Feasibility of a Novel 3D Ultrasound Imaging Technique for Intraoperative Margin Assessment during Tongue Cancer Surgery.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue is the most prevalent form of oral cavity cancer, with surgical intervention as the preferred method of treatment. Achieving negative or free resection margins of at least 5 mm is associated with improved local control and prolonged survival. Nonetheless, margins that are close (1-5 mm) or positive (less than 1 mm) are often observed in practice, especially for the deep margins.

Intraoral Ultrasound versus MRI for Depth of Invasion Measurement in Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Prospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) of the tongue is the most common type of oral cavity cancer, and tumor depth of invasion (DOI) is an important prognostic factor. In this study, we investigated the accuracy of intraoral ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessing DOI in patients with OSCC. Histopathological measurement of DOI was used as a reference standard.

3D Ultrasound and MRI in Assessing Resection Margins during Tongue Cancer Surgery: A Research Protocol for a Clinical Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

Surgery is the primary treatment for tongue cancer. The goal is a complete resection of the tumor with an adequate margin of healthy tissue around the tumor.Inadequate margins lead to a high risk of local cancer recurrence and the need for adjuvant therapies.

Different congenital and acquired lesions can present as a cystic mass of the neck. The diagnostics and treatment of these is described in this review. Ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration biopsy are essential in the diagnostic workup of neck cysts, and especially cysts located laterally in the neck in adults over 40 years of age require further examination, due to the risk of malignancy.

[The cardiovocal syndrome].

Ortner's syndrome, also known as the cardiovocal syndrome, refers to left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and hereby hoarseness due to cardiovascular disease. The palsy arises from compression of the nerve, as it passes between the aortic arch and the pulmonary artery. This case report describes a patient, who presented with hoarseness and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy due to an 8 × 7.

Facial nerve function after vestibular schwannoma surgery following failed conservative management.

Background: Because only a limited proportion of vestibular schwannomas display growth after diagnosis, an increasing number of patients are managed conservatively. Tumor growth during "wait and scan" may, however, necessitate surgery. In these cases, increased tumor size is likely to increase the risk of impaired facial nerve function after surgery.

[Leishmaniasis isolated to the larynx as cause of chronic laryngitis].

Mucosal leishmaniasis is uncommon outside Central and South America, where it is commonly caused by Leishmania (L.) braziliensis. We present a case of isolated laryngeal leishmaniasis detected in a 78-year-old male, who presented with chronic hoarseness.
