Melon-sized Parotid Pleomorphic Adenoma-A Case Report.

This case report describes a 55 year-old gentleman who had been living with an extremely large (1.2 kg) pleomorphic adenoma for 24 years-despite its significant size, weight and appearance. A modified surgical incision and approach were required to remove the tumour, to avoid damaging the facial nerve and its branches.

Practical guidance for the management of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with cancer. Which treatment?

Clinicians involved in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increasingly come across patients with current or previous history of malignancies. With increasing and earlier use of immunosuppression and biologics in IBD patients, the question arises whether these treatments further increase the risk of new or recurrent cancers. A number of population-based observational studies have now reported the odds of development of new or recurrent cancers with thiopurines and antitumour necrosis factors (anti-TNFs).
