“…nodular fibroblastic proliferation of the dermis. Several familial syndromes have been associated with keloid scars including Rubinstein-Taybi 7 and Goeminne syndrome 8 and conjunctivo-corneal dystrophy 9 but none of these conditions was found in any of our cases. Patient 2 had a uterine fibroid, a benign fibrous growth which like keloids seems most common in dark-skinned individuals and tends to recur after treatment.…”

“…The relative accuracy of these techniques is largely based on evaluation of human tumors in patients. The clinical utility of ultrasound in mucosal head and neck cancer remains controversial and has not been widely accepted in clinical evaluation with the exception of ultrasoundguided fi ne-needle aspiration [1,2] . Therefore, ultrasound data were compared to histological measurements to validate the use of ultrasound to assess oral cavity tumors in mice.…”

Background: The murine orthotopic oral cavity tumor model allows evaluation of tumor growth and invasion. Currently, serial measurements of tissue growth are difficult to obtain since invasive procedures or animal sacrifice is necessary to evaluate tumor size. High-resolution ultrasound was evaluated as a noninvasive method to monitor tumor size in vivo. Methods: Sixteen immunodeficient mice, age 9 weeks, were injected transcervically with a human squamous cell carcinoma cell line into the tongue, and tumor volume was assessed by high-frequency ultrasound at 11 days. The animals were subsequently sacrificed and the tumors processed for histology. Tumor size was then calculated by caliper measurement in two dimensions. Results: Tumor dimensions obtained using ultrasound were found to significantly correlate with the histologic measurements (Spearman coefficient 0.90, p < 0.0001). Tumor dimensions were on average larger using ultrasound versus histologic measurements, although this was not significantly different than zero (95% confidence interval –13.96 to 62.37 mm²). Conclusions: High-resolution ultrasound accurately measures tumor volume in the murine orthotopic oral cavity tumor model without sacrifice.

“…1,3,9,10 More recent reports describing FNA of head and neck lesions have shown these previous beliefs to be unfounded. 11,12 With this paradigm shift and advances in endoscopic ultrasonography-FNA 7,13,14 and percutaneous CTguided biopsy, 15 sampling of the PTS has become a common first step in diagnosis. 16 In 23 (37%) malignant cases in our cohort, FNA of the PTS space was the first diagnostic measure to determine an underlying malignancy.…”
