Histopathologic Evaluations of the Lingual Artery in Healthy Tongue of Adult Cadaver.

Objectives: To clarify the anatomical distribution of the lingual artery in normal adult subjects through histopathologic evaluations.

Methods: Eighteen healthy cadaveric tongues were used to produce 8 paraffin-embedded tissue sections each. Length from midline raphe, depth from dorsum of tongue and the whole transverse length tongue were measured.

The efficacy of TachoComb on reducing postoperative complications after tonsillectomy in children.

A case of carotid body tumor concomitant with carcinoid tumor.

Neuroendocrine tumors typically fall into two broad categories: those of epithelial origin and those of neural derivation. The former group includes carcinoid tumors and the latter includes paraganglioma. Although paraganglioma and carcinoid tumor have different biologic behaviors, their overlapping histological appearance can pose diagnostic challenges.

Endoscopic removal of a huge keratocystic odontogenic tumor in maxillary sinus.

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor is derived from the proliferation of residues of the dental lamina. Keratocystic odontogenic tumors have high recurrence rate from 0% to 62%, depending on the locations and types of treatment. The controversy still exists about treatment methods ranging from simple curettage to highly invasive en bloc resection.
