adenoid cystic carcinoma is an uncommon, slow growing malignant salivary gland tumor that is characterized by wide local infiltration, perineural spread, propensity to local recurrence anddistant metastasis. in this paper, the authors present a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma affecting the palate and involving the maxillary sinus in a 60‑year‑old male patient along with a brief reviewof litera...

Introduction:Most metastatic lymph nodes from head and neck malignancy are solid. Cystic nodes are found in 33% - 61% of carcinomas arise from Waldeyer’s ring, of which only 1.8% - 8% originate are from the nasopharynx. Some cystic cervical metastases were initially presumed to be branchial cleft cyst. This case report aims to highlight the unusual presentation of cystic cervical metastasis sec...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a bone mineralisation disorder occurring in about one third of adults with cystic fibrosis. Bisphosphonates can increase bone mineral density and decrease the risk of new fractures in post-menopausal women and people receiving long-term oral corticosteroids. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of bisphosphonates on the frequency of fractures, bone mineral density, qual...

We report a case of hemophilic pseudotumor in the ulna of a 6-year-old boy treated with radiation therapy. A total dose of 900 cGy in 6 fractions was given in 6 consecutive days. Progression of cystic changes was halted within a month. New bone formation and trabeculation were found on the 4th month. Complete healing of the lesion and bony replacement were found on the 12th month. The patient w...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to compare simple radiographic findings and clinical results according to residual ulnar variance following ulnar shortening for ulnar impaction syndrome. METHODS Forty-five cases of ulnar impaction syndrome, which were treated with ulnar shortening from 2005 to 2008, were studied retrospectively. Group I included 13 cases with positive residual variance ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebellar hemangioblastomas (HBs) are traditionally classified into different morphologic types: cystic and solid. We have observed the progression from solid to cystic and have reviewed the cases seen at the regional von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) clinic to document the frequency of this progression. METHODS A retrospective review of the notes and images of all patients with...

Ever since the beginning of laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, in 1985 by Erich Mühe in Germany followed by Harry Reich and Eddie Joe Reddick an American in 1989, the technique has seen many areas of refinements. Initially popularized techniques were turned down by the pioneers on the account of incredible and awful complications substantiated by controlled trials. The dissection of the cystic pedic...

Introduction: A hydatid cyst of the head and neck is a very rare condition, even in areas where Echinococcus infestation is endemic.   Case Report: We report a rare case of primary hydatid cyst of the right maxillary sinus in a 40-year-old man. The initial diagnosis of the presence of a cystic mass was the result of physical examination and computed tomography (CT) scan. We resected the cystic ...

background and objectives: cystic fibrosis (cf) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.  infections in these patients gene.are  mostly  caused  by  three  bacteria:  staphylococcus  aureus ,  haemophilus  influenza and  particularly  pseudomonas aeruginosa .  carbapenems including antibiotics are used to combat infections with pseudomonas aeruginosa . in recent years, carbapenems resistant s...

background cystic fibrosis is a complex progressive disease which assessing its progression and severity is essential. for this purpose there are scoring systems available to evaluate the disease severity. objectives the aim of the present study was to determine the clinical status of cf patients using shwachman score system in the pediatric pulmonary ward of masih daneshvari hospital. patients...
