A Rare Case of Low Flow Vascular Malformation of Head and Neck Region Presenting with Multiple Phleboliths

<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>

Rare Case Report

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

ABSTRACT Synovial sarcomas of head and neck are very rare and account for only 3% of all sarcomas. Approximately 5% of synovial sarcomas arise in the head and neck region and hypopharynx and larynx are the most and least often affected anatomic sites respectively. We describe a rare case of primary hypopharyngeal synovial sarcoma in a young adult. How to cite this article Jamshed A, Loya A, Tirmazi AH, Hussain R. Synovial Cell Sarcoma of the Hypopharynx.

Life Threatening

Background: Low flow vascular malformations are most common in the head and neck region. Only symptomatic malformations require treatment. Sclerotherapy followed by surgery was considered the gold standard treatment but in the head and neck region, it may produce cosmetic and physiological defects. In the present study, multiple injections of sclerotherapy with 3% sodium tetradecyl sulphate was used for the treatment of low flow vascular malformations.Methods: Twenty cases of low flow vascular malformations of the oral cavity who presented in the outpatient department of ESIC Model Hospital, Ludhiana from 2014-2016 were selected for the study. Only significantly sized (>4 cm) and easily accessible lesions were included. Staged sequential sclerotherapy with 3% STS under strict fluoroscopy control was used as the sole treatment.Results: A total of 20 patients were taken of which, 25% required three sessions, 65% five to six sessions each and 10% required eight sessions each. All patients showed good results with complete regression and no mucosal ulceration.Conclusions: Staged sequential sclerotherapy with 3% STS should be the treatment of choice in low flow vascular lesions involving mucosal and cutaneous structures of head and neck region especially anterior two-thirds of tongue, palate, gingiva, buccal mucosa and lips. Surgical removal may affect critical neurovascular structures and cause cosmetic deformity. So the removal is advisable in life-threatening conditions, lesions requiring general anaesthesia and single sitting removal.

Angiogenic Potential

BACKGROUND: Vascular tumors are a heterogeneous group of diseases with biological behavior ranging from a hamartomatous growth to frank malignant. The pathophysiology of lymphangioma, vascular malformation and hemangioma is interconnected, blood vessels known to be the site of origin of hamartomas, venous malformations and some neoplasms as benign, tumor-like growth of vessels (hemangiomas). Angiogenesis is the process of formation of new blood vessels from an existing structure. Aims of study Assessment of angiogenic potential in benign vascular lesions (hemangioma, lymphangioma and lobular capillary hemangioma) of head and neck region. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of Hemangioma/vascular malformation, thirty of lobular capillary hemangioma and another twenty of lymphangioma to be stained with Endothelial cell-Specific Molecule-1 (ESM-1) monoclonal antibody. Results: Microvessel density expressed by Endothelial cell-Specific Molecule-1 (ESM-1) immunomarker was found in all cases with mean density of (37.44±23.16) for lobular capillary hemangioma and (25.02±13.89) for hemangioma and (6.34±3.52) for lymphangioma. According to post hoc test ESM-1 marker expression showed a high significant difference between (hemangioma and lymphangioma=0.001), (lymphangioma, pyogenic granuloma=0.000), and it was significantly different between (hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma=0.011) Conclusions: The obvious capillary growth in lobular capillary hemangioma revealed that lobular capillary hemangioma showed the highest activity of angiogenic potential in comparison to hemangioma and lymphangioma.

Hemangiomas of the head and neck region comprise about 60 to 70% of all benign tumors. Intramuscular hemangioma is a rare, slow-growing, angiomatous tumor. We report a rare case of an Intramuscular Hemangioma of Right sternocleidomastoid muscle in a six years old girl presenting for four years and with extensive involvement necessitating excision. Microscopic excision reduces the risk of recurrence.

Local Recurrences

Angiomyxomas are relatively a group of uncommon myxoid mesenchymal tumors characterized by frequent local recurrences and show lack of malignant potential. Basically three types of angiomyxomas are recognized superficial, aggressive, and angiomyofibroblastoma. Though the angiomyxomas are rarely reported in the head and neck region, the paper shows reported cases intraorally in the buccal mucosa and floor of the mouth. Here, the authors report a rare case of angiomyxoma presenting as a growth in the upper posterior alveolar mucosa.
