Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most common type of malignancy seen in the lacrimal glands and is generally characterized by invasive malignant appearance with irregular margins and associated bone erosion or destruction. The authors report an unusual patient with a large expansile, well-circumscribed lacrimal adenoid cystic carcinoma with adjacent bone remodeling, radiologically mimicking a benign lesion.

Objective: This study aimed to comparatively analyze the indications, treatment outcomes, and reliability levels of the intraductal pneumatic lithotripsy (IPL) and holmium laser-assisted lithotripsy (HLL) methods that are used to sialendoscopically separate stones into smaller pieces in submandibular gland sialolithiasis (SMGS) patients. To the best of the author's knowledge, there is no study that compared these 2 methods in the literature in English. Methods: The retrospectively designed...

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between post-operative mandibular fractures and its predictable risk factors in patients with marginal mandibular resection. Additionally, the timing of post-operative mandibular fractures was assessed. Patients and methods: Records of 37 patients with mandibular gingival carcinoma who underwent marginal mandibular resection at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kagawa Prefectural Central Hospital, from April 2011...

Purpose: Open cranial vault remodeling (CVR) with autologous split calvarial bone grafts redistributes and recontours an abnormal calvarium to create an expanded cranial vault in patients with craniosynostosis. We report a 12-year retrospective review of 162 nonsyndromic patients who underwent operative repair using our previously-described technique which portends excellent surgical outcomes and can be applied to patients of any age group and with any variety of suture fusion. Methods:...

Cervical thymic cysts are rare and present in the first decade of life. They constitute 0.3% to 1% of congenital neck masses. Thymic tissue foci, which exist between the mandible and the mediastinum, can be found at the descent of the thymic primordium. Thymic cysts should be considered in pediatric patients who present with cervical neck masses. The diagnosis of thymic cysts can only be made by histopathologic examinations. In recent years, the number of reports of thymic cyst cases have increased,...

Objective: The goal of this retrospective study is to examine the changes of maxillary sinus volume, sinus membrane thickness (SMT) and the distance between the floor of maxillary sinus and ostium after Le Fort I osteotomy. Methods: A total of 30 patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy were evaluated just before and 1 year after the surgical operation. Linear and volumetric measurements were done via 3D-DOCTOR software on sectional and 3D images. Results: Decrease in maxillary...

Full-thickness defects of the calvarium often present reconstructive challenges, necessitating large rotational flaps or microsurgical free tissue transfer. Although the vascularity of the scalp is robust, there is an increased risk of wound healing complications after both direct and indirect intracranial revascularization procedures as compared to routine craniotomies, as these procedures utilize extracranial scalp vasculature to supply the ischemic brain. Patients presenting with wound healing...

Purpose: Maxillofacial trauma represents a serious public health problem and their epidemiology is extremely variable. The objective of the present study was to analyze and discuss the epidemiological characteristics of 2492 patients with oral and maxillofacial trauma over a 5-year period. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at different hospitals of Xinjiang from 2012 to 2016. Data were collected for the cause of injury, age and gender distribution, frequency...

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Metastatic disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It frequently metastasizes to bone, lungs, regional lymph nodes, liver and brain. Metastasis to the orbit and paranasal sinuses is uncommon. Patients presenting with sinus pain, nasal congestion, or visual disturbance can be misdiagnosed with an infectious process. Methods: The authors describe 2 patients with metastatic breast cancer to the paranasal...

Background: Parapharyngeal area is one of the most complex areas of head and neck anatomy. Tumors of the parapharyngeal region are very rare among head and neck tumors. Lipomas also constitute a tiny proportion of parapharyngeal tumors so parapharyngeal area lipomas are very rare in the literature. Due to anatomical location, these tumors treatment is challenging. Clinical Report: A 20-year-old male patient admitted to our department with complaints of swallowing difficulty and a mass...
