Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of thyroid is a rare tumour first described in 1987. It’s cytological and histopathological features are very close to other thyroid neoplasms specially papillary and medullary carcinoma. So misinterpretation of cytological feature may lead to a total thyroidectomy whereas a lobectomy is enough to cure this benign condition. Here we present such a case in a 30-year-old female patient and review the diagnosis and management DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjo.v18i2.12018 Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2012; 18(2): 203-206

Polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma is a slow growing tumor mainly arises in minorsalivary glands in oral cavity. The frequency of regional lymph node and distant metastasis arevery low in this tumor. Careful examination of histolopathological specimen is necessary asfeatures frequently overlap with that of pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.Local excision is the treatment of this condition. Recurrences and distant metastasis werereported in literature many years after surgery. So, long term regular follow up is required inthis group of patients.DOI: 10.3329/bjo.v16i1.5784Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2010; 16(1): 66-69
