Fine-needle aspiration of dedifferentiated acinic cell carcinoma: Report of a case with cyto-histological correlation.

29 Sep 2009 Dedifferentiated Acinic Cell Carcinoma (DAcCC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy. It has a high tendency to recur and metastasize and thus has a poor prognosis. So far, to our knowledge, only one case of DAcCC has been reported in the cytology ... Read more...

Differentiation between superficial and deep lobe parotid tumors by magnetic resonance imaging: usefulness of the parotid duct criterion.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The location of a parotid tumor affects the choice of surgery, and there is a risk of damaging the facial nerve during surgery. Thus, differentiation between superficial and deep lobe parotid tumors is important for appropriate surgical ... Read more...

[Electrical stimulation of the facial nerve with a prognostic function in parotid surgery]

30 Jul 2009 INTRODUCTION: Continuous electromyography during parotidectomies and direct stimulation of the facial nerve as an intraoperative identification technique significantly lower the rate of post-operative morbidity. AIM: To determine the usefulness of ... Read more...
