Fetal rat epiglottis and its developmental potential in ectopic transplants under the influence of the epigenetic drug was investigated. Epiglottises from 17-days-old rat embryos were transplanted under kidney capsules of adult rats for 14 days. 5-azacytidine (5 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally during first three days and controls were sham treated. TEM, immunohistochemical detection and q...

A case of Tubercular granuloma of the epiglottis is presented. The presenting symptoms were hoarseness and dysphagia, and the laryngoscopic appearance resembled carcinoma. Histological examination of biopsy material was diagnostic, emphasising the difficulty of diagnosis in the general population (JPMA 32:128, 1982).

Acute epiglottitis is most commonly recognised in children as an infection with H. influenzae and may be a severe and rapidly fatal disease. Less commonly, adults, compromised by chronic bronchitis, may develop acute epiglottitis with H. influenzae or with a variety of other organisms including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, ' beta haemolytic group C St...

PATIENT Male, 11. FINAL DIAGNOSIS Fibroepithelial polyp of epiglottis. SYMPTOMS Dysphagia • sore throat. MEDICATION -. CLINICAL PROCEDURE -. SPECIALTY -. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Fibroepithelial polyp, a common type of tumor in the skin and genitourinary tract, is very rare in the respiratory tract. We describe clinical, radiologic, and histological features of a fibroep...

Non-syndromic hypoplasia of the epiglottis presenting without symptoms at middle age is an extremely rare entity. We report a 50 years female who presented with oral ulcers and incidentally was found to have an asymptomatic rudimentary epiglottis and thickened bilateral aryepiglottic folds forming an inverted funnel shaped supraglottis protecting the airway from any aspiration. This case demons...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) frequently involves the upper respiratory tracts, but involvement of the epiglottis is extremely rare. This report describes a patient initially presenting with dysphagia and increasing stridor due to epiglottitis. Bronchoscopy showed swelling of the epiglottis with partly whitish nodular lesions, with biopsy specimens showing neutrophil infiltration and n...

Dermoid cysts arising from the head and neck region are rare, slow-growing, and well-circumscribed neoplasms. Symptoms are non-specific and usually related to the size and the location of the lesion. A dermoid cyst of the epiglottis is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one case has been previously reported in the English literature. In this study, a case of a dermoid cyst arisi...
