BACKGROUND Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous sarcoma for which data on risk factors, incidence, and survival are limited. OBJECTIVE The authors sought to establish comprehensive report the incidence of from primary DFSP. METHODS used 18 registries Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program 2000 2010. RESULTS Overall was 4.1 per million person-years steady over decade. Trunk most common anatomic site except in older men. Incidence among women 1.14 times higher...
To characterize factors that motivate faculty to participate in Simulation-Based Boot Camps (SBBC); assess whether prior exposure Medical Education (SBME) or duration (years) of practice affects this motivation.Qualitative content analysis semi-structured interviews faculty.Interviews 35 (56%) 62 eligible including demographic questions, and scripted, open-ended questions addressing motivation. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, de-identified, coded analyzed using qualitative software....
<h3>Importance</h3> Telemedicine is rapidly gaining traction as a way to reduce costs and connect patients with medical experts outside their local communities. Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) logical pathologic condition evaluate for effectiveness of remote diagnosis given its prevalence the paucity on-site otolaryngologists at many institutions. <h3>Objective</h3> To explore potential otolaryngology telemedical consultation in triaging diagnosing suspected PTA. <h3>Design, Setting,...
BACKGROUND The paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) is the repair of choice for large nasal defects involving multiple cosmetic subunits. However, PMFF may not be optimal all patients. combination a melolabial interpolation (MLIF) and sidewall serve as an alternative. OBJECTIVE To present surgical technique aesthetic outcomes alternative reconstruction lower nose. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen patients with multisubunit Mohs reconstructed alternatively were identified from 2 academic centers in...
The microbiology of skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) is evolving. We present here the first case SBO caused by Propionibacterium acnes leading to development a pseudoaneurysm internal carotid artery. Otolaryngologists should recognize this pathogen as potential cause invasive temporal bone infection optimize prompt diagnosis and treatment. Laryngoscope, 127:2337-2339, 2017.
Intraosseous hemangiomas, also referred to as bony arising within the nasal cavity are exceedingly rare with only 2 cases in ethmoid region. Despite their rarity, they important consider a patient presenting long-standing congestion. While characteristic findings on computed tomography imaging may be observed, biopsy is diagnostic. En bloc resection using transnasal endoscopic approach or without preoperative embolization treatment of choice for intranasal intraosseous hemangiomas.
9037 Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous sarcoma of intermediate malignancy. Information on risk factors, incidence, and survival DFSP limited. We sought to describe the incidence from primary in United States. Methods: used data 18 registries Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Program 2000-2010 calculate DFSP. Results: 6,817 cases were reported 2000-2010. Overall was 0.41 per 100,000 person years. Incidence remained steady over study period....
Parathyroid cyst is a rare entity that can closely mimic thyroid and brachial cleft cysts, particularly when located within the gland. Most commonly, cysts are non-functional but produce compressive symptoms. The contains watery content with elevated PTH levels, specifying parathyroid origin 1 . should be considered in differential patients neck mass. This study describes case of middle-aged woman history symptomatic intrathyroidal discovered intraoperatively.
