Introduction And Importance: Olfactory neuroblastoma or esthesioneuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumour, that develops in the olfactory neuroepithelium and is one of the rarest tumours of the nasal cavity. Ocular manifestations are uncommon. The diagnosis is based on histology: biopsy, immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural findings.

A case report of synchronous bilateral multifocal nodular oncocytic hyperplasia in parotid gland.

Introduction And Importance: Multifocal nodular oncocytic hyperplasia (MNOH), alternatively known as Benign Nodular Oncocytosis, was first identified by Schwartz and Feldman in Cancer in 1969. It manifests as numerous nodular growths of oncocytic cells scattered within the salivary gland tissue; Bilateral and multifocal lesions in the parotid gland are rare occurrences. Among these, bilateral multifocal oncocytic lesions are even less common.

Congenital Facial Infiltrating Lipomatosis: A Rare Cause of Facial Asymmetry in Infants.

Congenital facial infiltrating lipomatosis (CFIL) is a rare condition that typically affects the trunk and limbs, but can also occur in the face. Managing CFIL is a significant challenge due to its diffuse involvement in important facial structures. This case report aims to describe a rare form of lipomatosis and discuss the clinical and therapeutic aspects of this entity.

Neonatal Suppurative Parotitis: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Neonatal suppurative parotitis is a rare condition that is diagnosed primarily through clinical evaluation. The prognosis is generally good. In this report, we present the case of a 21-day-old female infant who was treated in our ENT department for neonatal suppurative parotitis.

Occupational Risk Factors for Laryngeal Cancer in Tunisia: A Case Control Study.

Background: Tobacco use and alcohol consumption are the primary risk factors for laryngeal cancer (LC). In most populations, occupational exposures are likely to play a minor role in laryngeal carcinogenesis. We aimed to investigate the association between occupational exposure and laryngeal cancer.

Clinical features of otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis: Our experience and review of literature.

Otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is an intracranial complication secondary to otogenic disease; it is rare but could be a life-threatening condition. Its management is always challenging. This study aimed to focus on clinical features, on diagnosis of this pathology and to review the most controversial aspect of management of otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis.

A rare case of primary sinonasal meningioma: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Extra cranial primary meningioma of sinonasal tract is a rare entity. It is often misdiagnosed as nasal polyp.

Case Presentation: Here we report a case of a primary ethmoid sinus meningioma with extension into the nasal cavity in a 41-year-old man.

Management of Isolated sphenoidal aspergillosis: Case report and review of literature.

Introduction And Importance: Sphenoidal aspergillosis is an uncommon serious condition that could lead to a fatal outcome. There is dilemma in its management. Published data concerning this pathology are limited so we find interesting in adding our experience to the literature mass.

Solitary Fibrous tumor of Nasal cavity: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction And Importance: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) involving the nasal cavity are extremely rare with few cases reported in the literature.

Case Presentation: We present a case of SFT in a 90 year-old male complaining of a slow-growing mass prolapsing through left nostril. Nasal endoscopy and imaging exams revealed a mass occupying the entire left nasal cavity, pushing the nasal septum to the opposite side and extending up to the nasopharynx.

Tissue quantification of radioiodine thyroid uptake in humans by an isotopic imaging technique on slides.

Background: Thyroid metabolism involves iodine, which allows us to use radioactive iodine for diagnostic and therapy purposes. The efficiency of radioiodine therapy depends on several parameters; the ability of thyroid tissue to uptake radioactive iodine is one of them.

Objective: The objective of this work is to quantify the radioactive iodine uptake on thyroid tissue.

Second branchial cleft cyst: about 34 cases.

Background: the amygdaloid cyst is a rare laterocervical cystic tumor arising from the second branchial cleft. It accounts for 2% of laterocervical tumors.

Aim: analyze the anatomo-clinical characteristics and discuss the management and therapeutic indications of second branchial cleft cysts.

Cartilage and Fascia Graft In Type 1 Tympanoplasty: Comparison of Anatomical and Audological Results.

Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure aiming to reconstruct the tympanic membrane and hearing. The aim of this study was to compare anatomic and audiological results of cartilage graft with temporal fascia graft in type 1 tympanoplasty patients. We conducted a descriptive, retrospective study of medical records of patients who underwent tympanoplasty between January 2010 and December 2015 at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of Farhat Hached University Hospital.

Laryngeal synovial sarcoma: Report of 2 cases.

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor. It most commonly occurs in the lower extremities of young adults. The head and neck are rare sites, accounting for less than 10%.

[Metastatic nasopharynx cancer at diagnosis: clinical and prognostic (study of 51 cases)].

This retrospective study aimed to highlight the different epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic features of nasopharinx cancer with inaugural metastases in patients hospitalized in a Tunisian Hospital. We here report 51 cases of histologically diagnosed nasopharynx cancer (NPC) with inaugural metastases. Data were collected in the ENT departments and in the radiation therapy departments at the University Hospital Farhat Hached, Sousse, Tunisia as well as at the Centre Medical Ibn Khaldoun, Hammam Sousse, between January 1995 and December 2010.

ENT mucormycosis. Report of 4 cases.

Objectives: Mucormycosis is an opportunist infection usually affecting immunocompromised patients. It is rare and often fatal. The pathogen is filamentous fungus of the mucorales order.

Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the larynx.

Introduction: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is a rare tumour, named after its histological resemblance to undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The pathogenesis of lymphoepithelial carcinoma remains unknown. This tumour has been described in several organs, but the larynx remains an exceptional site.

Myoepithelioma of the vallecula: a case report.

Myoepitheliomas are rare and generally benign neoplasms that account for fewer than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. A myoepithelioma neoplasm is almost entirely composed of myoepithelial cells and is most frequently located in the parotid gland and in the minor salivary glands of the hard palate. We report an extremely rare case of myoepithelioma of the vallecular region in a 65-year-old woman and describe this tumor's clinical peculiarity, diagnostic and therapeutic considerations, and prognosis.
