Abstract

stenosis. She ultimately survived 14 years without recurrence of her laryngeal cancer but eventually developed a new nonsmall cell lung cancer that invaded her pulmonary artery and mediastinum and proved fatal.Discussion | In the case of known scleroderma, there is ample data to show that radiation complications are increased in most patients, and radiation oncologists must be highly mindful of this, particularly when irradiation will encompass important functional and quality-of-life organs such as the larynx. 1-3 However, if patient desire to attempt larynx preservation prevails, one can carefully consider radiation therapy with a keen eye to treatment field size reduction to limit the total volume of normal tissue receiving radiation. Informed consent is paramount for patients with scleroderma who may receive radiation therapy, so that they understand the potential benefits and significant toxic effects, and participate actively in the treatment-decision process.

Lymphoma of the Sublingual Gland: Clinical, Morphological, Histopathological, and Genetic Characterization

“…In this case report our research group presents three rare cases of sublingual gland lymphomas, significantly contributing to the number of cases reported worldwide. Table 1 provides an overview of demographic, clinical presentation, subtype, stage, treatment, and outcome of the present three cases along with previously published sublingual gland lymphomas (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Overall, the most common clinical presentation was a painless swelling of the floor of the mouth with no signs of affected overlying mucosa ( Table 1).…”
