An Atypical Squamous Papilloma of the Uvula.

Squamous papilloma of the oral cavity is frequently seen in adult patients and is typically presented as painless exophytic granular or cauliflower-like lesions over the tongue, floor of the mouth, palate, uvula, lips, and faucial pillars. Most of the lesions are solitary and grow rapidly to about 0.5 cm.

The Nasal Endoscopic Features of Postnasal Drip: A Cross Sectional Study.

 Patients with chronic rhinitis suffer from postnasal drip (PND) but this symptom is not well addressed. Nasal endoscopy may aid in identifying PND. Well described endoscopic features of PND are presence of secretions in the posterior nasal cavity, diffuse erythema, and hemorrhagic spots in the nasopharynx, but these have not been formally studied.

Primary Laryngeal Tuberculosis Manifesting as Irregular Vocal Fold Lesion.

Laryngeal tuberculosis is rare despite its close anatomical and physiological proximity to the lungs. It constitutes less than 1% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The symptoms of laryngeal tuberculosis are non-specific and mimic other laryngeal pathologies.

Facial Nerve Palsy Secondary to Parotid Abscess: Report of a Rare Case and Review of the Literature.

A parotid lesion with facial nerve involvement almost always indicates malignancy. Facial nerve palsy as a complication of parotid abscess is extremely rare. The postulated mechanisms include ischaemic neuropathy secondary to the compression of the facial nerve by the parotid swelling, local toxic effect and perineuritis from the inflammatory process.

Extraluminal migration of ingested fish bone in the upper aerodigestive tract: A series of three cases with broad clinical spectrum of manifestations and outcomes.

Introduction: Incidental fish bone ingestion may penetrate the upper aerodigestive tract and cause extraluminal migration due to late presentation or missed diagnosis. The migrated fish bone exhibits a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from mild symptoms to potentially fatal complications.

Presentation Of Case: We report three cases of extraluminal fish bone migration with diverse clinical presentations and complications.

An unusual first presentation of hypopharyngeal carcinoma as thyroid abscess: Case report of a diagnostic challenge.

Background: Hypopharyngeal carcinoma can involve thyroid gland due to their close proximity. However, an initial presentation as a thyroid abscess is rare in this malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case in the English literature.

Cultural Adaptation of Sniffin' Sticks Smell Identification Test: The Malaysian Version.

Introduction: Sniffin' Sticks smell identification test is a tool used for evaluation of olfactory function but the results are culture-dependent. It relies on the subject's familiarity to the odorant and descriptors. This study aims to develop the Malaysian version of Sniffin' Sticks smell identification test suitable for local population usage.

Concurrent Double Primary Tumours: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Cervical Epithelioid Angiosarcoma.

Angiosarcoma is one of the rarest types of malignant vascular tumours that involved the head and neck region. It predominantly affects the scalp and superficial soft tissues. Angiosarcoma arising from the deep cervical soft tissue is extremely rare.

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma with Cystic Cervical Metastasis Masquerading as Branchial Cleft Cyst: A Potential Pitfall in Diagnosis and Management.

Introduction: Most metastatic lymph nodes from head and neck malignancy are solid. Cystic nodes are found in 33% - 61% of carcinomas arise from Waldeyer's ring, of which only 1.8% - 8% originate are from the nasopharynx.
