Oral tonsil in the floor of mouth: Ectopic oral tonsillar tissue simulating benign neoplasms [PDF]
AbstractOral tonsils, ectopic sublingual tonsillar tissue, manifest as an asymptomatic, nonulcerated, freely movable nodule. We present a case of a 28‐year‐old female with ectopic tonsillar tissue in the anterior floor of the mouth. The lesion was totally removed under local anesthesia.

Risk-Stratified Bilateral Tonsillectomy for Unilateral HPV-Associated Tonsillar SCC: Oncologic and Functional Outcomes From a Single Institution. [PDF]
The role of contralateral tonsillectomy in unilateral HPV+ tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is debated. Among 163 patients with p16‐positive TSCC, occult synchronous contralateral second primary malignancies clustered among patients with high‐risk preoperative features (20.0%) compared with low‐risk patients (6.7%, number needed to treat 14 ...

An unusual pigmented tonsil neoplasm presenting to Head & Neck Clinic: a case report and literature review of primary tonsillar malignant mucosal melanoma [PDF]
Abstract Primary mucosal melanoma of the tonsil is rare, with 27 reported cases. Careful diagnosis is necessary, as the tonsil is more often a site of metastatic melanoma from a cutaneous primary tumour. In this report, we present a case of primary right tonsillar mucosal melanoma with widespread metastasis in a 31-year-old man who ...

Epigenetic Activation of SOX11 in Lymphoid Neoplasms by Histone Modifications [PDF]
Recent studies have shown aberrant expression of SOX11 in various types of aggressive B-cell neoplasms. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms leading to such deregulation, we performed a comprehensive SOX11 gene expression and epigenetic study in stem ...

Are Histologic Studies of Adenotonsillectomy Really Necessary?
Introduction In most ear, nose, and throat services, it is routine to send the material extracted from tonsillectomy for histologic study to research malignancy, to analyze suspect material, or to provide medical-legal documentation.

Human papillomavirus-associated subsequent malignancies among long-term survivors of pediatric and young adult cancers. [PDF]
Long-term survivors of pediatric and young adult (PAYA) cancers have a high incidence of subsequent neoplasms, but few risk factors other than cancer treatment have been identified. We aimed to describe the burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated
