A second case of neurothekeoma in sacrococcygeal region in children has been reported.
Warthin's tumor (WT) is a benign salivary gland tumor frequently arising from the parotid gland. It is the most common salivary gland tumor after pleomorphic adenoma. [1] WT may be seen bilateral (5-14%) and multicentric (12-20%). [2] Although WT is often originated from parotid gland, it may be encountered in extraparotid tissues such as nasopharynx, oral cavity, larynx, and cervical lymph nodes. [3,5] Histopathologically, there are encapsulated lesions containing cystic and solid components. The tumor occurs more commonly in male patients (10:1) and develops more often in the sixth and seventh decades. [3] Patients often complain slow but progressively growing masses around the jawbone. In this article, we aimed to present a case of WT with an atypical presentation and location and to compare it with literature data.
Purpose: Aim of this study is to analyzing the outcomes of the head and neck adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) according to tumor stage, perineural invasion (PNI), lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and determining the risk of local failure. Methods:The data of 68 ACC patients between 2002 and 2016 we are collected from electronic database of Gazi University Medical Faculty and patients files. Thirteen patients were excluded from study because of lack of information. Univariate Kaplan Meier and multivariate analysis Cox regression tests we are used to identify local recurrence free survival and it predictors.Results: The mean age of study was 54.2 years. 31 patients (56.3%) had perineural invasion, 31 patients (56.3%) had stage T3-T4 disease and 9 patients (16.3%) had a positive lymph node. Mean follow-up duration was 57.7 months and 73.5% of the patients survived during this period. T stage of tumor (p=0.034), nodal status (p<0.001) and positive/close surgical margins (p=0.017) were determined as risk factors for disease free survival. However, in contrast to literature, postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) seemed insignificant the tumor control (p=0.235),because, all patients in the no PORT group were consisted of T1-2 tumors resected with wide surgical margins. So, the benefit of PORT could not be assessed properly due to the composition of groups. Conclusion:There is an eloquent correlation between the local recurrence risk and T stage of tumor, nodal involvement and surgical margins. However, benefit of PORT could not be assessed properly, due to design of no PORT group.
Nasal type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma which originates from nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Exact diagnosis of nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, which is a rapidly progressive clinical condition, may be established by immunohistochemical analysis on biopsy material after clinical suspicion. In this article, we report four cases of nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma who were followed-up in our clinic and discuss the diagnosis and treatment of the disease in light of the literature data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
