ABSTRACT

A 73-year-old woman having a throat lump sensation and dysphagia for the past several months presented at our otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic. A physical examination disclosed a protruding subepithelial mass over the right tonsil fossa. The mass was not tender and had no mucosal lesions or signs of active infection. Therefore, we arranged face and neck compu ted tomography scans, which reported a solitary osseous lesion over the anterior-right aspect of the C1-2 joint. Considering the rarity and unfamiliar anatomy of this disease, we built a 3D-printed model to assist with the surgical rehearsal of the procedure as well as with a preoperation discussion with the patient and her family. We arranged a combined Otolaryngology-Neurosurgery department approach after discussion with the neurosurgeon and successfully removed the lesion without sacrificing the overlying longus capitis muscle. The pathology examination revealed no evidence of malignancy. The final diagnosis was cervical spine solitary osteochondroma. The patient had a complete recovery of both oral cavity and normal swallowing function. No tumor recurred during the 3-year follow-up. On the basis of this case, in-house 3D-printing technology can offer a rapid, reliable model for an interdisciplinary team to use to enhance personalized presurgical planning, thus providing better p atient engagement during hospitalization.
