To analyze changes in the soft tissue profile associated with an inverted L osteotomy, preoperative, early postoperative, and late postoperative lateral cephalographs of 13 children with craniofacial microsomia (mean age 9 +/- 2 years) were scanned, and 11 soft tissue landmarks were digitized (digitization errors insignificant; P > 0.05). Cephalometry, Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA),...

  Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that is characterized with noncaseating granulomatous nodules which present in multiple organs specially lungs (90%) . Incidence of masses due to Sarcoidosis in upper extremity is low and most cases present in association with involvement of pulmonary hilary lymph nodes. In this article we present a rare case of Sarcoidosis which presented as a single soft ti...

A 12-year-old girl was visited at our clinic with multiple soft tissue and bony painless swellings over her right hand since she was 2 years old (Figure 1). Soft tissue masses increased in size and number. She was born to non-consanguineous parents. Her early development was normal and she had no other medical problems. There was no family history of similar problem. Examination revealed multip...

abstract: objective: giant cell tumor of soft parts is a rare neoplasm that mainly affects adulst and the elderly and is usually located in the extremities. here we report a child with giant cell tumor of soft tissue, which is a very rare condition in childhood. clinical presentation: a 5 year old girl presented with a 5 month history of left lower extremity pain. she had developed paraplegia b...

background and aims. there are many edentulous people with severely resorbed residual ridges and non-resilient lining mucosa that are unable to tolerate occlusal forces during functional and parafunctional movements. lining the tissue surface of dentures with a flexible material can theoretically distribute and absorb forces with cushioning effect. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effe...

multiple primary tumors in a single patient are relatively rare when four or more distinct lesions are considered. herein, we report a case of woman with four different primary tumors: meningioma, renal angiomyolipoma, spinal ependymoma and high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. there was no family history and hereditary syndrome. the genetic analysis was completely normal. to best of our knowledge, t...

Introduction: Fishbone is the most common foreign body found in the oropharynx. Conventionally patients with suspected fishbone in the throat would have mirror laryngoscopy followed by lateral soft tissue X-ray to look for the fishbone or observe impacts caused by the fishbone i.e. soft tissue swelling or air in upper esophagus. However, the most common site of fishbone impact is the suprahyoid...

Background: Laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). The tensile strength of radiated tissue by LLLT is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation.Objective: In this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic ti...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Most of the soft tissue calcifications within the head and neck region might not be accompanied by clinical symptoms but may indicate some pathological conditions. PURPOSE The aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of mandibular region. MATERIALS AND METHOD In this cross secti...
