IntroductionInfantile myofibroma is a rare tumor of myofibroblastic origin that can affect soft tissue, bones, or internal organs. The aim of the current study is to report a rare case of a solitary infra-orbital infantile myofibroma.
Case presentationAn 11-month-girl presented with progressive swelling of the left infra-ocular region for two weeks. On examination, there was a well-defined swelling with a localized border that was firm, non-mobile, tender, fixed to the underlying bone, and non-adherent to the superficial skin. Under general anesthesia, the right infraorbital mass was excised. The wound was closed by layers, and the histopathological examination revealed a 3 cm myofibroblastic mass that invaded the margins at multiple spots.
ConclusionInfraorbital myofibroma is an extremely rare type of myofibroma. Excision with primary closure is the definitive management therapy.

IntroductionPneumoparotid is a rare condition characterized by the presence of air in the parotid gland, usually caused by the retrograde flow of air through the parotid duct. This report presents a rare occurrence of self-induced pneumoparotid.
Case presentationA-41-year-old female presented with a recurrent painless right-sided parotid gland swelling for one month. She reported covering her mouth with her hands while coughing. Clinical examination revealed a right parotid swelling inferior to her right ear. The mass was non-tender and compressible. The neck and skull base computed tomography with contrast revealed a large thin wall cystic space with small air bubbles in the course of Stenson's duct. The patient underwent conservative management with good outcome.
ConclusionPneumoparotid is an extremely uncommon condition characterized by the presence of air in the parotid gland. Diagnostic imaging techniques such as ultrasound, sialography, or CT scans are valuable in confirming the diagnosis.
