ABSTRACT Introduction Cysticercosis is a condition that occurs when humans are infested by the larvae of Taenia solium, acting as an intermediate host instead of definitive occurrence in neural and extra-neural forms. The latter commonly involves subcutaneous tissue, skeletal muscles, and eyes. Aims and objectives Oral cysticercosis is a rare event, and it represents great difficulty for clinical diagnosis. In present report we report a case of cysticercosis in the right submandibular region where it presented as a large, soft cystic swelling and tried to explain the clinical sign & symptom of oral cysticercosis. We emphasize on the importance of ultrasonographic and routine microscopic examinations for the diagnosis of even apparently innocuous lesions in submandibular regions. Results This is a very rare case of oral cysticercosis showing neck swelling extended from the lower border of the mandible to the thyroid cartilage. The diagnosis was made by sonography and confirmed by gross and microscopic examination of cysticercosis cellulosae. In ultrasonography, there was well-defined cystic lesion with hyperechoic eccentric tiny nodules. How to cite this article Chandak RM, Chandak MG, Rawlani SM.

<p>Human cysticercosis is a common tropical disease which is caused by Cysticercus cellulosae, larvae of a tapeworm, Taenia solium. Cysticercosis can involve any tissue in the body; the most common affected sites are central nervous system, subcutaneous tissue, eyes, and muscles. Extensive intramuscular Cysticercosis without any other systemic involvement is a very rare finding. Here, we report a case of intramuscular Cysticercosis incidentally diagnosed by plain radiographs in a 51 year-old man who presented with osteoarthritis right knee joint and Cysticercosis was an incidental finding.</p>

Lipomas are adipose mesenchymal neoplasms. The oral cavity is not commonly affected. representing about0.5% to 5% of all benign oral tumors. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic yellowish mass.The overlying epithelium is intact and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumour. Although benign in nature their progressive growth may cause interference with speech and mastication due to tumour’s dimension. The present report shows the case of a 52-year old male who presented with a large intraoral lipoma with extension to the right submandibular region.

Objective: Cervico-facial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex and rare vascular lesions, and present in 0.1% of the population. Of traumatic or congenital origin, they are characterized by variable growth, and their complications can be disfiguring and potentially fatal. The treatment of choice is embolization followed by surgery if necessary. The main complications are recurrence and postoperative bleeding. Case report: We report the rare case of a 59-year-old female patient who underwent embolization of a right upper labial and jugal AVM, followed by complete necrosis of the right hemi-palatal mucosa associated with dental mobility and pain. Follow-up at 6 months showed complete reepithelialisation of the palate.  Conclusions: Soft tissue necrosis after AVM embolization is a rare event and is more commonly described after embolization for epistaxis. The evolution is generally favourable within a few weeks.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this report is to introduce a rare case in which an infected keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) was initially diagnosed and treated as a dentoalveolar abscess. Background Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a benign neoplasm that can be secondarily infected. However, cervical soft tissue abscess formation as a result of an infected odontogenic cyst or tumor is a rare condition few of which have only been described in the existing literature. Also, there has been a single report regarding the coincidence of a traumatic bone cyst and a keratocytic odontogenic tumor to date. Case report The patient was a 29-year-old male, complaining of fever, pain and swelling in the left submandibular region. The panoramic radiography showed a well-defined and partially corticated radiolucency between the roots of the second and third left mandibular molars. In addition, a well-corticated radiolucent lesion was incidentally found on the right side of the mandible, which, following surgical exploration, was diagnosed as a traumatic bone cyst. Conclusion In the present report, an infected KCOT manifested as a cervical abscess, coincided with a traumatic bone cyst. Clinical significance From the clinical point of view, it is of paramount significance to prevent misdiagnosis of similar presentations as pulp and periapical lesions, which may lead to mistreatment and thus complications.

Floating thrombus in a non-aneurysmal and non-atherosclerotic brachio-cephalic trunk is an extremely rare event with potentially catastrophic complications. There is a risk of both peripheral and cerebral embolization. We present a very rare case of floating thrombus in the brachio-cephalic trunk that presented with advanced ischaemia of the right upper limb. Confirmation of the diagnosis was done by CT angiogram. The upper limb symptoms were relieved by thrombectomy, supported by anticoagulation. For floating thrombus in the brachiocephalic trunk, the patient was started on aggressive anticoagulation therapy and there was significant resolution after two weeks and complete resolution after one month.

A 73-year-old Chinese origin woman presented with a right neck swelling associated with recent swallowing issues and hoarseness. She had an apparent goitre and a right posterior neck swelling. An ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration demonstrated papillary thyroid carcinoma in both thyroid lobes and right neck lymphadenopathy. While awaiting total thyroidectomy and neck dissection she presented with haemoptysis. She was found to have an exophytic mass in right pyriform fossa. The CT scan confirmed an intralaryngeal extension of the thyroid mass via thyroid cartilage and metastatic disease in the lung. Unexpectedly histology showed that the tissue from the right pyriform fossa was squamous cell carcinoma and papillary carcinoma in the thyroid was confirmed. She had synchronous cancers in the thyroid and hypopharynx. Synchronous tumours are a big challenge to diagnose and to treat. In her case the CT scan was misleading. We discuss this unusual presentation of synchronous head and neck cancers and difficulty in managing them.

Cysticercosis is caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium (Pork tape worm). Humans are the definitive hosts where the life cycle is completed and pig is the intermediate host. Incidence in India varies from 2-38% based on the consumption of pork, general hygiene and socio-economic status of the population. The parasite on reaching the small intestine encysts itself in various tissues. Most commonly Brain, Eyes, subcutaneous tissue. Intravitreal cyst is the commonest intra ocular presentation. Death of the parasite and release of the contents of the cyst causes an intense inflammatory reaction that can be devastating. We report the condition in a nine-year-old boy who presented with mild right upper lid swelling wherein cysticercus cellulosae cyst was found within the mass of the right lateral rectus muscle. It becomes important to report this case because of the unusual site of the cyst which masqueraded as a lipo-dermoid.

Extraosseous Ewing Sarcoma

Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma is a rare, poorly differentiated round-cell tumour that is part of the Ewing sarcoma family of tumours. Here, we present an extremely rare case of primary extraosseous Ewing sarcoma arising in the larynx, with distant metastases.    A 53-year-old man with a history of Hodgkin lymphoma treated 4 years earlier with 8 cycles of chemotherapy presented to our medical centre with a 2-week history of hoarseness. On physical examination, he was found to have a right supraglottic mass together with a fixed right vocal cord. Computed tomography imaging of the patient’s neck showed a heterogeneously enhancing lesion measuring 5.0×3.8×3.8 cm, centred on the right thyroid cartilage and invading the right true vocal cord. Imaging by integrated fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography and computed tomography showed active subcarinal and axillary lymph nodes, multiple scattered lung nodules, and multiple bony metastases. Needle core biopsy of the laryngeal mass was diagnostic for Ewing sarcoma. The patient received radiation to the laryngeal area and then alternating cycles of vincristine–actinomycin-D–cyclophosphamide and etoposide–ifosfamide. The patient remains in remission 1 year after completing therapy.    As demonstrated in the present report, these tumours can behave very aggressively both locally and by metastasizing to distant organs. Our treatment approach provided favourable results for the patient; however, future reports are needed to further elucidate optimal management.

Swellings of the head and neck region present great difficulty in accurate diagnosis as well as proper management. Swelling associated with the maxilla and mandible has a tendency to be provisionally diagnosed as orofacial space infections, which is the most common cause for acute swelling in this region. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasonogram and computed tomography can be used in supporting diagnosis. It usually occurs due to the process of lymphocyte-induced cystic ductular dilatation and the confirmatory diagnosis is always made postoperatively by histopathological examination. The mainstay in the treatment of a lymphoepithelial cyst remains the surgical approach, which includes complete enucleation of the cyst along with total excision of the involved salivary gland. Here we present an interesting case of swelling in the right submandibular region which was provisionally diagnosed as submandibular space infection, but later proven histopathologically as a lymphoepithelial cyst of the submandibular gland.

<p class="abstract">Schwannomas are uncommon neurogenic tumors that are typically benign, slow growing, and asymptomatic. Upto 45% of schwannomas arise from the head and neck region, the sites of origin are: face, scalp, intracranial cavity, orbit, nasal and oral cavities, parapharyngeal space, middle ear, mastoid, larynx, and medial and lateral regions of the neck.  The age distribution is 30 to 70 years and male:female 3:1. Symptoms and signs are neck swelling (54%), pain (11%), cranial nerve palsy (10%), oropharyngeal swelling (8%), dysphagia (6%) and trismus, otalgia (11%). This case is being presented because it is the rare case of neck swelling.  A young male patient aged 22 yrs, presented with complains of swelling in right side of neck since 6 months. Patient also complains of difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in breathing and change in voice since 4 months. On examination of neck, a diffuse swelling noted at right level III neck, extending from the superior border of thyroid cartilage up to the level of hyoid bone.  Horizontally the swelling was extending from mid thyroid cartilage till the anterior border of sternocleidomastoid muscle. On examination of swelling, a pink smooth globular mass seen pushing the right aryepiglottic fold anteriorly obscuring the laryngeal inlet. No pooling of saliva. elective tracheostomy was done, through lateral cervical approach, mass was excised in toto and extubated after 7 days.</p>
