As diving ranula and cystic hygroma are managed with different surgical approaches, avoidance of this pitfall is critical. Our purpose was to r...

Choristomas are benign tumours that are formed during the embryonic development from the tissues we do not normally expect to be there.

متن کاملDiffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in neck lymph adenopathy
In patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), nodal metastases are an adverse prognostic factor compromising long term patient survival. Therefore, accurate detection of regional nodal metastases is required for optimization of treatment. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remain the primary imaging modalities for locoregional staging of head and neck ...
