Thyroglossal duct cysts are most common congenital anomalies in thyroid development and are usually presented with midline neck swelling. The co-existence of carcinoma in thyroglossal duct cyst’s is extremely rare. We, herein present a case of primary papillary carcinoma arising from thyroglossal duct cyst in a 45 year old woman.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-IN">Thyroid abscess is a rare clinical entity which is attributable to its unique anatomical and physical characteristics which makes it resistant to infection. Thyroid gland is resistant to infection because of its rich blood supply and lymphatic drainage, an iodine rich environment and separation of the gland from other structures of neck by facial planes. In our case report, 5 years old male patient presented with a painful anterior midline neck swelling which was diagnosed as thyroid abscess caused by <em>Enterococcus</em> species. The patient was successfully treated with surgical drainage and appropriate antibiotics</span><span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p>

Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a newly discovered subtype of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and characterized by thyroid inflammation and marked fibrosis. IgG4-related Hashimoto's thyroiditis is very rare and there has been relatively little information available to date. A 46-year-old woman with a past history of thyroid dysfunction visited our outpatient clinic for severe anterior neck swelling. She complained of swallowing discomfort and pain due to severe goiter and was successfully treated with total thyroidectomy. Immunohistochemistry showed thyroid invasion by IgG4-positive cells and an IgG4/IgG ratio over 40%. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-related Hashimoto's thyroiditis. We report a very rare case of IgG4-related Hashimoto's thyroiditis with severe goiter. A more comprehensive understanding of the IgG4-related Hashimoto's thyroiditis may help physicians to allow proper diagnosis and treatment of patients with severe goiter.

Objective. To present a rare case of extensive subcutaneous emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum following ingestion of Ecstasy in a young adult. We also review the relevant literature and discuss how this case supplements it.Case Report. We report a case of a 19-year-old man with a history of painless neck and chest swelling, and no chest pain or breathlessness, after consuming Ecstasy tablets. Radiological imaging showed evidence of pneumomediastinum and extensive subcutaneous emphysema. The patient remained well under observation and his symptoms improved with conservative management.Conclusions. Subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum after Ecstasy ingestion is uncommon. Cases are often referred to the otolaryngologist as they can present with neck and throat symptoms. Our case showed that the severity of symptoms may not correlate with severity of the anatomical abnormality and that pneumomediastinum should be suspected in Ecstasy users who present with neck swelling despite the absence of chest symptoms. Although all cases reported so far resolved with conservative management, it is important to perform simple investigations to exclude coexisting serious pathology.

Benign Teratoma

<p>Cervical teratomas are extremely rare germ cell tumours. Cervical teratoma is much more common in newborn than adults, and in contrast to the paediatric cases adult teratomas have been highly malignant. Cervical teratoma incorporates lesions arising in the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck. Cervical teratoma can reach enormous size and cause airway obstruction.  Surgery is the primary modality of treatment as malignant transformation occurs. Hereby, we present a case of benign teratoma of neck in adult which was completely misdiagnosed preoperatively due to its rare occurence in adults. Even though cervical teratoma of adult is extremely rare, it should be considered as an important differential diagnosis in patient of midline cystic neck swelling. Preoperative radiological investigations requires high index of suspicion. Complete surgical resection is recommended. </p>

Differentiated thyroid cancer is a rare disease in children and adolescents and manifests exclusively in the form of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). We present a rare case of PTC who presented initially with lung symptoms and miliary nodules on chest X-ray. This case emphasises the important differential of miliary mottling of the lungs.

Cystic hygroma is a benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that occurs in children younger than two years of age. Hygroma commonly presents in head and neck but can be present anywhere. It is rarely seen in adults. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with a huge painless right-sided cystic neck swelling of 11 months duration, associated with progressive dysphagia and difficulty in breathing when lying supine or on her left side. Clinically, the swelling occupied both right anterior and posterior triangles of her neck with impalpable right carotid pulsations. Computed tomography revealed a cystic mass lesion. The mass was excised totally through right supraclavicular incision, after identification of the great auricular, spinal accessory and phrenic nerves. Paraffin section confirmed the diagnosis of cystic hygroma. After an uneventful postoperative period the patient was discharged and has had no recurrence to date.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of the oropharyngeal form of tularaemia, causing a parapharyngeal abscess.Case report:A 48-year-old woman presented with fever, sore throat, breathing difficulty and a right-sided neck swelling. This mass had previously been treated with penicillin without response, and had already been surgically drained once in another hospital. On physical examination, the tonsils were exudative and hypertrophic and the pharynx was hyperaemic. A fluctuant, 4 × 4 cm mass was seen on endoscopic examination, originating from the left parapharyngeal area and protruding towards the pyriform sinus, and partly obstructing the airway. Microagglutination test antibody titres for Francisella tularensis were positive (1/1280). The patient healed completely after definitive drainage of the abscess and antimicrobial therapy for 14 days (streptomycin, 2 × 1 g intramuscularly).Conclusion:Tularaemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with tonsillopharyngitis, cervical lymphadenitis and parapharyngeal abscess who do not respond to treatment with penicillin, even if they do not live in an endemic region.
