Clinicopathologic Predictive Factors of Extranodal Extension in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma - A Retrospective Analysis.

Unlabelled: The implications of extranodal extension (ENE) in oral carcinoma have been often related to prognosis and survival rates. The clinicopathologic predictive factors of this established prognostic factor were analyzed in this retrospective study. A total of 358 medical records of a single institution were screened.

Role of Perifacial Lymph Node in Nodal Metastasis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Prospective Study.

Nodal involvement in oral squamous cell carcinoma is common due to its lymphatic spread. First echelon group of lymph nodes are to be removed in such scenarios. Perifacial lymph nodes are one of the suspected groups to be affected in metastasis and also missed in dissection due to position.

Transverse Cervical Artery Based Free Flap in Reconstruction of a Tongue Defect: A Case Report.

In the era of reconstructive surgery, new and revolutionary options are being explored in oro-facial defect reconstruction. As free flaps are presently front runners for reconstruction of defects resulting from resection of benign and malignant lesions, there is a need for devising newer options to serve the need of covering defects following oncological resection. The availability of promising pedicles in the supraclavicular region makes it a potential donor site for harvesting regional flaps, and going forward, free flaps.

"Haemophilia A" - Presenting with oral squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis and management strategies.

Hemophilia is a hereditary disorder of coagulation that results in deficiency of factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or Factor IX (Hemophilia B) with characteristic X linked mode of inheritance, almost exclusively seen in males while females are asymptomatic carriers.The common clinical manifestation in both is prolonged bleeding on trivial trauma, mainly into larger joints or muscles. Life threatening bleeding episodes can result spontaneously or from trauma to the head or internal organs.
