Primary oral neoplasms are relatively common. They tend to have positive neck adenopathy at presentation. Metastatic deposits are rare, and mainly reported to the soft tissue of the oral cavity and to the jawbones. The possible primaries include gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. We report a case of an oral cavity mass with initial complaint of toothache and neck swelling with multiple neck nodes. Biopsies taken from the left retromolar trigone and supraclavicular lymph node revealed poorly differentiated metastatic adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography scan suggested primary lung cancer. Early detection of lung cancer should be the clinician’s concern. The presence of an oral mass already indicates a late stage of lung cancer with poor prognosis.

Sensorineural hearing loss can be attributed to many factors. Acoustic trauma, noisy environment, genetic syndromes, inner ear infection and tumors are the known well-established causes. Some of them are treatable but many of those are nonreversible. Recent literatures have shown some data that suggest this type of hearing loss also occurring post anesthesia, particularly in spinal anesthesia cases. Others claim that this hearing loss is temporary and clinically not significant. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v13i3.19136 Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.13(3) 2014 p.251-254

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is one of the most common genetic disorders. It is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. It primarily affects the neural tissues. Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) also known as well as Recklinghausen’s disease is the most common type. We present a case of a 62-year-old lady with NF-1. The disease was apparent since childhood with appearance of multiple hyper-pigmented skin macules. With time, more cutaneous lesions appeared and grew bigger all over the body surface. Because of huge neurofibromatosis over posterior neck, patient came for further treatment.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 04 October’18. Page : 236-238
