Hepatocellular carcinoma presenting as an isolated sphenoid sinus lesion: a case report.

We report a rare case of a metastatic sphenoid sinus lesion originating from an undiagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a 53-year-old man who presented with gradually progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Imaging showed a right sphenoid sinus lesion infiltrating the parasellar region. Although a primary sphenoid biopsy was inconclusive, positive hepatitis B surface antigen and CT-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology suggested an HCC.

Tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis for post-intubation cervical tracheal stenosis: study of 14 cases.

Background And Objectives: The incidence of acquired laryngeal stenosis is increasing. This retrospective study aimed to assess the long term results of circumferential resection with end-to-end tracheal anastomosis for isolated post-intubation stenosis of the cervical trachea, and to review the relevant literature.

Methods: Twelve male and two female patients (aged 16-30 years, mean age 24 years) treated between February 2003 and December 2008 were included.

Rhinosporidiosis of the parotid duct cyst: cytomorphological diagnosis of an unusual extranasal presentation.

This cytology report highlights a case of rhinosporidiosis of the parotid duct cyst not associated with nasal manifestations. In an endemic area, one should be familiar with its morphologic features in fine-needle aspiration cytology even on scanty material, for it could be one of the investigations in the initial workup of a case.
