Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a fatal and rare disease, mainly located in extremity and body. Due to the good blood supply, the occurrence of this infective disease of skin and subcutaneous tissue/fascia is much rarer in the head and neck region. In this study, we represent periorbital necrotizing fasciitis case in a patient with normal immune system. The patient applied the emergency clinic with the complaints of swelling and redness on the left eye. It was found out that a skin incision occurred at 2 cm below the left eye with razor blade 2 days ago. After taking swab culture sample, patient was started on parenteral Vancomycin + Ampicillin-Sulbactam treatment. It was observed that necrosis spread within hours and an emergent deep surgical debridement was performed. Following the debridement, it was observed that periorbital edema began to regress prominently on the 1st day of the treatment. Treatment was carried on with daily wound care and parenteral antibiotherapy. The patient was discharged from the hospital with slightly cosmetic defect.

AbstractNecrotizing fasciitis (NF) is part of the class of necrotizing soft tissue infections characterized by rapid fascial spread and necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia. If left untreated, NF can rapidly deteriorate into multiorgan shock and systemic failure. NF most commonly infects the trunk and lower extremities, although it can sometimes present in the head and neck region. This review provides an overview of NF as it relates specifically to the head and neck region, including its associated clinical features and options for treatment. Noma, a related but relatively unknown disease, is then described along with its relationship with severe poverty.

ABSTRACT Necrotizing fasciitis is a progressive, life-threatening, bacterial infection of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue and the underlying fascia, in most cases caused by β-hemolytic group A Streptococcus. Only early diagnosis and aggressive therapy including broad spectrum antibiotics and surgical intervention can avoid systemic toxicity with a high mortality rate. This disease is commonly known to occur in the lower extremities and trunk, and only rarely in the head and neck region, the face being rarest finding. When located in the face necrotizing fasciitis is associated with severe cosmetic and functional complication due to the invasive nature, infection and often due to the necessary surgical treatment. In the following article, we present the successful diagnosis and management of an isolated facial necrotizing fasciitis as a consequence of odontogenic infection.

Lipoma is a common benign tumor affecting the soft tissues arising in every location where fat is normally present. Only 13% of them arise in the head and neck region and most of these occur subcutaneously in the posterior neck. Rarely, they can develop from deeper planes in the anterior neck, infratemporal fossa, in or around the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and parotid gland. They usually present as a benign, slowly growing and rarely recur Clinically, they can be confused with other benign lesions; however, CT and Ultrasonography allows a specific diagnosis to be made in virtually all cases. The aim of this article is to report a unique case of a lipoma with benign microscopic appearance located deep to the subcutaneous tissue in the para-parotid area of a 45 years-old female patient.

Introduction: Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous carcinoma occurs mainly in the head and neck region, rarely in trunk. Case report: We present a case report of 63-year-old patient, operated on for sebaceous carcinoma in the right breast area. The patient underwent radical surgery, removal of the tumor with the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the large pectoral muscle. The patient is in good clinical condition eight months after the surgery. She is being constantly monitored and so far, there are neither signs of local recurrence nor tumor progression. Conclusion: Patients with rare tumors should be treated comprehensively with subsequent lifelong dispensarisation in specialized centers. Multidisciplinary medical teams are able to eruditely diagnose, recognize, treat and dispense patients.

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon fulminant disease of single or polymicrobial infectious origin characterized by rapid necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue and fasciae. The disease has high mortality rate. Early identification, timely surgical debridement, broad spectrum antibiotic therapy, aggressive wound care and intensive medical care of the patient are of paramount importance for better prognosis. We present a case report and review of literature of cervical necrotizing fasciitis with a thorough insight into its epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management.

Grade Tumour

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma is a low grade tumour of the sweat gland rarely occurring in middle aged men, more commonly in the sixth decade. When seen in a younger age group, the tumour tends to be more aggressive with potential for metastasis. Clinical presentation is usually a hard nodular well defined painless lesion confined to skin and subcutaneous tissue, commonly seen in head and neck region. Histopathological examination of the specimen shows cells with myxoid and mucinous material, confirmed by immunohistochemistry showing positive for estrogens and progesterone receptor and cytokeratin 7, is diagnostic. Surgery is the treatment of choice, wide local excision with margin of 1 cm as this tumor is resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Its tendency for late recurrences and rare metastasis, adds to the good prognosis. With rare chances of distant metastasis, prognosis remains good but local recurrences are not uncommon after excision.

Odontogenic Infections

Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive infectious disease of the soft tissue with high mortality and morbidity rates. Necrotizing fasciitis is occasionally located in the head and neck region and develops after odontogenic infections. Factors affecting treatment success rates are early diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic treatment, and surgical debridement. We present a necrotizing fasciitis case located in the neck region that developed after sialoadenitis. It is important to emphasize that necrotizing fasciitis to be seen in the neck region is very rare. Nonodontogenic necrotizing fasciitis is even more rare.
