Secretory carcinoma of parotid gland masquerading as acinic cell carcinoma on cytology: Case report and review of literature.

Secretory carcinoma is a relatively recently discovered low-grade salivary gland carcinoma with morphological similarities to its breast counterpart. The histopathological features of this entity are well established; however, the cytomorphological features are not well evaluated, leading to diagnostic challenges and pitfalls. We report a case of secretory carcinoma (SC) of the parotid gland, which was misdiagnosed as acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) on fine-needle aspiration cytology, to describe the cytological features.

Clinicopathological Difference Between Gingivobuccal and Oral Tongue Cancers: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study from a Tertiary Healthcare Centre in Northern India.

Gingivobuccal and oral tongue squamous cell carcinomas are commonly considered together as a single clinical entity for staging and treatment purposes. Though there is data suggesting a significant difference between SCC of various oral cavity subsites, very few studies have compared clinicopathological characteristics between the tongue and gingivobuccal primaries. We retrospectively analysed 225 patients with biopsy-proven gingivobuccal (GB) and oral tongue (OT) SCC operated between April 1, 2018 and April 30, 2021 in All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, India to compare their clinicopathological characteristics.

Radiological tumor thickness as a clinical predictor of pathological depth of invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective analysis.

Purpose: Inclusion of depth of invasion (DOI) in the recent AJCC/UICC TNM staging for oral cancer has incorporated the concept of tumor third dimension and its prognostic importance. However, there is no uniform consensus about measuring DOI at clinical setting at present. For more practical reasons, radiological tumor thickness (rTT) is a simple and practical measurement which can be used as a clinical predictor of pDOI.

Financial toxicity and mental well-being of the oral cancer survivors residing in a developing country in the era of COVID 19 pandemic - A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The primary outcome measures evaluated the financial toxicity and mental well-being of the oral cancer survivors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of oral cancer survivors who were disease-free for more than 6 months after treatment and visited the hospital for a routine follow-up is included in the study. Mental well-being and financial toxicity were evaluated using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale - 21 (DASS 21) and Comprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST- Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) questionnaires.

Exploring an Unfathomed Entiry: A Pooled Analysis of Solitory Skeletal Muscle Metastasis from Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background: Skeletal muscle is relatively uncommon site for metastasis in head and neck primary. This study was conducted to report our experience of three such cases and analyze the previously reported cases to assess the overall outcomes and formulate a treatment plan for these patients.

Methods: We pooled the data extracted on extensive literature review and analyzed.

Risk Benefit Analysis of Routine Thymectomy for Differentiated Thyroid Cancers: A Systematic Review.

 Central compartment lymph node dissection (CLND) is a part of the surgical management of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Therapeutic CLND is done to address clinically significant central compartment nodes in patients with DTC, while prophylactic CLND is performed in the presence of high-risk features in the absence of clinically significant neck nodes. Removal of thymus-unilateral or bilateral-during CLND to achieve complete clearance of level VI and VII lymph node stations and address thymic metastasis is debatable.

Technical Considerations and Outcome Analysis of Using Extended Bipaddle Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flaps for Reconstructions of Large and Complex Oral Cavity Defects: Expanding the Horizons.

Unlabelled: Reconstruction of large and complex defects arising from resection of advanced oral cancers requires free flaps or multi-staged reconstructions using a combination of pedicled flaps. Bipaddle (pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap is a good alternative for reconstruction of such defects, especially in low-middle-income countries (LMIC). However, care should be taken while expanding its limits to avoid unnecessary morbidity.

Malignant Sertoli cell tumor of the testis masquerading as seminoma with bone metastasis.

Sex cord-stromal tumors of the testes are rare malignancies as compared to germ cell tumors. Pure Sertoli cell tumors are still rare representing <1% of testicular cancers and the malignant forms are too rare. Furthermore, the occurrence of metastasis in such cases is extremely rare with <30 cases reported in literature so far to the best of our knowledge.
