Otitis media: A prospective study in Central India

Ear lobe crease: incidence in a healthy Malay population.
Amol Sharad Dharap, Hari Shankar Sharma, and Myo Than
Schweizerbart
The incidence of ear lobe crease (ELC) was studied in 1576 healthy Malay subjects (566 males and 1010 females), randomly selected from the residents of Kota Bharu, Malaysia. ELC was present in 31.1% of males and in 3.6% of females; this difference in incidence between the two sexes is statistically significant (p > 0.05). In males the incidence of Type I crease was highest (10.1%) while that of Type III crease was lowest (2.3%). In females Type II crease showed the highest incidence (1.9%) and Type III the lowest. The incidence of bilateral presence of all three types of ELC showed an age-related increase in males. The ELC often starts unilaterally and later develops bilaterally and earlier in males than in females.

Kimura's disease: a report of three cases with a brief review of literature.

Malignant paraganglioma of frontoethmoidal region
Hari Shankar Sharma, M Madhavan, Nor Hayati Othman, Mahayidin Muhamad, and Jafri Malin Abdullah
Elsevier BV
Nonchromaffin paragangliomas are unusual tumours arising from widely distributed paraganglionic tissues probably of neural crest origin. In the head and neck region they are usually seen as carotid body or jugulotympanic tumours. Other rarely reported sites in the head and neck region are the orbit, nose and larynx. This report deals with a case of sinonasal paraganglioma which was initially treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Twenty two years later the tumour recurred and showed a rapid growth due to malignant transformation which we believe is late effect of radiotherapy. The clinical features, histopathology and role of radiotherapy in sinonasal paragangliomas together with a review of the medical literature have been discussed.

Orbital abscess due to acute ethmoiditis in a neonate
S.C. Reddy, H.S. Sharma, A.S. Mazidah, H.K. Darnal, and M. Mahayidin
Elsevier BV
Orbital complications due to ethmoiditis are not uncommon in children. However, they are very rare in infants. A case of orbital abscess due to acute ethmoiditis in a 10 days old boy is reported. Causative microorganisms isolated from the operated specimen were Staphylococcus aureus and aspergillosis. Successful outcome was achieved following antimicrobial therapy, external ethmoidectomy, and surgical drainage of the abscess. The aetiopathogenesis and management of this clinical entity is discussed, with a brief review of the literature.

Management of laryngeal foreign bodies in children
H S Sharma and S Sharma
BMJ
Foreign body aspiration is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children. Food items are the most common items aspirated in infants and toddlers, whereas older children are more likely to aspirate non-food items. Laryngeal impaction of a foreign body is very rare as most aspirated foreign bodies pass through the laryngeal inlet and get lodged lower down in the airway. Two rare cases of foreign body aspiration with subglottic impaction in very young children (under 2 years of age) are described. In both the cases subglottic impaction occurred consequent to attempted removal of foreign body by blind finger sweeping. The clinical presentation, investigations, and management of these rare cases are discussed.

Retropharyngeal abscess: Recent trends
Hari Shankar Sharma, Daya Nath Kurl, and Mohamad Hamzah
Elsevier BV
Retropharyngeal abscess (RPA) is relatively rare today. A study of 17 cases of RPA treated at our hospital in the past 10 years showed a shift in the disease from children below 6 years of age (41%) to older children and adults (58%). Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) was found to be the commonest (52%) aetiological predisposing factor in all age groups. Other aetiological factors were septicaemia (11%) in children below the age of 6 years and trauma due to foreign body (35%) in the older children and adult age groups. Klebsiella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus were the commonest species of microorganisms grown from pus. The changing clinical trends, microbiology, choice of antibiotics, usefulness of radiology, and complications of this potentially fatal illness are discussed.

Tuberculoid granulomatous lesion of the pharynx - Review of the literature
Hari Shankar Sharma, Daya Nath Kurl, and Meor Zamari Meor Kamal
Elsevier BV
Pharyngeal involvement in tuberculosis is rare and is usually secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. We report a very rare case of chronic granulomatous pharyngitis, which later turned out to be due to primary tuberculosis of the pharynx. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and complications of this rare clinical entity are presented.

Teratocarcinosarcoma of the nasal cavity and ethmoid
Hari Shankar Sharma, Jafri Malin Abdullah, Nor Hayati Othman, and Mahayidin Muhamad
Cambridge University Press (CUP)
AbstractSinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma is very unusual malignant neoplasm histologically consisting of an epithelial element and one or more mesenchymal components. This is a report of teratocarcinosarcoma, in a 74-year-old male, involving the right nasal cavity and ethmoids with intracranial extension. The tumour was totally resected via the craniofacial approach and the patient was given post-operative chemotherapy. Extensive tumour necrosis, rapid growth and local destruction are the prominent features of this tumour. The clinical presentation, pathological features and clinical course of this rare malignancy are discussed with a review of the literature.

Antrochoanal polyp-a rare paediatric emergency
Hari Shankar Sharma and Ahmad Ramadzan Ahmad Daud
Elsevier BV
An antrochoanal polyp, a common clinical entity, with a rare presentation is being reported. A 12 year old boy was brought to Accident and Emergency department with an unusual sudden presentation of polypoidal mass filling the oral cavity up to his incisors as a result of which he could not swallow and speak. Prior to this episode he had no complaints of the disease. An emergency removal was planned and only during the operation could it be diagnosed as a antrochoanal polyp because of its pedicle in the lateral wall of the nose, which was confirmed by histopathological examination.

Fourth branchial pouch cyst: An unusual cause of neonatal stridor
Hari Shankar Sharma, Abdul Razif, Mohamad Hamzah, Amol Sharad Dharap, Zahari Mahbar, Meor Zamari Meor Kamal, Abdul Wahab Jantan, and Yan Naing Htun
Elsevier BV
Fourth branchial pouch anomalies are extremely rare and only a few such cases showing sinuses and cystic masses have been reported in the literature. We describe a patient who presented on the third day of life with cystic neck swelling of fourth branchial pouch origin giving rise to respiratory obstruction and stridor. Despite repeated aspiration of the cystic mass to relieve respiratory obstruction, rapid recurrence of the mass continued to cause stridor and ultimately required surgical excision. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of this unusual condition are discussed with a review of the literature.

Metastatic osteosarcoma of the ethmoid: An unusual cause of recurrent epistaxis and proptosis
H. S. Sharma, S. C. Reddy, Abdul Mohamad, M. Z. Meor Kamal, and Dinesh Halder
Cambridge University Press (CUP)
AbstractOsteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of bone and it usually metastasises to the lung. In the nasal cavity metastatic disease is extremely rare. We describe a case of osteosarcoma presenting with recurrent epistaxis, and proptosis due to secondaries in the nasal cavity. To our knowledge such a case has not been reported previously in the available English literature.

Pathology in Focus Eccrine cylindroma of the ear canal-report of a case
H. S. Sharma, M. Z. Meorkamal, H. Zainol, and A. S. Dharap
Cambridge University Press (CUP)
AbstractEccrine cylindroma is a benign tumour arising from sweat glands in the skin. It favours the face, forehead and scalp involving the turban area and hence is called a turban tumour. Amongst a variety of tumours originating from adnexal skin structures, which may appear in the ear canal, eccrine cylindroma forms a very rare entity. We present such a case and discuss its pathological and clinical features.

Dementia associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of larynx

Cambridge University Press (CUP)

Carcinoid tumour of larynx
H. S. Sharma, N. Majumder, V. Srinivas and S. Gopalakrishnan

Rarity of the carcinoid tumours in the larynx prompted us to report this case which has been successfully treated by partial laryngectomy. Oncogenesis of these tumours, mode of treatment and prognosis have been discussed.
