A case of endometriosis involving the superficial femoral lymphatic chain is presented. We feel that it is significant due to the rare location and the implications for diagnosis and therapy. It is our opinion that endometriosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of groin masses in menstruating women. A brief review of pertinent literature is also presented.

Postoperative Radiation Therapy for Parotid Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

Case Reports in Oncological Medicine (2014)

Meghan Olsen Allen O. Mitchell Edward F. Miles

Salivary gland cancers are rare and represent approximately 5% of all head and neck cancers and only 0.3% of all malignancies. The majority (75%) of salivary gland tumors occur in the parotid gland, and while benign lesions are more common, mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) makes up 40-50% of malignant parotid gland tumors. No randomized controlled trials exist regarding the role of adjuvant radiation for patients who undergo surgical resection of low-grade MECs. Herein, we report two cases of successful postoperative radiation therapy in low-grade, pT2N0 MEC of the parotid gland. The role of adjuvant radiation therapy for patients with MEC of the parotid gland is based on data from institution reviews and lacks data from randomized controlled trials. Per our review of the literature, the pathological findings of positive surgical margins and/or perineural invasion in two patients with low-grade MEC of the parotid gland warranted adjuvant radiation for improved local control after partial parotidectomy. Both patients tolerated postoperative radiation therapy with only mild side effects and, at last follow-up, five years after completion of therapy, had no clinical or radiographic evidence of either local recurrence or distant metastasis.

Left-Sided Facial Pain, Fullness, and Trismus

JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery (2017)

A young man had left-sided facial pain, fullness, trismus, and decreased acuity in his left lower visual field; physical examination revealed a mass that extended inferiorly to the zygoma into the buccal cavity and posterolaterally to the left superior molars. What is your diagnosis?
