Epithelioma of Soft Palate Treated by Radium

Leiomyosarcoma of the soft palate.

Tumors of the smooth muscles are rarely seen, as the number of smooth muscles is low within the intraoral region. Leiomyosarcoma is a type of malign tumor originating from smooth muscles. The most common regions of leiomyosarcoma of the oral cavity are the maxilla and mandible. In this article, we present a leiomyosarcoma detected in a 20-year-old male patient who was admitted to the clinic wit...

Notes on Cases Treated with Radium

Surface ultrastructure of human soft palate epithelium.

Die oppervlak van klinies gesonde sagte verhemelte epiteel monsters is deur middel van die skandeeren transmissie-elektronmikroskoop ondersoek. Die voorkoms van die oppervlak van die ongekeratiniseerde epi­ teel, soos onder die transmissie-elektronmikroskoop gesien, is met talle mikroplikasies wat ooreenstem met mikrohaartjies oortrek, en is bes moontlik die oorblyfsels van sel interdigiterings.

Giant Myoepithelioma of the Soft Palate

Myoepitheliomas are benign salivary gland tumors and account for less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. They are usually located in the parotid gland. The soft palate is very rare affected site. The differential diagnosis of myoepitheliomas should include reactive and neoplastic lesions. The treatment of myoepitheliomas is complete removal of the tumor. Herein, we report a case with giant m...

Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate

Neurofibroma of the soft palate is an unusual tumor and probably only two cases have been reported in English literature previously. Solitary isolated neurofibroma of the soft palate not associated with von Recklinghausen's disease is even more infrequent. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the third reported in English literature. Complete surgical excision was achieved after t...
