First Time

Synovial sarcomas in the head and neck are extremely rare tumors, especially in the pediatric population. 3–5% of synovial sarcomas occur in the head and neck region displaying varied imaging and histopathological features resulting in frequent misdiagnosis. These tumors have a poor prognosis; hence early diagnosis and accurate classification based on imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry are critical for prompt treatment. To the best of our knowledge, imaging findings of pediatric retropharyngeal lipomatous synovial sarcoma have not been reported to date in English medical literature. We report, for the first time, a rare case of retropharyngeal lipomatous synovial sarcoma in a ten-year-old child and discuss the case-specific imaging findings in our patient using magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.

Tuberculosis TB one of the major health problem in developed countries, with extremely high prevalence in Asian countries, mainly caused by "Mycobacterium Tuberculosis". Although pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form of the disease, it also can occur in other organ systems such as lymph nodes, central nervous system, skeletal system, hepatic system, and gastrointestinal system, including the oral cavity. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is an uncommon form of chronic infection that does not present typical signs and symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis. Oral tuberculosis is an uncommon form and is often overlooked as it shows no path gnomic signs. This article presents our experience of unusual atypical tuberculosis in the Head and Neck region.

AbstractObjective:To report a case of primary nasal tuberculosis, and to discuss the diagnostic difficulties encountered.Setting:A teaching hospital in Norwich, UK.Method:Case report and review of the English language literature concerning tuberculosis affecting the head and neck region.Result:The diagnosis of nasal tuberculosis is based on: histological identification of granulomatous inflammation; positive testing for acid-alcohol resistant bacilli; and positive culture. Newer diagnostic tests have the advantage of speed and improved accuracy, but are not as yet completely evaluated for the diagnosis of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis.Conclusion:It is important to consider nasal tuberculosis in the initial differential diagnosis. The quest to exclude a malignancy may lead to unacceptable delays in treatment.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The study aimed to assess the clinical manifestations of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (head and neck) in diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients and without pulmonary TB and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) in the diagnosis of extra-pulmonary TB.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study was conducted as an observational study at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, tertiary care center, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) for a period of 18 months i.e. from 01 March 2019 to 31 August 2020 on 30 patients presenting with lesions in ear, nose and throat (ENT), head and neck region. All necessary investigations with TB workup were done. Sputum samples were analyzed by CBNAAT on Xpert- <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> complex/resistance to rifampin (MTB/RIF). Patients were treated accordingly. Appropriate surgical intervention was done in necessary cases. Using statistical analysis, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy was calculated for CBNAAT.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Neck swelling and ear discharge were the most common features observed in 66.7% of cases. In cases with pulmonary TB, systemic features were the most predominant features whereas in cases with extra-pulmonary TB, local features were predominant. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of CBNAAT were documented to be 85%, 50%, 89.5% and 40% respectively.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> TB of the head and neck are commonly encountered in clinical practice. The patients usually present with variable clinical manifestations depending upon the site of involvement. The middle ear is the most common site affected by head and neck tuberculosis. CBNAAT is a sensitive tool for the diagnosis of extra-pulmonary TB with and without associated pulmonary TB.</p>
