Hemangiolipoma originated in muscle is rarely reported especially in otorhinolaryngology field. The presentations include swelling with discoloration of the surrounding skin. Complete surgical excision is the suggested treatment in both type infiltrating and noninfiltrating angiolipoma. We describe a case of angiolipoma in a child whereby the diagnosis was suspected after magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium. Keywords: Angiolipoma, Masseter Muscle, Magnetic Resonance Imaging.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 01 No. 02 July’17. Page : 86-88

Alterations in the three chemosensory modalities – smell, taste, and chemesthesis – have been implicated in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), yet emerging data suggest a wide geographic and ethnic variation in the prevalence of these symptoms. Studies on chemosensory disorders in COVID-19 have predominantly focused on Caucasian populations whereas Asians remain understudied. We conducted a nationwide, multicentre cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire on a cohort of RT-PCR-confirmed adult COVID-19 patients in Malaysia between 6 June to 30 November 2020. The aim of our study was to investigate their presenting symptoms and assess their chemosensory function using self-ratings of perceived smell, taste, chemesthesis, and nasal blockage. In this cohort of 498 patients, 41.4% reported smell and/or taste loss when diagnosed with COVID-19, which was the commonest symptom. Blocked nose, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal disturbances were independent predictors of smell and/or taste loss on multivariate analysis. Self-ratings of chemosensory function revealed a reduction in smell, taste, and chemesthesis across the entire cohort of patients that was more profound among those reporting smell and/or taste loss as their presenting symptom. Perceived nasal obstruction accounted for only a small proportion of changes in smell and taste, but not for chemesthesis, supporting viral disruption of sensorineural mechanisms as the dominant aetiology of chemosensory dysfunction. Our study suggests that chemosensory dysfunction in COVID-19 is more widespread than previously reported among Asians and may be related to the infectivity of viral strains.

Paediatric thyroid nodule is a rare occurrence. It occurs about 1.5% in childhood while 4-7% in adulthood. The presentations include anterior neck swelling which moves with deglutition. The treatments of choice are either conservative treatment or complete surgical excision if there is presence of obstructive symptoms or malignancy. We describe an 8-year-old girl presented with left solitary thyroid nodule. Malignancy must be ruled out before conservative management was instituted.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 01 January’20 Page : 70-72

A 10-month-old boy was brought to the Emergency Department when his mother noticed sudden episodes of choking while playing with his 4-year-old sister at home. It was associated with bluish discoloration of the face for a few minutes and 2 episodes of vomiting. There were blood streaks in the vomitus. Since then, the child refused breastfeeding. The mother immediately brought the child to the hospital.
