The goal of this review is to define the clinical characteristics of parotid hemangiomas in children and outline their therapeutic management. The records of 42 pediatric patients with hemangiomas were reviewed; 10 required surgical treatment. Two cases of temporary postoperative facial nerve palsy were observed. Treatment was commonly delayed, and there is a significant likelihood of spontaneous regression. The indications for surgical intervention are an increase in tumor size, rapid tumor growth, failure of tumor size to decrease and hemorrhage into the lesion.

Purpose: Radiolabeled probes targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have been used in prostate cancer. Moreover, PSMA is also overexpressed on neovessels in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to preliminarily evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-617 PET/MRI for HCC.

Background/aim: Parotid oncocytomas typically present as benign, unilateral, slow-growing, painless, and solitary masses that are histologically firm and multilobulated. They are often misdiagnosed as pleomorphic adenomas, hemangiomas, or other forms of oncocytosis. However, in our case, the parotid oncocytomas initially mimicked bilateral parotid gland metastasis of advanced oropharyngeal cancer.

Article Synopsis
- - A bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a rare congenital cyst that can occur in the neck, specifically in the area above the hyoid bone, which can lead to confusion in diagnosis.
- - In a reported case, a male child was incorrectly diagnosed with a thyroglossal duct cyst due to a neck mass that moved with swallowing, which is a typical symptom of that condition.
- - After surgical removal and analysis of the tissue, the cyst was found to contain cartilage and specific epithelial cells, confirming it as a bronchogenic cyst, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis for neck masses.
