Histopathological Spectrum Of Head And Neck Lesions At Tertiary Care Hospital: 1531 Cases Study

Background:Head and neck lesions are commonly encountered in patients across all age groups. This region encompass a multitude of congenital, inflammatory or neoplastic lesions.To study different Head and neck lesions, find out frequency of benign and malignant head and neck lesions, histopathological appearance, compare and correlate the various histopathological Head and Neck lesions in relations to age, gender, and site of distribution at P. D. U. Medical College & Hospital, Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Material And Methods:Received specimens were fixed in 10% formalin overnight, processed, blocks were made and sectioning was done and stained with Harris Haematoxylin and Eosin stain in histopathology laboratory. Result:Total 1531 cases were studied during the periodof 1stAugust 2019 to 31stJuly 2021. Out of 1531 cases 991 were males and 550 females respectively. The most affected age group was 41-60 years. Most common anatomical site affected was Nose and Paranasal sinuses. This study include Infectious diseases as a leading cause of Head and Neck lesions because it includes period of Covid Pandemic with most common infection was Mucormyosis. Conclusion:We concluded that site specific data is helpful in evaluating common and rare lesions of head and neck and it also give idea about which site affects more frequently. We also concluded that period during which study is conducted is having huge impact on result.

Anatomical Variations in Nose and Paranasal Sinuses in Patients Presenting with Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Introduction: The anatomy of organs of ENT is a herculeantask to understand and evaluate in the whole human anatomy.Knowledge about the possible variabilities is never complete,since there is always a scope to understand better and knowmore. Many studies have been undertaken in the past tounderstand better the already existing knowledge about thevarious anatomical details in the nose and paranasal sinusescausing chronic rhinosinusitis. The present study was carriedto know the details of variations in anatomy of nose andparanasal sinuses causing chronic sinusitis.Material and Methods: A Cross sectional study conductedover a period of two years, in patients presenting to ENTOPD with symptoms and signs and chronic rhinosinusitis, ina setting of tertiary hospital, with the requisite investigativeprotocols. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were includedin the study and subjected to the prescribed interventions.Results: Observations gathered from this study are- of the65patients included, 86.1% had septal deformities, 58.4% hadConcha bullosa, 52.3% had Agger Nasi, 15.3% had HallerCell, 13% had Paradoxical Middle Turbinate, 4.6% hadEverted Uncinate Process, 3% had Enlarged Bulla.Conclusion: Sinonasal anatomy is different in each individual,with various combined variations also.

Inverted Papilloma of the Nose and Paranasal Sinuses:Analysis of CT Misdiagnosis / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To analyses the misdiagnostic reasons of inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses by CT.Methods 10 patients with inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuse,to be misdiagnosed by CT before surgery were analysed.Results The CT findings of inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses were the crawling growths of soft-tissue mass in the one side of the nose and paranasal,there were slight to moderate enhancement and probably with destruction of bone and osteosclerosis.Conclusion The rate of CT misdiagnosis of inverted papilloma in nose and paranasal sinuse can be reduced if we are strictly followed the operational rules and to do CT contrast enhance scan.
