Cancer metastasis to the oral and maxillofacial region is uncommon, and metastasis to the mandibular condyle is considered rare. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman with a history of invasive ductal cell carcinoma of the right breast, 10 years in remission, presenting with a 6-month history of symptoms typical of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Imaging revealed an osteolytic lesion of her right TMJ and subsequent open biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. Despite the rarity of metastatic cancer to the head and neck region, it is still important for clinicians from both medical and dental backgrounds to consider this differential diagnosis, particularly in patients with a history of hormonal positive subtype of breast cancer. Given that bony metastasis can manifest even 10 years after initial diagnosis, surveillance which includes examination of the head and neck region is important, and may include routine plain-film imaging surveillance with an orthopantomogram (OPG).

ABSTRACT Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor but rare in the head and neck region because of intramembranous origin of craniofacial bones. In the head and neck it occurs most commonly at tip of coronoid or condylar process. Clinically features can mimic condylar hyperplasia. This case report adds to the growing knowledge about this rare tumor. How to cite this article Vaidya S, Sidana S, Galinde J, Natrajan S. Osteochondroma of the Mandibular Condyle.

Laryngeal Involvement

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a very rare condition that commonly affects the head and neck region. There are very few cases of isolated laryngeal involvement by LCH, mostly reported in pediatric patients. Here, we report a case of laryngeal LCH in a 62-year-old woman presenting with a neck mass several weeks ago. The clinical and histopathological findings are reported with a brief discussion about the disease.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, vascular and cystic bony tumors which can be rapidly expanding and locally cause destruction of the surrounding tissue. ABCs in the head and neck area are usually found in patients with younger age group. ABC in the head and neck region of children may vary in presentations and severity.  ABCs are commonly found in mandible, sinonasal tract and cranium in head and neck region. Imaging and histopathological examinations confirm the diagnosis. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. ABC which is secondary to underlying bone pathology like osteoblastoma may refractory to treatment. ABC in the head and neck region are uncommon and should be considered as differential diagnosis of bony and vascular lesions in the locations like mandible, sinonasal area, cranium, mastoid bone and spine. The review article includes case series, case reports and original research on ABCs manifesting in the head and neck area published in the English language. All literatures identified via Scopus, Google scholar, Medline and PubMed were analyzed individually. Articles of ABCs included according to specified eligibility criteria. The total number of articles were 78 (41 case reports; 37 cases series; 8 original articles). ABCs rapidly grow with expansile manner and result in destruction of bone and surrounding tissue in the head and neck region, so clinicians must think about this clinical entity to diagnose correctly and treat appropriately. The aim of the article is providing a comprehensive review of the ABC in the head and neck region of the pediatric patients.

The majority of cases of actinomycosis are of odontogenic origin and related to the perimandibular region with other sites of primary actinomycosis in the head and neck region include the tongue, paranasal sinuses, middle ear, larynx, lacrimal passage, and thyroid gland. Actinomycosis is an uncommon infection caused by Actinomyces species, facultative anaerobic bacteria that are part of the normal flora in the oropharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and female genital tract. The risk factors for actinomycosis in the pediatric age group are dental caries, trauma, debilitation, and poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. The pathogenesis of the actinomycosis in the head and neck region is often unclear. The hallmark of actinomycosis is the spread of infection which fails to respect the tissue or fascial planes. The organism causing actinomycosis is often difficult to isolate from culture and the differential diagnosis is extensive which prompts clinicians to name the actinomycosis the masquerader of the head and neck area. This clinical entity in pediatric patients may mimic malignancy or granulomatous disease in the head and neck region. Clinicians must be aware of typical presentations of actinomycosis in the head and neck region. Bacterial cultures and histopathological study are the cornerstones of the diagnosis of actinomycosis, however, particular conditions are needed to find the exact diagnosis. The treatment of actinomycosis includes a combination of surgery and antibiotic therapy. Surgery is an important adjunctive to medical therapy in patients with extensive lesions of actinomycosis. Actinomyces species are uniformly susceptible to penicillin. This review article discusses the etiopathology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and current treatment of the actinomycosis in the head and neck region of pediatric patients.
