Background: Reconstruction of extensive palatal defects in growing patients aims to restore speech intelligibility and swallowing function while avoiding excessive scarring formation that may cause growth disturbances in the palate and midface region. Free flaps transfer healthy, well-vascularized tissue to the defect area, and their combination with pharyngeal flaps allow for restoration of the velopharyngeal function. We examined speech and swallowing after microsurgical palate reconstruction in a series of six pediatric patients.

RT+ has shown satisfactory results for locoregional control of the disease, in spite of promoting local side effects.

One challenging feature of head and neck pathology is that a dizzying array of spindle cell lesions occurs here which ranges all the way from reactive, very aggressive forms to malignant lesions. Leiomyosarcoma is one such malignant tumour of mesenchymal origin exhibiting smooth muscle differentiation; presenting generally nonspecific signs and symptoms. Here we present a case of leiomyosarcoma in a 21 year old female patient associated with single reddish pink swelling present in the posterior right maxillary tuberosity region with moderate facial asymmetry.
