Tuberculosis presenting as a laryngeal tumour.

As the prevalence of tuberculosis in the U.K. increases, uncommon clinical presentations of the disease may be encountered by the otolaryngologist. We describe just such a case, where a caucasian patient presented with laryngeal lesion, considered to be highly suspicious of a neoplastic process rather than an infective one. We discuss the pathogenesis of tuberculous laryngitis, and review the differential diagnosis and management of the condition.

Cranio-facial fibro-osseous dysplasia. A case report and overview of the management of the condition.

Fibro-osseous dysplasia is a developmental non familial, benign anomaly of bone development occurring in single or multiple bones, characterised by the replacement of normal bone by fibro-osseous tissue. We describe the case of a fourteen year old boy, which illustrates many of the difficulties confronting surgeons dealing with this uncommon condition. Complete surgical excision was required, before a definitive histological diagnosis could be established. We report the clinical, radiological and pathological features of this unusual case. We review the pathology of the condition and discuss the approaches to surgical management.
