Abstract
IJPORL Extra Abstracts IJPORL Extra is the online companion publication to the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology. IJPORL Extra publishes case reports which have an important educational value but cannot be published in the printed journal due to lack of space. Case reports published in the Extra will be peer reviewed in the usual way and can be cited through digital object identifiers (DOI), as can articles published in the printed edition of the regular Journal. These DOIs are published at the foot of each article. Some abstracting and indexing services, such as Medline, do not currently include such publications in their database. For this reason we have decided to include the abstracts of articles published in Extra in the printed edition of the journal. IJPORL Extra is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com/ science/journal/18714048 on a complementary basis for entitled institutions subscribing electronically to the regular journal, and on an article pay-per-view basis for others. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0165-5876(13)00141-9

completely and was confirmed to be a lymphangioma pathologically. Here, we report this rare lymphangioma originating from the posterior aspect of the auricle with a literature review. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijporl.2012.02.074

Enterobious vermicularis is the most common nematode that infects humans. The location of infestation is often localized to the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts. It inhabits the intestinal lumen, but it was observed that ectopic infections were rarely documented. This study presents a rare case of E. vermicularis pin worm granuloma at the neck; this is the first reported case to the best of our knowledge from our search in the literature. The patient was a boy presented with a one-year history of multiple cervical lymphadenopathy with prominent unilateral submandibular swelling. Multiple investigations, including fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), serial full blood count and full blood picture, and computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck were done to rule out causes of swelling. However, our final diagnosis after excision of the prominent submandibular swelling came back as E. vermicularis granuloma of the neck. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijporl.2012.02.075
Lymphangioma has been known to develop in head and neck region. However, lymphangiomas origin from the auricular region is extremely rare, and has been reported only once in the English literature. Here, we introduce a case of large lymphangioma that originated from the posterior aspect of the auricle. An 18-month-old boy visited our hospital with a palpable mass growing on the posterior aspect of the auricle from the age of 6 months. Radiological studies showed a lobulated mass on the superoposterior aspect of the right ear, which was thought to be a hemangiolymphamgioma. As hemangiomas usually regress spontaneously, we observed this mass closely for about 1 year. There was no noticeable regression of the mass, which appeared multi-septated in imaging studies. We decided to excise the mass rather than perform sclerotherapy. The multilobulated mass, originating from the posterior aspect of the auricle extending to the anterior parotid area, was excised
