<p class="abstract">Choanal polyp arising from the sphenoid sinus and presenting at the choana are rare. These are known as sphenochoanal polyp. We present a case of sphenochoanal polyp and its clinical features and surgical management is discussed. Our aim in this case was to properly delineate the origin of the polyp and differentiate it from other lesions such as the antrochoanal polyp and meningocele, followed by meticulous endoscopic excision of the polyp. Radiological investigations include a CT scan paranasal sinuses or a MRI diagnostic nasal endoscopy will confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made surgical removal must be done<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Sphenochoanal polyp is a rare clinical occurrence as compared to the much common antro-choanal polyp. It originates from the sphenoid sinus and extends into the choana via the sphenoid ostium. We present a case of spheno-choanal polyp and its clinical features and surgical management is discussed. Our aim in this case was to properly delineate the origin of the polyp and differentiate it from other lesions such as the antro-choanal polyp and meningocele, followed by meticulous endoscopic excision of the polyp.

Salivary duct carcinoma of the parotid gland is an uncommon tumor, highly aggressive. About 200 cases have been reported in the English literature until now. Pathomorphologically, these tumors showed great similarities to ductal carcinoma of the female breast, which is why they described this tumor as "salivary duct carcinoma." The authors describe a new case of salivary duct carcinoma of the parotid gland. We present the case of a 43-year-old patient with swelling over Left Parotid Region with no history of Facial Nerve Palsy. The MRI examination of the head showed a large irregular marginated solid soft tissue of left parotid gland, with infiltration of adjacent soft tissue with bony erosion. A Pre-Operative FNAC showed findings suggestive of a Salivary Gland Neoplasm. A malignant tumor was strongly suspected, so that a total left parotidectomy with excision of the adjacent facial nerve and left lymph node dissection was performed. Microscopic examination concluded to a salivary duct carcinoma of the left parotid gland negative with Her2/neu antibody with lymph node metastasis. Salivary duct carcinoma of the parotid gland is a rare tumor with an aggressive behavior. This is due to its propensity to infiltrate distant organs. The diagnosis is based on microscopic examination. Treatment modalities are non-consensual, but some authors advocate the necessity of aggressive approach, especially in tumors negative with Her2/neu antibody. This is due to the fact that the overexpression of this antigen was reported to be associated with a poor prognosis.
