Histopathological Report

Trichilemmal cyst, also known as Pilar cyst, is a rare, slow growing, benign, adnexal skin tumour usually arising in scalp followed by other parts in head neck region. It contains keratin and its breakdown products. We present a case of young male patient who presented with gradually progressive painless s w e l l i n g i n t h e n e c k a n t e r i o r l y a n d clinicoradiologicaly masquerading as classical thyroglossal cyst. The mass was excised and the nal histopathological report came out as Trichilemmal cyst, thus giving a diagnostic surprise. Keywords: Trichilemmal cyst, Pilar cyst, Thyroglossal cyst

<p class="abstract">Schwannomas are uncommon neurogenic tumors that are typically benign, slow growing, and asymptomatic. Upto 45% of schwannomas arise from the head and neck region, the sites of origin are: face, scalp, intracranial cavity, orbit, nasal and oral cavities, parapharyngeal space, middle ear, mastoid, larynx, and medial and lateral regions of the neck.  The age distribution is 30 to 70 years and male:female 3:1. Symptoms and signs are neck swelling (54%), pain (11%), cranial nerve palsy (10%), oropharyngeal swelling (8%), dysphagia (6%) and trismus, otalgia (11%). This case is being presented because it is the rare case of neck swelling.  A young male patient aged 22 yrs, presented with complains of swelling in right side of neck since 6 months. Patient also complains of difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in breathing and change in voice since 4 months. On examination of neck, a diffuse swelling noted at right level III neck, extending from the superior border of thyroid cartilage up to the level of hyoid bone.  Horizontally the swelling was extending from mid thyroid cartilage till the anterior border of sternocleidomastoid muscle. On examination of swelling, a pink smooth globular mass seen pushing the right aryepiglottic fold anteriorly obscuring the laryngeal inlet. No pooling of saliva. elective tracheostomy was done, through lateral cervical approach, mass was excised in toto and extubated after 7 days.</p>

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a solitary, benign, reactive gingival overgrowth frequently arising from the interdental papilla. It is commonly seen in second decade in females. It is usually painless and slow growing, commonly seen in the anterior aspects of the jaws. The etiopathogenesis of the peripheral ossifying fibroma is not clearly established and the treatment of the lesion includes complete surgical removal along with the removal of causative factors to prevent recurrence. We report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a young male patient.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 01 No. 02 July’17. Page : 83-85

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm is believed to be of mesenchymal origin and usually presents as pleural based mass. SFT are rare in the head-neck region but are extremely uncommon intra-orally. The patient was a young male who presented with difficulty in mouth opening. Examination revealed a submucosal nodule on the buccal surface which was histologically and immunohistochemically proven to be SFT. Authors wish to discuss the case due to its rarity and diagnostic difficulties due to many common histological mimickers at that site.

Solid-cystic hidradenoma is a benign cutaneous tumor with eccrine sweat gland origins that is most commonly found in the head, neck, trunk, and upper extremity regions of patients in the middle to older age groups. These lesions are generally asymptomatic, slow-growing, solitary, and nonulcerative in presentation. Degenerative malignant transformation of this tumor is very rare. In this case report, the authors describe the marginal surgical excision and subsequent microscopic pathologic diagnosis of a moderate sized solid-cystic hidradenoma of the dorsolateral forefoot in a middle-aged male patient.

Objective Current recommendations for cochlear hydrops treatment include systemic glucocorticoids and diuretics. Cochlear cells express dopamine receptors, although their role is unknown in the pathophysiology of cochlear hydrops. Case Description We report the case of remission of recurrent right-sided cochlear hydrops in a young male patient treated with bromocriptine due to pituitary macroprolactinoma. Transient improvement was observed after oral steroid and diuretic treatment, but cochlear hydrops recurred until the dose of bromocriptine was increased to 10 mg daily. Conclusion Bromocriptine may stimulate dopamine receptors in cochlear cells with potential therapeutic role in patients with cochlear hydrops. There are no widely accepted and effective treatments for endolymphatic hydrops, and identifying potential new and efficacious therapeutics is of high relevance.

SummarySevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), produces protean manifestations and causes indiscriminate havoc in multiple organ systems. This rapid and vast production of proinflammatory cytokines contributes to a condition termed cytokine storm. A 35-year-old, otherwise healthy, employed, male patient was tested positive for COVID-19. He was admitted to the hospital on disease day 10 due to retarded verbal reactions and progressive delirium. On account of these conditions and the need for noninvasive/invasive ventilation, a combination treatment with baricitinib and remdesivir in conjunction with standard of care was initiated. The cytokine storm was rapidly blocked, leading to a vast pulmonary recovery with retarded recovery of the central nervous system. We conclude that the rapid blockade of the COVID-19-induced cytokine storm should be considered of avail as a principle of careful decision-making for effective recovery.

ABSTRACT The tissue interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme are few of the events which result in pathological processes. One such interaction of epithelium and lymphoid tissue may result in lymphoepithelial lesions in the oral cavity. Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is a rare developmental cystic lesion of the oral cavity with various histogenetic implications. Documented cases of LEC of the tonsil are low in number in the literature. We are hereby reporting a case of LEC of the tonsil in a male patient with review of literature. How to cite this article Somashekara KG, Priya NS, Rao K, Shantharam L.
