Penetrating arrow injuries of the head-and-neck region: Case series and review of literature

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a very rare, atypical myofibroblastic tumor with fibromatosis-like features with predilection mostly in head and neck region. LGMS occurs primarily in adult patients with a slight male predominance. Only few cases of LGMS affecting the larynx have been reported in literature to this date. We describe a case of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma of the larynx in a 40-year-old male patient. The clinicopathological characteristics, immunohistochemical ﬁndings and treatment are discussed.

High Index Of Suspicion

Background: The aim of the study was to highlight the varied and changing presentations of head and neck tuberculosis, discuss the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment.Methods: This was a 5 years retrospective analysis of patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) of the head and neck region. Results: 43 patients with EPTB were studied. Most had cervical lymphadenopathy (35), 9 had laryngeal, 7 tuberculous otitis media, and one patient each of PNS, oropharyngeal and retropharyngeal involvement. 8 patients had pulmonary TB, 2 had Potts spine, and 5 gave history of previous TB. FNAC was effective in nodal disease, PPD test positive in 20% and HPE was used to make the diagnosis in other types.Conclusions: TB is re-emerging as a significant cause of morbidity. Diagnosing EPTB requires high index of suspicion. Cervical lymphadenopathy is the commonest presentation, followed by larynx, and then ear. FNAC is a reliable and convenient way to diagnose lymphadenopathy. Hitopathological examination needed for confirmation, and for other sites. Further investigations are needed to exclude pulmonary or systemic TB. All patients should be categorised into proper category of anti-tuberculous treatment (ATT) and treated according to ATT regimen.

Skin Appendages

AbstractEpidermoid cysts are non odontogenic, developmental pathologies occurring in the head and neck region with an incidence ranging from 1.6% to 6.9%. Ambiguity about their exact pathogenesis exists and several theories have been postulated. Histologically they have cystic capsule lined by squamous epithelium without skin appendages. We have described a case of an epidermoid cyst in the lateral eyebrow region and its effective management with a brief review of literature.
