Accuracy and definitive interpretation of preoperative technetium 99m sestamibi imaging based on the discipline of the reader
Ayesha N. Khalid, Christopher S. Hollenbeak, Bruce W. Higginbotham, Brendan C. Stack Jr. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:59:00 -0000
Technetium 99m sestamibi scans have become a principal means of localizing parathyroid adenomas. Its accuracy and reliability has allowed for the proliferation of minimal access parathyroidectomy. Localizing interpretation of these scans often drives referral of hyperparathyroid patients for surgery. Interpretation of these scans may differ between nuclear medicine physicians and surgeons.We reviewed patients (N = 65) with digital images from an academic medical center with the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism. We assessed the willingness to define an adenoma's location, the interrater reliability, and the accuracy of technetium (Tc-99m) sestamibi read by a surgeon and a nuclear medicine physician.There was poor correlation between both readers for assessment of quality of images (k = 0.54, 0.07) but very good correlation for adenoma location (k = 0.81).Both readers had good accuracy in predicting the location of the parathyroid adenoma. The surgeon was more likely to call a scan positive. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2009
Controversies in the management of retromolar trigone carcinoma
Tareck Ayad, Louis Guertin, Denis Soulières, Manon Belair, Stéphane Temam, Phuc Felix Nguyen-Tân Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:59:00 -0000
Our objective is to discuss the current controversies that surround the management of retromolar trigone (RMT) cancer. We conducted this literature review to discuss trigone cancer. RTM and anterior pillar cancers should be studied separately. Preoperative clinical and radiographic assessments need to be further investigated to establish their reliability at predicting bone invasion. In the absence of suspicion of bone invasion, surgery and radiotherapy seem to give similar results, but recent reports indicate a greater benefit if they are used in combination. Some authors have advocated systematic segmental resection for all RMT cancers but marginal mandibulectomy is a reasonable option in selected cases. Standard treatment for RMT cancers with N0 necks is selective neck dissection or radiation therapy, depending on the modality of treatment of the primary. Allowing a better understanding of the evolution of RMT cancer and its response to different treatment modalities requires efforts to report different institutional experience with this rare tumor. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Location of ectopic adrenocortical hormone-secreting tumors causing Cushing's syndrome in the paranasal sinuses
Israel Hodish, Thomas J. Giordano, Monica N. Starkman, David E. Schteingart Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:59:00 -0000
The majority of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting tumors are localized in the chest or abdomen. Occasionally, these tumors are found in the paranasal sinuses.We present 2 unusual cases of ectopic ACTH syndrome whose ACTH-secreting tumors were localized in the paranasal sinuses and describe their biochemical and radiological presentation.The first patient had an ACTH-secreting olphactory neuroblastoma originating in the ethmoid sinuses. The second patient had a clinical course and biochemical findings indistinguishable from pituitary ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome, except for negative petrosal sinus sampling. Head imaging showed a "polyp" in the left maxillary sinus-secreting ACTH. Both patients went into remission following surgicalresection and recovered normal pituitary-adrenal axis function.Ectopic ACTH secretion may originate from lesions in the paranasal sinuses. This accessible location allows for direct immunohistochemical diagnosis with ACTH staining. Surgical resection/radiation therapy can result in complete remission of the disease and restoration of normal pituitary-adrenal function. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2009.
Efficacy of diagnostic upper node evaluation during (salvage) laryngectomy for supraglottic carcinoma
Ronald J. E. Pennings, Henri A. M. Marres, Annemarie den Heeten, Frank J. A. van den Hoogen Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:59:00 -0000
The effectiveness of selective upper node dissection or inspection during laryngectomy for supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma was evaluated. These diagnostic procedures aimed to cause less morbidity than elective neck dissection in patients with a clinically N0 neck.In 93 patients, 166 clinically N0 necks (73 bilateral and 20 contralateral) were evaluated. Lymph nodes at levels II and III were inspected or dissected and directly sent in for frozen section histopathology. This way, occult neck metastases were identified and treated by neck dissection.Occult neck metastases were identified in 19% of the examined necks (31/166). Regional recurrence rate in the postoperative N0 necks was 0%, and 10% in the postoperative N+ necks.Selective upper node dissection and inspection during laryngectomy reduced the need for an elective neck dissection with its morbidity in the clinically N0 neck. In addition, it selects the patients who need such extensive treatment. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2009.
