Mass was mixed in consistency with firm and cystic areas on palpation. Adjacent tissues appeared normal on examination. She was booked for excision which was done with an elliptical incision at the base of the lesion. Mucosal defect was left open. There was minimal blood loss. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. The neonate was discharged home on the following day. Excised tissue was sent fo...

detected in several cases [4]. In our case, immunohis-tochemical staining for vimentin was not performed. Positivity for vimentin implies that the tumor cells are of fibroblastic lineage. However, we were able to determine that with the satellite to spindle shape of cells. Histopathologically, the tumors appear well-mar-ginated under low-power microscopic examination. The tumor cells are relati...

DESCRIPTION This patient is a 76-year-old man with medical history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and multiple squamous cell skin cancers. Four years prior, he underwent dermatographic resection of a squamous cell carcinoma of the right cheek that had involved the right facial nerve. Two years later, the lesion recurred. Radical resection with control of free margins was performed by the h...

We presented 2 cases of lipogranuloma of the cheek following autologous fat injection. Facial autologous fat injection for soft tissue augmentation is a frequently used technique in the field of plastic surgery. Although this procedure was thought to be a safe procedure without foreign body reactions, there had been several case reports on lipogranuloma following autologous fat injection, espec...

or pieces of endometrium to the cheek pouch of hysterectomized animals significantly reduces the length of induced pseudopregnancy from 18 to 13\m=.\5 days (Caldwell, Mazer & Wright, 1967). These authors also reported that transplanting rat uteri to the cheek pouch also reduced pseudopregnancy in hysterectomized hamsters (14\m=.\8days), whereas the effects of transplanting rabbit uteri (15\m=.\...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether inhibitors of tyrosine kinase attenuate vasodilation elicited by endogenously elaborated and exogenously applied nitric oxide in the in situ peripheral microcirculation. Using intravital microscopy, we found that pretreatment with genistein (1.0 microM) and tyrphostin 25 (10.0 microM), two structurally unrelated tyrosine kinase inhibitors, sign...

Results are reported from a descriptive and experimental study that was intended to evaluate comparative markedness (McCarthy 2002, 2003) as an amendment to optimality theory. Two children (aged 4;3 and 4;11) with strikingly similar, delayed phonologies presented with two independent, interacting error patterns of special interest, i.e., Deaffrication ([tɪn] 'chin') and Consonant Harmony ([ɡɔɡ]...

Soft tissue sarcomas of the head and neck region are rare, and very little has been described about the reconstructive methods used after sarcoma resection of cheek soft tissue sarcomas. Reconstructive methods for cheek defects after sarcoma resection are presented and the possibilities, advantages, disadvantages, and expected results are described. A series of 3 patients with cheek soft tissue...

Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue malignant tumor. It mostly arises in the subcutaneous tissue of shoulders, limbs and neck, and retroperitoneal space, but head occurrence is very rare. Atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT) is a well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) and constitutes 40-45% of all liposarcoma cases. A case of 57-year-old woman with a tumor of the left cheek, causing a discre...

The nitric oxide radical (*NO) released from tobacco-related compounds induces DNA damage, protein modifications, and cellular toxicity through the formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-), the reaction product of *NO and the oxygen radical, superoxide. We hypothesize that tobacco-related compounds are cytotoxic and induce quantifiable DNA single-strand breaks in immortalized hamster cheek pouch (POI...
