ABSTRACT Background Lymphangiomas are benign lymphatic malformations frequently seen in head and neck region. Most reported cases are cervical lesions with mediastinal extension.1,2 Most are conceived as due to failure of fetal lymph sacs. Synchronous or metachronus lymphangiomatosis with cystic hygroma of the neck is also reported.3 Case details Massive multicompartmental mediastinal lymphangioma with cervical extension and concomitant visceral involvement is presented. It is proposed as a hamartomatous tumor rather than malunion of fetal jugular lymphatic sacs.2 Solid intrathoracic component with cystic neck extension supports mediastinal origin. Cell culture lines at 4 months were positive for endothelial cell lines positive for factor VIII antigen. Conclusion Giant thoracocervical lymphangioma is more likely to be a tumor rather than simple fetal failure of lymphatic sac fusion. Surgical excision is curative.

History Of

Up to 75% of lymphatic malformations occur in the head and neck region. Of these, cystic hygromas and lymphangiomas have been widely reported; however they rarely occur in the same patient. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented to the Department of Paediatrics of a district general hospital with a short history of recurrent, painful swelling of the anterior one-third of her tongue. She was reviewed under the joint care of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Otolaryngology Teams. Relevant past medical history included a previously excised cystic hygroma from her right neck when she was aged 2 years. Diagnosis of lymphangioma was made and of the potential management options available active monitoring was favoured due to the patient’s age. To our knowledge the occurrence of both tongue lymphangioma and cystic hygroma has not been previously reported in a paediatric patient. This case report therefore shows a rare association between a cystic hygroma of the neck and lymphangioma of the tongue.

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.

Carcinoma Buccal Mucosa

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.

<p class="abstract">Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor with a thirteen percent incidence in head and neck region. Posterior triangle is the most common location while anterior neck lipoma is a rare one. Giant lipomas &gt;10 cm have been reported in different parts of the body but rarely in the anterior neck. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. We here report a case of giant anterior neck lipoma in a 50 year old male managed surgically.</p>

<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>

<p class="abstract">Lymphatic malformations of the head and neck region frequently involve the upper aero digestive tract. Patients with these lymphatic malformations may present in early infancy with sudden airway compromise. This necessitates early intervention with intubation or tracheostomy for airway stabilization. The etiology and pathogenesis of lymphatic malformations is still unclear, and a wide array of treatment modalities has been proposed. We present a case report of a neonate with a lymphatic malformation involving the upper airway, and discuss how the patient was initially stabilized with a tracheostomy, following which he underwent a series of staged procedures, including bipolar radiofrequency ablation, which eventually led to successful decannulation.</p>

Rare Diagnosis

Schwannomas/ neurilemmomas are benign tumors of nerve sheath arising from Schwann cells that form myelin sheath around peripheral nerves. They are usually solitary, slow growing and encapsulated lesions. Head and neck are the common sites. We report a case of a 38 years old Nepalese female who had presented with a solitary asymptomatic, slow growing nodule on the left side of the chin for the last three years. Dermoscopy of the lesion revealed arborizing vessels with brownish pigmentation overlying a whitish to pinkish background. Complete excision of the lesion was performed. Histopathological evaluation of the lesion revealed schwannoma. Though schwannomas are a rare diagnosis, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis of any unilateral, asymptomatic, slow growing nodule in the head and neck region. Dermoscopy is a useful tool which helps to differentiate schwannoma from other lesions. Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis and the treatment of choice is surgical excision.

Mucosal melanoma is a very rare disease. Most cases have their origins in the head and neck region. To date, only three cases of melanoma originating from the eustachian tube have been reported. We present a case of mucosal melanoma of eustachian tube origin in which a complete excision was performed. In this case, the patient underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and the mass size greatly decreased, which aided subsequent surgical excision. Systemic chemotherapy was not utilized in this case; however, it is often used for palliative purposes. A literature review is also presented.

Sizable Number

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a soft tissue malignancy most often found in the extremities of young adults; when these tumors arise in the head and neck area, they usually appear in the orbit or the tongue. Their initial behavior is relatively indolent, but over time a sizable number of these tumors recur locally and metastasize; as such, they are best regarded as fully malignant neoplasms. The derivation of these tumors remains uncertain: while some have suggested that these are tumors of muscle origin and others have postulated a neuroendocrine origin, the evidence accumulated to date is conflicting, and so these neoplasms continue to be regarded as tumors of uncertain origin. Surgical excision is the mainstay of therapy.
