The aim of this study is to examine the clinical and pathological attributes of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis....
We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinicopathologic characteristics of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis in 14 patients. The medical records and imaging data obtained between March 2004 and Febru...
Results indicate a 100% female predominance, with chief complaints including hearing loss, postnasal drip, and nasal obstruction. Cervical lymphadenopathy occurred in 21.4% of patients. Chest radiogra...
We studied 14 cases of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, mostly in females, with common ear and nose symptoms. Lesions were typically visible on nasopharyngeal endoscopy, and endoscopically bulging mass-li...
Nasopharyngeal amyloidoma is a rare, locally aggressive tumor that has been reported in the English literature in only 38 cases to date, most of which were in the form of case reports. The present stu...
We report three cases of nasopharyngeal amyloidoma diagnosed in our hospital following comprehensive medical examination and review the current literature on all cases of nasopharyngeal amyloidoma fro...
None of the three patients had systemic amyloidosis. CT and nasal endoscopy showed irregular masses obstructing the nasopharyngeal cavity. Congo red staining confirmed the deposition of amyloid, and i...
Early clinical and pathological diagnosis is crucial, and surgical intervention is the primary treatment option for this disease. Although patients usually have a favorable prognosis, long-term monito...
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) was characterized by single or multiple masses in organs, which may mimic various inflammatory and malignant diseases. Here, we summarize 4 patients with aggressive mani...
Four patients were included in our series. The age ranged from 53 to 64 years old, and the duration of the disease ranged from 4 to 6 months. The chief complaints included headache, rhinorrhea, or dip...
The described case is highly similar to the clinical manifestations of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Although pathology is the gold standard, there are still limitations. Serological IgG4 can help confirm...
To describe the carriage rate, serotype distribution, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of...
A NP swab sample was collected among four annual cohorts of healthy children at routine well-child visits....
The highest...
We aimed to assess the prevalence of nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage and to determine serotype distribution, antibiotic susceptibility patterns, and evolutionary dynamics of...
This study presents a rare case of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) with nasal and nasopharyngeal involvement, illustrating the complexities in diagnosing this enigmatic histiocytic disorder. RDD, characte...
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of cancer that originates from the mucosal lining of the nasopharynx and can invade and spread. Although contemporary chemoradiotherapy effectively manages the...
Emergence of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed a huge threat to public health. Rapid and reliable test to diagnose infected subjects is crucial for disease spread control. We deve...
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, extensive research has been conducted on SARS-COV-2 to elucidate its genome, prognosis, and possible treatments. However, few looked at the microbial markers that cou...
The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in post-irradiated patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is unknown....
In a cross-sectional study, 31 NPC and 12 control patients completed questionnaires for GERD/LPR before esophageal manometry and 24-h pH monitoring. The DeMeester score and reflux finding score (RFS) ...
51.6% of NPC and 8.3% of control patients, and 77.4% of NPC and 33% of control patients, were GERD-positive and LPR-positive, respectively. The GERD/LPR questionnaire failed to identify either conditi...
A high prevalence of GERD/LPR in patients with post-irradiated NPC exists, but reflux symptoms are inadequate for diagnosis....
