    Abstract Abstract: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm that rarely metastasizes. SFTs was first described in relation to pleura. However, occurrence of this tumor type has been reported in other sites like peritoneum, liver, adrenal gland, meninges and oral cavity. In head and neck region, oral cavity is the most common site of involvement. Most of the solitary fibrous tumors are benign and present as an asymptomatic slow growing mass. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Hereby, we describe a case of 71-year-old male with malignant solitary fibrous tumor arising from right maxilla invading the right orbit presenting as proptosis.

    Abstract Operation theatre (OT) time utilisation rates can be improved with an assessment of the procedure time that will result in effective scheduling of cases. Our study is the first of its kind to audit the amount of OT time required for a particular surgery in lip and oral cavity cancers, depending on the various components of this complex procedure. This prospective cross-sectional study, based on an operative room database of 323 OT sessions, was conducted in the Department of Surgical Oncology at a tertiary care centre on lip and oral cancer patients from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2020. Various components of the surgery, like the primary site, operating surgeon, type of neck dissection, bone resection, and reconstructive procedure, were noted. The time of entry and exit of the patient from the OT was noted. Operative time and OT time utilisation rates were calculated. SPSS 21.0 statistical tool; Students 'T', ANOVA and Games-Howell tests were applied. In 323 OT sessions, while 303 surgeries were done for primary cases (93.8%), the remaining 20 cases were for recurrent cases (6.2%). Buccal mucosa and the floor of the mouth were the most and least common sites, respectively. The mean OT time was 212.42 ± 73.83 min, the maximum being the primary at alveolus. The mean OT late start time was 70.03 ± 23.41 min and the mean OT runover time was 37.62 ± 43.53 min. The mean time varied significantly with the type of neck dissection, bone resection, and reconstructive surgery done and the operating surgeon. The mean OT time was highest for free flap reconstructive surgery (328.71 ± 62.02 min), but it didn't vary with its type. Considering only the lip and oral cancer surgeries, the OT time utilisation rate was 57.1%. Assessment and quantification of the operative duration of lip and oral cancer surgeries will help in accurate prediction of surgical duration, better OT list planning, and thus improved OT time utilisation rate. Our research not only provides data on the historical mean of procedures, but it may also encourage other centres to adopt our quantitative approach to OT scheduling.

    Abstract Leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) of the head and neck are an extremely rare entity. Of all smooth muscle tumors, 4%-10% occur in the head and neck and only 0.06% in the oral cavity. Because of its infrequency, it has been associated with both delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Here, we report the clinicopathological findings of a case of primary LMS of the soft palate in a 42-year-old male patient with an emphasis on the judicious use of ancillary diagnostic modalities to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. Intraorally, LMSs present as painless, lobulated, fixed masses of the submucosal tissues in middle-aged or older individuals. The treatment modalities and lymph nodal dissection criteria are dissimilar to more common oral carcinomas. Hence, definitive diagnosis is necessary.

    Abstract In oral cancer surgeries, oncological outcomes take precious driverseat. But the copassengers like reconstruction, cosmesis, swallowing and speech outcomes deserve equivalent importance. Submental Artery Island Flaps (SAIF) provide an underutilized and extremely versatile option for reconstruction of defects following early stage oral cavity tumour resections. In this prospective observational analysis, we describe the technique, challenges and outcomes of SAIF at our tertiary care institute. Sixteen patients with Stage I and II oral cavity cancers were enrolled between June 2020 to May 2021. Verrucous carcinomas were five and well differentiated carcinomas were 11 patients. After tumour excision and neck dissections, defects were reconstructed with Pedicled submental flaps. Complications and functional outcomes were analyzed over two years. Nineteen percent were ladies and 81% were gentlemen. Median age was 52 years. Tongue tumours formed majority with 56% cases. Largest skin paddle taken was 36 cm

    Abstract Introduction: Head and neck malignancies are responsible for 30% of all cancers in India with a dramatic increase in numbers due to widespread tobacco consumption. This study aims to assess the epidemiological and histopathological spectrum of these tumors.
    Materials and methods: A large retrospective review of 5469 biopsy-proven patients presenting between 2018 and 2022 with head and neck cancers was done. Tumors were analysed for distribution according to sites of presentations, gender, age and histopathological profiles.
    Results: With a male-to-female ratio of 4.2:1, men constituted 80.80% of the study population. Mean age of presentation in women was 53.5 years, whereas men presented at an earlier age of 47.2 years. Oral cavity was the commonest site involved (59.7% cases) followed by the oropharynx (23.8% cases). Buccal mucosa was the commonest subsite involved with 1112 cases followed by tongue lesions with 1088 cases. Larynx was responsible for 17.04% of cases. All subsites were more commonly affected in men with the highest Male: Female ratio of 8.29:1 seen in larynx. The lowest ratio of 1.02:1 was seen in lesions of the face and scalp. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was the most common histopathological diagnosis encountered in 88.97% of cases followed by basal cell carcinoma which was seen in 2.10% lesions.
    Conclusion: Oral cavity lesions constitute the bulk of head and neck cancer presentations in India. The disease is more prevalent in men overall and men present at a younger age in comparison to women. SCC is the most prominent histopathology encountered in our study.

    Abstract About one-third of early stage oral cancer patients have occult nodal metastasis. High grade worst pattern of invasion (WPOI) is associated with an increased risk of nodal metastasis and poor prognosis. However, it still remains unanswered whether to perform an elective neck dissection for clinically node-negative disease or not. This study aims to evaluate the role of histological parameters including WPOI in predicting nodal metastasis in early-stage oral cancers. This analytical observational study comprised 100 patients of early-stage, node-negative, oral squamous cell carcinoma, admitted in the Surgical Oncology Department from April, 2018 till the sample size was reached. The socio-demographic data, clinical history, and findings of clinical and radiological examination were noted. The association of nodal metastasis with various histological parameters like tumour size, degree of differentiation, depth of invasion (DOI), WPOI, perineural invasion (PNI), lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and lymphocytic response was determined.

    Abstract Telementoring as a subset of telemedicine has evolved over the past few years, but it is yet to be utilized to its full potential. The technology holds promise in bridging divides of distance and enables far-flung areas to be mentored in operative advances. It thus has a special bearing in countries like India where health care is short staffed and many areas lack availability of quality care. We describe the setting up of a telementoring facility at our centre. As against a 'routine' facility with dedicated equipments which cost heavily, our facility was set up using mostly equipments commonly available in an operating room. The facility is presently functional and allows telementoring through an encrypted Web-based service. Our set-up design can be emulated in centres with financial constraint and can help raise the standard of surgical care.

    Abstract Secretory carcinoma of the breast is an extremely rare subtype of breast cancer characterized by intracellular or extracellular secretion and granular eosinophilic cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells. The disease which was considered to be predominant in younger age group has been recognized in adult population too and tends to show slow growth and indolent behavior. The disease occurs preferentially in females and only 27 cases have been reported amongst males. An optimal treatment for the disease subtype has been debated because of the paucity of data. We report two cases (one female and one male) of this rare disease that underwent treatment at our institution.

    Abstract To know the clinical and epidemiological characteristics & management strategies for the patients who underwent surgery for oral Squamous Cell Cancer (SCC) in a medical college hospital. Data pertaining to clinico-epidemiological factors & surgical management for oral cancer were analyzed in patients admitted to a tertiary level medical college hospital. Records of 139 patients admitted over a period of 10 years (January 1998 to December 2007) were used for data analysis. Only patients with complete records were included in the analysis. M: F ratio was 2.2:1 with average age of patients being 50.4 years. Tobacco chewing & smoking were major predisposing factors identified. Oral ulcer was the most common symptom while buccal mucosa, tongue & lower alveolus were three most common primary tumor sites. Majority of tumors were stage IV at presentation (52 %). Wide excision of tumor was done in 46 % of cases while in 54 % cases commando procedure was done. Reconstruction after either commando or wide excision was done in half of the patients. Pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap was used in majority of cases for reconstruction. Neck dissection was done in 67 % patients. Majority (85 %) of these were radical neck dissection (RND). Per operative blood transfusions were required in 64 % patients while 19 % patients needed post operative transfusion. Post operative complications were noted in 34 % of the patients. Of these majority were related to wound infection & orocutaneous fistula formation. Hospital stay varied from 7 to 105 days with the mean duration of 30 days. Two year follow up revealed a recurrence rate of 36 %. Majority of the patients presented at an advanced stage due to self as well as professional delay in diagnosis. This leads to difficulty in resection of the primary tumor as well as reconstruction of the defect. A higher rate of recurrence after surgery is also seen. Post operative complications increase the morbidity which is reflected by an increase in the hospital stay (19 days Vs 46 days).
