Early Diagnosis of Papillary Carcinoma in a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst: A Multidisciplinary Approach and the Crucial Role of Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology.

Papillary carcinoma within a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare and challenging presentation of thyroid malignancy, requiring a nuanced approach to diagnosis and treatment. This report details the case of a 40-year-old male who presented with a two-year history of submental swelling and intermittent respiratory difficulty. Initial imaging suggested a simple thyroglossal duct cyst.

The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment in Septic Arthritis of the Temporomandibular Joint: A Case Report.

Septic arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (SATMJ), primarily caused by bacterial infections, is a rare condition with a diverse etiology that is inadequately documented in the literature, resulting in the absence of standardized treatment protocols. Its nonspecific clinical presentation often leads to misdiagnosis as other temporomandibular disorders, delaying diagnosis and treatment and potentially causing severe complications in the absence of established therapeutic guidelines. The main objective of this article is to report a case of a 61-year-old female with diabetes who was undergoing prolonged corticosteroid therapy and presented with pain, swelling in the right pre-auricular area, and progressive limitation in mouth opening, with no history of facial trauma, where the early diagnosis and isolation of after a single-port arthrocentesis prompted the timely adjustment of the treatment regimen, significantly influencing the outcome by mitigating the risk of complications.

Recurrent Syncope Related to Carotid Compression in Eagle Syndrome: A Case Report.

Eagle syndrome is a rare disease characterised by symptoms associated with an elongated styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid and stylomandibular ligament. Symptoms associated with Eagle Syndrome include orofacial and cervical pain, dysphagia, and pharyngeal foreign body sensation. Additionally, it can present with cerebrovascular symptoms due to the compression of adjacent neurovascular structures within the vicinity of the styloid process during rotation and extension of the neck.

Inflammatory Presentation of a Primary Extranodal Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Maxillary Sinus.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma originating from the maxillary sinus is rarely reported in the literature. Diagnosis is challenging since the long absence of signs and symptoms allows it to grow undetected or be confused with benign inflammatory conditions. The purpose of this paper is to present an unusual manifestation of this rare pathology.
