Lymphatic malformations--previously called "lymphangiomas"--emerge due to an abnormal development of the lymphatic channels, with obstruction of the lymph flow and formation of lymphatic cysts. These cystic masses are frequently located in the neck and axillary region (95%). A pancreatic localization is extremely rare in children. Pancreatic lymphatic malformations should be distinguished from ...

Introduction: The neck and parapharyngeal space are one of the most vital regions in body, encompassing multiple major blood vessels, nerves, spine airway itself. Lateral masses that present to an ENT practitioner may not only include a wide variety differentials, but as emergencies case compromise. In such situations, decision making arriving at diagnosis becomes important from curative perspe...

Adenoid cystic carcinomas of the head and neck are rare. These tumors characterized by their slow but aggressive evolution. Nasopharyngeal localization adenoid carcinoma accounts for less than 1% all nasopharyngeal tumors.

We presented two adult cases of cystic hygroma colli (CHC), one with atypical location. The first patient was a 23-year-old male with CHC located in the posterior cervical triangle, its common location in the neck. The latter was a 22-year-old male whose lesion occupied the submandibular region and extended to the skull base. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography, magnetic resonance ima...

ABSTRACT Epidermoid cyst is a common benign cutaneous swelling frequently encountered in surgical practice. It usually presents as a painless lump frequently occurring in hairbearing areas of the body particularly the scalp, scrotum, neck, shoulder and back. Giant epidermoid cysts commonly occur in hairy areas such as the scalp. We present here the case of a rare occurrence of a giant epidermoi...

Cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst (CMSC), presents as a solitary, tender subcutaneous nodule that usually occurs at the site of previous surgery or trauma. Histologically, the lesion is characterized by a cystic structure with villous-like projections that lined by metaplastic synovial tissue. The main cause remains unclear, but trauma is presumed to be a precipitating factor, as most reporte...

cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumour occurring during childhood. this tumour, caused by lymphatic system malformations, commonly occurs in head and neck regions. herein, we report the case of a three-month-old male infant, diagnosed with a large cystic mass in the abdominal cavity and groin. the infant presented with low-grade fever and significant abdominal distension. abdominal ct scan...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a common malignant neoplasm originated from salivary glands. The clinical and pathological findings typical of this tumor include slow growth, perineural invasion, and potential local recurrence. It accounts for nearly 2% to 4% of head and neck area tumors. In minor salivary glands it usually affects the palate. We described herein the case of a patient who presented...

We report a case of a cervical rheumatoid nodule in close relation to the hyoid bone mimicking a metastatic carcinoma. A 74-year-old female with a 15-year history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on treatment with methotrexate presented with tenderness of the right base of tongue. Imaging demonstrated a 1.4 cm cystic lesion at the hyoid bone. Biopsies were unsuccessful and the patient required surg...
