Total Thyroidectomy Versus Partial Thyroidectomy for Non-Toxic Multinodular Goiter: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Unlabelled: Thyroid follicular nodular disease (non-toxic multinodular goiter), the commonest thyroid disorder, can be managed with different surgical methods, including total thyroidectomy (TT), near-total thyroidectomy (NTT), subtotal thyroidectomy (STT), and Dunhill operation (DO). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide an update on the role of TT versus NTT, STT, or DO in MNG concerning goiter recurrence, thyroid cancer incidence, and reported complications. We conducted a systematic literature search in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL.

Clinicopathological Characteristics, Prognostic Factors, and Treatment Outcomes of Patients with Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated with Glossectomy: A Tertiary Oncology Center Experience.

Oral tongue squamous cell cancer (OTSCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide and incidence increases with age. An alarming increase in the incidence of OTSCC in the younger age group. This study aimed to explore clinical and histopathological characteristics, survival, and other post-surgical outcomes in patients with OTSCC treated with glossectomy through the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNGHA) within our study period.

Ameloblastoma of the Maxilla With Distant Metastases to the Lungs: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Maxillary ameloblastoma is one of the rarest odontogenic epithelial tumors encountered, as 80% of ameloblastomas are seen within the mandible. Ameloblastoma is usually incidentally detected in the third to fourth decades of life, as most patients remain asymptomatic; yet some patients may complain of a slowly growing, painless swelling. We present a case of maxillary ameloblastoma with pulmonary metastasis along with a brief literature review.
