Adenoid facies is a disorder which refers to the open-mouthed face of children who have long faces with adenoid hypertrophy. Hypertrophy of the lymphoid tissues in the throat (the adenoids) is the most common cause of nasal obstruction in children. The mouth is always open because upper airway congestion/narrowing has made patients obligatory mouth breathers. Persistent mouth breathing is seen ...

The aims of this study are to find out the significance of adenoid nasopharyngeal ratio obtained from lateral X-Ray of nasopharynx to decide on the option of surgical treatment of adenoid and to correlate the symptoms with the relative size of adenoid in the nasopharynx. This prospective study was done on 100 children who presented with bilateral nasal obstruction from 412years of age. Radiolog...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix is a rare and aggressive tumor with fatal outcome. In this paper we report two cases of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma and a review of literature. A 80 years old woman, admitted to our hospital with postmenopausal bleeding and hydrorrhea. Gynealogical examination showed a cervical stenotic with the presence of a tumor processus. Biopsy of cervical growth...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the cephalometric pattern of children with and without adenoid obstruction. METHODS The sample comprised 100 children aged between four and 14 years old, both males and females, subjected to cephalometric examination for sagittal and vertical skeletal analysis. The sample also underwent nasofiberendoscopic examination intended to objectively asse...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare neoplasm that constitutes less than one percent of all mammary carcinomas. To date, there have been about 140 cases reported in the literature. It is a rare variant of adenocarcinoma that usually occurs in the salivary glands. In contrast to the aggressive nature of adenoid cystic carcinoma that occurs in the head and neck region, adenoid cystic ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare salivary gland malignant neoplasm. Clinically it represents as an indolent yet a persistent lesion, which shows propensity for late distant metastases, involving vital tissues often leading to the death of the patient. Its innoceous clinical presentation remains a diagnostic challenge. Till date surgery and radiotherapy still remain the main course of tr...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a common malignant neoplasm originated from salivary glands. The clinical and pathological findings typical of this tumor include slow growth, perineural invasion, and potential local recurrence. It accounts for nearly 2% to 4% of head and neck area tumors. In minor salivary glands it usually affects the palate. We described herein the case of a patient who presented...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon tumor usually arising in the head and neck region, mainly in the salivary glands. It demonstrates an indolent prolonged course and is characterized by perineural invasion. Primary treatment of local and locoregional disease consists mainly of surgery and/or irradiation. During follow-up these patients frequently develop local recurrences and distant...

We present 11 cases of ethmoid sinus careinoma treated primarily by transcranial surgical resection and followed 1(1/2) to 7 years. Morbidity and mortality following surgery has proved acceptable. Local disease control and survival prognosis of the patients have been determined primarily by the histopathologic classification of the cancer rather than by invasion of dura or orbit. Good to excell...

A 57-year-old man was admitted to our department 10 years ago, diagnosed with tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma. After discontinuing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the disease recurred in December 2016. Apatinib mesylate (500 mg/day) was administered and computed tomography revealed that his symptoms were significantly relieved. Treatment with apatinib mesylate represents a novel method of trea...
