A literature review reveals that gout has been described as affecting many sites in the head and neck region, both in the arthritic and tophaceous form. Gout can often mimic malignancy or infection, and has been described as causing acute airway problems requiring emergency tracheotomy. Here we describe the first published case of tophaceous gout affecting the soft tissues overlying the nasal bones. The patient presented with a bony, hard, dorsal hump and requested aesthetic rhinoplasty.We also describe an endoscopic technique for removal of tophi using a powered microdebrider system with a protected burr head. Endoscopic powered microdebrider blade excision of tophi affecting the limbs has already been described, with reduced complications when compared with conventional curettage and debridement techniques. This is the first such application to the nose.

Whilst dental healthcare professionals naturally focus on assessment of the teeth and the supporting tissues, they also have an important role in assessing the whole oro-facial complex and the neck. Assessment of the neck is particularly important, not least, because it contains the regional lymph nodes that are involved in immune surveillance of the head and neck region. The neck also contains the major salivary glands: the sub­mandibular gland and the tail of the parotid gland. Mid-line structures include the hyoid bone, larynx, and trachea, along with the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands. The assessment of these anatomical structures should form part of the routine clinical examination. The dis­covery of an abnormality in the neck, which may not have been noticed by the patient, may expedite the diagnosis of significant disease and facilitate a timely intervention. A through understanding of the anatomy of the neck is essential and informs the clinical examination. It is also important to understand the concept of the anatomical levels that map out the lymph node groups of the neck (Chapter 1; Fig. 1.2). Accurate assessment of the neck is usually best achieved by a combination of visual inspection and palpation, with the patient in a slightly reclined position, the clinician standing behind the patient. Any lumps, e.g. enlarged lymph nodes, are described by anatomical site, size, consistency (cystic, soft, rubbery, hard), whether the lump is mobile or fixed to the underlying tissue, and if palpation elic­its pain or discomfort. The combination of these parameters will help to formulate the differential diagnosis; for example, an isolated hard lump that is fixed to underlying structures is likely to represent meta­static cancer, whereas, bilateral soft lumps that are mobile and painful to palpation are likely to represent lymphadenitis as a consequence of systemic infection. Ultrasound examination can be used to ascertain important informa­tion about a neck lump such as the site (precise anatomical location, superficial or deep), size, consistency (solid or cystic), and multi-focality. Doppler settings can help to establish the vascularity of a lesion and its proximity to major vessels.

An osseous choristoma is a benign tumor consisting of regular bone tissue in an irregular localization. Choristomas in the head and neck region are rare. Most frequently, they are found in the region of the tongue or oral mucosa. There are also very few reports on osseous choristomas in the submandibular region. We present the case of a woman with a large, caudal osseous choristoma within the lateral cervical triangle. Literature review is given about all of the reported cases in the region of the neck. The pathogenesis is yet unexplained. Our case supports the theory that the development of an osseous choristoma is a reaction to a former trauma. Cervical osseous choristomas are seldom, but they represent an important differential diagnosis when dealing with a cervical tumor.

Mucosal melanoma is a very rare disease. Most cases have their origins in the head and neck region. To date, only three cases of melanoma originating from the eustachian tube have been reported. We present a case of mucosal melanoma of eustachian tube origin in which a complete excision was performed. In this case, the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and the mass size greatly decreased, which aided subsequent surgical excision. Systemic chemotherapy was not utilized in this case; however, it is often used for palliative purposes. A literature review is also presented.

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a soft tissue malignancy most often found in the extremities of young adults; when these tumors arise in the head and neck area, they usually appear in the orbit or the tongue. Their initial behavior is relatively indolent, but over time a sizable number of these tumors recur locally and metastasize; as such, they are best regarded as fully malignant neoplasms. The derivation of these tumors remains uncertain: while some have suggested that these are tumors of muscle origin and others have postulated a neuroendocrine origin, the evidence accumulated to date is conflicting, and so these neoplasms continue to be regarded as tumors of uncertain origin. Surgical excision is the mainstay of therapy.

The pancreas is an organ that plays a key role in the digestive process, preparing food ingredients such as proteins, fats and carbohydrates for adequate absorption in the small intestine. Today, a wide range of pathological conditions is known in which the tissue of the pancreas is affected and its functions are lost. The literature review examined various diseases that phenotypically manifest as pancreatitis, as well as various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Liposarcoma is a very rare malignant tumor affecting the head and neck area. Since it is an invasive and life-threatening disease, active treatments is necessary. However, differential it from lipoma, its corresponding benign counterpart, may be difficult. Herein, we report a rare case of posterior neck myxoid liposarcoma in a 72-year-old man who was initially misdiagnosed with lipoma, including a literature review of differential diagnosis between lipoma and liposarcoma.

Actinomycosis is an atypical cause of infection in the head and neck area, especially in children. A rare incidence of actinomycosis, its nonspecific clinical signs that mimic other pathological conditions, as well as a complicated identification of microorganism lead to diagnostic delays in clinical practice. Besides an accurate diagnosis, it is of an utmost importance to pinpoint relevant predisposing factors, which might result in the infection. We present a clinical case of actinomycotic infection of the thyroid gland in the pediatric patient at our department.

Abstract Background- Head and neck vascular anomalies are a spectrum of lesion ranging from simple asymptomatic malformations to life-threatening airway vascular tumors. Management of these lesion poses a real challenge to even most experienced otolaryngologists.Systematic evaluation and prompt diagnosis and judicial choice of treatment are essential for proper management of these lesions. Material and methods-A retrospective review of the head and neck vascular anomalies over three years, from 2017 to 2019 in a tertiary referral centre. Clinical features, radiology, treatment and follow-up data were studied.We did a literature review to give a comprehensive analysis regarding the diagnosis and treatment of the vascular anomalies of the head and neck region. Results- A total of 25 patients were managed in our department in two years. Of these 25 patients, three patients had infantile haemangioma(12%), six patient had congenital haemangioma(24%), six patients had lymphatic malformation(24%), four patient had an arteriovenous malformation (16%), and six patient had venous malformation (24%). Sixpatients (24%) underwent surgery as treatment, which includes one case of noninvoluting congenital hemangioma (NICH) of the temporal bone, one facial AVM, twolateral neck lymphangiomas, one skull base lymphangioma and a venous neck malformation. All the infantile h a ema n gi oma s we rema n a g e d w i t h o ra l propranolol, three lymphatic malformations underwent sclerotherapy, while the three Arteriovenous malformations (AVM), 􀃶ve congenital haemangiomas and four Venous malformations (VM) were under observation. Conclusion-Managing a vascular anomaly requires a prompt diagnosis based on the ISSVA classi􀃶cation, patients' symptoms and the location of the lesion. Not all vascular anomaly requires active management. Careful case selection and a multidisciplinary team are essential for adequate management of the vascular anomalies. Key Words: Vascular Malformation, Hemangioma, Lymphangioma
