Article Synopsis
- In India, head and neck cancer represents about 35% of all cancers, with buccal mucosa and tongue being the most affected areas; reconstructing defects after cancer removal poses significant challenges.
- This study analyzed 23 patients who underwent infrahyoid flap (IHF) reconstruction for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma from 2010 to 2017, focusing on the flap's feasibility for small to medium-sized defects.
- The results showed some flap-related complications but no major issues like fistulas, indicating that the infrahyoid myocutaneous flap can be a reliable alternative to free flaps for reconstructive needs in these cases.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) refers to spindle cell sarcomas arising from or separating in the direction of cells of peripheral nerve sheath. The MPNST of the parotid gland is an extremely rare tumor, accounts for < 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas, and carries a poor prognosis. In this article, we report a case of MPNST of parotid gland in a 45-year-old male and review its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
