Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign vascular neoplasms. IMH accounts for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. These neoplasms commonly occur in trunk and extremities but are rare in head and neck region. The present case is a 17-year-old female patient, who presented with a painless, slowly enlarging mass in left sided upper neck for 4 years. Investigations were suggestive of vascular neoplas...

BACKGROUND Radiotherapy is associated with a risk of subsequent neoplasms (SN) in childhood cancer survivors. It has been shown that children's thyroid glands are especially susceptible. The aim is to quantify the risk of a second neck neoplasm after primary cancer radiotherapy with emphasis on thyroid cancer. METHODS We performed a nested case-control study: 29 individuals, diagnosed with a ...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy is an established technique for the staging and treatment of melanoma. The success of lymphatic mapping in this realm has broadened its application to other solid neoplasms. This update reviews the status of sentinel lymph node biopsy in its most widely cited applications. METHODS Seminal manuscripts on lymphatic mapping in melanoma,...

Epignathus or oropharyngeal teratomas are extremely rare congenital neoplasms that arise from the oral cavity or pharynx. Teratomas commonly occur in sacrococcygeal region. However, less than 5% occur in the head and neck. Malignant teratomas account 5%-30% of all teratomas. We present an unusual case of immatureoropharyngeal teratoma that arises from sphenoid with intracranial extension, in a ...

Rhabdomyosarcoma encompasses a group of malignant myogenic neoplasms expressing a multitude of clinical and pathological diversities. It is the commonest soft tissue sarcoma of childhood but neonates are rarely affected. Embryonal subtype is the most frequent. Head-neck and genitourinary tracts are predominant sites, while trunk is considered among the unusual sites of rhabdomyosarcoma. Herein ...

introduction: desmoid tumors are very rare, benign fibrous neoplasms arise from the musculoaponeurotic structures throughout the body.   case report: the patient was a   seven-year old boy with a large mandibular mass growing over a period of six months. his ct-scan showed a large mass, 13 cm in diameter in the cheek area extending to the neck and trachea. biopsy was compatible with desmoid fib...

Abstract Background Ectopic meningiomas are rare neoplasms that occur entirely outside the intracranial and intraspinal cavities account for only 1–2% of all meningiomas. These tumors have been reported at various sites, however they predominantly observed in head neck region. Here, we detail a case an adult diagnosed with ectopic meningioma neck. Case presentation A 26-year-old woman underwent...

Introduction Cancers are among the worst noncommunicable diseases around the world. Head and neck cancers are ranked as the fifth most common cancers worldwide. As there are different distributions of risk factors around the world, the incidence of these cancers varies from one place to another. Materials and Methods: We conducted a descriptive analytic cross-sectional study, based on census-ba...

Patients with primary head and neck cancers have a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate esophageal cancer prevalence, its risk factors (ethanol and tobacco consumption) and dietary habits in patients with head and neck cancer. Three hundred and twenty-six adults with primary head and neck cancer were followed by a retrospective observational stud...

The neoplasms of the Parpharyngeal Space (PPS) are rare 0.5%-1% all head and neck tumors [1]. PPS is an inverted cone-shaped region that extends from skull base to hyoid bone. A complex structure called tensor-vascular-styloid fascia, divides into prestyloid poststyloid compartments. can be involved by four different types neoplastic lesions: Primary (benign or malignant), metastatic lymph node...
