[Title] Diagnosis and treatment of a neck node swelling suspicious for a malignancy: an algorithmic approach.

Aim. To present an up-to-date algorithm incorporating recent advances regarding its diagnosis and treatment.

The vast majority of neck nodes from occult primaries (>90%) represent SCC with a high incidence among middle aged man.

Asiatic and North African patients with neck node metastases are at risk of harbouring an occult nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The remainder are adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, melanoma, thyroid carcinoma and Merkel cell carcinoma.

FDG-PET/CT has proven to be helpful in identifying occult primary carcinomas of the head and neck, especially when applied as a guiding tool prior to panendoscopy, and may induce treatment related clinical decisions in up to 60% of cases.

[Title] [Three cases of adenocarcinoma of the head and neck maintaining QOL by administration of docetaxel].

A primary head and neck adenocarcinoma is a comparatively rare disease, and surgical resection has been the first choice for its treatment.

In the present study, we performed chemotherapy with weekly administration of docetaxel in 3 cases with unresectable or recurrent adenocarcinoma of the head and neck on an outpatient basis, resulting in long-term maintenance of the patients' QOL.

The present results might suggest that it is possible to treat patients with adenocarcinoma in the head and neck without decreasing patients' QOL.

[Title] Three cases of bilateral chylothorax developing after neck dissection.

Only 16 cases of bilateral chylothorax following neck dissection have been reported within 10 decades.

In this paper, three cases of bilateral chylothorax which developed after neck dissection are reported.

Diagnosis may be delayed in those who are on total parenteral nutrition, and therefore particular attention should be paid to those patients.

It may be difficult to treat cases of chylothorax that develop following neck dissection performed after radiotherapy.

[Title] Occult primary head and neck carcinoma.

Unknown primary carcinoma presenting as cervical lymph node metastasis accounts for approximately 5% of all head and neck malignancies.

The typical presentation involves a middle-aged man with a painless neck mass that has been present for several months.

The remainder are comprised of adenocarcinoma, melanoma, and other rare histologic variants.

The ability to identify the occult primary tumor is imperative because identification allows site-specific therapy and avoidance of wide-field radiation side effects.

Following confirmation of metastatic cervical disease with fine-needle aspiration, all patients presenting with an unknown primary carcinoma require a thorough head and neck history and physical examination, radiographic imaging, panendoscopy with directed biopsies of Waldeyer's ring, and bilateral tonsillectomy.

Positron emission tomography has proved helpful in identifying occult primary tumors of the head and neck region.

[Title] Adenocarcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck: Report of five cases.

OBJECTIVE: Adenocarcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare tumor, and thus the management of the tumor has not been established.

RESULTS: We present five cases of adenocarcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck, including a rare case with nasopharyngeal adenocarcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.

There was no response to chemotherapy with nedaplatin and 5-FU, but the nasopharyngeal adenocarcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma showed a remarkable regression after the administration of docetaxel.

CONCLUSION: The combination therapy that includes docetaxel may be a promising treatment for adenocarcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma of the head and neck.

[Title] Versatility of free SCIA/SIEA flaps in head and neck defects.

Reconstruction of head and neck defects may require replacement of the bony structures, external soft tissue, and intraoral mucosa.

Recently, the authors used free superficial circumflex iliac artery/superficial inferior epigastric (SCIA/SIEA) flaps for head and neck reconstruction.

Fifteen patients underwent head and neck reconstruction with free SCIA/SIEA flaps (n = 16).

Based on our results, we believe that the free SCIA/SIEA flap is useful for soft tissue defect reconstruction in the head and neck.

(1) Large flap elevation is possible for reaching distant recipient vessels, (2) Two surgical teams may work at the same time preparing the donor and recipient regions, and (3) The flap design uses an abdominoplasty incision, which has minimal donor site morbidity.

[Title] Pulmonary resection for metastatic head and neck cancer.

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary metastasectomy has become the standard therapy for various metastatic malignancies to the lungs; however, little data have been available about lung metastasectomy for head and neck cancers.

METHODS: Between 1991 and 2007, 20 patients with pulmonary metastases from head and neck cancers underwent complete pulmonary resection.

All patients had obtained or had obtainable locoregional control of their primary head and neck cancers.

The median disease-free interval from the time of treatment of the head and neck primary cancers to the development of pulmonary metastases was 27 months.

CONCLUSION: The current practice of pulmonary metastasectomy for head and neck cancers in our institution was well justified.

[Title] Photodynamic therapy of head and neck cancers.

Over 1,500 patients have been treated with PDT using Photofrin, HPD, ALA, or Foscan for head and neck cancers.

The predominant histology is squamous cell carcinoma, but other histologies treated include mucosal melanoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, adenocarcinoma, metastatic breast carcinoma, and adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Several multi-institutional phase II clinical trials evaluating PDT treatment of head and neck cancers have demonstrated the efficacy of this minimally invasive therapy in the treatment of early oropharyngeal primary and recurrent cancers as well as the palliative treatment of refractory head and neck cancers.

Photodynamic therapy is as effective as conventional therapies for the treatment of early (Cis, T1, T2) squamous cell cancers of the head and neck.

[Title] Resection of secondary pulmonary malignancies in head and neck cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate a single institute's experience with resection of metachronous pulmonary malignancy in patients treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

METHODS: Sixty-three consecutive patients treated curatively for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma underwent surgical resection of malignant lung lesions.

For patients with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma (n = 52), the three-year survival rate was 35 per cent (95 per cent confidence interval, 22-48); for patients with resected adenocarcinoma (n = 10), it was 50 per cent (95 per cent confidence interval, 18-75).

CONCLUSION: In patients treated curatively for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, resection of secondary pulmonary cancer is associated with favourable long term overall survival, especially for patients with adenocarcinoma lesions.

[Title] The value of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for staging of primary extranodal head and neck lymphomas.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Using a retrospective approach, the aim of this study was to confirm the previously described value of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET/CT) in patients with primary extranodal lymphoma of the head and neck region.

METHODS: Twenty-six patients with a primary extranodal head and neck lymphoma (22 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, one Hodgkin's lymphoma, three malignant T-cell lymphomas) were included.

In one patient, relevant fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake within the intestine revealed a cecal adenocarcinoma as a secondary primary.

[Title] Metallothionein stroma reaction in tumor adjacent healthy tissue in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and breast adenocarcinoma.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the MT expression in head and neck squamous cells carcinoma and breast adenocarcinoma and their histologically healthy adjacent tissue.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have sampled 29 tissue samples in total derived from head and neck cancers and 29 samples of their clear surgical margins, 33 breast adenocarcinomas and 33 clear surgical margins.

RESULTS: MT expression was revealed in 85,7% of head and neck cancers and 94% of breast adenocarcinomas.

MT expression was statistically significantly higher in tumor adjacent tissue than in cancer tissue in cases with the presence of lymph node metastases in both, breast adenocarcinoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

[Title] [Investigation of the characters of cervical lymph node metastases of primary malignant tumor beyond head and neck].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characters of cervical lymph node metastases of primary tumors beyond head and neck.

METHODS: Among 466 cases of malignant tumor with cervical lymph node metastases treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1989 to June 2004, 77 cases of tumor which sites primarily beyond head and neck were studied.

RESULTS: The primary sites of these 77 cases of malignant tumor consisted of lung, stomach, esophagus, galactophore, colon, mediastinum, ovary, uterus, pancreas, liver, mesentery, adrenal gland and rectum.

The proportion of the metastases of malignant tumor from primary site beyond head and neck in each region was 2.1% in LEVEL I, 3.7% in LEVEL III, 14.3% in LEVEL IV, 70.8% in LEVEL V.

Among the cervical lymph node metastases of primary tumor beyond head and neck, 51.9% were low-grade adenocarcinoma, 15.6% were medial-grade adenocarcinoma, 11.7% were low-grade squamous cell carcinoma, 10.4% were medial-grade squamous carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: The cervical lymph node metastases of malignant tumor might be seen from many organs beyond head and neck.

The metastases from primary sites beyond head and neck usually focus on LEVEL V (81.8%), especially in the left.

And the primary tumors beyond head and neck metastasis in this region were more than the tumors from head and neck locally.

[Title] Does surgical resection of pulmonary metastases of head and neck cancer improve survival?

BACKGROUND: The prognosis of patients with metastasized head and neck cancer is poor.

Limited experience exists with the benefit of resection of lung metastases and systematic mediastinal and hilar lymph node dissection on survival of patients with head and neck carcinoma.

METHODS: Eighty patients undergoing metastasectomy for pulmonary metastases of primary head and neck cancer entered the study.

RESULTS: From 1984 until 2006, pulmonary metastases were diagnosed in 332 patients treated for head and neck cancer; 80 of these were admitted to our department for resection.

Metastases of the primary head and neck tumor were confirmed histologically in 67 patients.

[Title] Comprehensive review of small bowel metastasis from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The majority of these metastatic tumours come from adenocarcinoma primaries; squamous cell carcinoma constitutes a very small proportion of all metastatic small intestinal lesions.

Metastasis to small bowel by head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare and carries an unfavourable prognosis.

This work aims at specifying these characteristics by reviewing, compiling, analysing and reporting all published cases in the published literature on small bowel metastasis secondary to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive review article on the small intestinal metastasis from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

[Title] Multicentric prospective study on the prevalence of sublevel IIb metastases in head and neck cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of sublevel IIB lymph node (LN) metastases for head and neck primary tumors in a large cohort of patients.

PATIENTS: Between 2003 and 2005, 297 patients (male to female ratio, 3.5:1; mean age, 58.8 years [range, 18-89 years]) affected by head and neck cancer were treated by surgery on the primary tumor and/or the neck.

Primary site distribution included the following: oral cavity in 111 patients, larynx in 92, oropharynx in 32, thyroid gland in 22, skin of the lateral face or scalp in 16, hypopharynx in 11, unknown primary in 7, and parotid gland in 6.

INTERVENTIONS: All patients underwent unilateral or bilateral neck dissection (ND) with therapeutic or elective intent according to the primary site and clinical T (cT) and clinical N (cN) status.

The influence of several factors (institution in which the surgical procedure was performed, sex of the patient, site of primary, histotype, pathologic T [pT] status, cN status, lower level involved in the neck together with sublevel IIB, association with sublevel IIA metastasis, ipsilateral number of involved levels, and previous surgical treatment limited on the primary site) on the prevalence of sublevel IIB metastasis was statistically evaluated by the Pearson chi(2) test or Fisher exact test.

The overall prevalence of sublevel IIB metastases was 5.6% (26 neck sides).

Tumor histologic type in the sublevel IIB+ population was squamous cell carcinoma in 80%, papillary carcinoma in 8%, melanoma in 8%, and adenocarcinoma in 4%.

[Title] Neck masses secondary to heterotopic salivary gland tissue: a 25-year experience.

METHODS: A retrospective chart review revealed 24 patients with asymptomatic neck masses treated between 1976 and 2001, whose pathology demonstrated heterotopic salivary tissue or neoplasms arising from heterotopic salivary tissue.

Malignant tumors included mucoepidermoid (3), acinic cell (2), and adenocarcinoma (1).

Patients were treated by a superficial parotidectomy, neck dissection, or simple excision depending on site and preoperative workup.

Tumorigenic changes arise from heterotopic nodal inclusions, and although infrequent, should be considered in the differential diagnosis for isolated neck/periparotid masses and parotid Warthin's tumor.

Suggested management, after a thorough clinical exam/needle aspiration biopsy, includes an imaging survey of the parotid gland and neck lymphatics with an appropriate resection to include a simple excision, parotidectomy, neck dissection, and/or irradiation as indicated.

Isolated low-grade malignant lesions/benign lesions are adequately managed by excision or parotidectomy alone.

High-grade malignant lesions require more extended surgery with possible irradiation.

[Title] Results of a surgical resection of pulmonary metastasis from malignant head and neck tumor.

There have been only a few reports about a surgical resection of pulmonary metastasis from malignant head and neck tumor.

We retrospectively reviewed 25 patients who underwent a pulmonary metastasectomy from malignant head and neck tumor at Kyushu University Hospital from 1981 through 2008.

To obtain a long survival, a positive surgical resection is considered to be an effective and standard treatment for pulmonary metastasis from malignant head and neck tumor.

It is also necessary, however, to elucidate fully the primary site and histology of such pulmonary metastasis.

[Title] Distinguishing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia from squamous cell carcinoma in mucosal biopsy specimens from the head and neck.

CONTEXT: The differentiation of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia from invasive squamous cell carcinoma is a difficult and frequently encountered distinction, especially in biopsy specimens from head and neck mucosa.

OBJECTIVE: To distinguish pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia from invasive squamous cell carcinoma, utilizing a panel of antibodies to various epithelial and stromal elements (p53, matrix metalloproteinase 1, E-cadherin, and collagen IV) that has been shown to be useful in differentiating intestinal adenomas with invasive adenocarcinoma from displaced adenomatous epithelium.

DESIGN: Thirty-three archival specimens (16 squamous cell carcinoma [12 with invasion and 4 with microinvasion] and 17 pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia) from head and neck mucosal locations were immunostained and examined by the authors.

[Title] Lymphocyte-depleted thymic remnants: a potential diagnostic pitfall in the evaluation of central neck dissections.

The head and neck region is a frequent site for potentially confusing incidental benign findings not related to the primary pathologic process and having no impact on patient prognosis.

We report 3 cases of lymphocyte-poor thymic remnants identified in central cervical (level VI) lymph node dissections for unrelated benign and malignant pathology.

[Title] Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma of the head and neck.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is an entity described in 1984.

The natural history of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is distinct from other malignant salivary tumours.

RECENT FINDINGS: Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is a slow-growing tumour that is locally invasive.

Diagnosis is established after a biopsy because cytological studies are not helpful.

The role of radiation therapy is not clear in the management of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma.

SUMMARY: Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is primarily a pathologic diagnosis.

[Title] Carbon ion radiotherapy for basal cell adenocarcinoma of the head and neck: preliminary report of six cases and review of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Basal cell adenocarcinoma accounts for approximately 1.6% of all salivary gland neoplasms.

METHODS: Case records of 6 patients with diagnosis of basal cell adenocarcinoma of the head and neck, who were treated by carbon ion radiotherapy with 64.0 GyE/16 fractions in our institution, were retrospectively reviewed.

CONCLUSIONS: Carbon ion radiotherapy should be considered as an appropriate curative approach for treatment of basal cell adenocarcinoma in certain cases, particularly in cases of unresectable disease and postoperative gross residual or recurrent disease.

[Title] Scintigraphy for interpretation of malignant tumours of the head and neck: comparison of technetium-99m-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (Tc-MIBI) and thallium-201-chloride (Tl-201).

METHODS: Dynamic and static scintigraphic imaging with 99Tc(m)-MIBI and Tl-201 were performed on patients with a variety of malignant and benign tumours.

In addition to these factors, the grade of tissue differentiation and tumour size were evaluated to clarify the difference between 99Tc(m)-MIBI and Tl-201 for the diagnosis of malignant tumours of the head and neck.

CONCLUSIONS: There was no major difference between 99Tc(m)-MIBI and Tl-201scintigraphy with respect to accuracy of diagnosis of malignant tumours of the head and neck.

[Title] A study on the prognostic evaluation of carbon ion radiotherapy for head and neck adenocarcinoma with C-11 methionine PET.

PURPOSE: Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has been developed, and a phase I/II CIRT trial has been conducted in patients with adenocarcinoma in the head and neck region.

We evaluated whether the L-methyl [11C]-methionine (MET) uptake could be an early predictor for local recurrence, metastasis, and the prognosis in patients with adenocarcinoma in the head and neck region.

CONCLUSIONS: The determination of treatment effectiveness using TNR in CIRT for head and neck adenocarcinoma is an independent factor for predicting local recurrence, the incidence of metastasis, and the prognosis.

MET-PET is therefore considered to be useful for determining the treatment effectiveness in patients with head and neck adenocarcinoma undergoing CIRT.

Population-based data on head and neck cancer (HNC) stage and histological type are poorly described for England; these data are essential for clinical management and research.

Males were two to six times as likely as females to be diagnosed with HNC and there was a trend toward younger age at diagnosis over time.

[Title] Fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of head and neck masses: accuracy and diagnostic problems.

PURPOSE: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is an established technique associated with minimal complications compared with more invasive techniques such as wide core needle biopsy or open biopsy, and as such, very suitable for obtaining material in the delicate region of head and neck (H&N).

Sixty-four (12.6%) FNA specimens were inadequate for diagnosis.

The overall accuracy rate of FNA cytology, whether malignant or benign, was 91.89%, while the diagnostic accuracy for the exact type of tumor was 87.16%.

The sensitivity and specificity of FNA cytology in determining a malignant diagnosis were 91.5% and 92.85%, respectively.

[Title] Oral malignant melanomas and other head and neck neoplasms in Danish dogs--data from the Danish Veterinary Cancer Registry.

BACKGROUND: Head and neck cancers (HNC) are relatively common and often very serious diseases in both dogs and humans.

Neoplasms originating in the head and neck region are a heterogeneous group.

In humans oral malignant melanoma (OMM) is extremely rare, but represents a particular challenge since it is highly aggressive as is the canine counterpart, which thus may be of interest as a spontaneous animal model.

Also the proportions of benign and malignant neoplasms of different locations in dogs were compared using Fisher's exact test.

RESULTS: A total of 1768 cases of neoplasias (679 malignant, 826 benign, 263 unknown) were submitted.

Of these, 64 (50%) were malignant and 44 (34%) benign.

The most common types of malignant neoplasia were SCC (18; 28% of malignant), OMM (13; 20% of malignant), soft tissue sarcoma (11; 17% of malignant) and adenocarcinoma (5; 11% of malignant).

CONCLUSIONS: In the current study, the proportion of neoplasia in the head and neck region in dogs in Denmark was similar to other canine studies and significantly more common than in humans with a large proportion of malignancies.

BACKGROUND: The extent of neck dissection (ND) appropriate for necks yielding clinical evidence of metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is controversial.

In the present study, we examined the frequency, pattern, and predictive factors of level IIb LN metastases in PTC patients with clinically positive lateral neck nodes.

METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 76 PTC patients who underwent therapeutic lateral ND for the treatment of clinically positive lateral neck nodes between March 2005 and July 2008.

ND specimens were separately obtained for analyzing LN involvement with respect to neck level.

By univariate analysis, the rate of level IIb LN metastasis was significantly higher in patients with positive level IIa LNs and positive LNs in all lateral neck levels (levels IIa + III + IV) (P < .05).

Multivariate analysis showed that positive LN involvement in all lateral neck levels (IIa + III + IV) was an independent predictive factor of level IIb LN metastasis (P = .044, odds ratio = 9.692).

CONCLUSIONS: Level IIb LN dissection may be omitted in the treatment of positive neck nodes in PTC patients if multilevel involvement including level IIa involvement is absent.

[Title] Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma at the base of the tongue: an unusual location.

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a malignant neoplasm of low aggressiveness that occurs almost exclusively in the minor salivary glands, primarily those in the palate.

We report a case of PLGA that arose in the base of the tongue and subsequently metastasized to the neck.

The neck metastasis was treated with radical neck dissection and radiotherapy.

Neck dissection, margin infiltration and extra-capsular spread were significant prognostic factors.

The Authors present a retrospective study of 77 patients with primary differentiated thyroid carcinoma, submitted to thyroidectomy and neck dissection aimed at analysing distribution of nodal metastases according to Robbins' levels classification and defining their prognostic value.

All N1b cases, retrospectively reviewed (n. 77), presented clinical and histological evidence of neck nodes metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma; histological reports indicated tumour localisation and topographical distribution of metastases; papillary carcinoma was the most common type (72 cases), followed by follicular carcinoma (5 cases).

Overall 52 cases were submitted to monolateral neck dissection, 25 to bilateral neck dissection.

Treatment of the lateral neck was postero-lateral neck dissection (n. 53), selective lateral neck dissection (n. 20), modified radical and radical (n. 29).

Statistically significant prognostic factors for distant metastases and recurrence on the neck were follicular carcinoma (p < 0.01) and extra-capsular spread (p < 0.001).

In the Authors' experience, histological grade of differentiation, wide tumour excision and neck dissection, in cases of N1b well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, without residual disease (R1, R2), in the central and lateral neck, are determinant prognostic factors.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinic characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of ectopic thyroid gland (ETG) and avoid the misdiagnosis and mistherapy of ETG.

The clinical features, diagnosis and management of ETG were discussed.

RESULT: All of patients had a normal thyroid gland in the neck and underwent a surgical resection of neck mass.

Postoperative pathologic examination revealed the neck masses originated from accessory thyroid gland, of them, 1 gland enlargement, 1 adenoma and 2 adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSION: The well understanding of ETG and the detailed examination before surgical treatment of neck mass, including ultrasonography, CT or MRI, radioactive isotope scanning and fine needle aspiration biopsy, are keys to adequate diagnosis and management of ETG.

With respect to the histopathological types, 16 cases had squamous cell carcinoma, 2 cases had adenocarcinoma and 1 case had ductal carcinoma.

Seventeen patients were treated with neck dissection.

Eleven patients with neck dissection underwent radiotherapy.

The 3-year survival rate of the 17 cases whose metastatic leisions were treated with radical neck dissection was 66%.

Radiotherapy with radical neck dissection was thought more effective than radical neck dissection for local and neck control.

[Title] [Metastasis of rectal adenocarcinoma to the skull base and paranasal sinuses, with unusual clinical symptoms].

INTRODUCTION: The isolated distant metastasis of digestive tract adenocarcinoma, to the head and neck region is very rare.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The diagnosis in 71 years female patient was based on CT, endoscopic examination and biopsy, and pathologic examination, with immunohistochemical differentiation between primary intestinal type adenocarcinoma of paranasal sinuses, and metastasis of adenocarcinoma from digestive tract.

RESULTS: The immunohistochemical staining (CEA +, CK20 +, CK7 -, ChrA -, NSE -) proved the diagnosis.

The patient died 2 months after diagnosis was established.

CONCLUSIONS: The importance of differential diagnosis between the primary intestinal type adenocarcinoma in the upper respiratory tract and metastases of adenocarcinoma from digestive tract to head and neck region is crucial, due to entirely different type of treatment planning in both situations.

Sinonasal disease is one of the most common clinical head and neck pathologies.

The majority of sinonasal pathology is inflammatory with neoplasms comprising approximately 3% of all head and neck tumours.

Although sinus tumours are rare, they portend a poor prognosis, often due to advanced disease at diagnosis.

Malignant neoplasms reviewed include squamous cell carcinoma, the minor salivary gland tumour, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and olfactory neuroblastoma (esthesioneuroblastoma).

However, there is no consensus regarding the appropriate levels of the neck that need to be dissected.

Treatment options that have been advocated include the modified radical neck dissection, limited neck dissections, and selective nodal excisions.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 70 patients who underwent thyroidectomy and neck dissection for well-differentiated thyroid cancer at M. D.

RESULTS: In our series, 53% of neck specimens harbored metastatic thyroid carcinoma at level V.

Additionally, 13 level V contralateral neck dissections were performed, and 57% were found positive for metastases.

We believe that routine dissection of the level V lymph nodes should be performed in the setting of a comprehensive neck dissection for patients with lateral neck metastasis from well-differentiated thyroid cancer.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this retrospective analysis was to analyze the results of treatment of patients with cervical node metastases from carcinoma of occult primary with a policy including neck dissection and postoperative comprehensive radiotherapy.

RESULTS: The actuarial rate of neck disease control was 68.8% at 5 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 58.9%-78.7%).

On multivariate analysis, the rate of neck disease control was significantly related to lymph nodal metastatic level (P = .006).

The actuarial rate of developing head and neck primary tumors at 5 years was 8.9% (95% CI, 2.6%-15.2%).

CONCLUSIONS: Our study seems to support the use of combined-modality therapy in patients with neck metastases from carcinoma of occult primary.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence and the risk factors for occult ipsilateral or contralateral central neck lymph node (LN)metastasis in patients with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and a clinically negative neck.

There have been few prospective studies assessing accurate histopathologic information and predictive factors for the presence of metastasis to the ipsilateral or contralateral central compartment of the neck in patients with PTC and clinically negative neck nodes.

The relationships between LN metastasis to the ipsilateral or contralateral central neck compartment and clinico-pathologic factors such as age, sex, size of primary tumor, perithyroidal invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and capsular invasion were analyzed.

RESULTS: Occult central neck LN metastasis was present in 54.1% (60/111).

CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral PTC with a maximal diameter of greater than 1 cm is associated with a high rate of ipsilateral central neck LN metastasis.

[Title] Signet-ring cell (mucin-producing) adenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands: report of a case.

Salivary gland tumors account for a significant group of head and neck neoplasms.

Signet-ring cell (mucin-producing) adenocarcinoma of minor salivary glands was described by Ghannoum and Freedman in 2004.

We report a case of this extremely rare minor salivary gland neoplasm in an 18-year-old male.

As with most skin tumours the predominant region of occurrence is the head and neck, in particular the eyelids.

The time span from initial treatment up to definite diagnosis and treatment was one year.

In the second case a lymph node metastasis of the parotid gland was found seven years after initial therapy and surgically removed followed by a complete parotidectomy and neck dissection.

DISCUSSION: As the sebaceous carcinomas are difficult to differentiate from other kinds of benign and malignant eyelid diseases, a considerable delay between the initial examination and final diagnosis is not uncommon.

Depending on preoperative findings, neck dissection may be indicated.

BACKGROUND: Mitomycin C is an anti-fibroblast chemotherapeutic agent that has demonstrated promise in the treatment of head and neck cancer-related cervical stenosis.

The present study investigates whether the application of mitomycin C at the time of dilation is both safe and effective in the treatment of head and neck cancer-related upper digestive tract stricture.

METHODS: Twelve patients with progressive dysphagia and video-fluoroscopic evidence of upper digestive tract stricture after head and neck cancer treatment were dilated by Maloney or Savory dilators followed by the application of mitomycin C (0.2 mg/0.4 mL saline) to the stenotic segment for 5 minutes.

CONCLUSION: Mitomycin application appears to be a safe and potentially effective treatment for head and neck cancer-related upper digestive tract stricture.

OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to report an incidental finding of thyroid hemiagenesis in a patient who presented with a left neck mass, present a review of literature, and to discuss management of this diagnosis.

RESULTS: A 55 year old woman with a left neck mass presented to our service.

A diagnostic CT scan of the head and neck revealed an unrelated finding of an absent left thyroid lobe.

The neck mass was pathologically a granulomatous lesion on surgical pathology.

Pathology that can be associated in the remnant thyroid lobe includes adenocarcinoma, adenoma, multinodular goiter, and chronic thyroiditis.
