Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the paranasal sinus with intracranial extension: imaging features.

Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is often described as a tumour involving the soft tissues of the lower extremities and the paravertebral region. Involvement of the paranasal sinus is a very rare entity. We present a case of primary Ewing's sarcoma of the paranasal sinus extending into the middle cranial fossa in a 40-year-old female. CT and MRI findings of this unusual case are discussed. To our knowledge, this case is the first to be reported with CT and MRI documentation.

Gastric cyst of the oral cavity.

A case of a heterotopic gastric cyst of the oral cavity is described and a review of the literature, with emphasis on the possible etiological theories of this rare lesion, is presented. This developmental lesion is found more commonly in males. It most likely arises from misplaced embryonal tissue. Surgical treatment is the preferred choice of treatment, and CO2 laser is a safe alternative surgical approach for the removal of this lesion.

Acyclovir in the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: a preliminary report.

INTRODUCTION: In this study, we evaluate the effect of acyclovir in the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), in addition to CO2 surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We include 12 patients who had aggressive RRP and required at least three prior endoscopic surgeries in this study. Acyclovir treatment started the day after the surgery. During the planned treatment period of 6 months, patients older than 5 years were asked to take the daily dose of 800 mg, and those younger than 5 years were asked to take 400 mg. RESULTS: Nine of 12 patients were disease free during the follow-up periods, which ranged from 14 to 25 months with a mean of 18 months. Only 3 patients who used the drug inadequately required reoperation. CONCLUSION: Because of the specific viral origin of RRP, we hope that addition of acyclovir to surgery will preclude or at least decrease the number of recurrences in this potentially fatal disease.
