Osseous choristoma is a rare, benign proliferative osseous lesion, which is defined as the growth of normal tissue in an abnormal location. The etiopathogenesis for its formation is unknown, but various hypotheses have been proposed. Treatment of choice is en-bloc resection, and no recurrence has been reported. Here, we report the two cases of osseous choristoma, presented with a mass on the base of the tongue with/without globus symptom and were treated with surgical excision.

Killian-Jamieson and Zenker diverticula are both rare pharyngoesophageal diverticula. Both are outpouching of the mucosal and submucosal layers of the esophageal wall, which protrude through a mucosal gap at the level of the pharyngoesophageal esophagus. When these diverticula are large enough, they can be in proximity to the thyroid gland and may mimic a thyroid nodule. We report a case in which a diverticulum was filled with dietary residue and thus simulated a thyroid cyst on CT scan. And it was finally diagnosed as a Killian-Jamieson diverticulum by the surgery.

근육내 혈관종은 주로 몸통과 사지에 발생하며, 두경부 영역에서의 발생은 드문 것으로 알려졌다. 저자들은 교근에서 발생한 2예의 근육내 혈관종을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 임상의사들은 특별한 원인 없이 진행되는 이하선 부위의 종창을 주소로 내원하였을 때, 교근에서 발생한 근육내 혈관종의 가능성도 염두 해두어야 한다.

Schwannoma is a slow-growing benign tumor of neurogenic origin. The lesion is derived from the Schwann cells surrounding neural tissue. It can grow in almost all regions of the body. Schwannoma of the external auditory canal is a rare finding. Recently, we experienced schwannoma of the external auditory canal of a 29-year-old female who had surgical removal completely and verified histopathologically as schwannoma.

Cervical emphysema and Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is an uncommon disease. Cervical emphysema is mainly caused by trauma or head and neck surgery. Here, we report a case of cervical emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a 15-year-old man. This case emphasizes that cervical swelling patients with negative inflammation findings should be scrutinized for cervical emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum.

Myoepithelioma is composed predominantly or exclusively of myoepithelial cells. It is most frequently located in parotid gland, the palate and the breasts. It accounts for less than l% of all salivary gland tumors. Surgical excision which accompany a marginal amount of uninvolved tissue is curative. We report a case of parotid gland myoepithelioma treated by surgery.

Schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath tumor that is composed entirely of well differentiated Schwann cells. They are frequently located in the soft tissue of head and neck region, but only a 1% of them are located in the oral cavity. Schwannoma arising in the soft palate is extremely rare. We present a case of a soft palate schwannoma and report this case with a literature review.

Pneumoparotid is a rare cause of parotid gland swelling, and is caused by retrograde air reflux from the oral cavity, into the parotid gland via Stensen's duct. Most patients complained of painless swelling in the parotid region. Herein, we report a rare case of pneumoparotid, incidentally diagnosed without symptoms on CT, for follow-up of parotid lymph node enlargement.

Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a rare malignant neoplasm that occasionally occurs in the large intestine (colon), followed by the pancreas, ovary, lung, prostate, and breast. It is characterized by large amounts of extracellular epithelial mucin that contains tumor cell nests. We herein present a unique case of MAC originating from minor salivary gland, the second to be reported in literature in South Korea. We report a case of MAC in the tongue considered to be developed from minor salivary gland with a review of literature.

Primary laryngeal candidiasis is rare in immunocompetent patients and is prone to confusion with early glottic carcinoma or leukemia. We experienced a case of 74-year-old man who has 3- month history of hoarseness. The pathologic diagnosis was laryngeal candidiasis. He was treated with antifungal agents for 4 weeks after vocal cord stripping under general anesthesia. After treatment, the patient had no candidiasis or discomfort with his voice. We report this case with a review of literature.
