Leiomyosarcomas belong to one of the histological subtypes of soft tissue sarcomas. They most often occur in genital, gastrointestinal tract and extremities, and the appearance of these tumors in the bones (especially head and neck) is very rare. Clinically, leiomyosarcomas are aggressive tumors. Treatment is multidisciplinary and includes surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This case report presents a 61-year-old patient who was referred to a maxillofacial surgeon due to congestion of the right side of the nose, pain in the right eye, and occasional epistaxis. After complete examination, including biopsy with histopathology and immunohistochemistry, primary intraosseous leiomyosarcoma of the nose and paranasal cavities was diagnosed. Since the tumor lesion was assessed as inoperable, the treatment started with radiotherapy. Two and half years after the radiotherapy was completed, there was good local control of the disease and no dissemination. The case report illustrates the rarity of localization, challenges and difficulties in multimodal treatment, and contribution of radiotherapy to good treatment results.

Leprosy or Hansen’s disease is a chronic granulomatous infection that primarily affects the peripheral nerves and, consequently, the skin. Clinical manifestations vary from hypopigmentation to erythematous plaques, and it can present with leonine facies. We report a case of a patient with an uncommon clinical presentation of prurigo nodularis-like lesions without loss of sensation, for which two biopsy specimens demonstrated different histological subtypes. The first was the classic histology of lepromatous leprosy, whereas the other specimen revealed an atypical histoid leprosy variant pattern. This case report describes a patient with an atypical presentation of leprosy.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.
