Introduction: An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor of intermediate malignant potential. It may occur in a wide range of anatomical locations. One-third are found in the respiratory tract. We report two cases of IMT of the airway diagnosed at our institution.   Case Report: Case 1: A 6-year-old male child presented with a 1-month history of hoarseness of the voice. On ...

AIMS Conventionally, adenoidectomy has been performed using blind curettage. Postoperative hemorrhage is the most common complication of surgery. There is no specific management algorithm in the literature. In this study, we described an endoscopic approach in the management of postadenoidectomy hemorrhage. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 1995 and 2014, 7946 patients undergoing adenoidectomy und...

Merkel cell carcinoma is an extremely rare neuroendocrine neoplasm of the external auditory canal (EAC) skin, which requires wide excision and adjuvant radiation due to a high recurrence rate. In this report, we describe case arising from EAC was successfully treated with endoscopic excision. A 32-years-old female patient history papillary thyroid cancer diagnosed tumor incidentally. There eryt...

Accessory parotid gland (APG) tumors account for 1% to 7% of all neoplasms but are more likely be malignant than main tumors. Management APG entails surgical excision. Four primary approaches resection have been described in the literature with varying facial nerve outcomes. We report a case 4-cm pleomorphic adenoma utilizing transoral approach excision without postoperative injury. A is known ...

Abstract The endoscopic transnasal, transsphenoidal surgical technique for pituitary tumour excision has generally been regarded as a less invasive technique, ranging from single nostril to dual nostril techniques. We propose a single nostril technique using a modified nasal speculum as a preferred technique. We initially reviewed 25 patients who underwent pituitary tumour excision, via endosco...

PURPOSE Transanal endoscopic microsurgery provides a minimally invasive alternative to radical surgery for excision of benign and malignant rectal tumors. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with transanal endoscopic microsurgery to clarify its role in the treatment of different types of rectal pathology. METHODS A prospective database documented all patients undergoing tra...

Aneurysmal cysts of bone are rare non-neoplastic, locally aggressive lesion of bone with propensity for rapid growth, affecting mainly the long bones and spine. It rarely occurs in the head and neck region and within the head and neck mandible (especially the molar areas) is common. Aneurysmal cyst of bone involving the maxilla in the first decade of life is even rarer. We report a case of gian...

Paragangliomas of the head and neck are rare especially in larynx. A 36 year old female patient presented with a history progressive voice change difficulty swallowing for 6 months. During endoscopic examinationsmooth surfaced mass on Left supraglottic region, was noted. Tumour excised through transcervical excision. Histology immunohistochemistry tumour revealed that, it paraganglioma.

Much of the flat or biopsy-only detected dysplasia in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that had historically warranted a colectomy can now be shown to be circumscribed lesions with dye-spray or advanced endoscopic imaging. These lesions are therefore amenable to endoscopic excision with close endoscopic follow-up, though are technically very challenging. This review discusses preresection asses...
