Aspergillosis is a common systemic mycosis which affects immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Aspergillus spp. is wide spread in the environment in most countries, which renders an invasive form of disease. The presence conidial heads are pathognomic to aspergillosis in diagnosis. Actinomycosis is a subacute-to-chronic infection that causes sinus fistula, tract or abscess due to the invasion surrounding the soft tissue. Cervicofacial infection accounts for 50%–60% of all actinomycosis cases. The mandible and nasopharynx are the sites of predilection, but maxillary infection is rare. Aspergillosis and Actinomycosis each of them was reported in case, but mixed infection of both organisms is rare, only one case has been reported. This paper discussed about a case report of coexistence of aspergillosis with actinomycosis in 38-year-old male.
Kleinsasser etal in 1968 first to describe speichelgang carcinoma, which is also called as salivary ductal carcinoma of the parotid. It is an aggressive salivary gland neoplasm. Salivary ductal carcinoma occurs exclusively in major salivary glands, parotid gland is a predominant site. It's an aggressive epithelial tumor form of that shows greater similarities to that of ductal carcinoma of female breast. It most commonly affects male. Some cases it develops from pre-existing benign lesion of the parotid. We present an atypical case of salivary ductal carcinoma in a female and to offer some clinical importance of this a typical form of carcinoma of parotid
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
