Background: Salivary gland neoplasms are rare and constitute 3 to 4% of head neck neoplasms. Majority them benign a small percentage malignant tumors. A careful clinical examination judicious investigations help us plan for an optimal surgical management. The aim the study was clinico-epidemiological pattern, histological subtypes, management & postoperative complications salivary neoplasms...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare neoplasm characterized by monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells and accounts for about 3 - 5% all cell neoplasms including bone extramedullary tumors. Plasmacytomas are more predominant in males who the 5th – 6th decade. It most often located head neck region. usually affects upper respiratory tract 80% cases 15% spread to cervical lymph nodes. They pres...

Sinonasal tract malignancies are uncommon, representing no more than 5% of all head and neck neoplasms. However, in contrast to other head and neck sites, a significant proportion of sinonasal neoplasms tend to display a poorly/ undifferentiated significantly overlapping morphology and a highly aggressive clinical course, despite being of diverse histogenetic and molecular pathogenesis. The wid...

Tumors of the parapharyngeal space account for 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms. The parapharyngeal space is actually a potential space located lateral to the upper pharvnx. This bilateral fat containing region extends from the skull base to the hyoid bone. The parapharyngeal space is further compartmentalized by thick fascial layers that direct tumor growth. Among the salivary gland neoplasms, ...

Introduction: The expansion of knowledge about head and neck cancer can provide greater care the ability to identify risk factors symptoms disease, as well incorporation healthy habits. younger these concepts are sedimented, better results will be, making society healthier more aware. Objective: To assess among adolescents from private schools, aged between 13 22 years. Methods: 200 questionnai...

Radiologists are often called upon to solve diagnostic problems involving the skull base in cancer patients. This presentation focuses on three issues: the detection of osseous involvement by infiltrating neoplasms, the diagnostic approach to bone tumours and the demonstration of head and neck tumours showing intracranial spread.

There is a tendency among the head and neck surgeons to classify head and neck tumors as squamous and nonsquamous. The latter is a miscellaneous collection of less common, but certainly no less significant neoplasms. The rarity of these tumors is evident from the limited data available on clinical characteristics and outcomes. This study is thus an attempt to meet the need and fill the void by ...

Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of the head and neck in children, including intracranial neoplasms. Capillary hemangioma in turn is the commonest type of hemangioma. Our case establishes that its anatomic distribution may include the intracranial compartment. We were unable to distinguish capillary hemangioma from meningioma based on imaging findings alone.

......................................... Received: 19-02-15 Accepted: 26-02-15 Abstract A basic principle of pathology is that neoplasms differ according to their cells of origin. Neoplasms of the liver resemble its constituent liver, biliary, epithelial, endothelial, mesenchymal cells or some combination of these different types of cells. It is important to remember here that metastases are t...

Meningiomas represent the most common benign intracranial neoplasms, and may spread by direct extension into nearby venous sinuses, but gross spread to the extracranial venous system is uncommon. We report the case of a patient with extracranial intraluminal spread of meningioma within the internal jugular vein to level III of the neck. Review of the preoperative assessment and management is al...
