ABSTRACT
As an otorhinolaryngologist it is not an everyday occurrence to find a swelling in the nasolabialfold area. The challenge however lies in the diagnosis, proper and timed treatment of the existing pathology, especially in a non –infective case. There are various pathologies that can lead to a swelling in the nasolabial area. We here report a rare case of a female patient who presented to our outpatient department with a slowly progressive nasolabial swelling which radiologically pointed towards a Nasolabial cyst. However, the final diagnosis was an entity on the other end of spectrum, an Ameloblastoma, an odontogenic tumor
ABSTRACT
Multiple Epiphyseal Disorder (MED) is a congenital birth disorder presenting with abnormalities of bone and cartilage and is of two types – dominant and recessive. Nearly 50% of individuals with recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (rMED) are born with at least one abnormal feature, including clubfoot, cleft palate, clinodactyly, or ear swelling. A case report of 6-year-old male child with left ear swelling and deafness is presented to highlight the need for maintaining a high index of suspicion for this disorder. A missed or delayed diagnosis of this diagnosis may lead to an erroneous treatment plan
