Abstract

Squamous odontogenic tumors (SOT) are rare, benign, odontogenic neoplasms of the jaws. The sporadically reported cases with multifocal SOTs seem to have a marked predilection for younger African American patients. In this case report a 14-year-old Caucasian male presented with swelling of the vestibular alveolar process, slight tooth divergence, and mobility. A multifocal squamous odontogenic tumor was diagnosed and subsequently treated twice with surgical enucleation. Two and a half years earlier his mother was diagnosed and treated for a similar multifocal SOT. Next-Generation-Sequencing targeted resequencing mutational analysis of the maternal surgical specimens was performed. No potential causal mutation could be identified. Postoperative follow-up of the patient showed no recurrence of the SOT after 2 years. This case report substantiates the possibility of a familial relationship in (multifocal) SOT, possibly changing current ideas concerning the etiology and treatment of these neoplasms., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Abstract

This study investigated the feasibility of a 3D black-blood STIR TSE sequence with a pseudo steady-state sweep and motion-sensitized driven equilibrium pulse for extraforaminal cranial nerve imaging on a 3T system. Assessments of healthy volunteers showed near-perfect agreement in nerve visualization with excellent to good visualization of the extraforaminal trigeminal, greater occipital, and facial nerves. Suppression of surrounding tissues was excellent to good. 3D cranial nerve imaging can produce nerve selective imaging of extraforaminal cranial and spinal nerve branches., (© 2021 by American Journal of Neuroradiology.)

Abstract

A clinicopathological review of parotid tumours treated surgically in two oral and maxillofacial surgery departments was conducted. The performance of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was also assessed. This retrospective study included 250 consecutive patients treated surgically for parotid gland-related tumours. Benign tumours (n=211, 84.4%) were more prevalent than malignancies (n=39, 15.6%). A predominance of pleomorphic adenoma (48.8%) was identified, and epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (3.6%) was the most common malignant tumour. Overall, the sensitivity and specificity of FNAC were 64% and 99%, respectively. Subgrouping resulted in sensitivity and specificity of 50% and 100% for clinically assisted FNAC versus, 72% and 99% for ultrasound guidance. Surgically, 31.6% underwent complete superficial parotidectomy and 28.4% underwent extracapsular dissection. Overall, facial nerve palsy was the most prevalent postoperative complication, affecting 29.2% (70/240); loss of function was transient in 21.2% (51/240) and permanent in 7.9% (19/240). Extracapsular dissection and superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation were the treatments of choice when a benign tumour was suspected. Facial nerve palsy was quite frequent; treatment options however are scarce. Preoperative diagnostic workup using imaging and ultrasound-guided FNAC was essential in identifying malignancy so that surgical planning could be adapted., (Copyright © 2019 The Authors.
