Malignant External Otitis (MEO) and Acute External Otitis (AEO) are clinically very similar in their beginnings. It is important to differentiate between them very early. Bone scanning is the best diagnostic tool. Eight cases of AEO and MEO are herewith presented.
A case of synchronous bilateral oncocytoma arising in the parotid salivary gland is presented and the literature is reviewed. The oncocytoma forms a small group of neoplastic diseases in the parotid gland and synchronous bilateral tumors are relatively rare. According to the available literature this is the fourth case reported.
A 4½-year-old girl presenting characteristics of Waardenburg’s syndrome with associated multiple defects is described. The patient presents all the obvious signs of the syndrome with the exception of the white forelock (poliosis), but with additional anomalies like: syndactyly, absence of the fourth left toe, bilateral preauricular sinus and dacrocystitis. It is the second case of Waardenburg’s syndrome reported by us during the last 20 years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
