A 42-year-old man presented with a slowly growing anterior neck swelling for 2 years that mimicked a goiter. On examination, the swelling was soft, not compressible, and more prominent with muscle contraction. An ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic neck mass while the thyroid was normal. The final diagnosis was an anterior neck lipoma, which is a very rare condition.

Tinnitus Review
Tinnitus is defined as ringing in the ears without an external sound source, and can manifest as ringing, buzzing, roaring, clicking or hissing. It commonly affects older women and 25-50 million people in the US experience some form of tinnitus. There are two categories - subjective tinnitus, which only the sufferer can hear, and objective tinnitus, which can be detected by a doctor. Potential causes include age, noise exposure, ear injuries, and underlying medical conditions. Treatments focus on masking the phantom sounds through sound therapy or treating any underlying conditions that may be exacerbating the tinnitus.
Labyrinthis
Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear that causes dizziness, hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. The inner ear contains the cochlea, which converts sound into nerve signals, and the vestibule with semicircular canals, which provides balance and positional awareness. When these areas become inflamed, it disrupts signals to the brain causing symptoms. Labyrinthitis is often caused by viral infections but can also result from bacterial infections, head injuries, medications, tumors, or other conditions. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, treating any underlying infection, and vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Nursing care manages risks of falling and impaired mobility through safety measures, slow movement,
Midline swellings of the neck
This document discusses various causes of midline neck swellings, including congenital, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic etiologies. It provides details on specific conditions such as thyroglossal duct cyst, laryngocele, Ludwig's angina, sublingual dermoid cyst, reactive lymphadenopathy, thyroid disorders, and laryngeal malignancy. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, incision and drainage, surgery, radiotherapy, or a combination of therapies.
Swelling
The document discusses various types of cysts and swellings that can occur in the head and neck region. It covers ganglion cysts, calcinosis cutis, bursae (including anatomical bursae like subacromial and olecranon bursitis), adventitious bursae, semimembranosus bursa, branchial cysts and fistulae, pharyngeal pouches, cystic hygromas, and Ludwig's angina. For each condition, it describes the location, clinical features, investigations, complications and treatment.
Week 6 presentation
Mr. Salim, a 62-year-old man, presented with right neck and left groin swelling for 3 months along with 7-8 kg of weight loss. Biopsy revealed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). He was diagnosed with stage IV NHL and treated with rituximab and CHOP chemotherapy. The presentation discusses lymphadenopathy causes, lymphoma types and differences between Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, risk factors, investigations and treatments. Key points include distinguishing reactive from tumoral lymph nodes, indolent versus aggressive NHL subtypes, common genetic abnormalities in lymphomas, and involvement of Epstein-Barr virus in certain malignancies.
neck triangles , swellings and lymphatics
The document discusses the anatomy and pathologies of the neck region. It describes the neck triangles divided by the sternocleidomastoid muscle and various cysts, fistulas, and sinuses that can occur. Specific conditions covered include thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cysts, and carotid body tumors. Lymphatic drainage of the head and neck is also summarized, outlining the superficial, deep, and specific lymph node levels involved.
Head and neck mass
This document discusses the evaluation and diagnosis of head and neck masses. It describes common cysts and tumors that can present as lumps or swellings in the face, neck, and thyroid region. Epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts, lipomas, and parotid diseases are some of the facial masses mentioned. In the neck, lymph nodes, branchial cysts, thyroid lesions, and vascular anomalies may cause lumps. A thorough history, physical exam, and imaging tests like ultrasound and CT are used for diagnosis. Biopsies including fine needle aspiration and excisional biopsies can help determine if a mass is benign or malignant.

It covers thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cleft cysts, cystic hygroma, dermoid cysts, ranula, tuberculosis lymphadenitis, cervical ribs, carotid body tumors, and lymphomas among other conditions. For each, it discusses etiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment.
