Hydatid cyst is caused by larval stage of Echinococcus parasite, mainly/largely by E. granulosus. It usually involves one organ. It may affect many organs also. Hydatid cyst of the head and neck region is uncommon and involvement of submandibular region is very rare. Here we present a case of left submandibular region hydatid cyst. This patient is an elderly gentleman of age 61 years from Soydabad, Sirajgonj. He noticed a painless peanut size swelling in his left submandibular region 5 years back. It had started increasing in size for last 4 months and become cricket ball size. Examination revealed a soft, nontender lump in that region. Skin and subcutaneous tissues are free of lump adherence. Chest X-ray was unremarkable. CT Scan showed a benign cystic swelling. Excision was performed and pathological examination revealed a hydatid cyst.KYAMC Journal Vol. 5, No.-1, Jul 2014, Page 480-483

Important Differential Diagnosis

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.

Mediastinal cavernous lymphangioma is a benign rare lesion originating from lymphatic system. It is usually asymptomatic. We have presented a 2 year old male child with fever for seven days. Opacity was found in chest X-ray in the upper part of right hemithorax, merged with the mediastinum.CT scan of chest was performed, which revealed a large, lobulated, smoothly marginated non-enhancing, low density, mediastinal mass, involving right half, extending from root of neck. Finally, pathological examination of the surgical sample indicated ?Cavernous lymphangioma’.

Small cell carcinoma (SmCC) most commonly occurs in the lung and rarely arises from the head and neck region. Further, composite SmCC is extremely rare. Therefore, no postoperative treatment strategy has been established. We report a 59-year-old male patient referred to our outpatient clinic for further examination and treatment of a laryngeal tumor. Biopsy from the tumor revealed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The preoperative diagnosis was supraglottic SCC (T3N2bM0), and total laryngectomy and bilateral neck dissection were performed. Pathological examination revealed 2 individual cancer components: SmCC and SCC. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy (2 courses of cisplatin (CDDP) and etoposide (VP-16)) was indicated. Following the postoperative chemoradiotherapy, 2 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy were administered. The patient is currently alive with no evidence of disease at 36 months following the completion of therapy. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy are optimal treatment strategies for laryngeal composite SmCC.

Prostate cancer (PC) is prone to bone metastases, but very rarely it can spread to soft tissues. In the head and neck region, PC can metastasize to the orbital soft tissue, causing various symptoms such as vision loss. In this report, we describe the case of a 79-year-old man with PC metastasis in the orbital apex. He presented to an ophthalmologist at our hospital with progressively worsening vision in his left eye over 3 to 4 months. He complained of a drooping eyelid in the same eye; thus, intracranial disease was suspected. Closer inspection with head computed tomography revealed a space-occupying lesion from the orbit to the posterior ethmoid sinus, and he was referred to our department. He had a history of PC, and we performed endoscopic sinus surgery for the diagnosis of malignancy, including metastasis of PC. As a result, the mass was diagnosed as PC metastasis by pathological examination. The patient began androgen blockade therapy and 3 months postoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the extraconal orbital mass had decreased significantly. It is important to determine the metastases of PC in the paranasal region when the patient has a preexisting medical history.

Hamman’s syndrome is a rare condition represented by spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema. Excessive Valsalva maneuver during vaginal delivery and excessive retching, coughing, and straining are frequently reported causes. The incidence of Hamman’s syndrome is believed to be 1 in 100,000 deliveries. The pathophysiology of this condition is rupture of alveoli and seepage of air through bronchovascular connective tissue. Diffusion of air to subcutaneous tissues results in subcutaneous emphysema. In most cases, it is a benign condition and resolves spontaneously. In life-threatening cases, a cardiac tamponade can ensue. Chest X-ray is a useful early diagnostic technique. We report a case of a twenty-four-year-old female who was diagnosed with Hamman’s syndrome after prolonged, exhaustive labor.

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease endemic in different regions of the world. Cardiac localization represents only 0.5 to 2% of all attacks, characterized by clinical, paraclinical and especially radiological polymorphism. Its spontaneous development is serious because of the risk of endocavity rupture. The diagnosis is facilitated by means of non-invasive imaging, in particular echocardiography, thoracic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Given the lack of alternative treatment options, cystectomy and pericystectomy are the only surgical techniques capable of offering chances of recovery with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Antiparasitic treatment comes in addition to surgery. Eradication of hydatid disease mainly involves effective collective and individual preventive measures. We present a clinical case of a 54-year-old patient who presented with asthenia followed by precordial pain, who has a normal EKG and chest x-ray. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) a mass that bulges in the lateral aspect of the left heart chambers. The thoracic tomodensitometry objectified a cystic image which bulges in the left cardiac chambers suggesting a cardiac hydatid cyst. A hypereosinophilia was objective in the biological assessment. The patient was sent to the cardiovascular surgery department for surgery.

Hydatid cyst of the lung has been seen in 30% of the cases of hydatidosis in some series. In our case presentation, a 29-year old female, gravida 1, referred to the hospital with acute and severe pain in the lower left hemithorax, while she was in the 26th week of pregnancy. The pain was pleuritic and was accompanied with tachypnea. The patient was hospitalized with suspected pulmonary embolism. The chest X-ray and computed tomography showed a cystic mass in the lower left lung. After a diagnosis of hydatid cyst, the patient underwent surgery and all of her symptoms were resolved. As Albendazole is a medication from pregnancy category C, and since in our case, the patient underwent surgery and all of her symptoms were resolved, we can conclude that surgery is a safe and appropriate treatment for Hydatid cyst of the lung in pregnancy.

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive proliferation of fibroblasts in the subcutaneous tissues. It usually affects the trunk and upper extremities, and rarely the head and neck region of young adults. It is rare among children and the histologic findings may incorrectly suggest malignant lesions. We describe a two-year-old girl that referred to our clinic with complaints of fever and swelling on the right side of neck and diagnosed as lymphadenitis clinically. Cervical lymphadenitis due to nodular fasciitis is a rarity. We emphasize that nodular fasciitis needs to be included in the differential diagnoses of neck lymphadenitis during childhood. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i2.9548J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(2):141-143
