Purpose: This study examined the effects of the forward head posture and tension type headache on neck movement among office workers. Methods: The subjects were 6 male and 21 female patients composed of a forward head posture group, forward head posture group with a tension type headache and a normal group. Each group consisted of 2 males and 7 females. The cranio-vertebral angle of the head and the angle of motion of the neck were measured. SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis and one-way ANOVA was performed for the mean comparison of the neck movements in the three groups. Results: The participants had a limitation in the movement of all necks between the forward head posture group and forward head posture with tension type headache group compared to the normal subjects. The forward head posture with tension headache group had limited neck extension and lateral bending compared to the forward head posture group. Conclusion: Office workers have limitations in the movement of the neck when they are accompanied by forward head posture and tension headache. In particular, when accompanied with a tension headache, there is a restriction on the neck extension and side bending. This study is expected to provide basic data for the relief of tension headache and the treatment of forward head posture in office workers.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess EGFR and p53 expression in head and neck tumors among Sudanese patients using immunohistochemistry. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was performed on 150 samples from patients diagnosed with HNCs as well as 50 from individuals with benign head and neck tumors. EGFR and p53 expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results: EGFR was expressed in 126/150 (84%) of HNCS and 6/50 (12%) benign head and neck tumors where as p53 was expressed in 29/150 (19.3%) of HNCs and 2/50 (4%) of benign head and neck tumors, with significance at p values of 0.001 and 0.009 respectively. Conclusions: There is a significant association between EGFR, P53 expression and head and neck cancers among Sudanese patients.

The case report of migrating ingested fish bone presenting as an unresolving inflamed neck mass is rare. The diagnosis must be suspected in a patient with an unresolving inflamed cutaneous lesion, especially one with a punctum, the tenderness of the lesion elicited on swallowing and the presence of a palpable subcutaneous neck mass. In such a patient, a history of recent foreign body ingestion must be actively sought. An accurate early diagnosis of this easily treatable condition is desirable because it could avert unnecessary delays, inconveniences, anxiety, costs, and surgery. The authors experienced a case of lateral neck mass resulting from the migration of a fish bone which was successfully removed by surgical exploration and made a report with a review of literature.

Background/Objectives: Cancers of the abdominal or pelvic organ rarely metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes. Although it indicates distant metastasis, perceivable prolongation of survival or cure may be possible in selected cases. We sought to identify patients with cervical metastasis from cancers below the diaphragm and identify patients who may benefit from aggressive treatment. Materials & Methods: From 2009 to 2017, patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic cervical lymph nodes originating from below the diaphragm were included for analysis. Patient demographics, cancer characteristics, treatment course, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results: 208 patients were identified. Left supraclavicular node (Virchow's node) was the most frequently involved. Irrespective of treatment, survival for uterine cervical and ovarian cancers was significantly longer than that of other primaries. Patients with isolated cervical metastasis (oligometastasis) had significantly longer median survival compared to patients with concomitant bone, lung, brain, and mediastinal metastases. Conclusion: Although cervical metastasis from cancers of the abdominal and pelvic organ represent distant metastasis, patients with uterine cervix and ovary primary and oligometastatic lesions may benefit from aggressive treatment. Prudent patient selection and further investigation is warranted.

Background and Objectives : The objective of this study was to investigate clinical factors associated with recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Materials and Methods : We performed a retrospective review of 112 diagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, treated concurrent chemo-radiotherapy(CCRT) and had complete response from March 1, 1995, to March 31, 2012. Results : Of the recurrent NPC patients, patients received 2nd line chemotherapy had more recurrence within 2 years(p=0.010). Especially, patients received 2nd line chemotherapy longer than 4 months tend to have recurrence early(p=0.035). Other factors are not different between recurrent and non-recurrent NPC patients. Conclusion : The presence and the duration of 2nd line chemotherapy are associated with early recurrence.

Neurilemmoma is a relatively rare benign tumor which may be derived from nerve sheath of the peripheral, sympathetic and cranial nerve except the optic nerve and olfactory nerve. And it is a characteristically solitary and well-encapsulated mass. About 25% of neurilemmoma occurs in the head and neck region and the acoustic nerve is most frequently involved, but neurilemmoma of the larynx is rare. Recently, we experienced a case of neurilemmoma occurred in the right aryepiglottic fold of the larynx. The tumor was successfully removed by transoral approach under direct laryngoscope. So we report this case with literature review.

Background : The purpose of this study is to review our experience with the variable applications of the facial artery muscolomucosal(FAMM) flap for oral cavity reconstruction following treatment for head and neck malignancies. Methods : We performed retrospect medical record review from January 2012 to June 2013. This flap technique was applied in 3 patients to reconstruct the defects of oral cavity induced by treatment for head and neck malignancies. Results : The defects and fibrosis occurred due to variable causes related to previous treatment for head and neck malignancies such as tumor resection and chemoradiation. Two patient suffered from defect on hard and soft palate and one patient suffered from trismus related to fibrotic scar band. We performed oral cavity reconstruction using FAMM flap even though these all patients had history of neck dissection surgery or radiation therapy. Conclusion : FAMM flap is an ideal option for reconstruction following treatment not only for primary tumor resection but also for defects induced by variable causes. Preoperative radiation and neck dissection surgery, which are previously considered as some challenges, are no longer contraindication in our cases.

Although regional and myocutaneous flaps are still the standard in head and neck reconstruction. The capacity to transfer distant tissues by microsurgical technique expands the reconstructive surgeon's ability to restore severe deformities of the head and neck. From 1981 to 1985, thirteen patients with extensive defects of the head and neck after extirpative surgery of tumor have been reconstructed utilizing the technique of microsurgical composite tissue transplantation. In this series of patients, six presented with reconstructions in the different region of the head and neck with review of literatures. The results of case analysis are summarized as follows: 1) Transplantation was successful in twelve among thirteen patients (92%). 2) Seven patients presented with malignancy and six with benign tumor. 3) Frequent sites of reconstruction were face and mandible. 4) Fourteen free composite tissue transplantations for reconstruction of thirteen patients were obtained six different tissue compositions from eight different donor sites. 5) The recipient artery and vein was most often superficial temporal or facial vessels. 6) The average time of operation was ten hours.

Small cell carcinoma of larynx has been reported as a rare disease occurring in 0.5% of larynx cancer. This tumor is known as one of the most lethal of all malignancies and associated with early recurrence and distant metastasis, leading into death. We experienced a case of a 70-year old male patient, who had admitted for sore throat and dysphagia and diagnosed as small cell carcinoma of larynx. We present small cell carcinoma of larynx with a brief review of literature.
