[Sclerosing polycystic adenosis of the parotid gland : surgical treatment of an extensive lesion of deep tissue without superficial damage].

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare benign epithelial lesion of the salivary glands, of unknown etiology, mainly affecting the parotid gland. We report the first clinical case of SPA involving the deep parotid gland with extension in the parapharyngeal space and the masticatory region. It has been resected by an external parotidectomy approach exclusively, despite the median extension of the lesion.

Evolution in the management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: systematic review of outcomes over the last 25 years.

The treatment of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has evolved over the last 25years, from open surgery to combined chemoradiotherapy, and now to the development of minimally invasive procedures, but evidence for the best treatment is lacking. We therefore did a systematic search of the MEDLINE database for studies published between 1992 and 2017 that reported oncological or functional outcomes, or both. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were used for screening and selection, and 45 studies were chosen.

Periorbital Necrotizing Fasciitis Induced by Streptococcus pyogenes: A Case Report and Clarification.

Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis (PONF) is a rare condition of the face. PONF can lead to blindness, functional and esthetic sequelae, multiple-organ failure, and death. The aim of this report is to raise the awareness of this severe condition in maxillofacial surgeons.

Huge teratoma of the face.

Background: A case of facial teratoma is reported which was composed of the three germinal layers of the embryo. Teratomas form tissues foreign to the body part in which they arise. These are most common in the sacrococcygeal region and in the gonads, but can also be present in extragonadal sites.
