Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign nerve sheath tumor that is slow growing. The diagnosis is made from a combination of clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings, and the main method of treatment is resection. We report a case of a 69-year-old presenting with a neck mass causing stridor, dysphagia, and orthopnea.

- - Thyroid cancer, particularly follicular adenoma/carcinoma, is the most common endocrine tumor, with one subtype showing bizarre nuclei linked to p53 mutations, though its clinical prognosis remains uncertain.
- - A 74-year-old woman was found to have elevated TSH levels and multiple thyroid nodules; further procedures revealed a Bethesda category 5 nodule, leading to a total thyroidectomy.
- - The pathology identified follicular adenoma with bizarre nuclei, showing wild-type p53 and low Ki-67 levels, suggesting a need for more research to clarify the tumor's prognosis and origins.
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare, aggressive form of thyroid carcinoma with a mean survival of less than 6 months. Ectopic thyroid tissue can be present in the mediastinum due to faulty embryogenesis with improper descent. Primary thyroid malignancies may arise from this ectopic tissue.

Through this review, we aim to summarize important principles in diagnosis and treatment of sinonasal lymphomas, with the goal of disseminating the current knowledge of this under-recognized malignancy to otolaryngologists.
Methods: Systemic review using PRISMA guidelines of foundational scholarly articles, guidelines, and trials were reviewed focusing on clinical characteristics of key sinonasal lymphoma subtypes, along with available treatments in the otolaryngology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology literature.
The occurrence of diabetes is increasing globally and carries a variety of complications, such as thromboembolism, acute cerebrovascular accidents, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Although DKA is not commonly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), it can manifest in patients who have underlying comorbidities predisposed to DKA. Since the emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, we have seen many cases and studies on the underlying pathophysiology of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia with or without respiratory failure.
