Naso-Pharyngeal Fibroma

Lympho-epithelioma of the Thymus: Nervous and Other Clinical Symptoms in the Adult.

IN this paper we are concerned, not with the simple tumours-fibroma, lipoma, lymphangioma, lymphosarcoma, round-cell sarcoma-which occasionally (though rarely) arise in the thymus, as in other parts of the body, but with those which arise from the essential epithelioid cells of the thymic medulla associated in greater or lesser proportion with lymphocyte-like cells (probably really lymphocytes)...

Congenital pharyngeal teratoma associated with malposed palatine teeth (A case report)

Pharyngeal teratomas are rare. We present a mature solid teratoma (so called “hairypolyp”) involving naso- and oro- pharynx in a female infant who presented with a gradually enlarging mass at the roof of the mouth since birth. The pharyngeal mass was protruding into the mouth through a palatine defect pr...

Naso-pharyngeal entrapment. An unusual complication of naso-jejunal feeding tube insertion using a guidewire

We present the case of an unusual complication of insertion of a naso-jejunal feeding tube (NJT) using a guidewire, where the guidewire formed an alpha-loop in the naso-pharynx, becoming entrapped after cutting into the soft palate. This required ENT input and a general anaesthetic to rectify the situation.

Humans are the only natural reservoir for N. meningitidis, 5–10 per cent of whom have naso-pharangeal colonisation of the bacteria at any given time. The bacteria are transmitted between people by secretions from the naso-pharynx. Disease occurs in rare instances when a virulent strain of the bacteri...
