Subacute necrotizing sialadenitis is an inflammatory necrotizing lesion occurring in minor salivary glands. Most cases occur in the palatal region. In this article, we reported a 36-year-old man referred to our clinic as an emergency with the complaints of excessive bleeding, airway obstruction and hipovolemia. Intraorally, there was a hemorrhagic, protruding giant mass in the palatal region. Following the first biopsy, which was not diagnostic, a second biopsy was performed. Histopathologic examination showed acinar cell necrosis and dense inflammation of the affected minor salivary glands in the second biopsy. The diagnosis of subacute necrotizing sialadenitis was made on the basis of clinical and histologic features of the lesion. Subacute necrotizing sialadenitis is a rare lesion, and admittance to the otolaryngology clinic as an emergency case is much rarer. To avoid unnecessary surgical intervention, it is necessary to diagnose subacute necrotizing sialadenitis correctly, which can be confused with malignant diseases of the salivary glands.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe skin reaction caused by extensive epidermal and mucosal necrosis. This clinical phenomenon is known as an acute syndrome of apoptotic pan-epidermolysis (ASAP). The ASAP phenomenon is observed in conditions that mimic TEN, highlighting the challenge in distinguishing these conditions.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) and adult-onset Still disease (AOSD) are two rare conditions whose association poses a significant diagnostic challenge. KFD is characterized by subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis of unknown etiology, primarily affecting young adults, and often presents with fever and posterior cervical lymphadenopathy. AOSD is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unclear origin, defined by high-spiking fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, hyperferritinemia, and leukocytosis.

Background: Neuronal death is the primary cause of poor outcomes in cerebral ischemia. The inflammatory infiltration in the early phase of ischemic stroke plays a vital role in triggering neuronal death. Either transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from humans or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have respectively proved to be neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory in cerebral ischemia.

Rheumatoid meningitis (RM) presents with sufficiently wide-ranging, but non-specific, symptoms and neuroimaging features of pachy- and/or leptomeningeal thickening that it may be indistinguishable from subacute infectious meningitis. RA diagnosis variably antedates RM and serological confirmation by rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies may not be present preoperatively. Thus, meningeal biopsy may be undertaken.

Article Synopsis
- - A case of rhino-orbital mucormycosis (ROM) caused by the rare and lethal fungus Cunninghamella was reported in a 50-year-old woman with acute leukemia in China, marking the first instance of this specific infection in the country.
- - After undergoing two chemotherapy cycles, the patient developed severe naso-ocular symptoms along with black necrosis on her eyelids, leading to the diagnosis of ROM through tissue biopsy and multidisciplinary consultation.
- - Even though Cunninghamella infections carry a high mortality rate, the patient's life was saved by adjusting antifungal treatment and timely surgery, highlighting the importance of early detection for better outcomes.
