Detection Of A Sublingual Lymphatic Malformation

Lymphoma is the name given to a cancer that infects the lymphatic system. In a case of lymphoma the lymphatic system has cells that multiply and cannot be stopped. There are two main types of lymphoma, Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is called

These side effects are more common, although your experience may be different – the range of discomfort or pain varies, depending on your response to the medicine and your current health. Talk with your doctor or health teams – they can help you get through this phase of treatment.

Chiari Malformation (aka Arnold-Chiari Malformation) is the condition when brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. This occurs when part of the skull is unusually small or misshaped which later causes pressure on the brain and forcing it downwards. There are 3 types of Chiari malformations. Type I develops as the skull and brain are growing, type II and type III are congenital.

Epignathus is a congenital teratoid tumor that protrudes through the mouth. It is rare and often fatal. It originates from the Rathke pouch (pharynx and or bones of the base of the skull) and hard palate. It can occupy the entire oropharyngeal cavity and externalize through the mouth. Depending on the size, Epignathus can cause asphyxia and severe obstructive respiratory insufficiency in the neonate, usually fatal. Prenatal diagnosis can be performed by prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. With this, it is possible to plan the delivery in the best possible way, with a multidisciplinary team to provide specialized care and allow the beginning of the treatment of the neonate still in the delivery room with a view to the survival

Mat Johnsons novel, Pym challenges readers not only to view his work with a new set of eyes but also the work of all American literature with the understanding that the idea of Whiteness still has a very strong power over literature today. It is unfortunate that in today’s society, the pathology of Whiteness still holds a very strong presence in literary world. Literature from American authors versus literature from African American authors still continues to be segregated and handled with two different sets of criteria. Johnson’s novel engages in different aspects of the argument presented in Toni Morrison’s work entitled Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination. One of the main ideals that Pym engages in is the thought

Major threat? A pasty white material sometimes drain from the cyst and it has a foul odor.

Occurrence of lymphedema and distichiasis at puberty comprise the clinical diagnostic criteria.31 In LDS, germline mutations in forkhead transcription factor C2 (FOXC2) gene mutations have been implicated.31 This gene is integral in the development of lymphatic vasculature.32 In patients with FOXC2 mutation, 100% will have superficial vein incompetence while a third will have deep vein incompetence.33 The resulting venous stasis explains the edema. In a very recent study, even mutations FOXC1 were noted to cause abnormal lymphatic vessel morphogenesis.34 This discovery recognizes both FOXC1 and FOXC2 as fundamental controllers of lymphangiogenesis and demonstrates another potential target for the management of

Wilms tumor is a cancer that starts in one, or rarely, both kidneys. It is most often found in children about three years old, and is uncommon in children older than six. It can show up as a swelling or lump in the belly. This type of cancer accounts for about 5% of childhood cancers (American Cancer Society, 2010).

The etiology of ranula is still unknown; nevertheless, it has been described that it associated with congenital anomalies, trauma, and disease of the sublingual gland [10].

components, often with an abnormal proportion (malformation). Grossly , a well demarcated, sometimes lobulated mass, often rubbery greyish-white to yellow cut surface, resembling fibroadenoma or lipoma. (Moinfar, 2007)

I suggested that she have this removed in ENT, and evaluated there. We have arranged that for Friday.

The advent of sialendoscopy has added additional options to the diagnosis and management of non-neoplastic salivary pathology. Initially, sialendoscopy was created for diagnostic evaluation of the salivary glands and ductal system as well as treatment of obstruction through the removal of sialoliths or dilation of

Salivary gland tumors are a morphologically diverse group of neoplasms, which may present considerable diagnostic and management challenges for the pathologist and surgeon. Salivary gland tumors are rare with an overall incidence in the western world of about 2.5 to 3.0 per 100,000 per year. About 80% of all lesions are benign; hence salivary malignancies are particularly rare, comprising less than 0.5% of all malignancies and about 5% of cancers in the head and neck. (1)

Tumors are one of the most feared diseases of our time. Many people upon hearing the word “tumor” immediately resonate to the conclusion of it being cancer, which is not necessarily true. Tumors fall into to two main types, benign and malignant. Although they are considerably different in tissue invasion, their nature that makes them distinct and symptoms, they are also quite similar in the way they recur in the same location, growth size and their health risks.
