<p class="abstract">Angiosarcoma of the nasal cavity is extremely uncommon accounting for less than 0.1% of all sinonasal malignancies. Here we report a case of angiosarcoma of nasal cavity. A 45 year old male patient with c/o right sided nasal bleeding since 20days, on examination showed mass in nasal cavity. Patient underwent septoplasty with right inferior turbinectomy with submucosal diathermy. The histological examination showed features of angiosarcoma epitheloid variation of nasal cavity, diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistological stain with factor CD 31 and cytokeratin.</p>
Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum with an incidence of 0.15 cases per 100,000. Ninety percent of all thymoma occur in the anterior mediastinum, with the remainder occurring in the neck or other mediastinal areas. Ectopic cervical thymoma (ECT) is an extremely rare tumor that originates from ectopic tissue and is caused by the aberrant migration of the embryonic thymus. ECTs are often confused with thyroid or parathyroid swellings due to their anatomical positioning. Intrathyroid epithelial thymoma is a rare tumour comprising about 0.08% of all primary thyroid malignancies. It is low-grade thyroid carcinoma with squamous cell differentiation whose overall survival rate was found to be 71%. Here we presented a case of 43 year old female, came with swelling in front of the neck since many years. Ultrasound neck and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed. Patient underwent total thyroidectomy and specimen obtained was sent for histopathological examination. It revealed ectopic intrathyroid thymoma.
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.
