ABSTRACT Shwannoma, better known as neurilemmomas, are benign, slow growing, usually solitary and encapsulated tumor, originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. They are exceedingly rare in the base of tongue and, therefore, not immediately thought of as a differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal tumors. However, the key to the diagnosis lies in the histopathologic examination. A number of surgical approaches have been proposed for tongue base Schwannomas with varying degree of postoperative morbidity. We report a case where a 19-year-old woman presented to us with progressive dysphagia, occasional dysarthria, and was found to have a large tongue base lesion. Diagnosis was confirmed by imaging studies and biopsy. Transoral laser assisted excision of the tumor was done. Histologic identification of Antoni A and B areas along with strong and diffuse staining with S-100 stain confirmed the diagnosis of Schwannoma.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasm which rarely occur in the oral cavity. Of the total reported cases of lipoma, only about 15% to 20% of cases have occurred in the head and neck region and the tongue is an even rarer site with only about 4% of the reported cases occurring in that region. They are slow growing and usually asymptomatic in nature. When it grows to a large size, it can hinder the physiological processes that are associated with the area. This case report describes the diagnostic features of tongue lipoma with a brief review of literature.

ABSTRACT Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands and has both epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. It most commonly arises from the parotid or submandibular glands. Rarely, it arises from the minor salivary glands. We report here a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the soft palate and both sides of anterior tonsillar pillars in a 75-year-old man. This patient was presenting painless slow growing large swelling in the soft palate over 20 years causing mechanical obstruction of airway and food. The entire tumor mass was excised along with overlying mucosa. How to cite this article Swain SK, Sahu MC, Tripathy R.

<p>Chondroma is a benign tumour of mature hyaline cartilage.It is common in the tubular bones the hands and feetand conspicuous by its rarity in the mandible. We hereby present an interesting case of chondroma of the mandibular condyle that was managed in our department. The antecedent radiological findings and postoperative histopathological peculiarities of the case are discussed. This case also focuses the negligent attitude of our society towards one’s health problems until they are fraught with beliefs of cancer. Chondroma of the mandibular is a rare, benign slow growing tumour. Condylectomy is considered adequate treatment for all condylar masses. Surrounding margins of healthy soft tissue is also excised to prevent recurrences. </p>

Papillary cystadenocarcinoma is a very rare slow growing malignant neoplasm characterized by cysts and intraluminal papillary projections. It is defined by WHO as a separate entity. On FNA, cytological features can mimic with various papillary and cystic neoplasms of salivary gland. It is also difficult to distinguish from benign salivary gland neoplasms as it has bland nuclear features. Thus we present cytomorphological features and discuss its differential diagnosis with neoplasms having prominent papillary architecture with review of literature.

<p class="abstract">Ameloblastomas, in general, are considered benign but locally invasive neoplasms. They present as slow growing, painless swellings and can grow to enormous sizes over the years. While planning the treatment of ameloblastoma, it is important to understand the growth characteristics and removing the full extension of tumor, including the surrounding tissue. Recurrence of ameloblastoma in many cases reflects the inadequacy or failure of the primary surgical procedure. We report a case of giant multiloculated ameloblastoma of the mandible with destruction of the cortical plate and extensive and rapid infiltration of the buccal mucosa. Along with the clinical and imaging features, the importance and method of ruling out malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma in such a case is discussed.</p>

Epidermoid Cysts

Epidermoid cysts, dermoids, gliomas, and meningo-/encephaloceles are the most important differential diagnoses in congenital nasofrontal masses. Since they arise from an abnormal fusion during fetal development, intracranial extension of the lesion has to be ruled out radiologically before therapy. Dermoids are the most common entity. We report about a congenital epidermoid cyst of the glabella and nasion that had been growing over the last two years before presentation in a 24-year-old patient. We discuss radiological imaging and the different surgical approaches described in literature.

ABSTRACT Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are benign, slow growing, usually solitary and encapsulated tumor, originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Extracranially, 25% of all schwannomas are located in the head and neck region. The intraoral lesions show a predilection for the tongue, followed by the palate, buccal mucosa, lips and gingiva respectively. Among these, base of tongue schwannoma are extremely rare. Schwannomas involving the tongue base remain asymptomatic unless they attain appreciable size. Diagnostic investigations include ultrasound scanning, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fine-needle aspiration cytology. MRI is superior to other imaging modalities for the examination of the base of the tongue. The definitive diagnosis is based on histopathology. Surgical excision or enucleation with preserve nerve function is the treatment of choice for this rare tumor. The most common approach for complete excision is transoral route for base of tongue schwannoma. Authors report a case of base of tongue schwannoma which was treated with surgery by transoral route.

A 77-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging midline neck mass. On further investigation he was found to have synchronous thyroglossal duct cyst and extranodal mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) localized to the base of tongue. Both pathologies were managed simultaneously with a surgical approach and the patient remained in clinical remission at the time of publication without indication for systemic oncological treatment. Histology revealed primary extranodal nonblastoid MCL forming a base of tongue mass, with colonization of the thyroglossal duct cyst. Lymphoma was also found in the epithelium of a crypt-like tract traversing one of the tongue base tumor sections. This tract was anatomically and histologically consistent with documented descriptions of the foramen cecum. This case report illustrates a previously undescribed temporal, clinical, and histological association between a base of tongue MCL and symptomatic thyroglossal duct cyst. We provide evidence for a potential causal relationship for the presentation of the thyroglossal duct cyst as a result of oropharyngeal MCL, in the absence of clinical and histological evidence of disseminated disease, directly infiltrating from its tongue base origin to the infrahyoid neck region, potentially via an embryologic foramen cecum remnant. We also highlight the crucial role of the histopathologist in multidisciplinary clinicopathological discussion in demonstrating how fundamental embryological and microanatomical relationships can unite apparently separate diseases.
