Penetrating foreign body in the head and neck can be catastrophic from injury to the constellation of vascular and neural structures in the neck. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention is imperative to save lives. Herein, we present an unusual case of iatrogenic foreign body—a coiled guidewire embedded in the deep neck space. The complications, radiological investigation and multidisciplinary surgical management are further discussed.
Nasal septal abscess and hematoma are rare clinical entities. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been 2 cases of nasal septal abscess associated with haematological malignancy reported in the literature. Herein, we present a unique case of recurrent spontaneous nasal septal hematoma and abscess in a patient prior to and after the diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia. Its rarity in immunocompromised population, clinical presentation, treatment and complications are further discussed.
Rosai-Dorfman disease is a distinct non-malignant clinicopathological entity involving both nodal and extranodal tissue. Its clinical presentation can mimick other benign and malignant lesions. We report a lady presented with sinonasal mass suspicious of malignancy. Various investigation modalities were employed to achieve the diagnosis. She was managed conservatively and remained well. This report serves to highlight such rare clinical entity which follows a significantly different natural course than malignant disease despite sharing similar initial presentation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 04 October’18.
