introduction: deep neck space infections (dnsi) are serious diseases that involve several spaces in the neck. the common primary sources of dnsi are dental infections, tonsillar and salivary gland infections, malignancies, and foreign bodies. with widespread use of antibiotics, the prevalence of dnsi has been reduced. common complications of dnsi include airway obstruction, jugular vein thrombo...

In most hospitals, making a microscopic examination to tonsil and adenoid specimens from pediatric patients who present recurrent infections has become a standard practice. However, studies have shown that systematic examination of tonsils and adenoids was not needed for individual aged 21 or less. In this context, we describe the third report of an unsuspected tonsillar sarcoidosis revealed by...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most common histological malignant salivary gland tumors, it frequently diagnosed in parotid gland. MEC also intra oral minor glands. Only a few cases tonsillar have been reported. We present rare case mucoepidermoid arising from left pharyngeal tonsil. This report shows that important to perform tonsillectomy when discovering neck metastasis tumors ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the transoral anatomy of the tonsillar fossa and lateral pharyngeal wall and to correlate these findings with radiographic measurements and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) of patients with early tonsillar tumor. STUDY DESIGN Preclinical cadaveric study and patient cohort. METHODS Six complete cadaveric dissections were performed to identify key anatomic la...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis of a bidirectional association of anogenital and oral cavity/pharyngeal human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers in men. DESIGN Population-based epidemiological study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer database. SETTING Population-based cancer study involving patients receiving care in the United States. PARTICIPANTS The stud...

BACKGROUND An increasing incidence of oral carcinoma among young adults has been reported in the U.S. and Europe. Although the association between human papillomavirus infection and tonsillar carcinoma is now well established, to the authors' knowledge little is known about incidence trends in tonsillar carcinoma among younger adults. The objective of the current study was to explore the trends...

Since human papillomavirus (HPV) was first linked to laryngeal/oral carcinomas in 1983, several studies have confirmed its causal role in a subgroup of upper aerodigestive tract tumours. Of the non-genital cancers, tonsillar carcinomas (TCs) have the strongest association with HPV. By the end of 2002, 432 TCs had been analysed for HPV DNA. Overall detection rate was 51%, with HPV-16 being the m...
