Parathyroid Carcinomas: A Series of 6 Cases and Literature Review.

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine malignancy. We report 6 cases of PCs operated on in our department, during a period of 12 years (2010-2021). All of our patients presented severe hyperparathyroidism, high calcium levels, and very elevated parathormone (PTH) rates.

Primary Ewing Sarcoma in the Sphenoidal Sinus: A Case Report.

Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) is a rare malignant bone tumor that primarily affects children and young adults. While it typically affects long bones, it can occur in the head and neck region, including the paranasal sinuses in rare cases. We present a challenging case of a 45-year-old female diagnosed with an EWS of the sphenoidal and the right nasal fossa.

Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland.

Primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary glands is an exceptional oncological condition that predominantly emerges within the parotid gland. A significant prevalence of lymphoepithelial carcinoma has been reported in the Inuit population, along with an associated positive serology for Epstein-Barr virus in these endemic regions. In this paper, we present a case of primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland in a 68-year-old female patient with a history of diabetes and hypertension residing in a non-endemic area.

Congenital crico-thyroid dysplasia: a comprehensive description.

Introduction: We describe a first case of human congenital crico-thyroid dysplasia associated to a right sided aortic arch and an aberrant subclavian artery.

Case Presentation: Our patient presented with a two-weeks history of acute dyspnea, and reported hoarseness since his childhood. An urgent tracheotomy was performed, followed by direct laryngoscopy.

Therapeutic Management of Primary Atrophic Rhinitis (Ozene): About 4 Cases.

To study the clinical characteristics and therapeutic means of primary atrophic rhinitis. We present 4 cases of atrophic rhinitis caused by observed in our hospital over a period of 5 years. All patients presented the clinical triad: mucosal atrophy, presence of crusts, and cacosmia.

Glottal Features in Vocal Assessment Following Thyroidectomy.

Objectives: Vocal dysfunction is a frequent complication following thyroidectomy that can be associated with a negative impact on patients' quality of life. Although the effect of thyroidectomy on acoustic features has been widely studied, the examination of glottal flow characteristics to assess vocal outcomes following thyroid gland surgery has not been included in empirical research, to date. The goal of our study was to evaluate early and short-term vocal outcomes following thyroidectomy based on the analysis of glottal acoustic features during speech production.

Pregnancy-Related Recurrent Benign Goiter With Intratracheal Extension.

This report describes the unique case of a 37-year-old pregnant patient with a history of total thyroidectomy who presented worsening dyspnea due to a recurrent benign goiter. The goiter grew through the tracheal wall and narrowed the tracheal lumen. After unsuccessful treatment with bronchodilators and corticosteroids, the patient underwent an emergency tracheostomy and cesarean section.

Maxillary Sinus Epidermoid Cyst: A Case Report.

The preoperative diagnosis of a paranasal epidermoid cysts (EC) is challenging and is frequently mistaken. We present the case of a patient who developed a swelling on the left side of the face. The clinical examination showed a fixed and poorly defined swelling in the left maxillary region, with a slightly painful bulge in the upper vestibular peri-gingival area.

An intramuscular hemangioma of the semispinalis muscle: A case report.

Intramuscular hemangiomas are uncommon benign endotheliomas that typically occur in the trunk and limbs. Head and neck involvement is relatively infrequent, with the masseter muscle being the most commonly affected site. We present a rare case of intramuscular hemangiomas arising from the semispinalis muscle.

Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma Mimicking Cervical Tuberculosis: A Case Report.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of thyroid cancer that has a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. It is characterized by rapid growth and invasion of nearby tissues. It typically presents as a rapidly growing goiter or nodule that is firm to the touch and firmly attached to the underlying structures.

Predictive factors for hypothyroidy after hemithyroidectomy.

Hemithyroidectomy is one of the most common procedures performed. It is used to treat patients with benign unilateral nodules. Hemithyroidectomy results in fewer risks of hypothyroidism and the need for thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

[Association of thyrolipoma and thyrolipomatosis: A case report].

We report a rare case of thyrolipoma-thyrolipomatosis' association. A 48-year-old patient, with a past history of high blood pressure and chronic renal failure secondary to AA amyloidosis, presented with a midline neck swelling increasing in size since one year. Ultrasound showed a multinodular goiter, the worst nodule was left-lobar and categorized as EU-TIRADS 4.
