Medial Maxillectomy

Angiosarcomas are rapidly growing malignant neoplasms arising from the vascular endothelial cells. Most common sites are the extremities and the retroperitoneal space, with only four per cent of angiosarcomas arising in the head and neck area, whilst the paranasal sinuses are one of the rarest locations. We report the case of a maxillary sinus angiosarcoma in a 72-year-old male patient. The first biopsy was inconclusive, whereas the second revealed an angiosarcoma. Medial maxillectomy was performed with subsequent external irradiation.

Argon Ion

Argon laser radiation is used to treat congenital and acquired vascular lesions of the head and neck. Thirteen patients requiring a total of 36 treatments were followed up for a minimum of 1 year to assess the response of the vascular lesion to argon ion radiation. Of the 13 patients, 10 had an excellent result, with the lesion no longer being identifiable. Three of the patients had residual but minimal color remaining in the lesion. There were no complications or hypertrophic scars after 1 year of follow-up. The laser parameters used and the surgical technique followed are outlined.

Viable Treatment

Painful neuromas are a devastating condition that is notoriously difficult to treat. The large number of techniques that have been attempted suggest that no one technique is superior. Neuromas often occur in the extremities, but iatrogenically caused pain in the head and neck area has also been described. This article describes 3 consecutive patients diagnosed with traumatic neuroma who underwent transection of the causative nerve, followed by capping of the nerve stump with a Neurocap. With a follow-up of 7 to 24 months, our results show a marked reduction in the pain scores of all 3 patients. The preliminary results indicate that this technique might be a viable treatment option for patients with a suspected neuroma in the head and neck area.
