Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare, aggressive, malignant mesenchymal tumor of skeletal muscle cells. The pleomorphic histological variant of RMS occurs in adults beyond 45years of age and represents the most aggressive subtype with an incidence of approximately 0.44/100,000. The diagnosis of RMS is difcult with the 5year overall survival rate less than 50%. It presents varied clinical and biological behavior and requires individualized management. The common region of metastasis includes lymph nodes, lungs and bone marrow. Here we report a case of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in 58year old female. The patient reported with a swelling in the neck region and had a history of surgical treatment for ovarian tumor. Histopathology ndings revealed metastatic undifferentiated carcinoma. The case was positive for immunohistochemistry markers and their ndings are diagnosed as pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. This is a rare case of RMS which had metastasized to head and neck and this article emphasizes the importance of IHC in accurate and clear diagnosis of RMS.

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

History Of

The separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth causes formation of dentigerous cyst. It may undergo metaplasia in several cases. In this case a 30 year old female patient reported with a history of dentigerous cyst with respect to impacted 48. The swelling started growing gradually causing facial asymmetry. On intraoral examination the swelling seem to extend from 48 to 46 region and cortical plates were expanded. The histopathological examination revealed the sample to be cystic ameloblastoma (mural variety). This paper sends a message that the potential of a cyst should never be understated, instead it must be kept in an observation or understanding the biological behavior over a course of time.

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

Rare Case Report

Background: Osteosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that occurs most often in long bones, with the head and neck region being rarely affected, accounting for less than 1% of all cancers in this region. Objective: To report a rare case of a large-extension osteosarcoma with emphasis on its clinical and diagnostic aspects. Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presenting an intraoral exophytic lesion with involvement of other maxillofacial structures, such as nostril, zygoma and orbit. Despite the initial clinical diagnosis of actinomycosis, an incisional biopsy confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of osteosarcoma, showing a wide morphological variety. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of clinical and histopathological findings for the correct diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Moreover, it shows that, although surgical resection is the primary treatment for this neoplasia, depending on the extent of the tumor and its proximity to vital anatomical structures, the most appropriate conduct is not always feasible.

Investigations of the oral function of patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) to the head and neck region are relevant for the overall quality of life. Considering the possible impact of the side-effects on nutrition, the recovery of these patients might be impaired. This study aimed at investigating the oral condition of patients submitted to RT to the head and neck region. A single-center, cross-sectional mixed analysis assessing the oral conditions of patients before RT (group 1) and after 12-months of RT (group 2) was performed. Following inclusion and exclusion criteria consideration, fifty (n=25) patients were included in this study. A calibrated examiner conducted the oral examination, the following variables were assessed: a) DMF index: decayed, missing and filled teeth; b) xerostomia and dysgeusia, subjective assessment of salivary function and taste; c) simplified oral hygiene index – OHI-S, with plaque disclosing solution; d) unstimulated sialometry, assessment of salivary function. Statistical analysis compared the groups considering a significance level of 5%. The group evaluated after 12 months of RT showed high rate of dry mouth (92%) and dysgeusia complaint (72%) while no patient reported in group 1. Statistically significant difference was observed in the comparison of group 1 and 2 regarding DMF index (> 64%), OHI-S index (>38%), and unstimulated sialometry (<70%). Patients submitted to RT to the head and neck region for the treatment of cancer experience oral complications even at 12 months after the last session of RT.

<p class="abstract">Schwannoma are slow growing tumours, which can arise from any peripheral nerve. 10% of schwannomas that occur in the head and neck region mostly originate from the vagus or sympathetic nervous system. Extracranial schwannomas in the head and neck region are rare neoplasm. Intraoral schwannoma are only 1% of the all head and neck tumours. Diagnosis is established by imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, while FNAC is used to rule out other conditions. We report a rare case of lingual schwannomas generally present as a painless lump schwannoma of the tongue in a 27-year-old male complaining of asymptomatic swelling over a posterolateral surface of the tongue, treated by complete surgical excision. The diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination. We report a rare case of schwannoma over the posterolateral surface of tongue. Prognosis is good for the patient when this condition is correctly diagnosed as the condition rarely recurs after complete resection.</p>

Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth commonly seen in the maxillary arch and the talon cusp is a rare dental developmental anomaly seen on the lingual surface of anterior teeth. This paper presents a rare clinical case of development of talon cusp in a mesiodens with multiple lobes, which interfered with both occlusion and appearance of an 11-year-old patient. During clinical interview, the patient reported difficulty on mastication. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed that a supernumerary tooth with completely formed root was causing an occlusal interference. The supernumerary tooth was diagnosed as multi-lobed mesiodens associated with a palatal talon cusp. The treatment plan consisted in the extraction of the supernumerary tooth followed by orthodontic treatment for diastema closure and tooth alignment.

Tumors located in the maxillofacial part of the body were classified by WHO in 2017 and among these are intraosseous form of fibromatosis known as Desmoplastic and Cemento-ossifying fibromas. These tumors usually occur in the head and neck region, especially in the mandible and are relatively rare in the maxilla. Meanwhile, this study aims to discribe a rare case of the cemento ossifying fibroma that had been previously diagnosed as desmoplastic fibroma with a mass tumor in the anterior of the maxilla. A 22 years old female reported to the Cipto Mangkusumo Hospital with the main complaint of a lump in the right side of the upper jaw which appeared 2 years prior to the operation. In April 2017, the patient had a biopsy in Tarakan Hospital and the result was a desmoplastic fibroma. Due to the lump enlargement, the patient was admitted to RSCM in July 2019 and had biopsy incision with a diagnosis of cemento ossifying fibroma which was confirmed by the histopathological examination and histology report. The resection of the right part of maxilla was conducted alongside with reconstruction using the free fibular flap. Moreover, cemento ossifying fibroma and desmoplastic fibroma shared similar features, namely, clinical, histological and radiological features which are important in establishing the diagnosis and treatment of patient. Hence, extensive enucleation or resection is required due to the progressive nature of the tumor to prevent the potential for further recurrences.
