Giant Juvenile Xanthogranuloma of face in an adult: A rare complexity.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma, a form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis can be defined as the proliferation of cells with macrophage like characteristics. It has been described as a benign, asymptomatic and common self-healing disorder of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), affecting mostly infants, children and rarely adults. We have documented a case of a 40 year old male who presented to us with extensive insidious papulonodulous growth over the face.

The diversity and outcome of post-covid mucormycosis: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the incidence and pattern of Mucormycosis (the black fungus), has increased sharply and is featured as an epidemic within a pandemic. The majority of cases were detected at late stages, which decreases the chances of survival.

Case Presentation: The authors present a case of an immunocompetent male patient diagnosed with left orbital apex syndrome post covid-19 infection, which necessitated orbital exenteration.

Intramuscular hemangioma in the zygomaticus muscle: A rare case report presentation and diagnosis.

Introduction: intramuscular hemangioma (IMH) is a relatively rare benign vascular tumor of the skeletal muscles. It shows less than 1% of all soft tissue hemangiomas. In the head and neck area, it occurs usually in the masseter muscle followed by temporalis and sternocleidomastoid muscles.

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy: A report of two cases.

Introduction: Melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNTI) is a benign tumour of infancy, most commonly affecting the head and neck region. First described in 1918, less than 500 cases have been reported in the literature. MNTI is aggressive in nature & has a high rate of recurrence.

A Fatal Outcome of Rhino-orbito-cerebral Mucormycosis Following Tooth Extraction: A Case Report.

Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is an uncommon aggressive life-threatening opportunistic fungal infection that affects mainly the immunocompromised population with mortality rate up to 50%. Due to its aggressive nature, early detection and prompt management are of great importance for a good prognosis. Our report describes a fatal outcome of a case of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis following tooth extraction in an uncontrolled non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patient after 14 days of admission.

Management of rhino-orbital mucormycosis.

Mucormycosis is an uncommon acute invasive fungal infection that affects immunocompromised patients. It progresses rapidly and has poor prognosis if diagnosed late. Early detection, control of the underlying condition with aggressive surgical debridement, administration of systemic and local antifungal therapies, hyperbaric oxygen as adjunctive treatment improves prognosis and survivability.
