of a giant soft tissue fibrosarcoma of posterior head and neck of a seven years old girl. The case has been discussed.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh 2015;1(2): 65-68

Local Tenderness

Epidermoid and dermoid cysts occur anywhere from the skin covering the body. Clinicians and Surgeons often have an indicative impasse as there are plenty of cystic lesions in the Head and Neck region. Clinically, these cysts are asymptomatic that appear as uniform, round, doughy masses with a tiny surface opening. If by chance cyst gets infected the lining ruptures that spills out cheesy keratin debris into surrounding soft tissue giving rise to local tenderness and swelling.

ABSTRACT Adult fibrosarcoma (FS), defined by the World Health Organization as ‘malignant neoplasm composed of fibroblasts with variable collagen production and, in classical cases, a ‘herringbone’ architecture’, is a very rare soft tissue sarcoma. The earlier literature revealed that the adult fibrosarcoma was the most commonly occurring lesion, however the incidence of which has declined dramatically over the past several decades. This is due to evolution in the classification of soft tissue tumors, recognition of its subtypes and increased understanding of the many other mesenchymal and nonmesenchymal tumors. Sarcomas are the rare group of malignancies which accounts for less than 1% of all the body sarcomas of which 5 to 15% occurs in head and neck region. It involves deep soft tissues of extremities, trunk, head and neck. Among the head and neck region, intraoral adult fibrosarcomas are very rare without any sex predilection. A case of primary soft tissue FS in posterior mandible of an 13-year-old female patient is documented here, which will be an addition to the cases reported earlier in the literatures.

Surgical Extirpation

Free dermal-fat-fascia grafts are used for subdermal augmentation in soft tissue or bony deficiencies resulting from surgical extirpation of cancer, congenially arrested development, and trauma. The most important determinant for graft survival is the health of the recipient area and the volume of the graft. At least 70% resorption of these large grafts must be anticipated. Initial overcorrection has some justification but may be self-defeating. Calcification of dermal-fat-fascia grafts, common in other areas of the body, does not appear to be a problem in the head and neck region. When possible, other types of augmentation procedures should be considered.

Abstract Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic, inflammatory, benign disorder endemic to Asia that typically manifests as a triad of painless masses in the head and neck region, elevated eosinophils and serum immunoglobulin. It usually affects young men in their second and third decades of life and is rarely seen outside of the orient. This is a report of a case of KD in a young man of African descent who presented with a cheek mass. KD was not included in our differential diagnosis, and this report highlights the need to consider this entity, which can be easily missed due to its rarity in the Western world. There is no cure for the disease, and management includes medical and surgical modalities, but local recurrence or relapse is not uncommon.

AbstractNecrotizing fasciitis (NF) is part of the class of necrotizing soft tissue infections characterized by rapid fascial spread and necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia. If left untreated, NF can rapidly deteriorate into multiorgan shock and systemic failure. NF most commonly infects the trunk and lower extremities, although it can sometimes present in the head and neck region. This review provides an overview of NF as it relates specifically to the head and neck region, including its associated clinical features and options for treatment. Noma, a related but relatively unknown disease, is then described along with its relationship with severe poverty.

<p class="abstract">Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor with a thirteen percent incidence in head and neck region. Posterior triangle is the most common location while anterior neck lipoma is a rare one. Giant lipomas &gt;10 cm have been reported in different parts of the body but rarely in the anterior neck. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. We here report a case of giant anterior neck lipoma in a 50 year old male managed surgically.</p>
