Adenoid diseases include acute adenoiditis, recurrent acute adenoiditis, chronic adenoiditis, and obstructive adenoid hyperplasia. The latter, that constitutes a triad of symptoms including chronic nasal obstruction (with snoring and obligate oral breathing), nasal discharge, and nasal intonation of voice, is the most common cause necessitating surgical intervention. Differentiating adenoid inf...

Abstract Background Many nasal pathological findings have been described with antrochoanal polyp (ACP). We aimed in this study to assess the prevalence of adenoid hypertrophy among children presented ACP and evaluate efficacy concomitant adenoidectomy on outcome endoscopic removal lesion. Results Forty-three were included study. Preoperative endoscopy computed tomography performed for all patie...

BACKGROUND High-grade transformation or dedifferentiation in carcinoma is progression of a low-grade malignant neoplasm to a high-grade carcinoma or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. This is rarely observed in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands. CASE REPORT A 39 year-old woman presented with a painless mass at the left submandibulary region that had been growing slowly for 5 ...

INTRODUCTION Otitis media with effusion (OME) and hypertrophy adenoid (AH) are still common diseases during childhood. Adenoid has particular meaning in develop of immunological answer to inflammation in upper respiratory inclusive middle ear. The CD62L lymphocyte adhesion molecule plays an important role in controlling lymphocyte extravasations into adenoid and at sites of tissue infection. Th...

AIM to obtain the OSAS prevalence and risk factors of OSAS in obese early adolescents and to create a scoring system based on risk factors for diagnosing OSAS. METHODS an observational study in Jakarta, November 2007 until December 2008 on obese adolescents aged 10-12 years with snoring. Subjects underwent clinical examination, lung function test, paranasal sinus X-ray, and polisomnography. M...

Adenoid basal tumors are uncommon cervical lesions that some pathologists consider invasive carcinomas but others consider "epitheliomas" due to their low-grade histological appearance and rarely documented malignant behavior. We report the clinicopathologic features of 10 tumors comprised of both typical low-grade adenoid basal tumors (epitheliomas) intimately associated with invasive carcinom...

We retrospectively reviewed published reports, using PubMed, from 1966 to 2006. The keywords used for the search included ‘adenoid cystic’, ‘adenoid cystic-like’, ‘basaloid’ and ‘basal cell carcinoma’ of the prostate. All languages were included in the search. Available clinical information, management, outcome and follow-up data were abstracted. The clinicopathological and immunohistochemical ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm arising from the salivary glands. The most striking feature of this tumor is that it is locally aggressive, with perineural invasion, tendency to metastasize, high recurrence rates. The parotid gland is the most commonly affected site in the head and neck region, tongue being relatively rare. The current study presents a rare case of 6 years old ...
