Peripheral osteoma of the mandible mimicking a parotid mass.

We report the case of a peripheral osteoma mimicking a benign tumor in the left parotid gland of a 75-year-old woman. The clinical presentation of the painless mass on the lateral surface of the mandibular ascending ramus was suggestive of a benign parotid tumor such as a pleomorphic adenoma. It was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) and further delineated using 3D spiral CT scanning. Mandibular osteoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of parotid masses, which can be revealed by conventional radiographs.

Histologic effects of injection snoreplasty and radiofrequency in the rat soft palate.

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to compare the effects of radiofrequency and injection snoreplasty on the histological structure of the soft palate in an animal model. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: This is a blinded, controlled histologic evaluation of rat soft palates that underwent separate palatal interventions. Fifty rats were divided into 5 groups of 10 rats (Group 1 = injection snoreplasty [IS], Group 2 = IS + steroid, Group 3 = saline injection, Group 4 = radiofrequency ablation [RFA], and Group 5 = no intervention). The animals were sacrificed after 24 hours, 1 week, 3 weeks, and 5 weeks. Then the soft palates were subjected to histological analysis. RESULTS: Histological analysis demonstrated normal remucosalization in all specimens, with fibrosis increased in Group 1. Interstitial edema was minimal in Group 2. Keratinization was most apparent in Group 4. CONCLUSION: Radiofrequency and injection snoreplasty stiffen the rat soft palate compared with controls.

Juvenile spring eruption: a report of two cases.

Juvenile spring eruption is a photodermatosis characterized by the development of papules and vesicles on the light-exposed helix of the ears after sun exposure, usually in the springtime. It mainly affects boys and young male adults, and has a tendency to occur in the form of small epidemics. We report an outbreak in a group of soldiers who were performing military exercises during cold and sunny weather during a midwinter season. The clinicopathologic features and laboratory test results are described in two of these cases.

Case report: Cochlear implant magnet migration.

A 13-month-old cochlear implant recipient underwent routine device activation. Three months postoperatively, the patient sustained a fall with contact to the area of the implant without immediate complication. Ten months postoperatively, the position of the external coil appeared to have moved and the patient did not seem to be responding as well to sound. Audiological testing could not elicit normal device impedances. AP and lateral plain radiographs of the skull revealed migration of the internal magnet from its position within the internal coil to a position over the receiver/stimulator. This is the first known published case of cochlear implant magnet migration.
