Abstract: Dysphagia is a common symptom in patients presenting to physicians in primary and secondary care. The term dysphagia describes the perception of obstruction during swallowing. The initial consideration when dealing with this symptom is to exclude serious pathology such as a malignancy. In this case report, we describe an unusual combination of two pathologies to account for dysphagia in our patient

Abstract: Juvenile aggressive ossifying fibroma (JAOF) is a rare variant of ossifying fibroma. Conventional ossifying fibromas are slow growing neoplasms thought to originate from osseous mesenchyme, commonly arising in the mandible. Conversely, JAOF occurs more frequently in the paranasal bones with rapid growth leading to local destruction, facial asymmetry, nasal obstruction, and proptosis. JAOF has two microscopic variants, psammomatoid and trabecular. Most JAOFs occur in patients less than 12-years-old with slight male predominance. We present an 18-year old female with facial asymmetry for two years duration and recent onset of severe headaches.

Abstract: Particular attention should be given to the eye examination when ZMC fractures are suspected. The anterior and posterior segments of the eye should be assessed, along with evaluation of optic nerve function and ocular motility. Visual field defects decreased visual acuity, abnormal papillary response, or impaired perception of red color saturation is likely

Abstract: Primary cancer of the External Auditory Meatus (EAM) is a rare disease, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being the most frequent histological type. The invasion of local tissues occurs in most cases, and its treatment is a challenge due to the complex local anatomy. This report presents the case of a 40-year-old patient who presented with a complaint of chronic otorrhea associated with a mass in EAM and a history of treatment of posterior fossa astrocytoma 17 years ago, treated with neurosurgery followed by radiotherapy.

Abstract: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the growth of benign tumors in the nervous system. It has variable clinical manifestations, but nasal complaints are usually rare. In this paper, we present a case report of nasal schwannoma in a patient with NF2. The present report highlights the importance of investigating those patients with such underlying disease and complaining of nasal obstruction, especially in the presence of unilateral nasal mass.

Abstract: The study presents the case of a 37-year-old female expatriate who was referred with a neck swelling and was managed further in Tawam Hospital, Al Ain. Initial ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology from the right thyroid nodule confirmed papillary carcinoma of thyroid Bethesda type 6 and fine needle aspiration cytology from the right mid jugular lymph node proved metastasis from the primary.

Abstract: A 20-year-old female patient underwent ligation of her external carotid artery due to life threatening haemorrhagic episodes following a biopsy as a neonate. She was diagnosed with a locally invasive, congenital orbital haemangiopericytoma and subsequently underwent chemotherapy and surgical excision of the tumour. Long term follow-up over 20 years revealed that the patient had developed severe craniofacial microsomia and a Class III asymmetric malocclusion.

Abstract: Foreign body ingestion is a common clinical problem for otorhinolaryngology. Fish bone ingestion poses additional hazards such as increased chance of impaction. If the fish bone passes into the gastrointestinal tract, there has been documentation of potential bowel perforation. The diagnosis of a foreign body within the oroesophageal tract will frequently include a history of ingestion, with subsequent chest or throat discomfort, gagging, emesis, or dysphagia. Typically, if the fish bone does become impacted, endoscopic measures are able to retrieve the object

Abstract: Alloplastic materials are used in facial bony reconstruction, but the ideal material for such procedures has yet to be elucidated. 3D printed polymers are a promising new material for use in bony reconstructive procedures. This article documents the novel usage of polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) in an orbital floor reconstruction. We report the case of a patient who experienced a traumatic left-sided orbital floor fracture and received a porous polyethylene implant. This inadequately restored the orbital floor, and the patient underwent a revision surgery of this defect with PEK K.

Abstract: To solve the research purpose, the investigators designed and implemented a retrospective study. The study population was composed of all elderly patients presenting to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) for evaluation and management of resection of oral and maxillofacial tumors and anterolateral thigh free flap reconstruction from January 2011 to March 2019.

Abstract: Pleomorphic adenomas of salivary glands in children’s ages is one of the rare finds. These tumors are 1-3% of the head and neck tumors. The most common pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland is found in the parotid (60-65%). This slowly growing tumor is most commonly seen in women in the 5th-6th decades. Histologically, these tumors include epithelial, mesenchymal, myoepithelial components covered by pseudocapsulus. Pleomorphic adenoma is found to be very late as 1-1.5% for children aged 16 and under

Abstract: We present the case of lacrimal gland adenocarcinoma with apocrine metaplasia and a literature review for similar cases. A 65-year-old male with painless eyelid swelling was admitted to our hospital. A physical examination revealed tumor on the caudal side of the left orbital cavity, and a biopsy indicated apocrine adenocarcinoma.

Abstract: Sebaceous cell carcinoma is a rare cutaneous aggressive tumor arising from the sebaceous glands. . Its almost exclusive site of occurrence is the eyelid but it has also been reported primarily in other sites, such as the parotid region. It is one of the most dangerous tumors, due to masquerading as inflammatory conditions, such as blepharoconjunctivitis, superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis or chalazion.

Abstract: Hurthle cell carcinoma is a rare thyroid neoplasm with unpredictable development. Ever since its first description in 1907 by Langhans there have been a debate about their origin, clinical course, treatment and prognosis. Here, we describe a case of an 81-year-old male which after great diagnostic dilemma proved to be an aggressive Hürtle cell carcinoma.
