Background: Surgical resection through extraoral approach is the first choice for submental mass but leaves a visible scar. This study introduces an endoscopy-assisted transoral approach to resect submental mass and evaluates the clinical results.
Patients And Methods: From September 2018 to December 2019, 5 patients with submental mass underwent surgical resection through endoscopy-assisted transoral approach. The swallowing, speech, and appearance domains of the University of Washington Quality of Life questionnaire were assessed preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively.
Results: Each mass was completely removed without rupture. No patient developed any permanent postoperative complications. The function and aesthetic outcomes were excellent without recurrence.
Conclusions: Endoscopy-assisted transoral approach for resection of submental mass is a reliable technique that achieves excellent postoperative aesthetics and functional results.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors composed of mature adipocytes, commonly found in subcutaneous tissues. Despite their prevalence in various body regions, they are relatively rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics, as well as the treatment outcomes of 57 patients diagnosed with lipoma.

Deoxycholic acid (DCA) injection is applied in treating moderate to severe submental bulge or facial fullness caused by excessive submental fat accumulation. Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) technology, which was swiftly, precisely, and reliably confirmed, DCA was determined in human plasma with low quantification limits of 56 ng/mL. We selected six healthy individual blank human plasma with low concentrations of endogenous DCA and mixed them to prepare standard curve samples.

The posterior belly of the digastric muscle, referred to as the "resident's friend," serves as a valuable anatomical landmark because identification of its location during head and neck surgery helps to secure vital structures. A 53-year-old female was referred for an oral cavity mass with a biopsy confirmed squamous cell cancer. A physical exam revealed a 4 cm long and 2 cm wide right ulcerated oral tongue mass.

Background: Various trainings focus on the submental muscles (SMs) for dysphagia rehabilitation because of their importance for swallowing safety and efficiency. According to the current literature, swallow-specific tasks may be optimal exercises for dysphagia. The effortful swallow (ES) and the Masako maneuver (MM) are the most commonly used swallow-specific tasks in the clinical settings for dysphagia for years, but long-term effects for these trainings is insufficient.
