Optical coherence tomography and autofluorescence imaging of human tonsil. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
For the first time, we present co-registered autofluorescence imaging and optical coherence tomography (AF/OCT) of excised human palatine tonsils to evaluate the capabilities of OCT to visualize tonsil tissue components. Despite limited penetration depth,

Can Shear Wave Elastography Help Differentiate Acute Tonsillitis from Normal Tonsils in Pediatric Patients: A Prospective Preliminary Study

open access: yesChildren, 2023
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to quantify the elasticity/stiffness of any tissue. There are normative SWE studies on tonsils in healthy children in the literature.

Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Glossotonsillar Sulcus Involvement Conveys an Unfavorable Oncological Outcome

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is widely used in management of early‐stage primary oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Tumors involving the glossotonsillar sulcus (GTS) are hypothesized to confer worse oncological outcomes compared to those situated in the rest of the oropharynx, with a paucity of evidence to support ...

Ultrasonic Image Characteristics of Palatine Tonsils in Healthy Children and Analysis of Factors Influencing Image Quality

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 436-444, March/April 2025.
The ultrasound detection rate of the palatine tonsils in children was good. There are characteristic ultrasonic image manifestations. Tonsil ultrasound image quality is affected by individual and local factors. ABSTRACT Objective To explore the ultrasonic image characteristics of palatine tonsils in healthy children and the factors affecting image ...

A rare tonsillar metastasis of Merkel cell carcinoma: A case report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2023
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) metastasis to the tonsil is extremely rare with five published cases. We report the case of a patient with palatine tonsillar MCC metastasis, who presented without oropharyngeal symptoms, which contrast prior reported cases.

Transoral Robotic Surgery in Head and Neck Oncology: A Scoping Review of Evidence, Technological Advancements, and Future Trajectories

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robotic surgery has transformed head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on transoral robotic surgery (TORS), focusing on applications, limitations, and future directions. Following PRISMA‐ScR guidelines, this review used the PCC framework (Population: HNC patients; Concept: technological advancements ...

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.

How I Do It: Nasoseptal Flap for Reconstruction of Isolated Soft Palate Defect

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A vascularized nasoseptal flap (NSF) provides a novel transnasal option for repairing soft palatal fistulas when traditional transoral flaps have failed or are unavailable, potentially avoiding the morbidity of regional or free tissue transfer. In the current patient who had an 8 × 6 mm soft palatal fistula, the NSF was harvested from the septum and ...
