Bone sarcoidosis is an uncommon manifestation of the multisystemic disease with skull involvement being rare. We present the case of a 32-year-old female who was referred by her General Practitioner with a left calvarial lesion on a background of previous unilateral 7th nerve palsy and diabetes mellitus. Images demonstrated a left frontoparietal calvarial osteolytic lesion. She underwent resection by the neurosurgical team with histopathological study revealing noncaseating granulomas, consistent with sarcoidosis. Given absence of other systemic features of sarcoidosis, she did not undergo systemic treatment.
of the palatine tonsil and is often mistaken clinically for a neoplasm. 1 We present a case of tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyp in a nineteen-year-old male who underwent bilateral tonsillectomy for asymmetry. Macroscopically a polypoid lesion was noted extending from the mucosal aspect of the specimen. Microscopically the polyp was comprised of a core of dilated lymphatic channels separated by fibrous and adipose tissue. The outer surface was covered with stratified squamous epithelium. Tonsillar lymphangiomatous polyp is a diagnosis that should be considered in the differential of lesions presenting in the palatine tonsil. References 1. Kardon DE, Wenig BM, Heffner DK, et al.
