Introduction: Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common thyroid cancer subtype after papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), and it accounts for approximately 10% of all thyroid cancers, the incidence of distant metastasis in FTC has been reported to be 6-20%, bones and lungs are the most frequent sites of distant metastases. Most occult thyroid carcinomas are papillary carcinoma.
Case Presentation: We describe an extremely rare case of a 74-year-old woman who had a history of right thyroid lobectomy 20 years ago, was referred to our hospital for metastatic thyroid follicular carcinoma to the sacral region confirmed by the biopsy of the sacral mass.
Introduction: and importance: Head and neck paragangliomas are slowly growing benign tumors and they originate from specialized neural crest cells. We report an unusual combined glomus vagal and jugular tumor that was rarely described in the literature to the best of our knowledge.
Case Presentation: A 51 years old female with no pathological history was presented to our ENT department with 6 months' history of a right latero cervical swelling gradually increasing in size associated with a swallowing difficulties and hoarseness.
Introduction: Juvenile ossifying fibroma (OF) is a benign fibro-osseous tumor, affecting the bones of the face. It's locally very aggressive, with a strong tendency to recur. We report a case of a juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) complicated with exophthalmos undergoing an entirely endoscopic resection.

But, they can also be secondary to distant primary tumors. We report the case of two patients treated in our Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck department for chronic supraclavicular lymphadenopathies, for whom further investigations showed lymph node metastasis originating from distant tumors.

Presentation Of Case: We report the case of an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a rare location and in an adult. It concerns a 46-year-old woman with a mandibular location invading the parotid gland.
Introduction: The Endoscopic approach for complete removal of antrochoanal polyp is considered a safe and effective procedure with the best control of the attachments of antrochoanal polyps. The mains of our study are to review the clinical features and evaluate the recurrence in the patients affected by antrochoanal polyps (ACPs) and surgically treated by endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy.
Methods: The present research is a retrospective study.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue is one of the most common cancers in the oral region, most frequently associated with lymph nodes metastases which influence the most the prognosis. The identification of predictive factors of occult cervical nodal metastases for N0 tumors will allow to adapt the treatment to the patient, avoiding over or under management. From 2014 to 2019, a cohort of 26 patients with SCC of the mobile tongue was reviewed by analysing the medical history, the epidemiological and clinical parameters, the tumor sites, aspects, diameters, depths of invasion, pathological degree, degree of differentiation, T classification and results of neck dissections.
