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.

We describe a case report of a three and a half year old child who was referred to the otolaryngology clinic with two papillomatous projections in her left nostril. The girl was diagnosed as having Hyper IgE syndrome which is a rare immunodeficiency disorder characterized by elevated levels of IgE in blood serum and multiple skeletal, pulmonary and cutaneous manifestations. The tumors in her nose were excised and the final diagnosis was Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma. To our knowledge this is the first report of a toddler with Hyper IgE syndrome and this type of Lymphoma.
