Abstract
Although they are relatively rare, osteomas are the most frequent benign neoplasm of the paranasal sinuses. When they are large or symptomatic, surgical intervention through open or endoscopic approaches is required. The association between osteoma and myxoma is rarely addressed in the literature and myxoid degeneration of osteomas is not known. We report a case of a giant frontoethmoidal osseous lesion in a 52 years old man which was completely removed through an open approach. Histological examination of the removed mass revealed an osteoma with a myxoid component.

Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type II is an inherited autosomal dominant syndrome, characterized by multiple neoplasms of the central and peripheral nervous system associated with ocular abnormalities. The most common tumor associated with the disease is the vestibulocochlear schwannoma, and as many as 10% of patients with this tumor have neurofibromatosis type 2. In this report, we aim to present a 36-year-old female who presented with chief complaints of unilateral tinnitus, and, during her workup, which included cranial and whole spine magnetic resonance imaging, we found bilateral acoustic neuroma with multiple meningiomas. Based on clinical and imaging findings, the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 2 was made.

Abstract
Clear cell carcinoma is a rare form of salivary gland tumor, most commonly affecting the palate and tongue. We present a patient with cervical lymph node metastasis 28 years after treatment for clear cell salivary carcinoma of the soft palate. A new neck mass was found in a 69-yearold man with a remote history of clear cell salivary carcinoma of the soft palate. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy demonstrated no evidence of malignancy; however, excisional biopsy revealed carcinoma. Neck dissection was performed and final pathologic review demonstrated clear cell salivary carcinoma metastatic to a cervical lymph node. Clear cell salivary carcinoma may be less indolent than previously believed. Metastases to cervical lymph nodes and distant sites have been reported in one-fourth of patients and can occur many years after treatment. Immunohistochemical staining is a valuable adjunct for differentiating clear cell carcinoma from other neoplasms that demonstrate clear cell components. This rare case of late neck metastasis after clear cell salivary carcinoma of the soft palate highlights the need for high clinical suspicion of recurrence many years after treatment and indicates the role of neck dissection for diagnosis and treatment in patients with possible nodal spread.IntroductionCase presentationDiscussionConclusion

Abstract
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rarely seen neoplasm of plasma cells which may be locally destructive by involving submucosal soft tissues of upper respiratory tract but without systemic dissemination. It comprises less than 1% of head and neck malignities. Clinical presentation depends on tumor's effect and its involvement site. Diagnosis is made with histopathologic examination of tissue biopsy. Responses to its treatment with local radiotherapy and surgery are similar. In this article; it is intended to update our knowledge regarding EMP and remind this rarely encountered disease by presenting various cases detected in nasopharynx, tonsil, buccal mucosa, larynx, mastoid cavity and sphenoid sinus, with literature line.

Abstract
Pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor arising from major salivary glands and also has been reported in salivary glands of palate rarely in nasopharynx, oropharynx and larynx and lacrimal glands. We report a case pleomorphic adenoma of nasal septum and discuss the clinical features, management along with review of literature.

Abstract
IgG4 related disease is a rare entity which can affect almost all parts of the body. The available literature of this entity related to paranasal sinuses is very limited. We present a case of isolated sphenoid sinus affliction by IgG4 related sclerosing disease manifesting as blindness, which recovered fully with pulsed steroid therapy. We present this case in view of developing insights toward diagnosis and management of IgG4 related sclerosing disease in paranasal sinuses, specifically the sphenoid sinus. IgG4 disease involving paranasal sinuses (PNS) is rare entity and is managed with pulse methylprednisolone and immunomodulator drugs. Considering the limit of understanding of etiopathogenesis of this disease, surgeon needs to keep this differential diagnosis in mind. It may present atypically like isolated sinus involvement and optic neuritis.IntroductionPresentation of caseDiscussionConclusion
Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cyst: A Rarity

Abstract
Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) was first identified as the rare variant of keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) for its different histopathology and rare recurrence which was reclassified by WHO in 2005. The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst is a distinct clinicopathologic entity and is histologically characterized by a thin, uniform, epithelial lining with orthokeratinization and a subjacent granular cell layer. The basal cells are usually cuboidal or flattened. OOC in maxilla is rare. This article presents a case of 56-years-old male patient with OOC in left maxilla. The clinical, radiographic and histological features of the cyst are discussed in this case report.
Multilevel Surgery in Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the objective and subjective effectiveness of multilevel surgery, i.e. combined lingualplasty with new technique of partial posterior glossectomy (PPG) and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Retrospective study of 60 OSA patients undergoing multilevel surgery for the treatment of moderate to severe OSA. Preoperative mean apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was 57.5 events/h and preoperative mean lowest SpO2 was 79.1%. After multilevel surgery, postoperative mean AHI significantly decreased to 29.7 events/h (p < 0.001) and postoperative mean lowest SpO2 increased to 84.4% (p < 0.001). Patients had postoperative followup assessments for 1 to 3 years. Results of surgery was classified as curative in 35/60 (58.3%) of patients, and as effective, i.e. postoperative AHI less than preoperative AHI in 52/60 patients (86.7 %). Surgery was ineffective in 8/60 (13.3%) patients. Early postoperative complications comprised early velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) 20% (12/60), dysarthria 20% (12/60) and wound dehiscence 3.33% (2/60) but without serious complications after 1 year. Combined lingualplasty (with new PPG) and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) as multilevel surgery can be an effective treatment of choice for patients with moderate to severe OSA. No mediumterm serious complication was found. Apnea hypopnea index, Glossectomy, Lateral pharyngoplasty, Multilevel surgery in obstructive sleep apnea, Obstructive sleep apnea, Uvulopalatoplasty.

Abstract
Lichen planus is an inflammatory pathology which most commonly involves the mucocutaneous junction of oral cavity. It has been reported in many other sites of the body extending from eye to the urogenital system. Diagnosis is achieved combinely with clinical picture and histopathological findings. The treatment mainly involves systemic therapy with corti costeroids and regular periodic follow-up. It is rare but malig nant transformation has been suggested at some sites. However, it is extremely rare in larynx and this case report seems to be the first case presenting with a combination of airway compromise due to laryngeal involvement with presence of cutaneous and oral lesions. The above case report is presented in context of developing insights about etiopathogenesis, clinical features and management of laryngeal lichen planus.
