Abstract Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell proliferative disorder arising outside the bone marrow. It shows a predilection for the head and neck region. They commonly involve the mucosa associated lymphoid tissues of upper airways. Common sites are nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses followed by nasopharynx, tonsils and oropharynx. We report a case of an isolated lesion in the right nasal cavity in an elderly male in which surgical excision is followed by postoperative radiotherapy.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm most commonly originating in the minor salivary glands of head and neck region. Among intra oral adenoid cystic carcinoma, buccal mucosa is one of the rarer sites. Here, we report a case of recurrent adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right buccal mucosa in a 33 year old female. As this is an uncommon site for adenoid cystic carcinoma, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of mass of buccal mucosa. It is imperative that we identify such cases and plan for early surgical excision with adequate margins.

Gossypiboma or retained surgical sponge is an infrequently encountered surgical complication, more so in the head and neck region. A literature search did not reveal a previously reported case of retained or concealed surgical sponge after microscopic ear surgery. We present a unique and previously unreported case of a 25-year-old male who presented with a cystic swelling in the right supra-aural region 5 months post-modified radical mastoidectomy of the right ear. Surgical excision of the swelling revealed a retained surgical sponge. We emphasise the importance of counting surgical sponges after every surgical step to minimise the incidence of such retained surgical items.

Abstract Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare neoplasm characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. It is most often located in the head and neck region. Extramedullary Plasmacytomas are more predominant in males who are in the 5th – 6th decade. In this report, this patient, who is a young female, presented to our clinic with history of intermittent nasal obstruction for the past year. She was diagnosed with extramedullary plasmacytoma and was subjected to radiotherapy. The clinical and histopathologic findings of plasmacytoma are discussed. In order to exclude systemic involvement, a systematic approach using clinical, laboratory and radiologic investigations was performed. Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the nasal cavity is rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nasal cavity masses, especially in the young age group.

Solitary Extramedullary Primary Plasmacytoma (SEMPP) is a rare neoplasm. When diagnosed, head and neck region is its most likely location. Rarely, it may occur in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of an elderly male who  was admitted in the department of surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) with a Solitary Extramedullary  Retroperitoneal Primary Plasmacytoma (SEMRPP). Subtotal excision of the mass was done. The patient was referred to the department of Oncology DMC for radiotherapy. The first report of an extramedullary plasmacytoma was in 1905 in Taiwan. To the best of our knowledge, there was no report of a Solitary Extramedullary Retroperitoneal Primary Plasmacytoma (SEMRPP) from Bangladesh.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbcps.v30i3.12467 J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2012; 30: 167-169

ABSTRACT Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare neoplasm characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells in soft tissues. Extramedullary plasmacytomas constitute 3 to 5% of all plasma cell neoplasms. Most lesions occur in the head and neck, primarily in the upper aerodigestive tract, with 75% occurring in nose and paranasal sinuses. To the best of our knowledge, only few cases of sinonasal extramedullary plasmacytomas have been reported in the literature. It is important for otolaryngologists to acquire knowledge of this disease as 80 to 90% occur in the head and neck region. We report a rare case of extramedullary plasmacytoma of the nasal cavity in a 60-year-old male managed by surgery and radiotherapy. How to cite this article Tandon S, Meher R, Chauhan A.

Mucosal melanomas of the head and neck region are uncommon pathologies that can affect the oral cavity, and are characterized by a high rate of mortality. Considering the lack of knowledge regarding risk and prognostic factors, current best clinical practice is represented by a large surgical excision with disease-free margins, eventually associated with a reconstructive flap. Indeed, given the frequent necessity of postoperative radiotherapy and fast healing process, a reconstruction of the surgical gap is advisable. Even if several flaps have been most commonly used, the submental island flap represents a valid alternative thanks to local advantages and similar oncologic outcomes compared to free flaps.

Typical Morphology

Nevus comedonicus is an uncommon cutaneous developmental defect of follicular apparatus characterized by unilateral and linear distribution of bundles of dilated hair follicles filled with keratin plugs. It is usually seen on the head and neck region, trunk and upper arm. This condition may be present at birth or can occur later in life. The term nevus comedonicus is a misnomer as there are no true comedones and is better termed as follicular keratotic nevus. It is also known as nevus zoniforme or nevus acneiformis unilateralis. There are two types of nevus comedonicus, namely inflammatory and non-inflammatory (non-pyogenic). When nevus comedonicus is manifested with other extracutaneous symptoms, it is termed as nevus comedonicus syndrome. Diagnosis is mainly clinical, based on history and typical morphology. As the disease runs a benign course, no aggressive treatment is required. Patients seek treatment, especially for cosmetic purposes and inflammatory type of lesions. Various treatment modalities like topical therapy, surgical excision, lasers are available and treatment options are individualized based on the size and extent of the lesion. We herein present a case of unilateral nevus comedonicus with no systemic associations in a 30-year-old female on her lower limb which is not a common site of occurrence.

Ewing’s sarcoma is an aggressive tumor rarely found in the head and neck region and extremely rare in the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses (2-3% of all Ewing’s sarcomas). Purpose: The article presents a clinical diagnostic case of nasal cavity Ewing’s sarcoma finally verified only by IHC test. Results: The presented clinical case describes Ewing’s sarcoma of the nasal cavity in a 14-year-old girl and presents the clinical picture, the results of MRI and CT examination of the sinuses, histopathological and IHC tests. Adequate diagnostical tools made it possible to establish a diagnosis. Timely determined treatment tactics, taking into account the tumor localization and possible postoperative complications, led to tumor remission. At present, the patient is under dynamic observation. Conclusion: The presented clinical case confirms that a primary nasal cavity Ewing’s sarcoma diagnostic largely depends on histopathological examination since visual diagnostic techniques do not provide reliable information on the tumor type.

Background: Approximately 25–45% of schwannomas are typically slow-growing, encapsulated, and noninvasive tumors that occur in the head-and-neck region where they rarely involve the retropharyngeal space. Here, we report deep-seated benign plexiform schwannoma located in the retropharyngeal C2-C5 region excised utilizing the Smith-Robinson approach. Case Description: A 30-year-old male presented with dysphagia and impaired phonation attributed to an MR documented C2-C5 retropharyngeal schwannomas. On examination, the lesion was soft, deep seated, and extended more toward the right side of the neck. Utilizing a right-sided Smith-Robinson’s approach, it was successfully removed. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a plexiform schwannoma. Conclusion: Retropharyngeal benign plexiform schwannomas are rare causes of dysphagia/impaired phonation in the cervical spine. MR studies best document the size and extent of these tumors which may be readily resected utilizing a Smith-Robinson approach.
