Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the developmental relationship between the volumes of paranasal sinuses and adenoid tissue by using a 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Subjects And Methods: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) images were obtained using 3D reconstructions and a volume-rendering technique (VRT) in 69 boys and 35 girls aged 3 to 16 years, and bilateral maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinus volumes, as well as adenoid tissue volume marked in axial-coronal-sagittal planes, were calculated. The patients were grouped in 3 categories according to adenoid tissue volumes, and comparisons were made.
Results: There was no significant difference between the right maxillary volume and left maxillary volume (P = .93). No significant difference was noted between the groups in terms of age and gender. There was no significant correlation between frontal, sphenoid, right and left maxillary, or total maxillary sinus volumes in all 3 groups of patients.
Conclusion: When classified according to adenoid tissue size, it was observed that increasing adenoid tissue volumes did not significantly affect the development of paranasal sinuses. Developmentally, there are no statistically significant correlations between the volumes of paranasal sinuses and adenoid tissues.

Background: Aurora kinase A (AurkA) plays a vital role in mitosis and is therefore critical in tumors development and progression. There are a few studies on AurkA expression in salivary gland tumors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression pattern of AurkA in the most common benign and malignant salivary gland tumors by immunohistochemistry.

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare glandular malignancy, commonly originating in salivary glands of the head and neck. Given its protracted growth, ACC is usually diagnosed in advanced stage. Treatment of ACC is limited to surgery and/or adjuvant radiotherapy, which often fails to prevent disease recurrence, and no FDA-approved targeted therapies are currently available.

Aim: The study was designed to evaluate molecular alterations, relevant to the prognosis and personalized therapy of salivary gland cancers (SGCs).
Materials And Methods: DNA was extracted from archival tissue of 40 patients with various SGCs subtypes. A targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel was used for the identification of small-scale mutations, focal and chromosomal arm-level copy number changes.

Background: Malignant salivary gland tumors (SGTs) present diagnostic challenges and limited treatment options. This study aims to determine the proportion of malignant SGTs overexpressing the androgen receptor (AR) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and its association to age, sex, anatomical site, histopathological subtype and grade which may inform customized treatment approaches.
Methodology: This was a retrospective cross-sectional analytical study of archived paraffin embedded tissue blocks of malignant SGTs diagnosed at MNH Central Pathology Laboratory (CPL) from January 2019 to December 2022.

Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy characterized by slow progression, local recurrence, and distant metastases. This study aims to evaluate the demographic patterns, clinical presentations, outcomes, and survival trends of patients with ACC. Methods A retrospective analysis of 14 patients diagnosed with ACC from 2010 to 2024 at a tertiary cancer center in the United Arab Emirates was conducted.
