fewer than 15% of lipomas occur in the head and neck. lipomas of the larynx are very rare benign laryngeal tumors (0.6%). to date less than 100 case of laryngeal lipoma have been reported in the literature.clinical manifestation include progressive horseness, dyspnea, and even dysphagia. in the direct exam smooth or pedunculated mass is seen in the larynx and sometimes if tumor is large enough ...

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is an uncommon benign apocrine gland tumour, mostly of congenital or early childhood onset, affecting head and neck. In addition, nevus sebaceous is commonly associated with this tumor. Here, we document three cases of syringocystadenoma papilliferum with many atypical features, such as the involvement of rare sites (abdomen, axilla and thigh), absence of nevus s...

malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (mpnst), the principle malignancy of peripheral nerve origin, though rare in the general population, occurs with excessive frequency among patients with neurofi bromatosis. this tumor always arises in soft-tissues, usually found in the lower extremities and only 10-12% of all lesions occur in the head and neck region, which makes it a rare entity. the pri...

Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors that occurs across a wide variety of malignancies. Hypoxia and anemia (which contributes to tumor hypoxia) can lead to ionizing radiation and chemotherapy resistance by depriving tumor cells of the oxygen essential for the cytotoxic activities of these agents. Hypoxia may also reduce tumor sensitivity to radiation therapy and chemotherapy through one ...

Paragangliomas are neoplasms of neural crest origin. In the head and neck, they uncommonly involve the larynx. The distinction between paragangliomas and other neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult. Precise diagnosis is important in order to optimize patient treatment. Diagnosis relies mostly on histopathologic examination followed by immunohistochemistry. Here we report a 77-year-old woman wi...

Endovascular tumor embolization as adjunctive therapy for head and neck cancers is evolving and has become an important part of the tools available for their treatment. Careful study of tumor vascular anatomy and adhering to general principles of intra-arterial therapy can prove this approach to be effective and safe. Various embolic materials are available and can be suited for a given tumor a...
