The presence of tonsilloliths was recorded along with NSD and CRS, with or without nasal polyps. The effects of age, gender, NSD, and CRS (with or without nasal polyps) on tonsillolith formation were analyzed. All CT images were re-evaluated for tonsilloliths, CRS, NSD and other pathological findings. The relationships between tonsillolith presence and NSD and CRS were statistically analyzed.Results: A significant difference in age was observed between individuals with and without tonsillolith (p<0.001). Additionally, the prevalence of tonsillolith was markedly higher in patients diagnosed with NSD compared to those without this condition (p<0.001). Similarly, patients diagnosed with CRS exhibited a significantly increased incidence of tonsillolith when compared to individuals without CRS (p<0.001).Conclusion: The incidence of tonsilloliths in this study was 27.6%. Tonsillolith prevalence increased with age, while no significant difference was observed based on gender. The presence of NSD, a condition associated with nasal obstruction, or CRS, an inflammatory disorder, was linked to a higher incidence of tonsilloliths.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144052808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bone dust was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for squamous cells and keratin and immunohistochemically for p63. Additionally, the feasibility of routine pathological examination of bone dust via H&E staining was evaluated for cost-effectiveness and for identifying patient groups needing advanced follow-up.Methods: Thirty-one patients with COM were enrolled: 14 with cholesteatoma (study group) and 17 without cholesteatoma (control group). Mastoid bone dust obtained during surgery was examined specifically for the presence of squamous cells, keratin, and p63, with evaluation performed using H&E and immunohistochemical staining techniques. Findings were compared between the study and control groups.Results: Keratin was significantly more frequent in the study group than in controls (43% vs. 6%, p=0.01). No significant differences were observed for squamous cell (p=0.43) or p63 expression (p=0.20). However, when any of the three markers were positive, a statistically significant difference was found between the groups (43% vs. 12%, p=0.049).Conclusion: These findings suggest that the mastoid air cell systems of patients with cholesteatoma may be affected differently prior to cholesteatoma spreading to the mastoid system. This could be linked to microcirculation of inflammatory proteins, impaired aeration, and the formation of retraction pouches. These results align with the metaplasia theory as a possible explanation for the etiopathogenesis of acquired cholesteatoma.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A limited number of cases localized in the submandibular gland have been reported. A 56-year-old male patient presented with a slow growing mass in the left neck region. On physical examination, there was a mobile mass measuring approximately 5x4 cm in the left submandibular area. Radiologic imaging revealed a septated cystic mass with peripheral contrast enhancement, containing both solid and fluid components. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) result was reported as atypia of uncertain significance. Submandibular gland excision was performed in the first stage. Since the pathology result was MASC and the tumor stage was T3, ipsilateral neck dissection was performed. On histopathological examination, neoplastic cells were seen to be rich in eosinophilic cytoplasm and vacuolization. Immunohistochemical examination revealed cytokeratin 7, mammaglobin and gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 positivity. By presenting this case report, we aimed to add a new case to the already limited number of submandibular gland localized MASC cases in the literature and contribute to the pool of knowledge on this subject. MASC should be considered especially in cases with submandibular gland localization in which the FNAB result is reported as atypia of uncertain significance.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144023580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and high-resolution T2 weighted sequences magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of temporal bones were used to calculate CDL. Patients were followed up for 12 months postoperatively with visits every three months for audiological scoring (infant-toddler meaningful auditory integration scale and revised central auditory processing scores).Results: Thirty-six candidates were included in the study. The mean CDL, as measured on temporal bone HRCT, was 32.72±1.278 mm, and, with MRI, was 33.4689±1.31. This study is suggestive of widely dispersed data (coefficient of variance <0.5), and hence, the hypothesis of \"implantation in CDL close to 31.5 mm will give the best improvement in functional outcome scores\" cannot be generalized. The improvement in functional outcome scores is likely attributable to other causes/multifactorial causation.Conclusion: We found no relationship between CDL and audiological outcomes post-cochlear implantation in prelingually deaf children. Further research with larger sample sizes, prospective multicenter designs and extended follow-up periods is warranted to strengthen evidence in this area.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"62 4","pages":"124-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977026/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted to compare levels of heavy metals in the nasal concha of the patients living in urban and rural who underwent partial inferior concha resection.Methods: Sixty-seven patients were divided into two groups: 38 rural patients and 29 urban patients. Partial inferior turbinate resection was performed in these patients with turbinate hypertrophy, and these tissues were examined for heavy metal levels. Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) levels were measured in inferior nasal concha by inductively coupled plasma- optical emission spectrometry.Results: The levels of Cu (0.24±0.048 vs. 0.06±0.019 μg/g) and Zn (3.29±0.69 vs. 0.44±0.14 μg/g) of the rural patients were significantly higher compared to urban patients (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the Cd level between groups. Pb (0.024±0.009 vs. 0.008±0.0002 μg/g) and Mn (0.273±0.01 vs. 0.174±0.05 μg/g) levels of urban patients were significantly higher than rural patients (p<0.001). Significance was considered at p<0.05.Conclusion: Heavy metals accumulate in the nasal concha at different rates in rural and urban areas. In pathologies with unclear pathophysiology and potential for heavy metal accumulation, such as air pollution, it may be helpful to indicate the presence of heavy metals in the nasal turbinate's and measure their amounts for diagnostic purposes.","PeriodicalId":44240,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology","volume":"62 4","pages":"161-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11977023/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
