parotid stafne bone defect is a very rare and infrequent variant, which is located on the buccal or lingual surface of the mandibular ascending ramus. in this paper, a case of parotid stafne defect, which was incidentally discovered during dental radiographic examination, is reported. this bone defect was observed as a lucent oval-shaped defect on the lingual aspect of the right mandibular ramu...

BACKGROUND Recognized prognostic indicators for metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck include facial nerve involvement, immune status, and "parotid" staging system (P-stage). We sought to examine the impact of lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) on prognosis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 160 patients with metastatic cutaneous SCC to the...

1.1 Cutaneous sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatosis disease of unknown etiology, characterized pathologically by noncaseating granulomas in involved tissues1,2. It mainly involves the lungs but may also be associated with systemic manifestations3. The disease most commonly affects the lungs, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, phalangeal bones, parotid glands, eyes, and skin4. Skin in...

PurposeFor patients without pathological evidence of cervical disease after neck dissection for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma involving the parotid region, inclusion ipsilateral in post-parotidectomy radiation volume is routinely performed. We report our experience with selective avoidance undergoing postoperative to bed.Methods and MaterialsFrom January 2014 December 2023, a total 30 conse...

A-13-year-old girl presented with diabetic ketoacidosis with convincing clinical signs of parotitis (fever, drooling of saliva, inability to swallow with development of bilateral parotid swelling) and pancreatitis (fever, abdominal pain and vomiting), along with high serum amylase and positive mumps IgM titer. This suggests that mumps virus may have been the causative factor, probably as a resu...

We report a case of miliary sarcoidosis with secondary Sjogren's in a 45-year-old male who presented with symptoms of sicca syndrome in the form of dryness of eyes and mouth with parotid swelling. Computed tomography thorax showed mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy, bilateral miliary opacities in lung parenchyma. Whole body FDG PET/CT showed involvement of both parotids, liver, diffuse uptak...

Introduction Parotid gland squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. Aural polyps are usually the presenting features of chronic suppurative otitis media, tuberculous otitis media, and adenoma or carcinoma. The malignant aural polyp is very rare. Parotid gland carcinoma masquerading as an aural polyp has rarely been described in the literature. ...

Salivary gland tumours are relatively uncommon and most of the tumours arise from parotid gland. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is advised preoperatively as diagnostic tool but sometimes found to shown both false positive and false negative results. This study was aimed to find out distribution of neoplasm of major salivary glands and also to explore the sensitivity and specificity of F...
