RATIONALE Tongue metastasis from lung cancer is extremely rare, and the prognosis of these patients is rather poor. PATIENT CONCERS A 56-year-old man was found a 4-cm cavity lesion in the left upper lobe, which was initially misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. DIAGNOSES A case of lung squamous cell carcinoma that metastasized to the base of a patient's tongue. INTERVATIONS We send the biopsy of...
BACKGROUND Recognition of the difficult airway is a critical element of emergency practice. Mallampati score and body mass index (BMI) are not always predictive and they may be unavailable in critically ill patients. Ultrasonography provides high-resolution images that are rapidly obtainable, mobile, and non-invasive. Studies have shown correlation of ultrasound measurements with difficult lary...
Tonsillar cancer incidence has been increasing in Sweden and many other western countries in the last decades despite that other head and neck cancers are decreasing. It is now established that Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can be accredited part of that increase. The aims of this thesis were to investigate any change in incidence of base of tongue cancer, any further increase of tonsillar cancer ...
OBJECTIVES This study aims to identify the contribution of the cephalometric investigation in the soft tissue evaluation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). PATIENTS AND METHODS The clininical data of 300 patients (191 males, 109 females; mean age 48.3±9.9 years; range 24 to 76 years) diagnosed with OSAS in our clinic between January 2009 and May 2010 were retrospectivel...
Lingual thyroid is defined as an ectopic thyroid gland tissue located in the midline of the tongue base and it is uncommonly observed in clinical practice and is rare in children. This paper describes the surgical treatment of ectopic thyroid at the base of the tongue in a child. The chief complaint of the 12-year-old, melanodermic female patient was the difficulty to swallow for 15 days. The i...
We demonstrate a rare case of lingual thyroid together with squamous cell carcinoma of the base of tongue. 54-year-old patient presented with left sided lymph node enlargement in regions II, III and IV without any clinical symptoms. Physical examination revealed semicircular bulge at the base of tongue measuring 30 x 20 mm and tumorous lesion was suspected. Neck ultrasound showed pathological e...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the safety and feasibility of the da Vinci Surgical System in transoral robotic-assisted surgery for benign indications. STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, single-arm, retrospective case series. METHODS Perioperative outcomes were recorded for patients presenting with obstructive sleep apnea, airway obstruction, lingual tonsillar/tonsillar/tongue base hypertrophy,...
Objective Determine the effects of hyoid myotomy and suspension (HMS) without concurrent palatal or tongue base sleep surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Method Patients with OSA treated with HMS were identified using CPT code (21685) at an academic and private sleep surgery clinic. Those who underwent concurrent palatal or tongue base sleep surgery were excluded. Outcomes included sim...
Increased upper airway collapsibility has been suspected of being involved in the pathogenesis of sleep-related diseases. It is assumed that patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) show a stronger collapse of the upper airway compared with habitual snorers. It was the objective of this study to analyze the patterns of upper airway collapse in habitual snorers and patients w...
