Neurogenous tumours of the larynx are extremely uncommon. Schwannoma of larynx is a variant of neurogenous tumour. The patient underwent microlaryngoscopic excision of that tumour. We present here the clinical findings of the case, along with direct laryngoscopic view, the photograph of the mass after removal and histological slide compatible with the diagnosis of schwannoma.
The lateral rhinotomy approach is one of the most commonly used techniques for exploration of the diffi cult sinonasal masses. Though endoscopic advances have progressed rapidly since last few years, but the excellent exposure provided by the lateral rhinotomy approach makes it suitable for resection of sinonasal masses with extensive spread. Our study is an attempt to establish the different spectra of pathologies encountered in the sinonasal region, which were removed by the lateral rhinotomy approach and to establish its importance in the context of modern rhinological surgeries.
Malignancy of thyroglossal cyst is a rare entity. Medical literature has reported only a very few cases till date. Histopathologically papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal cyst is the most common variety encountered in clinical practice. Surgical excision by Sistrunk operation is the standard treatment of choice followed by subtotal or total thyroidectomy whenever indicated. We report here two cases of thyroglossal cyst carcinomas and their respective management.
Though haemangioma of cheek is not a very uncommon entity, here we are presenting a case series of four such cases of haemangioma cheek of completely different presentation. One of which is classical maxillary haemangioma and the rest of the others have different and unusual presentations. They all have different radiological features and were managed successfully by different surgical approaches without any recurrence.
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.
