Multinodular adult rhabdomyoma in the base of the tongue excised conservatively using submental midline approach with hyoid bone split: A case report

ABSTRACT Thyroglossal cyst is a congenital condition of the neck where the painless swelling is found in the midline of the neck in between the foramen cecum of tongue base and sternal notch. Condition is common in children. Thyroglossal fistula is either secondary to infection or drainage of a misdiagnosed abscess. Here we are presenting a case of thyroglossal fistula with its opening over the chest and a cord extending from the hyoid bone to the chest causing restriction of the neck movement. Thyroglossal fistula opening in the chest, i.e. over the sternum is very rare and not been reported in any literatures. Treatment of this type of thyroglossal fistula is same as other types, i.e. Sistrunk's operation, where tract along with part of the hyoid bone is to be removed to prevent recurrence. We are reporting this case for its rare occurrence. How to cite this article Rout MR, Mohanty D, Bobba K, Meta C, Karri S. Presternal Thyroglossal Fistula: A Rare Case Report.

In order to determine factors that may contribute to deglutition problems following supraglottic horizontal laryngectomy or its modified techniques, clinical records of 38 patients were studied. Contribution of the following factors was investigated: Age; sex; tumor classification; radical neck dissection; extent of and symmetry in removal of the aryepiglottic folds, arytenoid cartilages, and false folds; removal of the base of the tongue, hyoid bone, and a part of the vocal folds; extent of removal of the epiglottis and thyroid cartilage; cricopharyngeal myotomy; and some complications and concomitant diseases. The results suggest that removal of the arytenoid cartilage and asymmetrical removal of the false folds contribute to deglutition problems. We conclude that the standard supraglottic horizontal laryngectomy associated with surgical approximation of the larynx to the base of the tongue and cricopharyngeal myotomy does not usually cause serious deglutition problems. When the arytenoid cartilage is removed, reconstruction of the structure is required for the prevention of severe aspiration.

Base Of The Tongue

AbstractObjective:We present an extremely rare case of isolated angiokeratoma of the tongue.Method:Case report and review of related literature.Results:An 18-year-old, male adolescent presented with a fleshy, intermittently bleeding mass in the posterior third and base of the tongue. The lesion was initially suspected to be a lingual thyroid or haemangioma, but histopathological features were consistent with angiokeratoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the lesion extended up to the vallecula and involved the lamina propria and superficial tongue musculature. No similar lesions were found elsewhere in the body. No metabolic derangements were identified in the patient or his family. The 2.6 × 1.5 × 0.5 cm mass was excised under general anaesthesia.Conclusion:We present the 1st case of isolated lingual angiokeratoma in a male, the 4th such case overally, the largest ever documented. The lesion was situated in the posterior third and base of the tongue, a position not previously described.
