Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of head and neck Ewing sarcoma (ES) concerning patients' demographic and clinical features, histopathological findings, treatment, follow-up, and survival rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was undertaken in four databases. Articles describing case reports or case series were included. Outcomes were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method along with Cox regression. RESULTS The search yielded 186 studies describing 227 ES cases. The mean age was 22.7 years, and males were slightly more affected. Interestingly, more than half the cases were diagnosed up to 20 years. The respiratory tract was the most reported site, followed by the jawbones. Clinically, symptomatic swelling or nodules were described, with a mean duration of 4 months. Management involved multimodal treatment regimens. Local recurrence, lymph node and distant metastasis were observed in 10.7%, 12.6%, and 20.3% of cases, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that older patients with distant metastasis had a lower overall survival rate (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provides an overall view of head and neck ES that can assist oral and maxillofacial pathologists with the diagnosis and extend the knowledge of surgeons and oncologists about this condition.

Abstract
The purpose to the present study is to research the association between age at surgery and survival outcomes of patients with sarcoma in head and neck. Twenty-six patients with head and neck sarcoma who underwent by surgery from 2003 to 2017 were enrolled in the present observation study. Patients who did not undergo chemotherapy were significantly older age at surgery by Mann-Whitney U test. Fifty-five was the cutoff age that predicted death by receiver operating curve analysis. Shorter survival rates of overall, disease-specific, local recurrence-free and disease-free were associated with older age by log-rank test. Age (≥55 years/<55 years) was correlated with shorter overall survival by multivariate analysis of Cox's proportional hazards model adjusting with chemotherapy (absence/presence). In conclusion, older age predicts worse overall survival in head and neck sarcoma.

Abstract
Objectives Head and neck soft tissue sarcomas (HNSTSs) are a heterogeneous group of rare tumors. Surgical resection with negative margins remains the standard primary treatment for patients with HNSTS. The role of chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) remains controversial. In this multicenter study, we aimed to demonstrate the real-world assessing prognostic factors and the effect of adjuvant treatment modalities in adult patients with HNSTS treated with upfront surgery. Methods We included a total of 47 patients who underwent curative-intent resection of a primary HNSTS between 2000 and 2019. Results The median follow-up was 29 months. The median age of patients was 51 years, and 66% of patients were male. The median relapse-free survival (RFS) of the study population was 31 months (range: 1.0-61.1 months), and the median overall survival (OS) was 115 months (range: 60.8-169.2 months). The univariable analysis revealed that treatment modalities showed a significant impact on RFS (p = 0.021); however, no difference was found in its impact on OS (p = 0.137). R0 resection did not showed impact on RFS (p = 0.130), but a significant association was found with OS (p = 0.004). In multivariable analysis, T stage of the tumor (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.834; 95% CI: 1.631-9.008; p = 0.002) and treatment with surgery and sequential RT and CT (HR: 0.115; 95% CI: 0.035-0.371; p < 0.001) were independent factors associated with RFS. R0 resection was independently associated with OS (HR: 4.902; 95% CI: 1.301-18.465; p = 0.019). Conclusion Our study revealed that R0 resection improved OS, and T3-4 stage of tumor was a negative independent factor for RFS in surgically resected HNSTS patients. The use of sequential CT and RT after resection was associated with a better RFS, which emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary evaluation of the treatment of HNSTS. Randomized prospective studies are needed

Malignant Lesions Mimicking Endodontic Pathoses Lesion: A Systematic Review. J Endod 2020; 47:178-188. [PMID: 32918962 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2020.08.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2020] [Revised: 08/14/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malignant nonendodontic periapical lesions represent a rare diagnosis, in which few case have been reported about this condition. Due to the low occurrence and little exploration of this subject, serious errors of diagnosis are observed in the oral medicine services. In this sense, the purpose of the present review was to integrate the information on the record published on malignant lesions that mimic endodontic pathoses into a comprehensive analysis of their clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features. METHODS An online search was made in March 2020 in the following databases: Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Eligibility criteria included publications having enough clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic information to confirm the diagnosis. Data were assessed descriptively. RESULTS Forty-nine publications from 16 countries comprising 60 cases were included. There is a nearly equal occurrence rate between males and females (male/female ratio is 49.15%/50.84%) with a mean age of 46.56 years. The lesions were more prevalent in the posterior mandibles (40.69%), and, radiographically, they were unilocular radiolucent. Histopathologic analysis showed metastasis (26.67%) as the most prevalent lesion followed by salivary gland malignant disease (25%). CONCLUSIONS The present systematic review revealed several histologic types of malignant periapical lesions that could be mimicking endodontic pathoses. Because these lesions usually do not show clinical or radiologic features of malignant alteration, clinicians should consider these hypotheses in their routine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection of head and neck (H&N) neoplasms requiring osseous reconstruction have underdefined complication profiles. This study aimed to characterize postoperative outcomes of patients with H&N neoplasia undergoing osteocutaneous flap (OCF) or bare bone flap (BBF) reconstructions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) 2005-2017 databases. Queried for diagnosis and procedural codes extracted patients with H&N neoplasms undergoing BBF or OCF reconstruction. Postoperative complications were evaluated. Multivariable regression generated adjusted odds ratios. RESULTS A cohort of 746 patients were identified. Of reconstructions, 24.9% (n = 186/746) were BBFs while 75.1% (n = 560/746) were OCFs. 58.1% of the BBF cohort and 59.9% of the OCF cohort experienced an all-cause complication (p = .654). Sub-stratified, 24.2% of BBF and 17.5% of OCF patients experienced a wound complication (p = .045). Regression analysis demonstrated no difference in risk for medical complications between cohorts. However, patients receiving OCFs had a decreased likelihood of developing a wound complication (OR 0.652; 95%CI 0.430-0.989; p = .044) compared to patients receiving BBFs. CONCLUSION The incidence of complications following osseous reconstruction of the H&N is considerable. Although several complication outcomes do not seem to differ between BBF or OCF reconstructions, OCFs is associated with a decreased likelihood of wound complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to analyze the demographics, clinicopathological, treatment, and survival characteristics of head and neck sarcomas diagnosed in a reference center in the Brazilian Northeast. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study reviewed the clinical records of patients with head and neck sarcomas. Epidemiologic data consisted in clinical location, age, gender, histopathological diagnosis, clinical TNM staging and treatment. Outcome variables were local recurrence and survival. The statistical analyses were performed by a binary logistic regression analysis. The survival analysis was assessed through the Kaplan-Meier curve. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients with head and neck sarcomas (male 39; female 30) were analyzed. The most common histologic subtypes were rhabdomyosarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma, and pleomorphic sarcoma. The mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 38.1 years old. A total of 31 patient died (sarcoma-related death) up to the end of the follow-up, with a mean follow-up rate of 1.63 years. A multivariate analysis revealed that anatomical site, treatment modality, histopathological diagnosis, and clinical stage of the disease were associated with specific survival, reaching statistical significance. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the impact of important clinical-pathological parameters on the overall prognosis of head and neck sarcomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal sarcomas are rare and heterogeneous in nature. Continuously collecting data influencing the prognosis is fundamental for optimizing therapeutic assessment of this highly destructive neoplasm. METHODS We conducted a single-institution retrospective cohort study considering 27 patients with sinonasal sarcoma. RESULTS The overall survival (OS) rates for 1 year and 5 years were calculated as 74% and 36%, respectively. Extent of the primary tumor (P = .010), nodal spread (P = .009), and age (P = .004) significantly reduced the OS. Disease-free survival (DFS) was significantly reduced by age (P = .003), extent of the primary (P = .006), nodal (P = .004), and hematogenous (P = .048) spread. Multimodal therapy including surgery improved the OS and DFS rates (P < .05). CONCLUSION Prognosis is poor due to late disease recognition. However, multimodal therapeutic regimens, including surgery, may improve the outcome.
