Left supraclavicular parathyroid carcinoma: diagnostic difficulties through a case report.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare malignant tumour of the parathyroid gland, accounting for less than 0.005% of all cancers, and less than 1% of the aetiologies of primary hyperparathyroidism. This case report aims to describe the incidental discovery of a non-secreting parathyroid carcinoma in a left supraclavicular location and to report on the diagnostic difficulties encountered, together with a review of the literature and current management issues.

Exploring a rare case of juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma in the ethmoid: a case study and review.

Juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) and its variants, including juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF), represent rare yet clinically significant benign fibro-osseous lesions that primarily occur in children and young adolescents. They can be found in diverse anatomical sites such as the jaw, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and orbit. JOF exhibits an aggressive nature, necessitating early radiological detection and surgical intervention.

Intramasseteric Solitary Myofibroma: A Case Report.

Solitary myofibroma or infantile myofibroma is a rare spindle cell neoplasm that generally affects infants before the age of 2 years but cases in young children and adults have been described. Although the location of infantile myofibroma in the oral and maxillofacial region has been described, the intramasseteric location of the lesion is very uncommon. A thorough assessment of histopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics is necessary to have a correct diagnosis.

Necrotizing Otitis Concealing Carcinomas of the External Auditory Canal.

External auditory canal Carcinomas are rare and aggressive tumors and their prognosis depends on early diagnosis. Their clinical similarity to necrotizing otitis is a source of error and therefore of diagnostic delay. Hence the interest of our study which consists in providing ENT specialists and all practitioners with the necessary clinical, evolutionary, radiological, biological and histological elements to avoid diagnostic errors.

Association of trichilemmal and basal cell carcinomas: a case report.

Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (PTT) is a benign tumor arising from the isthmic portion of the hair follicle. Malignant transformation in PPT is very rare and unusual. Indeed, only about sixty well-documented cases have been found in the English literature.

Intra-abdominal hypertension in cardiac surgery patients: a multicenter observational sub-study of the Accuryn registry.

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is frequently present in the critically ill and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Conventionally, intermittent 'spot-check' manual measurements of bladder pressure in those perceived as high risk are used as surrogates for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). True patterns of IAH remain unknown.

Nasopharyngeal Stenosis: A Rare Radiotherapy Complication.

Introduction: Acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis after radiotherapy for NPC is rare. We report a case of bilateral choanal stenosis and nasopharygeal stenosis in patient treated with chemo radiotherapy for undifferentieted nasopharnygeal carcinoma.

Case Report: A 68 years old man treated for undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma with chemo-radiotherapy 10 years before.

Rhinolithiasis: about an observation of a rare condition.

Rhinolithiasis is a rare condition often neglected or unknown that tends to disappear in developed countries and corresponds to a solid calcification by gradual deposition of calcareous salts around a central resorbable or non-resorbable foundation of varying shape and size. The most common symptom is a long-term unilateral purulent rhinorrhea and unilateral nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy and imaging are interesting for the positive diagnosis but especially to highlight the anatomical anomalies or related pathologies.

About a rare disease misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma or tuberculosis: Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease KFD is a rare and benign cause of cervical lymphadenopathy. It is an anatomoclinical entity of unknown etiology. The confirmation of the diagnosis is always provided by histological lymph node study.

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the nasal cavity: an extremely rare and new distinct entity.

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare but distinct entity of nasal cavity carcinomas. Only a very few cases have been reported in the nasal cavity. Its treatment is not well established.

[Rhinoscleroma of the cavum with expression in cervical lymph nodes: about a case].

Rhinoscleroma is a specific granulomatous and chronic disorder with insidious evolution. It is causes by pathogen Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It mainly occurs in the nasal cavities and positive diagnosis is sometimes problematic.

[An unusual cause of high dysphagia: schwannoma of the preepiglottic space].

Schwannomas are well encapsulated mesenchymal tumors of peripheral nerves, with slow growth. The laryngeal schwanomma is exceptional, we present a case not described in the literature of shwannoma in the pre epiglottic space. A 50-year-old woman, who had a history of foreign body sensation for 4 years ago, progressing to high dysphagia and hoarseness.

A case of Kartagener syndrome with rhinolalia clausa.

Kartagener syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic ciliary disorder comprising of a classic triad of sinusitis, situs inversus and bronchiectasis. It's the one of primary ciliary dyskinesia disorders with manifestations present from childhood. Most patients of PCD have situs inversus.

Evaluation of Post Laryngectomy Pharyngocutaneous Fistula risk Factors.

Introduction: Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication after total laryngectomy. Its incidence is extremely variable, with values ranging from 3% and 65%. The management of this problem considerably increases the length and the cost of hospitalization.

Sinonasal angiosarcoma.

Introduction: Angiosarcoma is a malignant tumour arising from endothelial cells that accounts for 1% of all sarcomas. The sinonasal site of angiosarcoma is exceptional.

Case Report: The authors report a case of sinonasal angiosarcoma in a 53-year-old man.

Primary tuberculosis of the larynx.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, usually affecting the lung, but very rare cases of isolated laryngeal tuberculosis have been reported.

Purpose: To demonstrate the importance of considering the diagnosis of this disease, which presents with very variable and sometimes misleading clinical and endoscopic features, but for which medical treatment is very effective.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study was based on ten cases of laryngeal tuberculosis managed between January 2004 and December 2009.

[Removal of lateral orbital wall for management of orbital cavernous hemangioma].

Introduction: A relatively rare condition, cavernous hemangioma of the orbit poses a problem due to difficulty of the surgical approach. Modifications in surgical approaches and better understanding of these tumors preoperatively allow for less disfiguring elective surgery than before.

Materials And Methods: Five cases of orbital cavernous hemangiomas reviewed in our department between 2005 and 2009 underwent surgery by external lateral approach with removal of the lateral orbital wall.

Cervical lymph node metastasis in chromophobe renal cell carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.

The metastasis of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma to head and neck region, described herein, has never been reported before to our knowledge. A 56-year-old woman with a history of nephrectomy, that revealed chromophobe renal cell carcinoma six years before, presented left cervical mass. Imaging showed with left cervical lymphadenopathies and thyroid nodule.

Giant pediatric cervicofacial lymphatic malformations.

Purpose: Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are benign lesions. Most of them are found in head and neck regions as asymptomatic mass, but giant lymphangiomas may affect breathing or swallowing and constitute a major therapeutic challenge.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of giant head and neck LMs with impairment of respiration or swallow for the past 11 years was performed in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and ENT of the Avicenne Medical University Center.
