Accessory tragus is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the external ear. The tragus derives from the first branchial arch. The accessory tragus can be found along the entire course of embryonic migration. Usually it appears as a small papules arising near the tragus, but rarely, along an imaginary line drawn back from the tragus to the angle of the mouth, or along the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the sternoclavicular region. We experienced a case of accessory tragi on the suprasternal region in an 9 year-old-boy.

Angiosarcoma is a rare and highly malignant neoplasm which develops from the endothelium of blood vessels. A few cases of primary angiosarcoma of the parotid gland have been reported. However, there is no report of primary angiosarcoma of the accessory parotid gland. In this case, we report a primary angiosarcoma of the accessory parotid gland in a 45-year-old man with growing cheek mass. Ultrasonography revealed a $2.0{\times}2.6cm$ sized homogeneous hypoechoic mass and computed tomography showed a contrast enhanced homogeneous mass. Fine needle aspiration biopsy suggested a benign tumor. The mass was completely excised with a minimal vertical incision. The histopathology showed anastomosing vascular channels lined by atypical endothelial cells and many branching vessels with staghorn appearance with positive immunohistochemical staining for CD34, a highly specific endothelial marker. The patient underwent postoperative radiotherapy and was followed for 8 years without recurrence and metastasis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate shoulder function and preoperative and postoperative electrophysiological changes related to the spinal accessory nerve with reference to neck dissection technique. Materials and Methods: We evaluated shoulder function by pain, strength and range of motion in a total of 35 neck dissection cases of 29 patients with head and neck cancer or thyroid papillary cancer. Electrophysiologic studies were performed before surgery, after third postoperative weeks and 6 months respectively. The results of each test according to the types of neck dissection were compared. Results: Clinical parameters of shoulder function and electrophysiologic study showed deterioration in early postoperative periods and improvements in late postoperative periods when the spinal accessory nerve was spared and permanent nerve damage was observed in radical neck dissection. There were correlations between the clinical parameters and electrophysiologic studies. Conclusion: The shoulder function after spinal accessory nerve sparing procedure is better than the function after nerve sacrificing procedure.

Anterior interosseous nerve palsy is known to occur uncommonly because of its compression by the accessory head of flexor pollicis longus(AHFPL) in the forearm. During routine educational dissection, we found 7 AHFPLs in 12 upper limbs of 6 adults Korean Jeju islander cadavers, which inserted onto flexor pollicis longus. Three AHFPLs of them arose from coronoid process of the ulna, and the others arose independently from the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS). Using the topographical relationship of the anterior interosseous nerve to the AHFPL, all anterior interosseous nerve was crossed the tendinous part of the AHFPL. This study has shown that there are discrepancies in the origin of AHFPL and the location of the anterior interosseous nerve in Koreans, which is supposed to be related to unique genetic pool in Jeju Island.

An accessory submandibular gland is a rare variation. As such, there is limited literature regarding the embryology, anatomy, variations, clinical imaging, and pathology of the accessory submandibular gland. In this article, we review the existing literature on the accessory submandibular gland from clinical and anatomical perspectives. The goal of this review is to provide comprehensive knowledge of this variation which can be useful for oral and maxillofacial/head and neck surgeons, radiologists, and anatomists. Within this review, the embryologic origin as well as the anatomy of the accessory submandibular gland is detailed. Several imaging modalities which can be used to visualize the accessory submandibular gland are outlined as well as its variations. Lastly, this review investigates several reported clinical considerations regarding the accessory submandibular gland including sialoliths, Wharton's duct obstruction, and pleomorphic adenoma.

The tumor in accessory parotid gland (APG) is rarely occurred and its incidence is about 7.7% of all parotid gland neoplasms, but has a higher frequency of malignancy than major salivary glands. The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignancy in APG, while B-cell lymphoma is less than 2%. It is often appeared as superficial mass in mid-cheek area. This lesion requires differential diagnosis with epidermoid cyst, lipoma, neurogenic tumors, Stensen's duct stone, lymphadenopathy and hemangioma etc. The mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, which is also termed extra-nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma tends to be localized disease for long time and has a relatively indolent course. We recently encountered a 69-year-old man with superficial solitary mass on the right cheek area that finally diagnosed as MALT lymphoma in APG. We report the rare and unique case with brief literature review.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of head posture and respiratory pattern on muscle activities of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and scalene during maximal respiration. The seventeen subjects with upper-costal breathing pattern were participated in this study. Surface electromyography was used to measure the muscles activities of SCM and scalene. The volume and velocity of inspiration were monitored by using the spirometer in each subject. Each subject was performed the 3-cycle of respiration in each condition. The mean values of three peak muscle activity in each muscle were used in the data analysis. A2 (head posture: forward head posture: FHP vs. neutral posture) X 2 (breathing pattern: costal vs. diaphragmatic) repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the normalized muscle activities of the SCM and scalene. The results showed that the muscle activities of SCM and scalene in diaphragmatic breathing were significantly lower than those in costal breathing for each head posture (p<.0125). The muscle activities of SCM in neutral position were lower than those in forward head position during costal breathing (p<.0125). The diaphragmatic breathing in neutral position of head is recommended to decrease the tension of the accessory inspiratory muscles during respiration in neck-pain patients with FHP.

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the changes of uptake around the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) according to 18F-FDG PET images in patients with head and neck cancer who underwent neck dissection. Materials & Methods: Retrospectively, the medical records of patients who received selective or comprehensive neck dissection were reviewed. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative 18F-FDG PET images, if available, were analyzed by nuclear medicine physicians in both qualitative and quantitative manners. Correlation between the changes of uptake around SCJ and perioperative data were statistically analyzed. Results: Thirty-seven patients satisfying the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Seven patients with increased uptake around SCJ on 1-year postoperative 18F-FDG PET showed a correlation with radical or comprehensive neck dissection, accessory nerve sacrifice, and high postoperative SUVmax. When 20 patients with increased uptake around SCJ according to quantitative measurement were compared with other patients without increased uptake, no parameter was significantly different, except postoperative SUVmax. Bivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the clinical symptom (shoulder or sternal pain) was significantly correlated with the extent of neck dissection (OR 0.227, CI 0.053-0.966, p=0.045) and spinal accessory nerve sacrifice (OR 13.500, CI 1.189-153.331, p=0.036). Conclusions: Increased uptake around SCJ on 1-year postoperative 18 F-FDG PET was correlated with either the radical or comprehensive procedure, as well as with accessory nerve sacrifice. This suggests that subjective analysis of 18F-FDG PET can be used to detect subclinical shoulder instability.

The differential diagnosis of lesions in buccal area include lipoma, neurofibromas, epidermoid cyst, salivary ducts calculus, hemangioma, lymphadenopathy. Accessory parotid glands is defined as salivary gland tissue adjacent to the parotid duct, but separated from the body of parotid and it may be found in approximately 20% of human parotid glands. The appearance of an accessory parotid tumor is rare, with a reported frequency of 7.7% of all parotid neoplasm. Angiomyoma, which is also termed angioleiomyoma, is a rare solitary subcutaneous tumors arising from the vascular smooth muscle. It often occur in the extremities and is rarely found in buccal area. We present 2 cases of rare tumor in buccal mass and resected surgically without facial nerve palsy.
