Rare Lesion

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an extremely rare lesion found in the maxillofacial region. Its frequency diminishes further when found in the bone. Although classification has varied throughout its history, the histologic features are often diagnostic, particularly with its strong association with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1 (ALK-1) staining. The current mode of treatment for such a lesion is surgical removal with careful followup. In this rare case report, we describe the diagnosis and treatment in a 16-year-old male. Although this rare pathology can present as—and at times mimic—more serious pathologies, it is important for the attending surgeon to initially manage the pathology conservatively.

Rare Case Report

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

Cervical spine schwannoma, which is long and entirely intracanal, is rare to be found. Its rarity and atypical feature leads to difficulty in diagnosing and managing cases because of the scarcity of available literature. The surgical removal of this type of schwannomas via multisegment laminectomy is a great challenge because of various risks of postoperative complications. This report describes cervical spine schwannoma that was initially was not suspected as schwannoma and was subject to surgical removal via nine-segment laminectomy. In one year after surgery, motor function returned to normal strength, no new neurological deficits occurred, and no kyphotic deformity, which is a common complication of multisegment laminectomy.

The Masses

Schwannomas are also known as neurolemmas that are usually originated from Schwann cells located in the peripheric nerve sheaths. They are the most common tumours of the hand (0.8–2%). They usually present solitary swelling along the course of the nerve however multiple lesions may be present in cases of NF type 1, familial neurofibromatosis, and sporadic schwannomatosis. Schwannomas are generally represented as an asymptomatic mass; however pain, numbness and fatigue may take place with the increasing size of the tumour. EMG (electromyelography), MRI (magnetic resonance imagination), and USG (ultrasound) are helpful in the diagnosis. Surgical removal is usually curative. In this paper, we present a 24-year-old male referred to our clinic for a lump located at the volar side of the left wrist and a lump located in his left palm and numbness at his 3rd and 4th fingers. Total excision was performed for both lesions. Histopathological examination of the masses revealed typical features of schwannoma. At the 6th-month followup the patient was symptom-free except for slight paresthesia of the 3rd and the 4th fingers. For our knowledge, this is the second case in the literature presenting wrist and palm involvement of the median nerve schwannoma.

History Of

Background: Schwannoma is classified as a benign, encapsulated tumor, derived from the perineural cells which are classified as neural cell membranes. About 10% of Schwannomas has occurred in the head and neck and the incidence of Schwannoma arising from the Cervical C2 nerve roots is extremely rare. Aims of study: This case report aims to provide a rare case report on Schwannoma located in cervical cervices (C2& C3). Case presentation: A 37-year-old female patient with a lump in the left neck for 4 years ago, the first lump appeared as a larger (increasingly large 1×1 cm) marbles with no pain in the lump but over the past 4 months the patient felt his legs and arms are weak. Patients have a history of surgical removal of tumors in the back of the neckline by the end of 2016. At first, we estimated the lump that appeared on the left neck of the patient stands alone in the sense that it was not related to the history of the first lump surgery, but when further examination, the tumor was apparently related to the lump that appeared previously who had surgery. Conclusion: The extracranial Schwannoma in the head and neck areas is a rare neoplasm. The extracranial Schwannoma case is a case that is difficult to diagnose, in addition to good clinical examination, imaging examination, such as CT scan and MRI are an indispensable way of ensuring the diagnosis of an extracranial Schwannoma.
