Nasal mucosa ulceration and septal perforation as initial presentation of a patient with probable Behcet's disease
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
Behcet's disease is a vasculitis that affects multiple systems in the body, classically oral and genital mucosa. Nasal mucosa involvement is a rare manifestation of the disease, reported in only a handful of patients. We present an HLA-B51 positive, suspected Behcet's patient with predominantly nasal manifestations including epistaxis, nasal mucosa...

To describe three cases of newborn acute respiratory distress caused by a nasopharyngeal choristoma. The cases presented include the radiological, surgical, histological and historical perspective of this entity. Retrospective chart review of three cases and review of the literature. Three cases of nasopharyngeal choristoma are reported each presen...
Desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible associated with pathological fracture in a pediatric patient
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is a benign, locally aggressive, bone tumor that rarely presents in the facial bones. It is considered an intraosseous counterpart of the soft tissue fibromatoses. It is very rare in children. The present report describes the clinico-pathological and radiographic features of a desmoplastic fibroma of the mandible in a 12-y...
Unusual cause of neck swelling in two siblings
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
The neck swellings are common in children and are usually reactive lymph nodes. In developing countries the tuberculous cervical lymphadenopathy remains an important differential of a neck swelling. Cysticercosis cellulose is a parasitic infection commonly causing neural involvement. Neck is very rarely involved and is confused with lymphadenopathy...
Extrafollicular Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour presenting as a periapical lesion: Report of a rare entity
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) has been known to the pathologists for the past 100 years as a benign slow growing tumour. Histologically, this tumour has a predominantly solid component and very few case reports have described the cystic nature of AOT. In the present case we review the literature of extrafollicular AOT presenting as a periapi...
Multiple epuli in a newborn: A case report
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
Congenital epulis is a rare granular cell tumor that arises from the gingival mucosa. The cause of this lesion, first described by Neumann in 1871, remains unknown. Since that time, only case reports of the benign tumor have been published. The incidence is estimated at 0.0006%, of which 10% are multiple epuli. We describe a female infant with mult...
Oropharyngeal foreign body penetrating to carotid space in a child
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
Penetrating oropharyngeal sharp foreign bodies migrating to carotid space are very rare and may injure neurovascular structures, removal of which is challenging to both surgeon and anesthetist (Incollingo and Shevchenko, 2007; Caldwell, 1936). Here we present an unusual case of a three year child with accidental penetration of blunt object (pen cap...
An extremely rare complication of adenoidectomy; massive bleeding 7 days after the operation
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
Hemorrhagic complications after adenoidectomy are quite rare, and nearly all of these take place in a few hours after the operation and result from the remnants of the adenoid tissue. We report here in an eight-year-old girl with a massive life-threatening bleeding episode, which developed seven days after the operation. In this case, endoscopic bi...
Lymphatic malformation of the epiglottis—A case report and review of the literature
Published in International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Extra
A 2-year-old male with a new onset dysphagia was diagnosed with a huge multicystic lesion of the epiglottis. The patient was urgently operated and several cysts were resected using cold steel instruments under microscopic view. Histopathology was consistent with lymphatic malformation. Surgery resulted in total symptoms resolution and on 1 year fol...
