Article Synopsis
- Surgeons need effective diagnostic tools to plan treatments, and the study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the "air sign" (AS) as a radiological indicator for detecting mandibular fractures.
- The research involved analyzing CT and CBCT scans of 43 patients with mandibular fractures, focusing on the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of the AS.
- The results showed that while the AS has slightly lower sensitivity and specificity compared to other methods, it remains a valuable additional tool for reducing misdiagnosis in mandibular fractures, especially in open cases.
: Malignant eyelid tumours present a considerable challenge in the field of ophthalmic oncology, necessitating a combination of precision oncological care and meticulous reconstruction to ensure the preservation of eyelid functionality and the maintenance of facial aesthetics. : This study presents a review of the outcomes of 167 patients who underwent eyelid reconstruction following the excision of primary non-melanocytic malignant tumours. The choice of reconstruction technique was dependent on a number of factors, including the stage of the tumour, its location, and the characteristics of the patient.

The aim of this study was to compare treatment modalities, pathological and clinical characteristics, and outcomes in patients with metastasis in a parotid gland. The medical records of 34 patients who received treatment for metastasis in the parotid gland over a twenty-year period were evaluated. Patients with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HNcSCC) metastasis were retrospectively reclassified using the P/N and N1S3 staging system.

The association of obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) with the incidence of WTs remains unclear. This retrospective study aims to compare the BMI and other clinical factors of patients diagnosed with WTs to those with other benign epithelial parotid gland tumors.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWarthin tumors (WTs) are the second most common salivary gland tumors, most commonly found in the tail of the parotid gland. The lymphoid components of a WT may also serve as a site for tumor-to-tumor metastasis. This report describes the metastasis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) from the preauricular region to a parotid WT.
