The stylomastoid artery as an anatomical landmark to the facial nerve during parotid surgery: a clinico-anatomic study.

26 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The identification of the facial nerve can be difficult in a bloody operative field or by an incision that limits exposure; hence anatomical landmarks and adequate operative exposure can aid such identification and preservation. In this ... Read more...

Expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2, MMP-9 and their tissue inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in the epithelium and stroma of salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas.

30 Aug 2009 AIMS: The balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) is involved in the morphogenesis of normal salivary gland as well as in the mechanisms of tumour invasion and metastasis. The role of MMPs and TIMPs in ... Read more...

Multiple IgG4-related sclerosing lesions in the maxillary sinus, parotid gland and nasal septum.

30 Aug 2009 IgG4-related sclerosing disease is recognized as a distinct clinicopathological entity. It is well known that this disease can occur in the salivary, lacrimal and pituitary glands, in the head and neck region. The nasal cavity is an extremely rare ... Read more...
