purpose : to present a case of missed intraorbital wooden foreign body presented as soft tissue mass case report : we introduce a case of intraorbital wooden foreign body which presented with orbital soft tissue mass two years after trauma. a plain ct was requested which revealed a foreign body in the right orbit.conclusion : it is frequently difficult to identify and localize organic intraorbi...

Background:   Although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. Because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.The purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...

  Periarticular cyst and cystic soft tissue lesion around the knee are common. Synovial sarcoma is a rare and malignant soft tissue tumor accounting for approximately 5% of soft tissue sarcoma. A case is presented where a lesion adjacent to the joint line of the knee was diagnosed clinically and on imaging as a meniscal cyst. MRI signal was homogenous and no concomitant meniscal tears were seen...

An aesthetically pleasing and balanced face is one of the objectives of orthodontic treatment. An understanding of the soft tissues and their normal ranges enables a treatment plan to be formulated to normalize the facial traits for a given individual. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variables defining the soft tissue facial profile of a Croatian (Caucasian) sample, by means of angula...

One of the most important components of orthodontic diagnosis is the evaluation of the patient's soft tissue profile. There have been many attempts to quantify the soft tissue profile based on the lateral cephalogram. Yet, the methodology used to evaluate the profile varies widely among studies, and there has been no consistency in the way straight lines are constructed in the analysis of the s...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the soft tissue profile "line drawings" predicted by Quick Ceph Image in combined maxillary and mandibular orthognathic surgical procedures. Preoperative (mean = 27.7 days presurgical) and posttreatment (mean = 11.5 months postsurgical) lateral cephalograms of 40 white patients (10 males and 30 females) who had completed treatment that i...

Distraction osteogenesis is extensively used for the elongation of hypoplastic mandibles in children, yet the soft tissue profile response to this is not well understood. The pre- and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 27 pediatric patients who underwent bilateral mandibular elongation using distraction osteogenesis were analyzed retrospectively to correlate horizontal soft tiss...
