Fibrofolliculomas are benign connective tissue tumours of the hair follicle that typically present as multiple lesions over the head and neck. A solitary fibrofolliculoma is a rare entity and has not been previously described in the canthal region. The authors report an unusual case of a 43-year-old female who was found to have a solitary fibrofolliculoma located in close proximity to the medial canthus following an excision biopsy.

In this study, we compared the xerostomia classification performance of radiomics features calculated on clinically relevant and de novo sub-regions of the parotid glands of HNC patients.
Material And Methods: All patients ( = 117) were treated with TomoTherapy in 30-35 fractions of 2-2.
Background And Purpose: While core to the scientific approach, reproducibility of experimental results is challenging in radiomics studies. A recent publication identified radiomics features that are predictive of late irradiation-induced toxicity in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. In this study, we assessed the generalisability of these findings.

The purpose of this study was to analyse Twitter activity of the radiotherapy community around ESTRO congresses with a focus on gender-related and geographic trends.
Materials And Methods: Tweets, re-tweets and replies, here designated as , around the ESTRO congresses held in 2012-2021 were collected.
