Abstract Background Pancreatic serous cystadenoma (SCA) is a benign, cystic lesion with an indolent growth pattern. Complications such as spontaneous hemorrhage or malignant transformation from SCA are extremely rare. Our case report describes unusual presentation of patient previously diagnosed SCA, made unique by the presence three separate neoplasms in final specimen. Case A 74-year-old male...

BACKGROUND Salivary carcinomas are a rare group of biologically diverse neoplasms affecting the head and neck. The wide array of different histological entities and clinical presentations has historically limited attempts to establish well-defined treatment algorithms. In general, low-risk lesions can be managed with a single treatment modality, whereas advanced lesions require a more complex, ...

Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare benign vascular neoplasms. IMH accounts for less than 1% of all hemangiomas. These neoplasms commonly occur in trunk and extremities but are rare in head and neck region. The present case is a 17-year-old female patient, who presented with a painless, slowly enlarging mass in left sided upper neck for 4 years. Investigations were suggestive of vascular neoplas...

S19 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 2.7 ± 1.7 cm. Most patients were asymptomatic. The type of cystic lesions was intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN; n = 35), serous cystadenoma (n = 18), mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN; n = 12), solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN; n = 9), cystic degeneration of other tumors (n = 4), simple cyst (n = 4), infec...

Teratomas are neoplasms derived from the germ cell with components of all the three embryonic layers. These are rare neoplasms in head and neck region which can occur in any age group but are more prevalent in children. The present case is an 11-year-old girl who was brought with history of painless and progressive swelling in the oropharynx for 3 years with the associated left sided nasal bloc...

The clinical evaluation of salivary gland tumors requires the physician to rely heavily on previous experience, a thorough knowledge of head and neck anatomy, and an understanding of the biologic behavior of the numerous histologically varied tumors that can occur in this system of glands. Historically, the salivary gland neoplasms were vaguely classified until Foote and Frazell presented their...

S19 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 2.7 ± 1.7 cm. Most patients were asymptomatic. The type of cystic lesions was intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN; n = 35), serous cystadenoma (n = 18), mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN; n = 12), solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN; n = 9), cystic degeneration of other tumors (n = 4), simple cyst (n = 4), infec...

Basal cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of the skin and most common human cancer. It generally associated with good prognosis. In this case report, giant basal nodulo-ulcerative type showing wide ulceration marginal multiple small nodules, presented. was trapezoidal in shape, having dimensions 7 cm at greatest width, 6 vertically different anterior posterior margin dimensions, 5...

Introduction Xerostomia is one of side-effects of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. No definitive method has been proposed for the treatment of this condition. However, pilocarpine is considered effective for the management of chronic xerostomia. The purpose of the present study was to assess the preventive effect of pilocarpine. Materials and Methods This study was performed on 34 patien...
