RESUMO

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is characterized by a marked metastatic potential and is the third most common cancer of metastasis to the head and neck, following breast and lung cancer. We report a rare case of a patient with RCC with metastasis to the tongue. A 72-year-old man visited our otorhinolaryngology clinic complaining of tongue pain and ulcerative lesions which occurred 3 weeks before. The patient had been diagnosed with RCC and received a right radical nephrectomy 3 years previously. Because the lesion was suspected to be malignant, a hemiglossectomy was planned. However, metastatic lesions were suspected on the left upper lung and the left 10th ribs in imaging studies and the result of an incisional biopsy revealed tongue metastasis of RCC. RCC metastasis to the tongue is extremely rare. Only 51 cases were reported worldwide from 1911 to 2017. According to the literature, no case of RCC metastasis to the tongue has been reported to date in Korea. Therefore, we report this case along with a review of the literature.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Stapedial tendon ossification is a rare disease, with only a few reports. The stapedial tendon originates from the apex of the pyramidal eminence and is attached to the neck of the stapes. In stapedial tendon ossification, the stapes is fixed, causing conductive hearing loss. In most cases, complete hearing restoration is achieved by dividing the stapedial tendon after exploratory tympanotomy. CASE SUMMARY: A 28-year-old woman presented to our hospital with the major complaint of bilateral hearing loss that started during childhood. Exploratory tympanotomy was performed due to suspicion of otosclerosis or middle ear anomalies. We found bilateral conductive hearing loss due to stapedial tendon ossification with a middle ear anomaly during surgery. There have been several reports of complete recovery of hearing after resection of the stapedial tendon. However, in this case, recovery of hearing was insufficient, even with the division of the stapedial tendon. In the second surgery, the stapes anomaly and footplate fixation were confirmed, and hearing was completely recovered after stapedotomy. Therefore, we report this case with a review of the relevant literature. CONCLUSION: This is the first case of stapedial tendon ossification and fixation of the footplate surgically diagnosed on both sides. With surgical treatment, successful results are expected.

RESUMO

Fungal balls consist of rounded conglomerates of fungal mycelia, which can form within a preexisting cavity. They are mostly found in the paranasal sinuses in the head and neck regions. Cholesterol granuloma is a fibrotic lesion that develops as a tissue response to a foreign body such as cholesterol crystals or hemosiderin and is often associated with chronic otitis media. We present the unusual case of a 62-year-old male who was treated for chronic otitis media, which was histologically confirmed as a fungal ball and cholesterol granuloma in the middle ear cavity following tympanomastoidectomy. This is the first reported case of synchronous fungal ball and cholesterol granuloma in the middle ear cavity.

RESUMO

To investigate the potential relationship between septal deviation (SD) and headache using nationwide representative cohort sample data.This study used a nationwide cohort sample from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. The cohort sample was composed of 1 million patients, which is obtained by propensity score matching from 2002 to 2013. There were 9171 individuals in the SD group and 28243 in the control or no SD group. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis were used to calculate the incidence, survival curve, and hazard ratio of headache for each group.There were no statistically significant differences in sex (P = .7708), age (P = .991), residential area (P = .9626), or socioeconomic status (P = .9982) between the 2 groups. The survival curve between SD and control or no SD showed a statistically significant difference. The adjusted hazard ratio for headache incidence during the 10-year follow-up period of the SD group was 1.37 (95% CI: 1.31-1.43).This cohort study suggests that SD is associated with headache. Therefore, these findings suggest that septoplasty can be considered as 1 of the treatment option in SD patients with headache.
