One type of soft tissue lesions of the oral cavity is lipoma, which is a kind of benign tumor composed of mature lipid cells. Although the lipoma presents as one of the most common mesenchymal neoplasms, most tend to develop on the trunk and proximal portions of the extremities. However, lipomas in the oral and maxillofacial region are much less frequent. Here we present a case of an intraoral lipoma in a six year-old child.

Neck dissection for oral squamous-cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a clinically controversial issue and has therefore been the subject of abundant research. However, no one has performed a bibliometric study on this topic to date. The aim of this study was to assess the development of research on neck dissection for OSCC in terms of the historical evolution, current hotspots and future directions, particularly including research trends and frontiers from 2010 to 2019. Literature records related to research on neck dissection for OSCC were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). CiteSpace was used as a tool to perform a bibliometric analysis of this topic. The survey included 2 096 papers. "Otorhinolaryngology" was the most popular research area. The most active institutions and countries were Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the USA, respectively. Shah J.P. was the most cited author. Among the six identified "core journals", Head & Neck ranked first. The top three trending keywords were 'invasion', 'upper aerodigestive' and 'negative neck'. 'D'Cruz AK (2015)' was the most cited and the strongest burst reference in the last decade. The study evaluated the effect on survival of elective versus therapeutic neck dissection in patients with lateralized early-stage OSCC. The depth of invasion and the management of N0 OSCC were research frontiers in this field. The present study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on neck dissection for OSCC, which will assist investigators in exploring potential research directions.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the outcomes following the tumor resection of oral cavity and maxillofacial and reconstruction with free anterolateral thigh flaps (ALT).

METHODSThirty one patients underwent ALT reconstruction following the tumor resection from Dec. 2004 to Dec. 2005. Among them, 17 cases were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of tongue, 6 cases of buccal SCC and 8 other malignant. The size of the ALT flaps ranged from 4 to 8 cm in width and 6 to 23 cm in length. Tracheotomy were performed for 4 cases intraoperatively.

RESULTSThe overall successful rate was 96.8%. Thirty cases survival no cancer, 1 case died of recurrent and no-controlled of lymph-node in 8 months after operation. Postoperative vessel thrombosis occurred in 3 flaps between 12 hours to 4 days after operation. Two of them were saved. The necrosis area of the third flap was 25%.

CONCLUSIONSThe ALT was benefit to repair the defects of oral cavity and maxillofacial, and the donor place was more easily hidden and didn't not influence the outlook and function; the important normal functional framing such as teeth and bone should be preserved; the pedicle of vessel could't be twisted during the procedure of reconstruction to avoid vein oppressed; the size of flap should be suitable to defects in order to avoid flaps being crowd and blood clot; tracheotomy was safe while repairing the defect of hard and soft palate.
