Oral tonsil in the floor of mouth: Ectopic oral tonsillar tissue simulating benign neoplasms [PDF]

open access: yesOral Science International, 2012
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]

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
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 ...

Epigenetic Activation of SOX11 in Lymphoid Neoplasms by Histone Modifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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 ...

Human papillomavirus-associated subsequent malignancies among long-term survivors of pediatric and young adult cancers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
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
