basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus are rare [1–4], while esophageal combined carcinoma is very rare [5]. Most cases of combined carcinoma of the esophagus consist of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma [5]. This is the first report of combined adenoid cystic carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. A ...

Objective To report on the current state of the literature on the genetics of mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinomas of the salivary glands with a focus on genomic screens and recently discovered genetic translocations. Methods A PubMed based literature review was performed to query for genetics related basic science and preclinical studies about mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcin...

Adenoid squamous cell carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma with features of adenoid pattern. It has been reported to originate in the sun- exposed skin of the head and neck region. Although rare, there are cases documented within the oral cavity and nasopharynx. The clinical behaviour and the prognosis are variable. We report a case of adenoid squamous cell carcinoma in a 63-y...

adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon, slow growing malignant salivary gland tumor that is characterized by wide local infiltration, perineural spread, propensity to local recurrence anddistant metastasis. in this paper, the authors present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma affecting the palate and involving the maxillary sinus in a 60‑year‑old male patient along with a brief reviewof litera...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a tumor of exocrine glands originating primarily from the minor and major salivary glands, lacrimal gland, bronchus, breast, and intestinal and genital tracts. Intracranial remote metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma in salivary gland is quite rare. The authors encountered a case of intrasellar remote metastasis from an adenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland o...

BACKGROUND Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a locally aggressive salivary gland neoplasm, which has a poor long-term prognosis. A chromosomal translocation involving the genes encoding the transcription factors, MYB and NFIB, has been recently discovered in these tumors. METHODS MYB translocation and protein expression were studied in 37 adenoid cystic carcinomas, 112 other salivary gland neoplasm...

Objective Pediatric patients with nasal obstruction due to adenoid vegetation (AV) can also encounter allergic rhinitis (AR) as a comorbidity. The aim of the study was to estimate the incidence of mite sensitization and its effect on adenoid size in children who underwent adenoidectomy. Methods This prospective randomized study conducted between August and September 2014 included 84 children....

Introduction Otitis media with effusion is the fluid in the middle ear with no signs or symptoms of acute ear infection. Objective This study aims to research the frequency of serous otitis media in patients referred to the pediatric clinic between 3-16 years of age without any active ear, nose, and throat complaints. Methods This study included 589 children patients (280 boys, 309 girls; mean ...

The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic coblator adenoidectomy compared to cold curettage in paediatric patients. Forty homogeneous children (4-16 years of age) with adenoid hypertrophy were divided in 2 groups to receive adenoidectomy using cold curettage (A) or coblator (B). After surgery the following outcomes were evaluated: pain score on first day, days rep...
