Pediatric Sinonasal Pleomorphic Adenoma: A Case Report.

While primarily observed in adults, this case contributes valuable insights into the manifestation and management of this benign salivary gland tumor within the pediatric population. This paper reports the first documented case of sinonasal pleomorphic adenoma in pediatric otolaryngology, presenting a unique perspective on this rare nasal tumor in a 9-year-old boy. The patient presented with progressive nasal obstruction and epistaxis and underwent a smooth endoscopic resection of a 2-cm pleomorphic adenoma on the right anterior nasal septum.

Factors influencing nodal yield in neck dissections for head and neck malignancies.

Objective: A standard lateral neck dissection should yield at least 18 lymph nodes. The goal of the present study was to examine what factors might influence the number of lymph nodes retrieved during a neck dissection.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary academic referral centre for head and neck oncology.
