Introduction: Soft tissue hemangiomas are among the most prevalent soft tissue tumors and can pose diagnostic challenges due to their propensity to extend into various regions. In our case, imaging studies facilitated effective characterization of the mass, and timely intervention with sclerotherapy enabled adequate initial control of the lesion. Subsequently, medical management with propranolol and a second scheduled surgical intervention with sclerotherapy contributed to a reduction in the lesion size, alleviation of symptoms, and improvement in prognosis.

Background: Anesthetic management of a patient with multiple giant bullae is generally difficult due to an increased risk of respiratory complications, and there is no consensus regarding safe extubation methods. We report a case of an effective use of a supraglottic airway (i-gel™) during emergence from anesthesia in a patient with multiple giant bullae, in whom a double-lumen bronchial tube was being used during anesthesia.

Case Presentation: A 52-year-old man with multiple giant bullae underwent video-assisted pulmonary resections, while the ventilation was controlled via a double-lumen bronchial tube.

Article Synopsis
  • This report presents the first documented case of a giant cell tumor in the larynx, diagnosed through molecular genetic analysis.
  • A 50-year-old non-smoking male experienced persistent hoarseness for 3 months, and imaging revealed a sizable tumor on his thyroid cartilage, leading to a total laryngectomy.
  • Detailed microscopic analysis showed a mix of mononuclear cells and osteoclast-like giant cells, with molecular testing identifying a significant mutation in the H3-3A gene.

Article Synopsis
  • A 28-year-old male experienced a rare giant cell tumor in the larynx after undergoing a total thyroidectomy in June 2022 for a thyroid mass, which was later diagnosed as a giant cell tumor of soft tissues.
  • He was readmitted in June 2023 due to the recurrence of a neck mass and underwent surgery (partial laryngectomy and partial hypopharyngectomy) to remove the tumor completely.
  • Following the surgery, the mass was confirmed as a giant cell tumor of the larynx through various testing methods, and after 12 months of follow-up, the patient showed no signs of tumor recurrence without undergoing any radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
