A Rare Benign Tumor of Vocal Cord: Myxofibrolipoma

ABSTRACT Laryngeal lipomas are rare. Most of these arise from the aryepiglottic folds of which intrinsic tumors most frequently originate from the false vocal cords. The present case report describes a giant tumor arising from true vocal cord, and that too with a rare histopathology which revealed lipoma with myxomatous degeneration and fibrous changes. Clinical features, management and relevant literature are discussed. How to cite this article Kanaujia SK, Soni A. A Rare Benign Tumor of Vocal Cord: Myxofibrolipoma.

First Time

Objectives The lesion distribution of juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) during first-time surgery has been rarely reported. The purpose of this study was to describe the anatomical distribution of papilloma across 25 Derkay sites during initial surgery and to assess the impact of the lesion distribution on disease severity. Methods Surgical videos and medical records of 106 patients with JORRP (27 aggressive and 79 nonaggressive cases) were retrospectively reviewed. Lesion locations were recorded using Derkay anatomical sites. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of the lesion distribution on disease severity. Results Among the 106 patients, the true vocal cords (90.6% left, 84.0% right) were the most frequently involved site, followed by the false vocal cords (39.6% left, 35.8% right) and the anterior commissure (26.4%). Two patients (1.9%) had tracheal involvement. Patients with false vocal cord involvement (odds ratio [OR] = 3.425, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.285, 9.132], P = .014) and a younger age at diagnosis (OR = .698, 95% CI [.539, .905], P = .007) were more likely to require more than 4 procedures in the year following first-time surgery. Conclusions Lesions were most common on the true vocal cords. False vocal cord involvement and a younger age at diagnosis were risk factors for disease severity.

Vocal Cord Paresis

<p class="abstract">Bilateral vocal cord paresis is an extremely rare complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with no case reported prior to this. We present a case of a 38 years old gentleman who suddenly developed aphonia and aspiration symptoms following ERCP. A rigid laryngoscopy done showed adductor paresis of bilateral vocal cords causing his symptoms, which was presumed to be a complication of the ERCP. He was treated conservatively and clinically improved with time. The present case report emphasizes that bilateral vocal cord paresis could occur as a complication of ERCP.</p>

Localized Laryngeal Amyloidosis

Localized laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare and benign process. Only three cases have been reported in children. We present the case of a 9-year-old girl with localized laryngeal amyloidosis that was excised via laryngofissure. The patient presented with a 3- to 4-week history of progressive hoarseness. Direct laryngoscopy revealed a smooth, firm, submucosal mass extending from the anterior aspect of the left false vocal cord to the vocal process. Biopsy of the mass revealed findings consistent with amyloidosis. The mass was approached via laryngofissure and excised with the thyroid cartilage and left true vocal cord left intact. An extensive workup for systemic amyloidosis was negative, including bone marrow biopsy. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, with good vocal quality and a sluggish but mobile left true vocal cord. This case is significant because of the young age of the child, the extent of disease, and the use of laryngofissure for excision.

Heterotopic Salivary Gland Tissue (HSGT) of the larynx is an extremely rare pathology, with only 8 cases reported in English literature. We are reporting 2 cases of HSGT in the larynx which we encountered in our practice. The first one is a unique presentation of a 45 year old female with HSGT in bilateral false vocal cords. While the second case is 50-year-old male patient with HSGT in the left false vocal cord and subglottic region. With these 2 cases, we would be discussing about the clinical presentation of this rare anomaly and add to the literature.

Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Testicular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin is a rare benign tumor of testis, which usually presents as a slow growing testicular mass. Intratesticular fibroma of gonadal stromal origin, with or without minor sex cord elements, must be considered, analogous to similar tumors in ovary, as a benign tumor. Until now, only 25 cases of testicular fibroma have been reported in the literature. We reported a case of testicular fibroma in a 20 years male who presented with painless right testicular enlargement since two years. Ultrasonography (USG) showed heterogeneous mass in right scrotum suggestive of testicular malignancy. Right orchidectomy was done. Histopathological diagnosis was testicular fibroma, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Introduction: Telemedicine is an increasingly prevalent component of medical practice. In otolaryngology, there is the potential for telemedicine services to be performed in conjunction with device use, such as with a nasolaryngoscope. This study evaluates the reliability of remote examinations of the upper airway through an iPhone recording using a coupling device attached to a nasopharyngolaryngoscope (NPL). Methods: A prospective, blinded study was performed for pediatric patients requiring an NPL during an office visit. The NPL was performed using a coupling device attached to a smartphone to record the examination. A second, remote otolaryngologist then evaluated the recorded examination. Both otolaryngologists evaluated findings of anatomic sites including nasopharynx, oropharynx, base of tongue, larynx including subsites of epiglottis, arytenoids, aryepiglottic folds, false vocal cords, true vocal cords, patency of airway, and diagnostic impression, all of which were documented through a survey. Results of the survey were evaluated through inter-rater agreement using the κ statistic. Results: Forty-five patients underwent an NPL, all of which were included in the study. The average age was 4.9 years. The most common complaint requiring NPL was noisy breathing (n = 16). The inter-rater agreement for overall diagnosis was 0.74 with 80% percent agreement, rated as “good.” Other anatomic subsites with “good” or better inter-rater agreement were nasopharynx (0.75), oropharynx (0.75), and true vocal cords (0.71), with strong percentage agreement of 89%, 91%, and 87%, respectively. Both users of the adaptor found the recording setup to run smoothly. Conclusion: A telemedicine device for NPL use demonstrates strong diagnostic accuracy across providers and good overall evaluation. It holds potential for use in remote settings.

Accessory Parotid Gland

Diagnosis of mid-cheek mass has always been a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. The incidence of the accessory parotid gland (APG) has been well documented in the literature. However, a diverse spectrum of pathologies can arise from this accessory parotid tissue. Basal cell adenoma is a rare benign tumor that predominantly affects the parotid gland. Its occurrence in the accessory parotid gland has been documented in 9 cases till date. Surgical approaches for the management of such APG lesions have been in debate. This report documents a case of Basal Cell Adenoma arising in accessory parotid tissue in a 55-year-old woman who was treated by transoral excision. This paper also reviews previously documented cases of all APG lesions and attempts to elucidate the rationale for selecting an appropriate surgical approach.

Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare, benign tumor that affects males more frequently than females and that tends to be diagnosed during the fifth or sixth decade of life. It tends to arise on cardiac valves, with the aortic valve being the most frequent location followed by the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, and the pulmonary valve. We present the case of a robotic-assisted, totally endoscopic excision of a mitral valve papillary fibroelastoma.
